Additional Rules

Single-phase evaluation: On a $25,000 account, traders must generate $2,500 in closed profits in one phase while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 valid trading days required in evaluation and per payout cycle in funded stage. Each day requires a minimum profit of 0.5% ($125) on a $25,000 account.
Daily loss limit of 4%: On a $25,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $1,000.
Maximum drawdown of 6% static: The absolute floor is $23,500 on a $25,000 account.
Static drawdown model: Both limits are calculated from the initial account balance.
Leverage: 1:100 Forex in evaluation, 1:50 in funded. Indices/Commodities 1:20 / 1:10. Crypto 1:2.
Profit split: 80% default, 100% and on-demand first reward available as add-ons.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly. First 2 payouts capped at 6% ($1,500) or $10,000, whichever is lower.
Daily profit cap in funded stage: $3,000 per day.
News trading: Permitted in evaluation. In funded, 1% profit cap ($250) per news event within 5-minute window.
EAs allowed with restrictions. Copy trading banned.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted.
1.67:1 PT:DD ratio: Favorable but the 4% daily limit means a single bad day consumes 67% of the entire max drawdown, leaving almost no room for a second losing session before total breach is possible.
Minimum day extension risk: Reaching the 10% target on a $25,000 account ($2,500) before completing 3 qualifying days forces continued trading with the profit already secured, adding unnecessary breach risk.
First payout cap at $1,500: The first two funded payouts are capped at $1,500 on a $25,000 account, with full access from the third payout onward.
