Additional Rules

Single-phase evaluation: On a $10,000 account, traders must generate $1,000 in closed profits while respecting all risk rules throughout the challenge.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 profitable trading days required for challenge completion and per payout cycle. Minimum profit of 0.5% ($50) per qualifying day.
Daily loss limit of 3% trailing: On a $10,000 account, the daily limit starts at $300. The limit is fixed in dollar terms based on the initial balance and does not change as the account grows.
Maximum trailing drawdown of 6%: Starting buffer is $600 on a $10,000 account. The floor rises permanently with each new equity high, progressively tightening as profits accumulate.
No time limit. Leverage: 1:50 Forex, 1:15 Metals/Energies, 1:10 Indices, 1:2 Crypto.
Profit split: 80% default, 90% add-on available. Payout: Bi-weekly. No consistency rule. Inactivity: 90 days.
News trading: Permitted in challenge. In funded ±2 minute restriction with profit removal.
EAs, scalping permitted. HFT, arbitrage, all-in sizing prohibited.
Trailing drawdown creates peak equity trap: On a $10,000 account, growing to $10,500 raises the trailing floor from $9,400 to $9,830. A subsequent adverse session that retraces $500 of gains leaves the account near its floor despite still being profitable overall. Traders who chase large profits without protecting the drawdown floor are particularly at risk.
1.67:1 PT:DD ratio requires efficient execution: Generating $1,000 in profit while managing only $600 of drawdown requires a positive expectancy well above 1:1 risk-reward across the challenge, leaving little room for multiple consecutive losers at any point.

Scaling Plan

Performance-based account growth: Traders who demonstrate consistent performance can increase their account allocation by 25% every four months.
VIP rewards program: After 4 months of funded trading and 4 successful withdrawals with at least 4% average monthly profit, traders unlock a free challenge, higher capital, and 90% profit split.
Maximum capital allocation: Up to $400,000 through performance-based growth.
Consistent rules throughout growth: All risk parameters remain unchanged as the account grows.
Profit split progression: The default 80% split increases to 90% through the VIP rewards program.
