Additional Rules

Payout profit goal of $4,500 before each withdrawal: Each cycle requires $4,500 in funded profits. Scalping trades do not count.
Trailing equity drawdown of $4,500 — real-time in funded: Same trailing equity model applies permanently in the funded stage. With 12 Mini contracts, a 7-point intraday rally raises the floor by $4,200 — nearly the entire buffer — without generating any closed profit if the position reverses.
No daily loss limit. Minimum 5 profitable trading days per cycle (min $350/day). 10 calendar day minimum between payouts.
40% consistency rule: On a $150,000 Prime funded account with a $4,500 goal, the maximum single-day contribution before triggering the consistency block is $1,799 — anything at or above $1,800 (40% of $4,500) requires additional trading to normalize.
Contract scaling to 12 Minis requires $6,500 in funded profits: Full contract capacity is only accessible after generating $6,500 — $2,000 above the first payout goal of $4,500. Most of the first payout cycle is therefore traded at 4-Mini or 8-Mini capacity, significantly limiting daily earning potential relative to the full contract ceiling.
Largest Prime funded account with the highest payout structure: At $150,000, the Prime funded offers the largest payout caps in the lineup ($4,500 from the third payout onward), the highest consistency threshold in dollar terms ($1,800 per day before the 40% block triggers), and the most aggressive contract scaling progression requiring the most funded profit accumulation before maximum capacity is unlocked.
Trailing equity permanently raises floor with every profitable move: Every session where unrealized profits are allowed to run before being captured as closed profit raises the trailing floor permanently — whether or not the trade closes profitably. Active position management, partial closes, and disciplined profit-taking are the primary tools for managing trailing floor compression on the $150,000 Prime funded account.

Scaling Plan

Progressive contract scaling: Funded stage begins at 4 Mini / 40 Micros (below $3,500 profit), advancing to 8 Mini / 80 Micros ($3,500–$6,499), and reaching the maximum 12 Mini / 120 Micros above $6,500.
Payout profit goal of $4,500 per cycle. Progressive payout caps: 1st=$3,500, 2nd=$3,900, 3rd+=$4,500.
40% consistency rule throughout funded stage. 90% profit split. Monthly subscription.
