Current CFD programs use two systems:

• Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6% on Ash and Thunderbolt, 10% on Phoenix Legacy, 8% on Vanguard, 5% on Oracle and 4% on Ember. It trails the equity high-water mark and locks at the initial balance where specified.
• Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
  Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
• Horizon and Odyssey: Dynamic Risk Shield™ follows the highest equity, only moves upward and stops at the initial balance, in evaluation and funded phases.

• Forex Fast: 6% trailing
• Forex Fast Static: 6% balance-based static
• Forex Classic: 8% or 10% (depending on order)
• Forex Strike: 5% from initial balance
• Forex Pay After Pass: 6% trailing
• Forex Instant: 5% trailing
• Forex Instant Pro: 6% trailing

Standard profit split: 90%. A trader can select 80% or 100% at checkout; changing the split also changes the Challenge price. The selected split remains linked to that account, and older accounts retain their original conditions.

• Forex evaluation products (Fast, Fast Static, Classic, Strike and Pay After Pass): 80% or according to the selected order
• Forex Instant: starts at 70% and increases by 5% with each reward, up to 90%
• Forex Instant Pro: starts at 60% and increases by 10% with each reward, up to 90%
