Futures Prop Firm Rule Changes. Tracked Daily.
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
25K | $1,500 | $1,200 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $510 (34% of target)
50K | $3,000 | $2,000 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target)
100K | $3,500 | $2,500 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,190 (34% of target)
150K | $2,000 | $-1,000 Static | 34% | $680 (34% of target)
200K | $3,000 | $-2,000 Static | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target)
300K | $3,500 | $-2,500 Static | 21% | $735 (21% of target)
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.
Account size | Starting balance | Minimum balance | Payout minimum | 7-day payout cap
Section: Phase 3 — Sim Funded
− 25K | $1,500 | $100 | $250 | $1,500
− 50K | $3,000 | $100 | $250 | $2,500
− 100K | $3,500 | $100 | $250 | $3,000
− 150K | $2,000 | $100 | $250 | $1,500
− 200K | $3,000 | $100 | $250 | $2,500
− 300K | $3,500 | $100 | $250 | $3,000
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.

1 mini = 10 micros.
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.

What is the Path to Live?
Section: What is the Path to Live?
− Updated 17 August 2026
The Path to Live is how GFF rewards its most consistent traders with the next step in their journey: a live brokerage account, trading real capital that we provide. Once you qualify, your simulated funded account becomes a live account, you trade with real GFF capital, and you keep 90% of every withdrawal — with the freedom to request payouts daily and no per-payout caps. It is the opportunity to turn proven sim performance into a long-term partnership trading live.
Who is the Path to Live for?
Section: Who is the Path to Live for?
− Every GFF trader. The opportunity is open across every product — EOD Challenge, 1-Day-Pass-Plan, Instant Classic, and Flex Challenge — and every account size. There is nothing extra to buy and nothing to sign up for: your place is earned purely through your trading on the sim funded account you already hold.
Why does GFF offer this?
Because we want to grow alongside the traders who prove they have a genuine edge. The Path to Live is how GFF backs its best performers with real capital on a live brokerage account — the structure used by the most established firms in the industry — and builds a lasting partnership rather than a one-off relationship. For you, that means trading real GFF capital, daily uncapped payouts, and a clear runway to scale your results over time.
Section: Is live trading open?
− When does live trading launch?
− We are in the final stages of launching our live broker accounts, with the live environment expected to go live in Summer 2026 — so this is the perfect time to be building toward qualification.
− What if I qualify before the live environment is ready?
− Qualifying early is great news — it means you have already proven the consistency we are looking for, and your live account is being reserved for you. With the live environment launching imminently, the next step is getting you onto live capital rather than keeping you in the simulator.
− If the risk team approves you for transition before the live environment opens, your sim accounts are held while your live account is prepared, so your transition is ready to go the moment we launch. During this short window, trading activity with GFF is paused across your accounts while we finalise your live setup.
− As soon as the live environment is live, you will be transitioned and trading real GFF capital — with daily uncapped payouts and a 90% profit share waiting on the other side. You have earned your place; this simply makes sure you start where the real opportunity is.

+ Is live trading open?
+ Yes. GFF live accounts are open and the first traders are already trading real GFF capital. There is no launch date to wait for. Transition is decided by the risk team's review of your trading, so the best thing you can do is keep building a consistent track record on your sim funded account.
+ What happens between approval and activation?
+ Once the risk team approves you, we email you directly with the size and structure of your live account, the Live Funded Trader Agreement, any remaining KYC, and the onboarding steps for the live platform.
+ While your live account is being set up, your eligible sim accounts are held and trading on them is paused. This keeps the transition clean: your sim track record is locked in and nothing changes on it while the live account opens.
+ As soon as your live account is active, you are trading real GFF capital with daily uncapped payouts and a 90% profit share.

Why do you have a minimum holding time rule?
Updated 8 September 2026
The minimum hold time is in place at GFF to ensure our evaluation reflects realistic trading conditions. During high-volatility periods, ultra-short trades on larger contract sizes can capture moves that wouldn't realistically be executable in a live funded environment due to slippage, partial fills, and liquidity constraints. The rule keeps the challenge aligned with what you'd actually experience when trading real capital.
The length differs by plan. EOD, 1-Day-Pass-Plan and Instant Classic use a 2 minute microscalping deduction. Flex uses a 1 minute rule checked at payout. Daily Payouts uses a 60 second rule checked at payout.
See holding time rules on each plan for how each one works.

