Additional Rules

No evaluation phase: Immediate funded access from day one.
No profit target: Only obligations are the trailing daily drawdown, maximum drawdown, and floating loss rules.
Trailing daily loss limit of 3%: On a $250,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $7,500.
Trailing maximum drawdown of 6%: On a $250,000 account, the maximum loss from peak equity at any time is $15,000.
Maximum loss per trade rule: A combined open trade loss of -2% (-$5,000 on a $250,000 account) results in immediate account closure.
Drawdown resets after payout: The trailing maximum drawdown threshold resets after each successful payout.
Minimum trading days: At least 5 valid trading days required before each payout, with minimum profit of 0.5% ($1,250) per qualifying day.
Consistency rule: No single trading day can account for 20% or more of total profits during a payout period.
Profit split: 80% by default, 100% available as add-on.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly.
News trading: Permitted with a 1% profit cap ($2,500) per high-impact news event.
EAs allowed with restrictions: Own-code EAs permitted. HFT, arbitrage, and commercial EAs prohibited. Copy trading banned.
Weekend and overnight holding: Permitted with no restrictions.
Leverage: 1:100 for Forex, 1:20 for Indices and Commodities, 1:2 for Crypto.
Large-scale trailing drawdown risk: At $250,000, growing to $260,000 raises the trailing floor to $244,400 (6% below $260,000), leaving only $15,600 of buffer versus a $15,000 starting buffer. Extended profit runs tighten the buffer proportionally, requiring constant awareness of accumulated peak equity.
2% floating loss creates urgent position monitoring: A -$5,000 combined floating loss triggers immediate closure. At this account size, monitoring combined floating PnL across all open instruments in real time is a non-negotiable operational requirement.

Level 2 progression: After 4 months in the funded phase and 6 successful payouts, the capital boost increases to 30%, drawdown limits increase by 2%, and payout frequency upgrades to weekly.
Level 3 consistency reward: After 5 months in the funded phase and 10 successful payouts, the capital boost reaches 40%, profit split rises to 92%, drawdown limits increase by 3%, weekly payouts continue, a free challenge replacement is unlocked, and a monthly salary of $500 applies.
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.
Scale-ups based on original account size: All scaling increases are calculated from the original account size.
