Lvlup charges no payout fee.
Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.
- Lvlup: every 14 days. The days in the cycle do not need to be profitable.
- Starter: after every 5 profitable days. 5 payouts at most; the fifth closes the account.
- Legacy Master: requests can be submitted at any time and are processed weekly on Wednesday.
- Momentum Master and Fast Track: eligible requests submitted before 12:01 PM CT, Monday–Friday, are processed the same day.
Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.
- Lvlup: 10% of the starting balance per payout.
- Starter: 4% on 25K and 50K, 2.5% on 100K and 2% on 150K, never more than 50% of the profit generated.

- Lvlup: the 40% consistency rule must be met when you request the payout.
- Starter: the account is locked from the request until the payout is approved.
- The full requested amount comes off the balance and the drawdown is not reset.
- Momentum Master: 5 qualifying profitable days per cycle. Minimum profit per qualifying day: $100 on 25K, $150 on 50K, $200 on 100K and $250 on 150K. Minimum balances: $26,500, $53,000, $104,500 and $156,500 respectively.

A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.
- Legacy Qualification: resets cost $78. Active recurring Legacy subscriptions keep the free reset available on their renewal date.
- Momentum Qualification: reset available; price not announced. A reset does not extend the 30-calendar-day validity.
- Fast Track: no reset option.
Payout Protector (+25% of the price): if a funded account fails while in profit, they review the case and may pay what was eligible. It does not prevent the breach or keep the account open, and it must be added at purchase.
End-of-day trailing: it follows the highest closing balance and updates once the day ends; intraday moves do not shift it. On Lvlup it stops trailing once the account is up 6% and locks at the starting balance; Starter does not publish that lock. Touching it closes the account.
- Legacy No Scaling Account: real-time Trailing Drawdown.
- Legacy EOD Account: End-of-Day Drawdown.
- In Legacy Master accounts, both thresholds stop moving when they reach the initial balance +$100.
- Momentum and Fast Track Option 1: Trailing Drawdown.
- Momentum and Fast Track Option 2: EOD Drawdown.
- The amount for each account appears in the challenge table.
80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.
