Your morning update on futures prop firm rule changes, refreshed overnight.
We track the published rules and policies of 32 futures prop firms and keep every version, so when a firm edits a rule we have the before and after in writing. Most of what changes is really nothing: a fixed typo, a clarified sentence, a word added here and there. But real changes stand out fast, and you can literally watch rules and policies tighten line by line. Payout terms creep, consistency thresholds drop, and prices quietly climb. It works the other way too: sometimes payouts improve and rules loosen, and when that happens it’s usually one of our Premier firms.
Most of the tightening shows up on the Unlisted side, firms we track but haven’t listed on PickAPropFirm.com. When a firm with a rough reputation starts gaining traction on rock-bottom prices, promoted by affiliates who would scam their own grandma for a commission, the discount usually costs you somewhere else, and that somewhere shows up here. If a plan looks too good to be true, it almost always is.
Starred changes are the ones we think deserve your attention; the full feed below is everything we caught, right down to the typo fixes.
Treat this page like your morning paper. It updates overnight, so grab your coffee and see what changed. – Jmu (@jmutrades)
We split that step out and call it the Buffer Zone. It is where you build the balance that carries into your Sim Funded account, and it is deliberately gentler than the evaluation you just passed: a smaller target and no daily loss limit.
Account size | Profit target | Drawdown | Consistency | Largest single day
And if you fail it, you reset the Buffer Zone on its own. Your evaluation still stands — you never go back to the beginning. Resets are $250 each for the first three, then $300 for resets four to six, $350 for seven to nine, and so on. If your Buffer Zone had already passed into Sim Funded, a reset is $500. These are the Propel Buffer Zone reset prices.
Phase 3 — Sim Funded
Your account is still simulated, but the profits are real and you can withdraw them. There is no profit target here — the job is to keep trading well.
Payouts can be requested daily, Monday to Friday, on any balance above your starting balance. Requests made before 11am ET are processed the same trading day. While Sim Funded, stop trading for the day once you are $5,000 up and for the week once you are $10,000 up — passing $10,000 in total profit triggers a review for Live Brokerage, where the caps come off entirely.
Nothing is charged during this phase. Your subscription ended at the evaluation.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,000 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $600 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $600 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,000 + $900 + $900 + $600 = $3,400. Your biggest day of $1,000 is 29.4% of that — inside the 34% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,400 − $600 = $2,800. The same $1,000 day is now 35.7% — outside the same rule. ❌
The 300K works to a 21% rule instead, so the same week would need your profit spread across more days to comply.
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.
Resetting a Propel evaluation
Most traders do not pass first time. A reset clears the days traded, the balance and the rules by creating a fresh evaluation account, so you can try again without buying a new plan.

Both options share the same risk logic. Option 1 uses the trailing drawdown. Option 2 uses the end-of-day drawdown together with a daily loss limit and has no scaling plan.
On both options the drawdown follows the balance upward and then stops for good once it reaches the starting balance plus $100. From that point it is a fixed floor and no longer moves.
On Option 2 the daily loss limit stays active for the whole life of the account and is never lifted. The $25,000 Option 2 account is the exception: it has no daily loss limit.

- Use market data for personal trading only.
- Are not registered with any securities regulatory body (e.g., SEC, FINRA, NFA).

Section: What is MDS (Market Data Subscription) and do I need to set it up?
Market Data Subscription (MDS) provides real-time market prices to your trading platform. GFF covers the cost of market data;you do not pay any additional data fees.
The market data included for free depends on your data feed:
- Tradovate (CQG) — the full CME bundle is included (Top of the Book - L1)
- DxFeed — CME exchange only. If you'd like to add COMEX (for metals) or other exchanges, contact our support team and we will enable it for you manually.
Without an active MDS, your charts may be delayed or certain instruments may not load. If your platform asks you to activate an MDS, select the required exchanges and proceed. If you are being asked to pay for market data that should be included, contact our support team.

- Daily Payouts: the 2 minute buffer applies during the evaluation as well as on the funded account. Daily Payouts is our only evaluation with a news restriction.

