The Trading Pit 4.6 The Trading Pit: News and updates
The Trading Pit Launches "Instant Earning Account": Direct Funding Without Evaluation Phase
The Trading Pit has officially announced the launch of the Instant Earning Account, a new CFD product designed to allow traders to operate with firm capital from day one. This model completely eliminates the evaluation or "challenge" phase, providing immediate access to generated earnings. Account Sizes and Pricing The firm offers three specific account sizes under this model, all featuring an 80% Profit Split: $5,000 Account: One-time fee of $139. $10,000 Account: One-time fee of $279. $20,000 Account: One-time fee of $549. Risk Management and Drawdown Since there is no profit target to access funding, trading is strictly governed by loss limits: Daily Drawdown: 3% ($150, $300, or $600 depending on the account). Maximum Drawdown: 6% (Trailing). This limit moves up as profits are made but stops permanently once it reaches the initial account balance. Risk per Symbol: The combined risk of all open positions on the same asset cannot exceed 1% of the initial balance. Trading Rules Traders must complete a minimum of 5 trading days and adhere to a 30% consistency rule, meaning the most profitable day cannot account for more than 30% of total earnings when requesting a withdrawal. There is a maximum limit of 2 accounts per trader for this specific product. Regarding weekend trading, positions can remain open for most instruments, except for gold, oil, and cryptocurrencies, which must be closed before the weekly market close. Withdrawal Conditions Payouts can be requested every 14 days and are processed within 24 business hours. The minimum withdrawal amount is $200. The maximum withdrawal limit is set at the lower of $2,500 or 50% of the total realized profit. From the second withdrawal onwards, it is only necessary to have generated any profit above zero since the previous request to be eligible for a payout.

The Trading Pit Updates Its Futures Payout Policy
The Trading Pit has announced an update to its payout policy for Futures Earning Phase accounts. These changes, applicable to futures accounts created on or after March 6, 2026 (inclusive), aim to promote consistent performance, provide predictable withdrawal amounts, and reduce the risk of account breaches. Key Benefits of the Updated Policy: Clear Withdrawal Limits: Traders will now know the exact maximum safe amount to withdraw without risking a breach of the trailing maximum loss rule. Protection Against Automatic Breaches: The policy prevents full profit withdrawals from triggering a breach by maintaining a sufficient capital buffer in the account. Improved Risk Management: Retaining at least 50% of generated profits in the account encourages more careful risk management and longer account survival. Multi-Account Scaling: With up to five allowed accounts and copy trading, traders can target up to $25,000 in first-payout profits across their accounts. Updated Futures Earning Phase Payout Rules: First Payout: Maximum: The lower of $5,000 USD or 50% of your total realized profit. Eligibility: 5 winning trading days (not necessarily consecutive), each with at least $200 profit. Second and Subsequent Payouts: Requirement: Must show profit > $0 since the most recent payout request. Eligibility: 5 winning trading days (not necessarily consecutive), each with at least $200 profit. Maximum per Payout: The lower of $5,000 USD or 50% of profits generated since the last payout. The profit split remains 80% for the trader, and the trailing maximum loss rule continues unchanged, trailing the end-of-day balance until it locks at the original starting balance.
The Trading Pit to Remove Daily Pause for New Futures Accounts
The Trading Pit announced a significant update for its futures traders: the Daily Pause rule will be removed for all Futures accounts created on or after March 6, 2026. This change applies to both Challenge and Earning accounts. This update is designed to offer traders greater freedom, flexibility, and control over their trading activities. It eliminates interruptions caused by a fixed daily rule, better supporting various trading styles, including scalping, swing trading, and news trading. Traders will gain more control over their risk management, allowing decisions to be based purely on market conditions and personal strategies, rather than an imposed pause. This also moves the trading environment closer to real-market futures trading. While the Daily Pause is being lifted, the Maximum Drawdown rule will continue to apply. This initiative underscores The Trading Pit's ongoing commitment to building a trader-first prop firm, ensuring rules are designed to empower traders.
The Trading Pit Launches New $50,000 Stocks Challenge
