Swap Free
Limited

Paid add-on with a fixed price per size, from $9 (2.5K) to $146 (200K). Reviewed if profit comes mainly from positions held through the rollover.

No
Account Reset
Limited

Voluntary evaluation reset with no open positions: a new account at 20% off the current price. After a breach, a paid restart for 7 days. Funded accounts can buy a reset while under 10% of the max loss has been used.

If you don’t complete a challenge, you can restart it at any time with a 12% discount. You’ll also get a single-use coupon that gives you 10% off any program.

Reset: buy a Reset to continue from the phase where you breached instead of starting over — it issues a new account at that phase (Funded reset gives a new Funded account, no re-evaluation). Available any time, or within 14 days of a breach. Each phase can be reset once. Price is a % of the original Challenge: Phase 1 −7%; Phase 2 +45–50%; Phase 3 +80%; Funded +50–175% (Instant: −7%).

Weekend Holding (20% of the fee) and Swap-Free (fixed price per size). Bought with the account and non-refundable.

Account scaling
Yes

Automatic 90-day cycles: +30% size (up to 680K; 340K on Instant) and +5 split points. They require 50 trades, 12% net (1 Step), 10% (2 Step) or 15% (Instant), 2 of 3 profitable months (all 3 on Instant and Prime), no trade above 7.5% of profit (5% on Instant and Prime) and no warning.

Max Drawdown

Static on every plan: the floor stays fixed below the starting balance and is measured on equity, floating loss included. Touching it ends the account.

  • 1-Step, 2-Step: Static
  • Instant Funding: Trailing
  • Instant Premium: EOD high-watermark; not recalculated intraday or downward
  • Instant Daily: intraday trailing on peak balance/equity. Locks at the initial balance when reached or at the first payout, whichever comes first; never resets. Withdrawing down to the initial balance breaches the account.
Profit Split

Edge rises 5 points per scaling cycle up to 95%; Instant Pro up to 90%; Instant Go up to 85%. Prime moves to 100% after 30 days funded and does not rise with scaling. Each strike pays the next payout at 10%.

Profit split varies by product; see challenges. Add-ons may offer a higher split.

  • Instant Daily: base split in the catalogue; 70% on payouts 3 and 4, 80% from payout 5.
