Lvlup charges no payout fee.

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.

Both the evaluation and the funded account are simulated, unless a separate agreement says otherwise.

• 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.

• Lvlup: every 14 days. The days in the cycle do not need to be profitable.
• Starter: after every 5 profitable days. 5 payouts at most; the fifth closes the account.

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.

Approved payouts are processed within 48 hours at most, usually 24 to 48h.

• 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.

• Lvlup: 10% of the starting balance per payout.
• Starter: 4% on 25K and 50K, 2.5% on 100K and 2% on 150K, never more than 50% of the profit generated.

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

• Starter: $500 on every size.
• Lvlup: 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.

• KYC with Sumsub before the funded account. The payout method must belong to the verified holder.
• Lvlup: the 40% consistency rule must be met when you request the payout.
• Starter: the account is locked from the request until the payout is approved.
• The full requested amount comes off the balance and the drawdown is not reset.

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

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

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.

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.

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: 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.

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

80% on Lvlup and 100% on Starter.

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

$1,000,000 per trader, adding up every active account, evaluation and funded.

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 fixed number of accounts: the limit is the total capital.

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

• Lvlup: no expiry, but you must trade at least once every 30 days.
• Starter: 30 days from the first trade; it does not renew.

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

5 in the evaluation. Any day with at least one executed trade counts.

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.

• Lvlup: activation fee after passing, due within 30 days. It is lower if the evaluation was monthly. No monthly fee once funded.
• Starter: no activation fee.

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.

Lvlup Elite: 1 point per dollar paid out by Lvlup and 200 per passed Lvlup account; verified payouts and passes at other futures firms count too. 10,000 points unlock 12 months in a club with events and trips, where each point is worth $1. It cannot be bought.

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

• Lvlup: none; payouts follow 14-day cycles.
• Starter: 5 profitable days before each payout.

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

• Lvlup: monthly or one-time payment, your choice. The monthly fee runs while the evaluation is open and stops when you pass, fail or cancel.
• Starter: one-time payment only.
• On Volumetrica, Lvlup monthly ($129, $225, $369 and $476) and Starter ($161, $226, $291 and $356) cost more. Lvlup one-time costs the same on both platforms.

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.

40%: your best day cannot exceed 40% of total profit. On Lvlup it applies in the evaluation and at every payout request; on Starter, only in the evaluation. Exceeding it does not fail the account: you keep trading until it drops below 40%.
