No Boxcar payout fee.

• Crypto ($100 – $499): $25
• Rise $500 or more: $50

Evaluation and initial funding are simulated. Prime, Flex and Funded reach live review after 5 approved payouts. Payout triggers review at USD 6,000 / 8,000 / 10,000 / 12,000 daily profit for 25K / 50K / 100K / 150K; the risk team may also initiate review. Approval, KYC and a separate agreement are required. One live account per eligible funded account with at least one payout.
Live starts at USD 0 with size-based EOD drawdown of USD 1,000 / 2,000 / 3,000 / 4,500, no DLL and exchange-specific position scaling. The floor locks at USD 100 upon earning profit equal to the starting drawdown or requesting an earlier payout. Daily requests when eligible.
Moving live closes all household simulated accounts; accounts without payouts are refunded. Prime, Flex and Funded forfeit remaining simulated profit, apart from an eligible final payout. Payout may settle profit above the buffer, capped at USD 15,000 combined with the usual split, after broker verification; the prior close is used and the transition session is excluded. Standard cooldown after a live breach: 2 weeks.

Payout: daily requests when eligible. Prime: from 3 days; Flex and Funded: from 5 days per cycle. Plaid: instant delivery to US banks; WorkMarket by ADP: 2 days for international banks. Prior review and approval required.

48 hours: if not paid within 48h, 100% profit split

Per-contract margins set by underlying instrument. Position size capped per account size.

USD per contract per side; round trip = twice the rate:

• ES, NQ, RTY, NKD, YM: 1.75.
• 6A, 6B, 6C, 6E, 6J, 6S, 6N: 2.40.
• CL, QM, NG: 2.00; QG: 1.30.
• PL, GC, SI, HG: 2.30.
• HE, LE, ZS, ZC, ZL, ZM, ZW: 2.80.
• MES, MNQ, M2K, MYM, MCL: 0.50; MGC: 0.80; SIL: 1.60.
  CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX contracts. QM, QG and NKD count as minis. MNG and MHG are unavailable. Live costs follow onboarding terms.

Active or failed evaluations and purchased direct-funded BoxcarFunded accounts can be reset. A reset replaces the account with the same plan and retains its history. Cost is the lower of the original amount paid for that account and its current reset price. Free accounts pay the current reset price. Funding earned by passing an evaluation needs a new evaluation after a breach; live accounts cannot be reset.

Level II: USD 13/month for CME only or USD 39/month for all four exchanges. Rithmic server-side copier: USD 15/month across all accounts on the login. An optional second login is also offered in the portal, with no confirmed public price.

BoxcarFunded starts directly in simulated funding.

Prime, Flex and Payout have one evaluation.

EOD trailing on Prime, Flex and Funded. Payout offers EOD or intraday in evaluation; funded is always intraday, including open profit. The floor never falls and stops at starting balance + USD 100, reached at starting balance + MLL + USD 100. A Flex payout request also locks the floor. Touching the floor, including through open losses, breaches the account.

• Futures Fast: $1,000 (25K) / $2,000 (50K) / $2,500 (100K), trailing
• Futures Fast Pro: $2,000 EOD trailing (50K)
• Futures Instant: 5% EOD trailing

Prime, Flex and Payout offer a DLL at purchase; the choice carries to both stages and cannot change. Hitting it closes positions and locks trading until the next session, without itself breaching the MLL. On funded Prime and Funded, the DLL becomes 60% of peak EOD profit after closing above the initial trail balance, and can only grow. Flex and Payout keep a fixed DLL; Funded 25K never acquires one.

• Futures Fast: none
• Futures Fast Pro: $1,000 (50K)
• Futures Instant: 3% from highest day equity

$300,000 combined across all Master Accounts and Instant Models (Forex + Crypto + Futures shared cap). No allocation limit during Challenge phase.

Prime and Payout must retain starting balance + MLL + USD 100 after a payout. Flex has no additional buffer but must respect its loss floor. Funded applies cycle goals and caps as well as loss-floor protection.

No mandatory buffer. Instead, when you request a payout your maximum trailing drawdown locks at your starting balance.

Unlimited evaluations and up to 5 active funded accounts across plans. Additional direct-funded purchases remain in reserve. No household simulated trading while a member trades live.

No fixed deadline to pass. Inactivity rules still apply.

No time limit on any futures account.

Prime evaluation: a 1-day pass is possible. Flex and Payout have no separate fixed minimum beyond consistency. Payouts: Prime from 3 days; Funded requires 5 trading days per cycle; Payout allows daily requests when other conditions are met.

