After the three Ascension cycles you move to a Live account with Midgard's real capital, starting at $1,000 to $4,000 by size. Minimum balance: 30% of the highest end-of-day balance, which only rises; if equity touches it, the account is liquidated. No targets or payout caps. It requires extra verification (proof of address, phone and tax ID) and the trader pays their own market data.

A small group of consistently profitable traders may be invited to a Live Funded Account at FTMO's discretion. It cannot be requested and additional country restrictions apply.

• Raid: once per CME session; after a payout, wait for the next session (6 PM ET).
• Conquest: after 5 days at the minimum daily profit ($200, $250, $300 and $350 by size) and total profit of at least 5 times that minimum.
• Ascension: one bounty each completed cycle.

On demand once the qualifying-day requirements for the current payout cycle are met.

Paid as soon as you confirm an eligible request. It can be held while your latest fills are checked (about 15 minutes) or while the account is under review.

• Raid Light Armor: $1,000, $1,500, $2,000 and $2,500 per request (25K to 150K).

• KYC with Sumsub (ID and facial check) before the first payout.
• Payouts go through Rise or Dots, which ask for their own onboarding and tax forms.
• Microscalping: at most 50% of trades or profit since the last payout can come from trades under 12 seconds.
• Raid: the buffer must stay intact after each payout.
• Light Armor: you can only withdraw profit made since the last payout. Plated: the same, but only after a payout taken while profit was above the cap.

At least 50% of every requested payout must come from new profit generated during the current payout cycle. US clients must submit Form W-9 and proof of ownership of an eligible US bank account before their first payout.

Up to 3 resets per Trial account, bought manually. They restore the starting balance and erase the account history. Non-refundable.

Evaluation accounts can be reset to their original conditions without changing the monthly billing date. There is no limit on purchased resets.

PLAT End-of-Day Drawdown boost: a Trial bought with it trails the highest end-of-day balance instead of intraday equity. Its price is not public.

Intraday trailing: it follows the highest equity, unrealized profit included. On the Trial it locks at the profit target. Once funded it locks at the starting balance when profit reaches the buffer, which equals the drawdown. Losses and payouts reduce it dollar for dollar; at zero the account fails.

End-of-day trailing drawdown based on the highest closing balance. It can only move upward and locks permanently once it reaches the initial account balance.

80% on Raid and Conquest. Ascension pays fixed 100% bounties.
