Max Drawdown
  • Evaluation and LiveSim: EOD (End Of Day balance)
  • Live: Trailing
  • 1-Step: EOD trailing, based on the highest end-of-day balance; it locks at the initial balance once the Profit Buffer is reached.
  • Instant: intraday trailing, following the highest balance or open equity.
  • Reaching the maximum drawdown is a hard breach.
Profit Split
  • $25K–$200K accounts: 80/20 if the profit reaches or exceeds the threshold set for the account size; 50/50 if it is below the threshold.
  • Trader Career Path® $400K accounts: fixed 60/40.

Daily Drawdown

Both Trading Path Career and Gauntlet Mini have daily drawdown limits. On the funded phase, daily drawdown can be removed upon request after the lower threshold of the trader's maximum drawdown reaches the account's starting balance.

Calculated from the end-of-day balance. A breach is soft: positions are closed and trading stops for that day; the account is not failed. The new daily limit on 25K 1-Step evaluations applies only to new purchases; existing accounts retain their original rules.

Max Allocation

Maximum of 3 funded accounts. Only one of them can be LiveSim

1,000,000
Mandatory buffer
No
Limited

Applies only to 1-Step Funded accounts and must remain in the account: $1,000 on $25K, $2,000 on $50K, $3,000 on $100K and $4,500 on $150K. Each payout also requires new profit equal to 1% of the initial balance above the buffer. Instant accounts use a recurring payout milestone instead: $1,450, $3,000, $5,000 and $8,000 respectively.

Maximum Trading Days

Unlimited

A profitable day requires at least 0.25% of the initial account balance in realised profit.
