Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: On a $8,000 account, traders must generate $640 in Phase 1 and $320 in Phase 2 in closed profits while respecting all drawdown rules.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 valid trading days in each phase and per payout cycle. Minimum profit of 0.5% ($40) per qualifying day.
Daily loss limit of 4% (fixed on initial): On a $8,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $320.
Maximum drawdown of 8% static: The absolute floor is $7,360 on a $8,000 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% ($480) or $10,000, whichever is lower.
Daily profit cap: $3,000 in funded stage.
News trading: In funded, 1% profit cap ($80) per news event.
EAs allowed with restrictions. Copy trading banned. Weekend/overnight holding permitted.
Tightest drawdown in the 2-step lineup: With only $640 of total drawdown available on a $8,000 account (8%), hitting the daily limit twice ($640) consumes the entire buffer. The PRO model at this size requires exceptional consistency in both phases with no room for back-to-back bad days.
Phase 2 at 4% ($320): The $320 Phase 2 target is the easiest among all 2-step models at this account size. After completing Phase 1, traders only need to generate $320 more to reach funded status, making the overall evaluation arc front-loaded in terms of difficulty.

Scaling Plan

Level 1 capital boost: After 2 months in the funded phase and 4 successful payouts, the account balance increases by 15%, profit split rises to 90%, and both drawdown limits increase by 1%.

Level 4 GOAT Trader status: After 6 months in the funded phase and 15 successful payouts, the capital boost reaches 50%, profit split rises to 95%, drawdown limits increase by 4%, and total capital can reach up to $2,000,000.
