KYC, agreement and interview before the first payout; account review for every request and further checks when required. After a payout the loss floor becomes the starting balance: retain enough profit to avoid touching it. Consistency resets even after a partial payout.

Round-trip commissions vary by instrument.

The official instrument table publishes the exact round-trip cost for each contract.

Failed challenges can be repurchased at any time. Funded accounts cannot be reset.

Direct Account: funded access without any evaluation phase.

1-Step Prime Challenge: single-phase evaluation with a profit target and consistency requirement.

Live program: whenever accumulated profit reaches 100% of the reference balance, the account grows by 10%. Payouts count toward profit and eligibility is reviewed on payout requests. The Forex scaling ladder does not automatically apply to Futures sim funded.

Scaling is available on selected programs and account sizes.

The exact contract limits are shown in each challenge.

Evaluation and sim funded: trails the highest end-of-day balance, not intraday unrealized peaks. It only rises and locks at the starting balance after earning the drawdown distance. A payout fixes the floor at the starting balance even if it had not locked yet. Touching it with balance or equity closes the account.

• Beginner and Beginner Max: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• HYPER Intra: intraday trailing drawdown
• HYPER Lite and HYPER Pro: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• Instant Pro Plus and Instant Pro Plus Max: trailing End-of-Day drawdown
• Instant Flex: 4% intraday trailing drawdown; it moves to break-even after the first payout

Each product split is listed in its challenge. The live program has its own split and starting-balance release requirements.

• Beginner, HYPER and Instant Pro Plus: 90%
• Instant Pro Plus Max: 70%

Prime evaluation and sim funded: no daily cap. Direct: based on the previous closing balance; reaching it closes positions and pauses trading until the next day, without terminating the account for that isolated event. Maximum-loss breaches still terminate the account.

• Beginner: soft daily loss pause
• Beginner Max: hard daily loss breach
• HYPER Intra, Lite and Pro: no daily loss limit during evaluation or simulated funded phase
• Instant Pro Plus: soft daily loss pause
• Instant Pro Plus Max: hard daily loss breach
• Instant Flex: no daily loss limit

Combined sim funded and Direct: up to USD 500,000 or five accounts, whichever comes first. Combined Forex and Futures: USD 800,000. One live account may additionally be held.

After a payout the balance must stay above the starting balance, which becomes the loss floor. Withdrawing all profit would leave no room above that limit.

Beginner Max requires clearing a buffer before the first payout. The standard Beginner account has no buffer requirement.

At most five sim funded or Direct accounts, subject to total allocation; one additional live account. Unlimited evaluation purchases.

• Beginner Max: up to 10 accounts
• Instant Pro Plus Max: up to 10 accounts
• Standard programs, HYPER and Instant Flex: up to 3 accounts

Unlimited on all plans.

• Beginner Max: 30 days to pass the evaluation
• Beginner and HYPER: no evaluation time limit

None on any plan.

Beginner and HYPER have no additional minimum trading days.

The profit targets and applicable consistency requirements must still be met.

Sim funded: no monthly membership fee; Level 1 data included. Live: professional data, USD 130 per exchange per month or USD 520 for all four, without proration.

No activation fee.

Prime sim funded: five non-consecutive profitable days in every payout cycle, not only the first. Minimum daily profit: 25K, USD 100; 50K, USD 150; 100K, USD 200; 150K, USD 250. Direct has no profitable-day minimum.

The number of qualifying days depends on the program and payout.

• Beginner: 5 winning days
• HYPER: 5 winning days
• Instant Pro Plus and Instant Pro Plus Max: 10 / 8 / 6 / 5 qualifying days from the first through fourth payout
• Instant Flex: 6 qualifying days

The required daily profit varies by program and account size.

Size-based limits are listed on each challenge. Standard mini:micro ratio is 1:10; Micro Silver has double weighting, and MBT/MET count as minis. No progressive sim funded contract-scaling plan is documented. Live has separate limits.

• Beginner evaluation: contracts scale at 1:10.
• Beginner simulated funded: contracts scale at 1:5.
• HYPER: reduced contract limits apply in the funded phase.

Exact limits vary by program and account size.