GUnlistedGoat Funded Futures · Can I use a VPS? | Goat Funded Futures FAQRemoved one related article about prohibited strategies and replaced another with multi-account and restrictions content.Oct 9

Before
- Remote desktop connections (RDP, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Parsec) into any machine that is not physically yours
- Cloud PC services (e.g. Windows 365, Shadow PC)
If your platform is running on hardware you cannot physically touch, it falls under this policy.
Why does GFF prohibit VPS usage?
VPS and remote server access undermine the integrity of our program in several ways:
- Account sharing and copy trading. Remote servers make it trivial for multiple people to access the same account, or for one operator to run coordinated strategies across many accounts — both of which are prohibited under our Terms & Conditions.
- Automation abuse. VPS environments are commonly used to run unattended automated systems 24/7, which conflicts with our requirement that you personally place and manage your trades.
- Identity and location masking. Datacenter IPs obscure who is actually trading and from where, which prevents us from meeting our compliance obligations, including restricted-country checks.

Before contacting support, please check the following:
- Log into your dashboard and compare your account equity against the drawdown limit. If your equity is at or below the drawdown level, the breach is correct.
- Check whether you had any open positions with unrealized losses that may have pushed your equity below the limit. Drawdown calculations include unrealized P&L, commissions, and fees.
- Check whether your account has been inactive for more than 7 consecutive days, as this will also trigger a breach.
If after reviewing the above you still believe the breach was made in error, contact support with your account ID and a description of what happened.

- Confirm that you're connecting to the simulation environment, not live.
- Try resetting your password through the Tradovate platform.

I'm having trouble logging into Tradovate. What should I do?
Updated 28 July 2026
Here are a few common things to check:
- Make sure you're using the credentials we sent you, not your personal Tradovate account. GFF accounts use separate sim credentials.
- Confirm that you're connecting to the simulation environment, not live.
- Try resetting your password through the Tradovate platform.
- If using the web version, clear your browser cache and try again.
If none of the above resolves the issue, contact our support team on with your account ID.

Section: Is there a daily loss limit?
− Updated 8 September 2026
This depends on your account type.
EOD Challenge
- Evaluation: none.
- Funded: 2.5% of your starting balance, so $1,250 on a 50K, $2,500 on a 100K, $3,750 on a 150K.
1-Day-Pass-Plan
A daily loss limit applies in both phases, at the same percentage in each.
- 25K: 2.4%, which is $600
- 50K: 2%, which is $1,000
Section: 1-Day-Pass-Plan
− - 100K: 2%, which is $2,000
Instant Classic
3% of your starting balance, so $750 on a 25K, $1,500 on a 50K, $3,000 on a 100K, $4,500 on a 150K.
Instant Lite
- 25K: none
- 50K: 2%, which is $1,000
- 100K: 2%, which is $2,000
Flex Challenge
None, in either phase.
Daily Payouts

- 25K: 2%, which is $500
- 50K: 2%, which is $1,000
- 150K: 1.5%, which is $2,250
What happens when you reach it
On every plan, hitting the daily loss limit is a soft breach, not a hard one. Your open positions are closed and the account is paused for the rest of the trading day. It resumes automatically on the next trading day, and the account is not closed.
Daily Payouts has one extra rule
If you hit the daily loss limit three times within any rolling 30 day period, the third hit is treated as a hard breach and your account is closed. See the Daily Payouts daily loss limit article for how the rolling window works and where to see your count.
Instant Lite also closes the account on a third hit. See the Instant Lite specifications for details.
For the exact figure on your account, check your dashboard.

1-Day-Pass-Plan: specifications, rules and payouts
Everything for 1-Day-Pass-Plan 25K, 50K and 100K: profit target, trailing drawdown with lock, daily loss limits, the profit split, payouts, and what changes once you are funded.
Values by account size: 1-Day-Pass-Plan 25K / 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K / 1-Day-Pass-Plan 100K
- Price: $79 (from $158) / $109 (from $218) / $179 (from $358)
- Profit target: $1,500 (6%) / $3,000 (6%) / $6,000 (6%)
- Reset price: $69 / $99 / $159
- Activation fee: $0 / $0 / $0
- Time limit: None / None / None
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
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)
50K | 2% ($1,000)
Section: Daily loss limit
− 100K | 2% ($2,000)
This is a soft pause, not a breach. If you reach it, trading is paused for the rest of the trading day and resumes automatically the next trading day, as long as no other rule has been broken. Your account is not closed.
Contract limits
The same limits apply in evaluation and funded. They are fixed for the life of the account.
Account size | Max contracts
25K | 1 mini / 10 micro
50K | 3 mini / 30 micro
100K | 6 mini / 60 micro
Consistency rule
- Evaluation: none. Trade however you like.
- Funded: no single trading day may account for more than 35% of your total profit during a payout period.
Example on a 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K. You make $1,750 in one trading day on your funded account. Your total profit for that period needs to reach at least $5,000 before you can request a payout, which puts your best day at 35% of the total.
If you go over the threshold: your account is not terminated. You simply cannot request a payout until your highest profit day falls back to the threshold or below. Keep trading and building profit until it does, then you are eligible again.
- 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.

