All positions must be closed and KYC and compliance checks must be complete before requesting a payout.

Futures Prime: 5 profitable days of at least $150 each (not consecutive), one request every 7 days, and a balance at least $0.01 above the last post-payout balance.

• Futures Instant: one request every 5 days for amounts above $500, after meeting the cycle's minimum profit goal ($3,000 on $50K, $6,000 on $100K), which resets after each payout.

No payout fee

• 1-Step evaluation: a discounted reset can be purchased within 14 calendar days of a breach.
• 1-Step Funded: up to 2 resets before the first payout, within 14 days of the breach; each costs 5 times the evaluation fee.
• Instant: no standard reset; the same size can be repurchased at a reduced price within 3 calendar days of a breach.

Available for Futures Challenges with at least one trading day remaining; unavailable on Earning accounts.

Buying power scales from end-of-day profit and is adjusted daily at 16:00 CT.

After passing the Challenge the account moves through a level ladder. Each level has its own profit target and drawdown limit; reaching the target unlocks a payout and promotes the account to the next level, with more capital, more drawdown flexibility and a higher profit share. Smaller accounts run through around 10 levels.

• 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.

Trailing on end-of-day balance. It stops at the starting balance and never moves down.

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.

Daily Pause is recalculated from the previous day's closing balance at 16:15 CT. It closes positions and pauses trading until the next day.

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.

Unlimited evaluation accounts. Total funded allocation across 1-Step and Instant accounts is capped at $1,000,000.

No time limit for the 1-Step evaluation. Accounts close after 15 consecutive calendar days without a trade.

30 days (includes weekends and holidays)

The 1-Step evaluation can be passed in one trading day.

Respect Points Program (Affiliate)
10% commission on each referred trader turns into points for the original trader. Points accumulate per challenge purchased via your affiliate link.

The contract limit grows with each level of the ladder. An account that starts at 10 micros can reach 50 micros; larger accounts scale up to 50 standard contracts.

Bots, EAs and personal automated strategies are allowed if they do not exploit latency, feed errors or the simulated environment.

Connections must remain stable and verifiable. VPNs, proxies or location masking are prohibited when they impair identity, location or account-control checks.

VPN is allowed for individual traders, provided it is not used to mask shared access or coordinated activity between accounts. Multiple accounts accessed from the same IP / network is prohibited.

Hedging within one account is allowed, including mini versus micro positions. Opposing or correlated hedges across separate accounts or prop firms are prohibited.

Hedging within the same account is allowed for risk-management purposes, provided no Hedging Arbitrage is involved. Hedging between two accounts (BUY on one + SELL on the other) is prohibited.

Microscalping is allowed, but no more than 50% of total profit may come from trades held for less than 30 seconds.

Allowed when used responsibly within contract and drawdown limits. Aggressive exposure may be reviewed as gambling behaviour.

Allowed only between accounts personally owned and controlled by the same trader, including their accounts at other prop firms. Third-party signals, accounts and copy services are prohibited.

Copy trading is allowed up to 5 accounts (manual or automated). If you copy the same strategy to more than 5 accounts, we reserve the right to deny upgrades of additional accounts. You may only copy from external accounts that are yours (not from other traders). Copying between your Futures Challenges and Futures Earning accounts is prohibited.

• Futures Instant: allowed between 2 accounts.

Allowed without restrictions during the 1-Step evaluation. On 1-Step Funded and Instant accounts, orders cannot be opened, closed or triggered from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news.

15 consecutive calendar days without a trade is a hard breach and permanently closes the account.

21 consecutive days without placing a single trade → the account is considered inactive and breached. Holding an overnight position or having an unexecuted pending order does NOT count as activity. The countdown starts when the account is purchased/created.

• Futures Instant: 14 days without trading.

No consistency rule during the 1-Step evaluation. At payout, one day may represent at most 40% of cycle profit on 1-Step Funded accounts and 20% on Instant accounts.

40% Consistency Rule (Futures Prime Challenge only). Single-day profit may not exceed 40% of the profit target. Any excess is added to the new profit target. The rule does not apply to Earning accounts.

• Futures Instant: the biggest profitable day may not exceed 20% of total profit before a payout.

Positions cannot be carried through the Friday close into the Sunday reopen.
