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.

Traders may enter the live-account review pool after payout 5, significant lifetime payouts, exceptional simulated-funded performance or a previous live transition. Selection is always at Finotive Futures' discretion.

• 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 all requirements 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.

Payout requests are processed within 24 to 48 hours.

• 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.

1-Step Funded

• $25K: $1,000 first payout; $1,500 thereafter
• $50K: $2,000 first payout; $2,500 thereafter
• $100K: $2,500 first payout; $3,000 thereafter
• $150K: $3,000 first payout; $3,500 thereafter

Instant

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

$500 before the 90% reward split.

• 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.

All positions must be closed and KYC and compliance checks must be complete before requesting a payout.

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

• 1-Step evaluation: a discounted reset can be purchased within 14 calendar days of a breach.
• 1-Step Funded: up to 2 resets before the first payout, within 14 days of the breach; each costs 5 times the evaluation fee.
• Instant: no standard reset; the same size can be repurchased at a reduced price within 3 calendar days of a breach.

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.

• 1-Step: EOD trailing, based on the highest end-of-day balance; it locks at the initial balance once the Profit Buffer is reached.
• Instant: intraday trailing, following the highest balance or open equity.
• Reaching the maximum drawdown is a hard breach.

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

No daily loss limit.

Calculated from the end-of-day balance. A breach is soft: positions are closed and trading stops for that day; the account is not failed. The new daily limit on 25K 1-Step evaluations applies only to new purchases; existing accounts retain their original rules.

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

Raid only: the buffer equals the account drawdown and only profit above it can be withdrawn.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

Applies only to 1-Step Funded accounts and must remain in the account: $1,000 on $25K, $2,000 on $50K, $3,000 on $100K and $4,500 on $150K. Each payout also requires new profit equal to 1% of the initial balance above the buffer. Instant accounts use a recurring payout milestone instead: $1,450, $3,000, $5,000 and $8,000 respectively.

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

Unlimited evaluation accounts. Total funded allocation across 1-Step and Instant accounts is capped at $1,000,000.

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

No time limit for the 1-Step evaluation. Accounts close after 15 consecutive calendar days without a trade.

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

The 1-Step evaluation can be passed in one trading day.

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.

PLAT: points for purchases, milestones and promotions, which can also be bought. They cannot be withdrawn, have no cash value and are reversed if the purchase is refunded.

• Conquest: 5 days at the minimum daily profit for its size.
• Raid and Ascension: none.

• 1-Step evaluation: none
• 1-Step Funded: 3 per payout cycle
• Instant: 5 per payout cycle

A profitable day requires at least 0.25% of the initial account balance in realised profit.

One-time fee per account, no subscription or rebills. You pick the platform at checkout.

One-time purchase fee. No subscription or automatic rebilling, and no activation fee after passing.

Bots, AI execution and mass order entry are forbidden.

Bots, EAs and personal automated strategies are allowed if they do not exploit latency, feed errors or the simulated environment.

Connections must remain stable and verifiable. VPNs, proxies or location masking are prohibited when they impair identity, location or account-control checks.

Hedging within one account is allowed, including mini versus micro positions. Opposing or correlated hedges across separate accounts or prop firms are prohibited.

Trades under 12 seconds count as microscalping and cannot exceed 50% of trades or profit. Tick scalping is forbidden.

Microscalping is allowed, but no more than 50% of total profit may come from trades held for less than 30 seconds.

Allowed when used responsibly within contract and drawdown limits. Aggressive exposure may be reviewed as gambling behaviour.

Contract limit by account size, in minis or micros.

Only between your own Midgard accounts. Copying other traders or signal services is forbidden.

Allowed only between accounts personally owned and controlled by the same trader, including their accounts at other prop firms. Third-party signals, accounts and copy services are prohibited.

Free on the Trial. Once funded, stay flat from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after NFP, CPI and FOMC; other news is free.

Allowed without restrictions during the 1-Step evaluation. On 1-Step Funded and Instant accounts, orders cannot be opened, closed or triggered from 2 minutes before until 2 minutes after high-impact news.

At least one trade every 28 days, counted from purchase or the last reset. Otherwise the account is closed with no refund; they email about 5 days before.

15 consecutive calendar days without a trade is a hard breach and permanently closes the account.

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.

No consistency rule during the 1-Step evaluation. At payout, one day may represent at most 40% of cycle profit on 1-Step Funded accounts and 20% on Instant accounts.

Positions cannot be carried through the Friday close into the Sunday reopen.