No activation charge after passing and no account subscription.

Funded Flex: 5 separate days per cycle, each with at least USD 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 net profit for 25K / 50K / 100K / 150K. Day counts restart after payout approval.

• Futures Fast Challenge: 5 profitable days before reward request
• Futures Fast Pro: 1 profitable day per reward request (50K)
• Futures Instant: 7 profitable days

Only Flex sim-funded scales contracts with accumulated closing profit; losses or payouts can lower its tier. Prime, Payout and Funded retain full limits. Live scaling is confirmed per exchange.

One-time purchase with no automatic renewal. Platform and Level I data included. Breaches, lack of use or a change of mind do not normally qualify for refunds; duplicate or incorrect charges, missing access and statutory rights are reviewed. An unused purchase may receive discretionary review before any order or trade.

Scaling unlocked through the Loyalty Program (5 tiers: Starter, Rising Star, Pro, VIP, Legend). Increments depend on tier. Applies to all account types.

All futures products: 80%

Own automated strategies are allowed on evaluations and simulated-funded accounts, subject to all account rules. Software errors and HFT restrictions still apply.

EAs allowed only as decision-support tools (alerts, partial management, predefined rules). Fully autonomous trading bots are prohibited.

Opposing different products or mini/micro pairs are allowed within one evaluation or sim-funded account. Long and short in the same exact contract, or opposing same/correlated products across accounts, including other traders or firms, are prohibited. Same-account exceptions do not carry over to live. A first violation may return balances to the prior close; repeated violations may breach accounts and end access.

Cross-account hedging is forbidden.

Realistic scalping is allowed. More than 50% of profit from trades lasting 5 seconds or less may trigger review. A flag is not automatic failure; confirmed or repeated exploitation may lead to profit removal and loss of access.

Manual scalping allowed with minimum 5-second hold per trade. Tick scalping and HFT forbidden.

DCA and scaling into positions within contract and loss limits.

Permitted within account limits, although Boxcar strongly discourages it.

Martingale strategies are forbidden.

Across your own Boxcar accounts, using built-in or third-party copiers. Each account keeps its own limits. Credential sharing and trading for others are prohibited.

Outbound copy allowed; inbound copy from external sources forbidden.

Allowed on Prime, Flex, Funded and Payout evaluation. Funded Payout must be flat from 1 minute before through 1 minute after high-impact USD news on the Forex Factory calendar; violations breach the account. Cancel pending entries and pause automation. Live has separate terms.

News trading allowed without restrictions on Futures accounts.

At least one closed trade with USD 1 net profit or loss in every 30-calendar-day period. Otherwise the account may be permanently removed. Breached evaluations may be removed after 30 days without a reset.

• Futures Fast Challenge: 7 days
• Futures Fast Master: 14 days
• Futures Fast Pro Challenge: 7 days / Master: 14 days
• Futures Instant: 7 days

Days counted from the moment a position is CLOSED, not opened. Minimal 0.01-lot trades to game the rule don't count.

Prime: none in evaluation, 40% per funded cycle. Flex and Payout: nominal 50% in evaluation plus a 2-point cushion, an effective 52% ceiling; no funded consistency. Funded: 20% per cycle. Best net day divided by total net profit; fees and losing days count. Missing consistency delays passing or payouts without itself breaching drawdown.

• Futures Fast Challenge: best day's profit must be < 40% of total accumulated profit. No consistency target on Master.
• Futures Fast Pro Challenge: same 40% rule.
• Futures Instant: best day cannot exceed 15% of total profit.
• Calculation: Best Day Profit / 0.40 = Minimum required total profit.

Evaluation and sim-funded positions must close before weekends and exchange early closes.

Weekend holds are unrestricted.

Exploitative HFT, latency or delayed prices, unrealistic simulated fills, technical defects, spoofing, layering, prohibited coordination or hedging, and trading for others. Brief flipping to count trading days is allowed but does not replace minimum-profit days or payout goals.

• Arbitrage (latency, reverse, statistical)
• HFT
• Tick scalping (under 5 seconds)
• Fully autonomous bots/EAs
• Cross-account hedging
• Gambling behaviors
• Martingale
• Inbound copy trading and signal services
• Group/signal trading from Telegram, Discord etc.

Trading during the overnight session is allowed, but positions cannot cross the daily close: flatten by 16:45 ET and re-enter from 18:00 ET in the next open session. Scheduled automatic flattening is not a breach. Live follows its own schedule.

Position size capped by contract count per account (see Max Allocation).