Section: What happens if I breach the drawdown or daily loss limit?
It depends which limit you hit.
The daily loss limit is a soft breach
Your open positions are closed and trading is paused for the rest of the trading day. It resumes automatically on the next trading day, and your account is not closed. A daily loss limit applies to EOD funded accounts, to 1-Day-Pass-Plan in both phases, to Instant Classic, to Instant Lite on the 50K and 100K, and to Daily Payouts in both phases. Flex has none.
On Daily Payouts, hitting the daily loss limit three times within a rolling 30 day period is a hard breach and closes the account. The first two hits pause trading for the rest of the day in the normal way. See the Daily Payouts daily loss limit article. Instant Lite also closes the account on a third hit, see the Instant Lite specifications.
The maximum drawdown is a hard breach
If your balance or equity falls to or below your drawdown floor, the account is closed immediately. This applies in both the evaluation and funded phases, on every plan.
Can a breached account be reset?
A breached evaluation account can be reset up to twice, including on Daily Payouts. A breached Instant Classic or Instant Lite account cannot be reset. Funded account resets are available on EOD 50K and 100K accounts only, before your first payout, and are not available on Daily Payouts.

The maximum drawdown is a hard breach
If your balance or equity falls to or below your drawdown floor, the account is closed immediately. This applies in both the evaluation and funded phases, on every plan.
Can a breached account be reset?
A breached evaluation account can be reset up to twice, including on Daily Payouts. A breached Instant Classic or Instant Lite account cannot be reset. Funded account resets are available on EOD 50K and 100K accounts only, before your first payout, and are not available on Daily Payouts.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · What does "drawdown lock" or "DD Lock" mean? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle structure added with navigation elements, lock point definition clarified, and related articles section added.Oct 7
Section: What does "drawdown lock" or "DD Lock" mean?
Important for Funded Accounts
The drawdown continues to trail normally as your account reaches new equity highs until it reaches your account's initial starting balance. Once it reaches the starting balance, it locks permanently and will not trail any higher.
On Daily Payouts and Instant Lite the lock point is your starting balance plus $100, not your starting balance. On a Daily 50K the limit locks at $50,100 once your equity reaches $52,100.
Requesting or receiving a payout does not automatically move or lock your drawdown at the starting balance. Your drawdown remains wherever it was before the payout.
Example
On a $50,000 funded account:
- Current account balance: $51,000
- Current drawdown floor: $49,000
If you request a $1,000 payout, your account balance becomes $50,000, but your drawdown floor remains at $49,000 because it had not yet reached the starting balance before the payout.
This means you now have $1,000 of remaining drawdown room.
Only after the drawdown naturally reaches your account's initial starting balance does it lock permanently.
Once the drawdown has locked, it will remain there even after future payouts. If your balance later falls below that level, the account will be breached.
Does requesting a payout lock my drawdown at the starting balance?
No. Requesting or receiving a payout does not change the position of your drawdown floor.
The drawdown continues to trail according to your account rules until it naturally reaches your lock point. Only then does it lock permanently.
If the drawdown has not yet reached the lock point before the payout, it will remain at its current level after the payout.

Section: How does intraday trailing drawdown work?
The Maximum Trailing Intraday Drawdown sets the lowest equity level your account is allowed to reach at any point during a trading session, including on open positions. It trails your highest equity point in real time, meaning as your account reaches new equity highs, the drawdown floor automatically moves up by the same amount. It never moves back down.
Two plans use intraday trailing: Instant Classic, and Daily Payouts funded accounts. EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex, Instant Lite and the Daily Payouts evaluation all use end of day trailing, where the floor is calculated from your closing balance and only updates after the trading day ends.
This is important to understand: the drawdown floor tracks your highest equity, not your closing balance. Even if you give back profits before closing a trade, the floor will have already moved up.
Once the drawdown floor reaches its lock point, it stays there permanently and stops trailing. On Instant Classic the lock point is your initial starting balance. On Daily Payouts it is your starting balance plus $100.
Example (Instant Classic 50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
- Your account starts at $50,000, so the max drawdown floor is set at $48,000.
- Your equity rises to $51,000 during a trade, so the floor moves up to $49,000.
- If your equity drops to $49,000 at any point, the account is breached, even if the trade has not been closed.
- Your equity continues climbing to $52,000, so the floor moves to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
- Even if your equity later reaches $55,000, the floor stays at $50,000.
On a funded Daily 50K the same mechanics apply, but the floor locks at $50,100 once your equity reaches $52,100. See the Daily Payouts drawdown article.
Important note for funded accounts: once the drawdown floor locks, your account has very little cushion below that level. For example, if you have grown your Instant Classic 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000 in profits, your balance returns to $50,000, which is exactly where the floor is locked. At that point any drop in equity at all will breach the account. Always keep a buffer in your account when making withdrawals.

