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

• $25K: $1,000
• $50K: $2,000
• $100K: $3,000
• $150K: $4,000

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

Per-contract margins set by underlying instrument. Position size capped per account size.

Scaling unlocked through the Loyalty Program (5 tiers: Starter, Rising Star, Pro, VIP, Legend). Increments depend on tier. Applies to all account types.

• Futures Fast: $1,000 (25K) / $2,000 (50K) / $2,500 (100K), trailing
• Futures Fast Pro: $2,000 EOD trailing (50K)
• Futures Instant: 5% EOD trailing

• 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.

All futures products: 80%

• Futures Fast: none
• Futures Fast Pro: $1,000 (50K)
• Futures Instant: 3% from highest day equity

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.

$300,000 combined across all Master Accounts and Instant Models (Forex + Crypto + Futures shared cap). No allocation limit during Challenge phase.

No mandatory buffer. Instead, when you request a payout your maximum trailing drawdown locks at your starting balance.

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.

No time limit on any futures account.

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

• Futures Fast Challenge: 5 profitable days before reward request
• Futures Fast Pro: 1 profitable day per reward request (50K)
• Futures Instant: 7 profitable days

• 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.

• 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.

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

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

No activation fee or recurring subscription.

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

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

Martingale strategies are forbidden.

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

• Futures Fast Challenge: 7 days
• Futures Fast Master: 14 days
• Futures Fast Pro Challenge: 7 days / Master: 14 days
• Futures Instant: 7 days

Days counted from the moment a position is CLOSED, not opened. Minimal 0.01-lot trades to game the rule don't count.

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

• Futures Fast Challenge: best day's profit must be < 40% of total accumulated profit. No consistency target on Master.
• Futures Fast Pro Challenge: same 40% rule.
• Futures Instant: best day cannot exceed 15% of total profit.
• Calculation: Best Day Profit / 0.40 = Minimum required total profit.

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.