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
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)
50K | 2% ($1,000)
Section: Daily loss limit
− 100K | 2% ($2,000)
+ 100K | 1.5% ($1,500)
This is a soft pause, not a breach. If you reach it, trading is paused for the rest of the trading day and resumes automatically the next trading day, as long as no other rule has been broken. Your account is not closed.
Contract limits
The same limits apply in evaluation and funded. They are fixed for the life of the account.
Account size | Max contracts
25K | 1 mini / 10 micro
50K | 3 mini / 30 micro
100K | 6 mini / 60 micro
Consistency rule
- Evaluation: none. Trade however you like.
- Funded: no single trading day may account for more than 35% of your total profit during a payout period.
Example on a 1-Day-Pass-Plan 50K. You make $1,750 in one trading day on your funded account. Your total profit for that period needs to reach at least $5,000 before you can request a payout, which puts your best day at 35% of the total.
If you go over the threshold: your account is not terminated. You simply cannot request a payout until your highest profit day falls back to the threshold or below. Keep trading and building profit until it does, then you are eligible again.
- 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.

TUnlistedTraders Launch · FAQ - Traders LaunchRestricted countries list expanded from 11 to 21 countries; 40% profit rule changed to 50% for TL Early Access static plans during evaluation.Oct 9
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Traders Launch is a funded trading program. You pay a one-time evaluation fee to access a simulated account. Hit your profit target within the time limit and you move toward a Simfunded account (on Premium plans, after clearing a short buffer stage and completing contract signing and KYC), where you can trade and request real payouts from your profits. No subscription, no recurring fees - just one upfront cost.
Who is Traders Launch for?
Traders Launch is for people who already know how to trade futures. You need to understand risk management and how to use a trading platform. We don't teach you to trade - we fund you once you prove you can.
How much does it cost to get started?
You pay a one-time evaluation fee ranging from $49 to $599 depending on account size, session, and profit-split plan. If you haven't passed by day 60 but you're above 50% of your profit target, you automatically get a free 30-day extension - no extra charge. There's no subscription and no recurring billing.
Are there any activation fees or hidden costs?
None. You pay the evaluation fee once. No activation fee when you pass, no recurring charge once you're Simfunded, no hidden costs at any stage. The one-time evaluation purchase is all you pay.
Are there any restricted countries?
Section: Are there any restricted countries?
− Yes. Traders Launch does not accept traders from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Sudan, South Sudan, or Venezuela. See our Terms for the authoritative current list.
What are the profit targets?
For our standard 60% and 80% accounts: 100K: $2,000; 200K: $4,000; 300K: $6,000. Legacy NYC targets: 100K: $2,000; 200K: $3,000; 300K: $5,000. You need to hit this target while staying above your drawdown floor.
Is there a maximum time limit to pass?
The evaluation window is 60 days. If you haven't passed by day 60 but you're above 50% of your profit target, you automatically get a free 30-day extension at no extra cost. Simfunded accounts have no time limit once you're funded.
Is there a minimum number of trading days?
Yes - 3 minimum trading days during the evaluation. You can't pass on a single day even if you hit the profit target. Simfunded accounts have no minimum trading days before requesting a payout.
How does the drawdown work?
Traders Launch uses End of Day (EOD) drawdown - not intraday trailing. Your drawdown level is calculated from your closing balance each session. It only moves up, never down. Once your account grows enough that the drawdown floor would reach your starting balance, it locks there permanently. Drawdown amounts: standard 60% and 80% accounts: 100K: $1,000; 200K: $2,000; 300K: $3,000. Legacy NYC accounts: 100K: $1,000; 200K: $1,000; 300K: $2,000. We do not use intraday trailing drawdown, which we consider predatory.
What is the 40% rule?
Section: What is the 40% rule?
− During the evaluation, no single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total profits at evaluation end. If you're about to hit that limit, the system auto-closes your positions and locks you out for the rest of that session. This prevents a single lucky day from carrying the whole evaluation. The 40% rule does not apply in your Simfunded account.
Are there inactivity rules?
Yes. During evaluation and in your Simfunded account, you must place at least 1 trade per week. During evaluation: missing a week deactivates your account. In your Simfunded account: missing a week pauses it - you remain eligible for profits and payouts but need to reactivate.
What are the contract limits?
Standard 60% and 80% starting sizes: 100K = 2 minis or 20 micros; 200K = 4 minis or 40 micros; 300K = 6 minis or 60 micros. Legacy NYC starting sizes: 100K = 5 micros; 200K = 1 mini or 10 micros; 300K = 2 minis or 20 micros. Maximum across all account sizes: 15 minis (or equivalent in micros).
What is the commission per contract?
$0.50 per side - not round trip. You pay $0.50 when you open a position and $0.50 when you close it, so a full round-trip trade costs $1.00 per contract in commissions.
Are there restrictions on hedging?
Hedging is not permitted. This includes hedging the same instrument across multiple accounts, such as being long NQ in one account and short NQ in another; hedging through correlated instruments, such as being long NQ and short ES; and coordinating with another trader or group of traders to create offsetting positions across separate accounts. This rule applies whether the accounts belong to the same trader or to different traders acting together.