Section: What is the difference between EOD trailing and intraday trailing drawdown?
The key difference is when the drawdown floor updates.
EOD trailing drawdown
Used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Lite accounts, and on Daily Payouts during the evaluation.
The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance. Intraday equity swings do not affect your drawdown level.
For example, if your account peaks at $52,000 during the session but closes at $50,500, the drawdown floor adjusts based on $50,500 only.
Intraday trailing drawdown
Used on Instant Classic accounts and on Daily Payouts funded accounts.
The drawdown floor updates in real time as your equity reaches new highs, including unrealised profits on open positions. If your equity hits $52,000 even momentarily, the drawdown floor adjusts immediately and never moves back down.
Daily Payouts uses both
The evaluation runs end of day trailing, and the funded account switches to intraday trailing on your highest equity. See the Daily Payouts drawdown article for what changes when you get funded.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · What is a trailing drawdown? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle added with sections on trailing drawdown definition, lock point specifications for different account types, and related articles.Oct 7
A trailing drawdown is a loss level that moves upward as your account reaches new highs, but never moves back down. Think of it as a rising floor beneath your account. It follows your profits up but stays put when you give back. If your account equity falls to or below this level, the account is breached.
Once the drawdown floor reaches its lock point, it stays there permanently and stops trailing. This applies to all account types, both challenges and funded accounts. On most plans the lock point is your initial starting balance. On Daily Payouts and Instant Lite it is your starting balance plus $100.
There are two types of trailing drawdown at GOAT Funded Futures.
1. Trailing EOD (end of day)
Used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Lite accounts, and on Daily Payouts during the evaluation. The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
- You start at $50,000, so your floor is $48,000.
- You close the day at $51,500, so your floor moves up to $49,500.
- During the next day your equity dips to $49,200 intraday but you close at $50,800. No breach, because the floor is based on your end of day balance, not intraday equity.
- Over time, your closing balances push the floor up to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
2. Trailing intraday
Used on Instant Classic accounts and on Daily Payouts funded accounts. The drawdown floor updates in real time, tracking your highest equity point during the session, including unrealised profits on open positions.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
- You start at $50,000, so your floor is $48,000.
- Your equity reaches $51,500 during a trade, so your floor moves up to $49,500 immediately.
- If your equity drops to $49,500 at any point, even before closing the trade, the account is breached.
- Your equity continues climbing to $52,000, so the floor moves to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
Daily Payouts uses both
The evaluation runs end of day trailing and the funded account switches to intraday trailing. See the Daily Payouts drawdown article.
Important note for funded accounts
Once the drawdown floor locks, your account has very little cushion below that level. For example, if you have grown your 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000 in profits, your balance returns to $50,000, which is exactly where the floor is locked. At that point any drop in equity at all will breach the account. Always keep a buffer in your account when making withdrawals.

- During the next day your equity dips to $49,200 intraday but you close at $50,800. No breach, because the floor is based on your end of day balance, not intraday equity.
- Over time, your closing balances push the floor up to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
2. Trailing intraday
Used on Instant Classic accounts and on Daily Payouts funded accounts. The drawdown floor updates in real time, tracking your highest equity point during the session, including unrealised profits on open positions.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
- You start at $50,000, so your floor is $48,000.
- Your equity reaches $51,500 during a trade, so your floor moves up to $49,500 immediately.
- If your equity drops to $49,500 at any point, even before closing the trade, the account is breached.
- Your equity continues climbing to $52,000, so the floor moves to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.
Daily Payouts uses both
The evaluation runs end of day trailing and the funded account switches to intraday trailing. See the Daily Payouts drawdown article.
Important note for funded accounts
Once the drawdown floor locks, your account has very little cushion below that level. For example, if you have grown your 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000 in profits, your balance returns to $50,000, which is exactly where the floor is locked. At that point any drop in equity at all will breach the account. Always keep a buffer in your account when making withdrawals.

