Additional Rules
No evaluation — all funded rules from trade one including daily hard breach, EOD drawdown, and 20% consistency.
Daily loss limit of $2,500 — hard breach: Equity must not fall $2,500 below the day's starting balance. One adverse session at full 6-Mini capacity on ES can approach the daily limit with as little as a 4-point move ($1,200 per point = $2,500 in ~2 points). Strict position sizing is essential.
EOD maximum drawdown of $3,000 (3%): The trailing EOD floor starts at $97,000 and rises permanently with each profitable session close. Breach at EOD terminates the account.
7 winning trading days per payout: Each qualifying day must generate minimum $200 net profit. Days below $200 do not count.
20% consistency rule: On a $100,000 account with a first payout buffer of $6,000, a single day generating $1,200 or more requires total profits of $6,000+ before payout eligibility. Large single sessions early in a payout cycle can block withdrawals until subsequent trading normalizes the ratio.
Contract scaling requires $4,000 in profit for full access: The 6-Mini maximum is only accessible after generating $4,000 in funded profits. The first payout cycle ($6,000 goal) will be traded mostly at 2-Mini to 4-Mini capacity, limiting daily earning potential until profits accumulate.
Largest Instant Standard account with highest absolute daily risk: At $100,000 with 6 Minis available, the $2,500 daily breach threshold is the largest in the Instant Standard lineup. Combined with the 3% EOD floor ($3,000), this creates the most demanding risk management environment of any Instant Standard size.
Platforms: Tradovate, Volumetrica.
