Available any time, or within 14 days of a breach. Each phase can be reset once. Price is a % of the original Challenge: Phase 1 −7%; Phase 2 +45–50%; Phase 3 +80%; Funded +50–175% (Instant: −7%).

• Instant Funding: Trailing
• Instant Premium: EOD high-watermark; not recalculated intraday or downward
• Instant Daily: intraday trailing on peak balance/equity. Locks at the initial balance when reached or at the first payout, whichever comes first; never resets. Withdrawing down to the initial balance breaches the account.

Most models: highest balance or equity recorded at end of day (EOD high-watermark).

• Instant HERO: daily starting balance at 5 PM EST.
• Instant Daily: none.

Measured on the initial capital, including floating losses; per its forum it resets at midnight UTC. Breaching it suspends the account.