+ What is a trailing drawdown?
+ Updated 8 September 2026
A trailing drawdown is a loss level that moves upward as your account reaches new highs, but never moves back down. Think of it as a rising floor beneath your account. It follows your profits up but stays put when you give back. If your account equity falls to or below this level, the account is breached.
Once the drawdown floor reaches its lock point, it stays there permanently and stops trailing. This applies to all account types, both challenges and funded accounts. On most plans the lock point is your initial starting balance. On Daily Payouts and Instant Lite it is your starting balance plus $100.
There are two types of trailing drawdown at GOAT Funded Futures.
1. Trailing EOD (end of day)
Used on EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Flex and Instant Lite accounts, and on Daily Payouts during the evaluation. The drawdown floor only updates at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance.
Example (50K account, $2,000 max drawdown):
- You start at $50,000, so your floor is $48,000.
- You close the day at $51,500, so your floor moves up to $49,500.
- During the next day your equity dips to $49,200 intraday but you close at $50,800. No breach, because the floor is based on your end of day balance, not intraday equity.
- Over time, your closing balances push the floor up to $50,000, your initial starting balance. The floor is now locked and will not trail any further.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · Do I need KYC verification for payouts? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle structure added with help center navigation, category tags, related article links, and updated timestamp to 8 September 2026.Oct 7
Yes, KYC verification is required, but the timing depends on your account type:
- EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Flex Challenge — KYC must be completed before your account is upgraded to the funded stage.
- Instant Classic — you can buy and trade the account without KYC. You need to complete it once you become eligible for your first payout.
- Daily Payouts — KYC must be completed before your first payout.
On Daily Payouts you can request a payout every 24 hours, so verification is the step most likely to hold up an early request. Start it as soon as your funded account is activated rather than waiting until you want the money.
Challenge accounts: upon passing your Challenge and getting your review approved, you will instantly receive your KYC link via email. To complete your KYC you will need:
- A government-issued photo ID (passport, driver's license, or national ID)
- Proof of address dated within the last 3 months (utility bill, bank statement, or similar document)
We recommend completing KYC early to avoid any delays when it's time to get funded or request a payout.

