Max Drawdown

Balance-based

Current CFD programs use three systems:

  • Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6% on Ash and Thunderbolt, 7% on Vanguard, 5% on Oracle and 4% on Ember. It trails the equity high-water mark and locks at the initial balance where specified.
  • Static maximum loss: 6% on Phoenix Classic, Ignite Classic and Ignite Turbo; 10% on Phoenix Legacy; 7% on Surge. The floor is fixed from the initial balance.
  • Nonstop Dynamic Risk Shield™: 3% on Supernova and Hypernova; 2% on Ultranova. It trails continuously and never locks.
    Percentages and behavior are shown per phase in the challenge catalogue.
Profit Split

Bootcamp and Hyper-Growth: Starts at 50%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
High Stakes and ProGrowth: Starts at 80%. It grows up to 100% through scaling
Summer Plan $100K: 75%/25% (fixed across scaling tiers, limited-time)
Summer 2-Step $200K: 80%/20% (fixed; no scaling, limited-time)

Standard profit split: 90%. A trader can select 80% or 100% at checkout; changing the split also changes the Challenge price. The selected split remains linked to that account, and older accounts retain their original conditions.
