Account scaling
No
Yes

Scaling plan applies to Simulated Funded and Professional Stage accounts. In Sim Funded, position size increases with realized profit (end-of-day). In Professional Stage, scaling is decided case-by-case by the Live Desk based on EOD realized results.
Sniper 25K and Accelerate 25K have fixed position limits and no scaling plan. Payday 50K has a scaling plan.
Choice has fixed position limits, the same as in the evaluation, and no scaling plan.

Max Drawdown

One Step: end-of-day trailing, rising with the closing balance. Instant: intraday trailing on peak equity, open profit included. Both lock once they reach the starting balance. Touching it ends the account.

Evaluation Phase

  • Prime / Classic / Premier EOD: End-of-Day trailing drawdown based on realized gains.
  • Elite / Premier Intraday: Intraday trailing drawdown based on unrealized gains.
  • S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.
  • Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown; optional EOD drawdown during evaluation.
  • Choice: End-of-Day trailing drawdown.

Simulated Funded Phase

  • Velocity: Intraday trailing drawdown, including accounts with the evaluation EOD Add-On.
  • End-of-Day drawdown on all plans except Velocity and S2F Accelerate. Except for Sniper 25K, once an End-of-Day account reaches the buffer zone (e.g., $52,000 for $50K account), the drawdown becomes static at the initial balance.
  • S2F Accelerate: Intraday trailing drawdown with no ceiling.

Professional Stage

  • End-of-Position (EoP) drawdown: adjusts only when a position is closed in profit. Drawdown locks at a static threshold once fully recovered (e.g., $50,100 for $50K account).

S2F Sniper / Accelerate / Payday

  • Sniper 25K: EOD trailing drawdown that never locks.
  • Accelerate 25K: intraday trailing drawdown that never locks.
  • Payday 50K: EOD trailing drawdown locks at the initial balance once the EOD balance reaches the initial balance plus the maximum drawdown.

Choice funded

  • End-of-Day trailing drawdown. Locks at the starting balance + $100 once the highest close reaches the starting balance + drawdown + $100, or at the first payout.
  • Daily Pay on 100K / 150K: $2,500 / $3,500 drawdown, tighter than the evaluation. Weekly Pay keeps the evaluation drawdown.