Section: What are the payout caps and minimum payout amounts?
A payout cap is the maximum amount you can request during one payout cycle. The cap depends on your account type, account size and, for some plans, how many approved payouts you have already received.
Minimum payout amount
The minimum payout request across all GFF account types is $500.
This applies to EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic, Flex and Daily Payouts accounts. If your eligible payout amount is below $500, keep trading until you reach the minimum and meet the other payout requirements.
EOD funded accounts
You may request up to 50% of your available profit, subject to the cap for your account size and payout number. The remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer for future payout cycles.
Payout | 50K | 100K | 150K
1st | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500
2nd | $2,000 | $2,750 | $3,250
3rd | $2,500 | $3,250 | $3,750
4th and later | $2,750 | $3,750 | $4,250
1-Day-Pass-Plan funded accounts
150K | $4,600 | $154,600 | $2,500
Two further conditions apply to every Daily Payouts request:
- At least 50% of the amount requested must be profit made since your last approved payout, so you can request up to twice your new profit.
- At least 50% of your net profit since your last payout must come from trades held longer than 60 seconds.
Profit above the maximum stays in the account and supports your equity going into the next request. Requesting a payout does not move or lock your drawdown limit. See how the 24 hour payout cycle works.
How do the minimum and cap work together?
- If your eligible payout is below $500, you cannot submit a payout request yet.
- If your eligible payout is between $500 and your applicable cap, you may request the eligible amount.
- If your eligible payout exceeds the cap, the maximum you may request is the applicable cap.
You must also meet any winning day, consistency, recurring-payout and KYC requirements that apply to your account type. Daily Payouts has no winning day requirement and no consistency rule on the funded account.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · How does the consistency rule affect payouts? | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesArticle expanded with navigation elements, related articles list, and update date added.Oct 7
Section: How does the consistency rule affect payouts?
The consistency rule ensures that your profits are distributed across multiple trading days rather than depending on one unusually large winning day.
It measures how much of your total profit for the current evaluation or payout cycle came from your most profitable trading day.
How is consistency calculated?
Use the following calculation:
Highest-profit day ÷ total profit for the cycle × 100
Your highest-profit day must not be more than the consistency threshold for your account type. Landing exactly on the threshold is allowed.
Consistency thresholds by account type
Account type | Evaluation | Funded
EOD Challenge | 50% | 30%
1-Day-Pass-Plan | No consistency rule | 35%
Instant Classic | Not applicable | 20%
Flex Challenge | 50% | No consistency percentage
The EOD funded consistency threshold is 30%, so you are not yet eligible to request a payout.
If you continue trading until your total profit reaches $4,000, the calculation becomes:
$1,200 ÷ $4,000 × 100 = 30%
You are now within the consistency threshold, provided you have met the other payout requirements.
What happens if I exceed the consistency threshold?
You are not disqualified, and exceeding the threshold does not close your account.
You simply cannot request a payout while your highest-profit day is above the applicable threshold. Continue trading and accumulating profit on other days until the highest-profit day represents no more than the allowed percentage of your total profit.
The consistency rule is checked when you request a payout, not continuously while you trade. This gives you the opportunity to bring your account back within the threshold before submitting your request.
Does Flex have a funded consistency rule?
Flex funded accounts do not have a numerical consistency percentage. However, all trading must still comply with GFF trading rules and must reflect genuine trading activity. Having no funded consistency percentage does not override prohibited-strategy or anti-gaming rules.
Does Daily Payouts have a funded consistency rule?
No. Daily Payouts has no consistency rule on the funded account, so it places no limit on your payouts. The 40% consistency rule applies during the evaluation only, and in practice it means spreading your profit across at least three trading days.

+ Updated 8 September 2026
The consistency rule ensures that your profits are distributed across multiple trading days rather than depending on one unusually large winning day.
It measures how much of your total profit for the current evaluation or payout cycle came from your most profitable trading day.
How is consistency calculated?
Use the following calculation:
Highest-profit day ÷ total profit for the cycle × 100
Your highest-profit day must not be more than the consistency threshold for your account type. Landing exactly on the threshold is allowed.
Consistency thresholds by account type
Account type | Evaluation | Funded
EOD Challenge | 50% | 30%
1-Day-Pass-Plan | No consistency rule | 35%
Instant Classic | Not applicable | 20%
Flex Challenge | 50% | No consistency percentage
The EOD funded consistency threshold is 30%, so you are not yet eligible to request a payout.
If you continue trading until your total profit reaches $4,000, the calculation becomes:
$1,200 ÷ $4,000 × 100 = 30%
You are now within the consistency threshold, provided you have met the other payout requirements.
What happens if I exceed the consistency threshold?
You are not disqualified, and exceeding the threshold does not close your account.
You simply cannot request a payout while your highest-profit day is above the applicable threshold. Continue trading and accumulating profit on other days until the highest-profit day represents no more than the allowed percentage of your total profit.

