Buying power scales from end-of-day profit and is adjusted daily at 16:00 CT.

After passing the Challenge the account moves through a level ladder. Each level has its own profit target and drawdown limit; reaching the target unlocks a payout and promotes the account to the next level, with more capital, more drawdown flexibility and a higher profit share. Smaller accounts run through around 10 levels.

• Evaluation and LiveSim: EOD (End Of Day balance)
• Live: Trailing

Trailing on end-of-day balance. It stops at the starting balance and never moves down.

• $25K–$200K accounts: 80/20 if the profit reaches or exceeds the threshold set for the account size; 50/50 if it is below the threshold.
• Trader Career Path® $400K accounts: fixed 60/40.

80%

Both Trading Path Career and Gauntlet Mini have daily drawdown limits. On the funded phase, daily drawdown can be removed upon request after the lower threshold of the trader's maximum drawdown reaches the account's starting balance.

Daily Pause is recalculated from the previous day's closing balance at 16:15 CT. It closes positions and pauses trading until the next day.
