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.

• 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.

Flex: every 5 winning days. Direct: on demand once the profit goal and payout rules are met. Processing within 2 business days.

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).
• Raid Plated: $10,000 per request on every size.
• Conquest: up to 50% of profit, capped at $1,000, $1,500, $2,000 and $2,500 on Light Armor and $2,500, $5,000, $7,500 and $10,000 on Plated.
• Live: no cap.

Flex: 50% of cycle profits, capped at $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 for $50K / $100K / $150K. Direct: $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $3,500 per request for $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K.

$250 per request on Raid and Conquest. Ascension pays fixed bounties.

Flex: $500 / $1,000 / $1,500 for $50K / $100K / $150K. Direct: $500 on all sizes.

• 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.

Direct: reach the overall profit goal of $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000 for $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K before requesting a payout. Remaining profits provide the drawdown cushion after withdrawal.

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

Unlimited paid resets during Flex evaluation only. No resets on Flex funded or Direct accounts.

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.

Flex only, selected at checkout: increase split to 100% (+15% fee), remove daily loss limit (+15%), or add $250 to maximum loss allowance (+15%). All three: +35%. No add-ons on Direct.

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.

EOD trailing, calculated on closing balance. After a withdrawal, the maximum-loss floor locks permanently at the initial starting balance.

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

Flex and Direct use a fixed split instead of the former payout tiers. Flex offers an optional 100% split at checkout.

No daily loss limit.

Soft breach: reaching the daily limit pauses trading for the rest of the day. Direct $25K has no daily loss limit; Flex can remove it with an add-on.

Up to 5 active accounts at once, Trial or funded: $750,000 with five 150K accounts.

Maximum 5 active accounts across Flex evaluation, Flex funded and Direct combined.

Raid only: the buffer equals the account drawdown and only profit above it can be withdrawn. Conquest has no buffer.

5 active accounts at once and no more than 20 new funded accounts in any 30 days.

No deadline, but you must trade at least once every 28 days.

Flex evaluation: 30 days; paid extensions available in the dashboard. Direct: no evaluation time limit.

• Trial: 3 days on Light Armor and 5 on Plated.
• Ascension: 5 days per cycle, not necessarily in a row.

Flex evaluation: no fixed minimum, but the 50% consistency rule applies. Direct: no evaluation.

No activation fee on purchased accounts. Free accounts (100% code, gift or giveaway) may pay a one-time activation when moving to funded: $49 on Light Armor and $99 on Plated.

No activation fee or recurring subscription.

At least 1 trade every 2 weeks; after inactivity, a reminder gives 1 additional week before closure. Applies to evaluation and funded accounts.

40% on the Trial only: the best day cannot exceed 40% of profit. You need the target or the best day divided by 0.4, whichever is higher. None once funded.
