Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: Traders must reach an 8% profit target in Phase 1 and a 4% profit target in Phase 2, both with no time limit. On a $5,000 account, this means generating $400 in Phase 1 and $200 in Phase 2 in closed profits while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 valid trading days are required in each phase and per payout cycle. A valid day requires a minimum profit of 0.5% ($25) on a $5,000 account.
Daily loss limit of 4% (fixed on initial): On a $5,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $200. The threshold is calculated at 5:00 PM EST using the higher of balance or equity minus $200 (4% of initial balance).
Maximum drawdown of 8% static: The absolute floor is $4,600 on a $5,000 account. This is tighter than the GOAT and Standard models (both 10%), making the PRO the most conservative max drawdown model in the 2-step lineup.
Static drawdown model: Both limits are calculated from the initial account balance.
Leverage: Up to 1:100 Forex in evaluation, reduced to 1:50 in funded. Indices and Commodities 1:20 in evaluation, 1:10 in funded. Crypto 1:2 throughout.
Profit split: 80% default. Add-ons: 100% profit split and on-demand first reward.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly. First 2 payouts capped at 6% ($300) 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 ($50) per news event.
EAs allowed with restrictions. Copy trading banned. Weekend/overnight holding permitted.
PRO vs GOAT vs Standard at $5,000: PRO has 8%+4% targets with 4% fixed daily and 8% max DD. GOAT has 8%+6% with 4% fixed daily and 10% max DD. Standard has 10%+5% with 5% dynamic daily and 10% max DD. PRO offers the easiest Phase 2 (4%) and the tightest total drawdown (8%), making it the best fit for traders who want a quick Phase 2 close but accept less total buffer.
8% max drawdown is the tightest in the 2-step lineup: On a $5,000 account, only $400 of total drawdown is available. A trader hitting the daily limit once ($200) consumes half the entire available buffer, leaving almost no room for a second bad day.
Phase 2 at just 4% ($200): The PRO's Phase 2 is the easiest across all 2-step models. After $400 in Phase 1, just $200 more closes Phase 2 — less than the cost of one bad day. However, the tighter 8% max drawdown means the margin for error during Phase 2 is also smaller.
