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

• 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.

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

• 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.

• 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

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.

• 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.

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.

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

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.

No time limit on any futures account.

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

No activation fee or recurring subscription.

One-time purchase fee. No subscription or automatic rebilling, and no activation fee after passing.