Section: Payout requirements: winning days, first payout and request windows
The requirements before a payout request depend on your account type. Most GFF plans use winning days and monthly request windows. Daily Payouts uses neither, and instead lets you request every 24 hours.
Requirements by account type
Account type | Winning days required | Minimum profit for a winning day | Additional first-payout requirement
EOD Funded | 7 | 0.2% of the starting balance | None
1-Day-Pass-Plan Funded | 5 | 0.2% of the starting balance | None
Flex Funded | 5 | Depends on the account size | None
Instant Classic | 7 | 0.2% of the starting balance | At least 10 calendar days after your first trade and 7% account growth
Daily Payouts Funded | None | Not applicable | First request available 24 hours after your first funded trade
What counts as a winning day?
A winning day is a trading day where your net P&L, after commissions and fees, reaches the minimum required amount.
For EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant Classic accounts, the requirement is at least 0.2% of the account's starting balance.
For example, a winning day on a 50K account requires at least $100 in net profit.
- 20th to 23rd of each month
If you become eligible outside a payout window, wait until the next window opens.
Daily Payouts.
There are no payout windows. You can submit your first request 24 hours after you place your first trade on the funded account, and one request every 24 hours after that, on any day of the month.
Before submitting your request
Make sure that:
- You have completed the required winning days.
- You meet any consistency rule that applies to your account.
- You meet the minimum payout amount and applicable payout cap.
- You satisfy any recurring-payout requirements.
- Your KYC verification is complete when required.
On Daily Payouts, check instead that at least 24 hours have passed since your last request, that your balance is above the profit buffer for your size, that at least half of what you are requesting is profit made since your last payout, and that your KYC is complete.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · Instant Classic: specifications, rules and payouts | Goat Funded Futures FAQupdatedFuturesInstant Classic account prices reduced by 50% across all sizes; article reorganized with pricing table moved and reset policy section repositioned.Oct 7
− Profit target for first payout | $1,750 (7%) | $3,500 (7%) | $7,000 (7%) | $10,500 (7%)
− Activation fee | $0 | $0 | $0 | $0
− Resets | Not available | Not available | Not available | Not available
The 7% target is the minimum balance growth required before your first payout, alongside the standard payout requirements below. It is not a pass or fail evaluation target, since your account is already funded from day one.
You can hold up to 3 Instant Classic funded accounts.
Section: Can I reset an Instant Classic account?
− Can I reset an Instant Classic account?
− No. Instant Classic accounts have no reset option. If the account is breached it is closed, and you would need to purchase a new Instant Classic account to continue trading.
Maximum drawdown (intraday trailing)
Your maximum drawdown is the lowest level your equity may reach at any point during a session, including on open positions. It trails your highest equity point in real time, and it never moves back down. Once it reaches your initial starting balance it locks there permanently and stops trailing.
Breaching it is a hard breach and closes the account.
Account size | Max drawdown
25K | $1,250 (5%)
50K | $2,500 (5%)
100K | $5,000 (5%)
150K | $7,500 (5%)
Important when you withdraw. Once the floor has locked at your starting balance, there is no cushion beneath it. If you grow a 50K account to $54,000 and withdraw $4,000, your balance returns to $50,000, which is exactly where the floor sits. From that point any drop in equity at all breaches the account. Always leave a buffer in the account when you withdraw.
Daily loss limit
3% of your starting balance. This is a soft breach: if your net losses for the day reach the limit, the account is paused until the next trading day. It is not closed.
Account size | Daily loss limit
- Eligibility: every 7 winning days. A winning day is a net profit of at least 0.2% of your starting balance, so $100 on a 50K.
- First payout: a minimum of 10 calendar days is required, on top of the 7% profit target above.
- After your first payout: you need to surpass your previous equity high, meaning the level it was at before your last withdrawal, before you can request another.
- Request window: payout requests are submitted through your dashboard between the 5th and 8th, or the 20th and 23rd, of each month.
- KYC: you can buy and trade an Instant Classic account without completing KYC. You need to complete it once you become eligible for your first payout.
- Profit split: 100% on your first $10,000 in payouts, then 90%.
- Minimum request: $500, across all account sizes.
Account size | Payout cap per cycle
25K | $1,000
50K | $2,000
100K | $3,000
150K | $4,000
News trading
A 2 minute buffer applies around high impact news events. You cannot open, close, or trigger pending orders within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled release. Positions opened before the window began may be held through the event.
Overnight and weekend holding
- Overnight holding is not permitted. Any position still open is closed automatically at 15:55 CT, five minutes before the session ends.
- Weekend holding is not permitted.
Microscalping
Profit from trades closed within 2 minutes of opening is not eligible. It is deducted from your account balance and from any payout calculation. The trade itself is not a breach.
This applies to Instant Classic accounts. It is separate from the 2 minute news buffer above.
Tick scalping, meaning opening and closing positions within seconds to capture small tick profits, is not permitted on any account. Profit generated this way may be reviewed and deducted.
Inactivity
Place at least one trade every 7 days. If no trades are placed for 7 consecutive days the account is breached and closed, and the fee is not refunded. If you are going to be away, tell support in advance.
Please monitor our website and Discord for announcements about trading parameters, updates, or system changes.

