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.
Elite trades real capital by risk-team invitation; standard Funded accounts use simulated capital.
- 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.
Core and Instant: every 10 active sessions. Rapid Daily: after one session; Rapid Futures 3D: every 3 sessions. Rapid closes after the fifth payout. Flex: every 5 days; the checkout requires 5 days of at least $200 (50K) or $400 (100K); maximum 5 payouts.
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.
The website advertises processing within 48 hours or a 100% split on that payout. Bank transfer or USDC ERC-20 according to the help center.
- 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.
Up to 50% of profits per request, before the split. Core/Instant 50K: $1,500/$2,000/$2,500 for payouts 1-2/3-4/5+; 100K: $2,000/$2,500/$3,000. Rapid Daily 50K: $1,000 for the first two, then $1,500; 100K: $1,500/$2,000. Rapid 3D 50K: $2,000; 100K: $2,000 for the first two, then $3,000. After the first payout, new profits of at least 50% of the next requested amount are required. Flex: capped per cycle; the amount is not published.
$250 per request on Raid and Conquest. Ascension pays fixed bounties.
No published minimum.
- 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.
Per contract per side: dxFeed $0.75 micro / $2 mini; Tradovate $0.80 / $2.88. CME L1 included; other exchanges and L2 cost extra. Tradovate is limited to DLL accounts; evaluations cannot migrate.
Up to 3 resets per Trial account, bought manually. They restore the starting balance and erase the account history. Non-refundable.
Evaluation resets and up to two funded or Instant resets. Help articles exclude promotional accounts from resets, although the Welcome Futures checkout displays a reset price. Confirm before purchasing a Welcome reset.
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.
Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.
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: the threshold follows the highest closing value and never decreases. It locks at the initial balance when reached or after the first payout. Subsequent loss room consists of the profits left in the account.
80% on Raid and Conquest. Ascension pays fixed 100% bounties.
No daily loss limit.
Core DLL and funded Rapid Daily: the checkout and help center specify one soft breach and account termination on the second breach. Flex: soft limit, which can be removed for $30 extra.
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.
5 active accounts at once and no more than 20 new funded accounts in any 30 days.
Core and Instant: up to 10 funded accounts. Rapid and Flex: up to 5. One Welcome account per user. Unlimited evaluations; passed accounts can wait for an activation slot. Futures limits are separate from CFD/crypto limits.
No deadline, but you must trade at least once every 28 days.
Accounts purchased from 22 October 2026 at 18:00: no time limit for evaluations or Instant accounts and no monthly fees; only the 8-day inactivity rule applies. Older accounts retain their renewal terms.
- Trial: 3 days on Light Armor and 5 on Plated.
- Ascension: 5 days per cycle, not necessarily in a row.
Core: no minimum evaluation days. Rapid: the help center specifies 3 evaluation days and consistency. Flex: no minimum; the target can be reached in one 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.
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.
One-time fee per account, no subscription or rebills. You pick the platform at checkout.

Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.
Trades under 12 seconds count as microscalping and cannot exceed 50% of trades or profit. Tick scalping is forbidden.

Contract limit by account size, in minis or micros.
Position Loss plans aggregate all trades in the same market, including fees, spread and slippage. Limit: 1% in evaluation and 0.5% funded/Instant. Two soft closures; the third breach ends the account. Rapid Futures does not use this limit.

Free on the Trial. Once funded, stay flat from 2 minutes before to 2 minutes after NFP, CPI and FOMC; other news is free.
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.
Closure after 8 calendar days without trading. Opening or closing a trade resets the timer; an open position pauses it.
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.
Core: 30% funded and Instant, none during evaluation. Rapid: 40% during evaluation; none for funded Rapid Daily. Rapid Futures 3D: 40% per funded cycle. Resets after each payout. Flex: no consistency rule in evaluation or funded.
