Proprietary platform For Traders X. Liquidity provider not publicly disclosed.

No traditional refund. No activation fee after passing Fast/Fast Pro.

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

A failed account cannot be reset or reactivated: you have to buy a new evaluation.

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.
