Simulated Funded Accounts

• Maximum of 3 resets per funded account.
  S2F Sniper, S2F Accelerate (including existing accounts) and S2F Payday cannot be reset.

Core: S2F Payday. Labs, invite only: S2F Sniper and S2F Accelerate (25K / 50K).

Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.

Scaling plan applies to Simulated Funded and Professional Stage accounts. In Sim Funded, position size increases with realized profit (end-of-day). In Professional Stage, scaling is decided case-by-case by the Live Desk based on EOD realized results.
Sniper 25K and Accelerate 25K have fixed position limits and no scaling plan. Payday 50K has a scaling plan.
Choice has fixed position limits, the same as in the evaluation, and no scaling plan.

EOD trailing: the threshold follows the highest closing value and never decreases. It locks at the initial balance when reached or after the first payout. Subsequent loss room consists of the profits left in the account.

Evaluation Phase

• Prime / Classic / Premier EOD: End-of-Day trailing drawdown based on realized gains.
• Elite / Premier Intraday: Intraday trailing drawdown based on unrealized gains.
• S2F Standard: End-of-Day drawdown.
• S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.
• Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown; optional EOD drawdown during evaluation.
• Base Plan: $2,000 End-of-Day trailing drawdown based on the highest End-of-Day balance.
• Choice: End-of-Day trailing drawdown.

Simulated Funded Phase

• Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown, including accounts with the evaluation EOD Add-On.
• End-of-Day drawdown on all plans except Velocity, S2F Accelerate and Base Plan. Except for Sniper 25K, once an End-of-Day account reaches the buffer zone (e.g., $52,000 for $50K account), the drawdown becomes static at the initial balance.
• S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.
• Base Plan: $2,000 intraday trailing drawdown that locks once the account reaches $2,000 in profit.

Professional Stage

• End-of-Position (EoP) drawdown: adjusts only when a position is closed in profit. Drawdown locks at a static threshold once fully recovered (e.g., $50,100 for $50K account).

S2F Sniper / Accelerate / Payday

• Sniper 25K: EOD trailing drawdown that never locks.
• Accelerate 25K: intraday trailing drawdown that never locks.
• Payday 50K: EOD trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance once the EOD balance reaches the initial balance plus the maximum drawdown.

Choice funded

• End-of-Day trailing drawdown. Locks at the starting balance + $100 once the highest close reaches the starting balance + drawdown + $100, or at the first payout.
• Daily Pay on 100K / 150K: $2,500 / $3,500 drawdown, tighter than the evaluation. Weekly Pay keeps the evaluation drawdown.

Core DLL and funded Rapid Daily: the checkout specifies one soft closure and account termination on the second breach. Older Core DLL articles still describe an immediate hard breach.

Evaluation & Simulated Funded Accounts

• Except for Payday 50K and Choice Daily Pay, no explicit daily loss limit (DLL) during evaluation or simulated funded phase. However, the 2% CME price limit rule applies.

Professional Stage Accounts

• Daily Loss Limit (DLL) applies and is tied to the current scaling tier.

S2F Sniper / Accelerate / Payday

• Sniper 25K and Accelerate 25K: no daily loss limit.
• Payday 50K: a daily loss limit applies; exceeding it is a hard breach. The amount is shown in the challenge catalogue.

Choice

• Evaluation and Weekly Pay: no daily loss limit.
• Daily Pay: $500 / $1,000 / $1,250 / $1,750 (25K / 50K / 100K / 150K). First hit stops trading for the day; second hit closes the account. Strikes never reset.

Core and Instant: up to 10 funded accounts. Rapid: up to 5. One Welcome account per user. Unlimited evaluations; passed accounts can wait for an activation slot. Futures limits are separate from CFD/crypto limits.

New purchases: 90-day evaluation; Instant accounts have no expiry. No monthly renewal fees for purchases from 22 October 2026 at 18:00. Older accounts retain their renewal terms.

• Choice: minimum 3 trading days to pass due to the 40% consistency rule; 2 days with the 50% Consistency Add-On.

Daily Payout Add-On available for Velocity Plan: enables daily payout requests (1x per day) with no consistency rule and no minimum trading day requirement.
Velocity EOD Drawdown Add-On: evaluation only. Fees: 25K $30; 50K $50; 100K $80; 150K $110. Funded drawdown remains intraday.
Choice 50% Consistency Add-On: evaluation only, +20% on the evaluation price. Consistency goes from 40% to 50%, allowing a 2-day pass.
