Trailing end-of-day (EOD) on all plans. Values per plan and size:

• Standard $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K: $1,500 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000
• Reserve $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K: $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500

• Direct $25K / $50K / $100K / $150K: $1,500 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $4,500

Once the trailing drawdown reaches the starting balance, it locks and stops trailing.

On Direct the drawdown becomes static after the account exceeds the initial trail balance or after the first payout request. After any approved payout the drawdown floor locks at starting balance + $100 on every plan.

EOD trailing drawdown: Elite Challenge, Elite Daily, Elite ACCESS, Instant Sim Funded and IGNITE.

Intraday trailing drawdown: S2F Sim Pro.

For Instant Sim Funded, the trailing drawdown locks above the starting balance once its lock condition is reached or after the first payout.

90% on all funded accounts and plans.

A payout delayed beyond the 24-business-hour guarantee adds an extra 10% profit share on that payout.

All products: 90/10 (trader keeps 90%).
