Instant Funding, Instant Funding GO & Instant Funding Clarity

IF Micro Clarity & One-Phase Clarity

  • 6% trailing drawdown of the starting balance. Trails off closed trades only and never decreases.

Rest of accounts

  • Static

1-Step and 2-Step use static drawdown from starting capital. Instant PineX and Instant Elite trail new highs; PineX resets after a payout and Elite does not.