Section: 1-Day-Pass-Plan: specifications, rules and payouts
The 1-Day-Pass-Plan Challenge is a one-phase evaluation built for faster payouts. It uses end of day trailing drawdown, pays 80/20 by default, and has no consistency rule during the evaluation.
Key benefits
- No time limit to pass the evaluation
- No consistency rule during the evaluation, so you can trade with full flexibility
- 80/20 profit split, with an optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an extra 20% of the challenge price
- Payouts every 5 winning days
- Drawdown lock, so the trailing drawdown stops moving once your balance reaches your starting balance
- $0 activation fee, so your funded account is activated at no extra cost
Two resets are available per challenge. You can hold up to 5 funded accounts.
How to pass
- Reach the profit target of 6% of your starting balance.
- Stay within the trading rules and loss limits below.
There is no minimum number of trading days. Once you pass, your evaluation period is reviewed, and your funded account is activated within 2 business days.
Section: What changes when you move from evaluation to funded
Maximum drawdown (end of day trailing)
Your maximum drawdown is the level your account balance cannot fall below. It is calculated from your highest end of day balance, not your intraday equity, and it only updates after the trading day closes.
Breaching it is a hard breach, which closes the account immediately. This applies in both the evaluation and funded phases.
Account size | Max drawdown
25K | $1,000 (4%)
50K | $2,000 (4%)
100K | $3,000 (3%)
Drawdown lock. Once your account balance reaches your starting balance, the trailing drawdown stops moving and locks in place, giving you a fixed safety net for the rest of the account. This applies in both phases.
Daily loss limit
A daily loss limit applies in both the evaluation and the funded phase, at the same percentage in each.
Account size | Daily loss limit
25K | 2.4% ($600)
Payouts
- Eligibility: every 5 winning days. A winning day is a net profit of at least 0.2% of your starting balance, so $100 on a 50K.
- Request window: payout requests are submitted through your dashboard between the 5th and 8th, or the 20th and 23rd, of each month.
- Profit split: 80/20 by default. You can add the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On at checkout for an extra 20% of the challenge price, which is +$15.80 on 25K, +$21.80 on 50K and +$35.80 on 100K.
- Minimum request: $500, across all account sizes.
- Maximum request: 50% of your available profit, capped by account size and payout number. The cap rises as you build a track record.

The remaining 50% of your profit stays in the account and supports your equity into the next payout cycle.
− What changes when you move from evaluation to funded
− Less than you might expect. One rule genuinely changes:
− - The consistency rule starts applying. There is none during the evaluation. On a funded account, no single day may be more than 35% of your total profit for the payout period.
− Everything else carries over unchanged: the end of day trailing drawdown and its lock, your maximum drawdown amount, the daily loss limit and its percentages, contract limits, news trading rules, overnight and weekend holding, and the microscalping rule.
− Payout rules apply from this point too, since there are no payouts during an evaluation: 80/20 by default, payouts every 5 winning days, and 50% of your available profit per request with the rest staying in the account.
− If you bought the 90/10 Profit Share Add-On with your challenge, it carries over automatically. There is nothing to re-purchase. Since there are no payouts during an evaluation, the add-on only affects what you take home once you are funded.
− Why does 1-Day-Pass-Plan cost more than EOD?
− A 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K is $109 against $69 for an EOD 50K. What the extra buys:
− - No consistency rule during the evaluation. EOD applies a 50% rule throughout.
− - Faster payouts. 5 winning days instead of 7.
− - A more forgiving funded consistency rule. 35% on 1-Day-Pass-Plan against 30% on EOD, so a bigger single day is allowed.
− - A 25K entry size, which EOD does not offer.
− Two tradeoffs worth knowing before you choose:
− - 1-Day-Pass-Plan applies a daily loss limit during the evaluation. EOD does not.
− - 1-Day-Pass-Plan tops out at 100K. EOD goes to 150K.
News trading
- Evaluation: no restrictions.
- Funded: a 2 minute buffer applies around high impact news events. You cannot open, close, or trigger pending orders within 2 minutes before or after a scheduled release. Positions opened before the window began may be held through the event.
Overnight and weekend holding
- Overnight holding is not permitted. Any position still open is closed automatically at 15:55 CT, five minutes before the session ends.
- Weekend holding is not permitted.
Microscalping
Profit from trades closed within 2 minutes of opening is not eligible. It is deducted from your account balance and from any payout calculation. The trade itself is not a breach.
This applies to 1-Day-Pass-Plan accounts in both the evaluation and funded phases. It is separate from the 2 minute news buffer above.
Tick scalping, meaning opening and closing positions within seconds to capture small tick profits, is not permitted on any account. Profit generated this way may be reviewed and deducted.
Inactivity
Place at least one trade every 7 days. If no trades are placed for 7 consecutive days the account is breached and closed, and the fee is not refunded. There is no time limit on passing the evaluation, but the account does need to stay active. If you are going to be away, tell support in advance.
Please monitor our website and Discord for announcements about trading parameters, updates, or system changes.

The 1-Day-Pass-Plan Challenge is a one-phase evaluation built for faster payouts. It uses end of day trailing drawdown, pays 80/20 by default, and has no consistency rule during the evaluation.
Key benefits
- No time limit to pass the evaluation
- No consistency rule during the evaluation, so you can trade with full flexibility
- 80/20 profit split, with an optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On for an extra 20% of the challenge price
- Payouts every 5 winning days
- Drawdown lock, so the trailing drawdown stops moving once your balance reaches your starting balance
- $0 activation fee, so your funded account is activated at no extra cost
Two resets are available per challenge. You can hold up to 5 funded accounts.
How to pass
- Reach the profit target of 6% of your starting balance.
- Stay within the trading rules and loss limits below.
There is no minimum number of trading days. Once you pass, your evaluation period is reviewed, and your funded account is activated within 2 business days.

Maximum drawdown (end of day trailing)
Your maximum drawdown is the level your account balance cannot fall below. It is calculated from your highest end of day balance, not your intraday equity, and it only updates after the trading day closes.
Breaching it is a hard breach, which closes the account immediately. This applies in both the evaluation and funded phases.
Account size | Max drawdown
25K | $1,000 (4%)
50K | $2,000 (4%)
100K | $3,000 (3%)
Drawdown lock. Once your account balance reaches your starting balance, the trailing drawdown stops moving and locks in place, giving you a fixed safety net for the rest of the account. This applies in both phases.
Daily loss limit
A daily loss limit applies in both the evaluation and the funded phase, at the same percentage in each.
Account size | Daily loss limit
25K | 2.4% ($600)
Payouts
- Eligibility: every 5 winning days. A winning day is a net profit of at least 0.2% of your starting balance, so $100 on a 50K.
- Request window: payout requests are submitted through your dashboard between the 5th and 8th, or the 20th and 23rd, of each month.
- Profit split: 80/20 by default. You can add the optional 90/10 Profit Share Add-On at checkout for an extra 20% of the challenge price, which is +$15.80 on 25K, +$21.80 on 50K and +$35.80 on 100K.
- Minimum request: $500, across all account sizes.
- Maximum request: 50% of your available profit, capped by account size and payout number. The cap rises as you build a track record.
Payout | 25K | 50K | 100K
1st | $800 | $1,500 | $2,500
2nd | $1,000 | $1,750 | $3,000
3rd | $1,200 | $2,000 | $3,500
4th and later | $1,500 | $2,500 | $4,500
The remaining 50% of your profit stays in the account and supports your equity into the next payout cycle.

Section: Can I upgrade or switch from one plan to another?
Plans cannot be converted or upgraded after purchase. Each account type is a separate product with its own rules and drawdown mechanics. If you'd like to try a different plan, you would need to purchase a new account.
This includes moving between Flex and Daily Payouts. You can hold both at the same time, since account limits are counted separately for each product type. If you are weighing the two up, see Daily Payouts or Flex Challenge: which should I choose?