What are the profit targets?
For our standard 60% and 80% accounts: 100K: $2,000; 200K: $4,000; 300K: $6,000. Legacy NYC targets: 100K: $2,000; 200K: $3,000; 300K: $5,000. You need to hit this target while staying above your drawdown floor.
Is there a maximum time limit to pass?
The evaluation window is 60 days. If you haven't passed by day 60 but you're above 50% of your profit target, you automatically get a free 30-day extension at no extra cost. Simfunded accounts have no time limit once you're funded.
Is there a minimum number of trading days?
Yes - 3 minimum trading days during the evaluation. You can't pass on a single day even if you hit the profit target. Simfunded accounts have no minimum trading days before requesting a payout.
How does the drawdown work?
Traders Launch uses End of Day (EOD) drawdown - not intraday trailing. Your drawdown level is calculated from your closing balance each session. It only moves up, never down. Once your account grows enough that the drawdown floor would reach your starting balance, it locks there permanently. Drawdown amounts: standard 60% and 80% accounts: 100K: $1,000; 200K: $2,000; 300K: $3,000. Legacy NYC accounts: 100K: $1,000; 200K: $1,000; 300K: $2,000. We do not use intraday trailing drawdown, which we consider predatory.
What is the 40% rule?
Section: What is the 40% rule?
+ During the evaluation, no single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total profits at evaluation end. If you're about to hit that limit, the system auto-closes your positions and locks you out for the rest of that session. This prevents a single lucky day from carrying the whole evaluation. The 40% rule does not apply in your Simfunded account. On TL Early Access accounts (static plans) the rule is 50% during the evaluation.
Are there inactivity rules?
Yes. During evaluation and in your Simfunded account, you must place at least 1 trade per week. During evaluation: missing a week deactivates your account. In your Simfunded account: missing a week pauses it - you remain eligible for profits and payouts but need to reactivate.
What are the contract limits?
Standard 60% and 80% starting sizes: 100K = 2 minis or 20 micros; 200K = 4 minis or 40 micros; 300K = 6 minis or 60 micros. Legacy NYC starting sizes: 100K = 5 micros; 200K = 1 mini or 10 micros; 300K = 2 minis or 20 micros. Maximum across all account sizes: 15 minis (or equivalent in micros).
What is the commission per contract?
$0.50 per side - not round trip. You pay $0.50 when you open a position and $0.50 when you close it, so a full round-trip trade costs $1.00 per contract in commissions.
Are there restrictions on hedging?
Hedging is not permitted. This includes hedging the same instrument across multiple accounts, such as being long NQ in one account and short NQ in another; hedging through correlated instruments, such as being long NQ and short ES; and coordinating with another trader or group of traders to create offsetting positions across separate accounts. This rule applies whether the accounts belong to the same trader or to different traders acting together.
Traders Launch is a funded trading program. You pay a one-time evaluation fee to access a simulated account. Hit your profit target within the time limit and you move toward a Simfunded account (on Premium plans, after clearing a short buffer stage and completing contract signing and KYC), where you can trade and request real payouts from your profits. No subscription, no recurring fees - just one upfront cost.
Who is Traders Launch for?
Traders Launch is for people who already know how to trade futures. You need to understand risk management and how to use a trading platform. We don't teach you to trade - we fund you once you prove you can.
How much does it cost to get started?
You pay a one-time evaluation fee ranging from $49 to $599 depending on account size, session, and profit-split plan. If you haven't passed by day 60 but you're above 50% of your profit target, you automatically get a free 30-day extension - no extra charge. There's no subscription and no recurring billing.
Are there any activation fees or hidden costs?
None. You pay the evaluation fee once. No activation fee when you pass, no recurring charge once you're Simfunded, no hidden costs at any stage. The one-time evaluation purchase is all you pay.
Are there any restricted countries?
Section: Are there any restricted countries?
− Yes. Traders Launch does not accept traders from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Zimbabwe, Sudan, South Sudan, or Venezuela. See our Terms for the authoritative current list.

What the page said before and after
Before
Where can I see my count?
Your dashboard shows how many daily loss limit hits you have in the current rolling 30 day window.
Why the rule exists
The daily loss limit is there to stop a single bad session ending an account. A trader who hits it repeatedly inside a month is not having one bad session, they are running a risk profile the account cannot support. The strike rule ends that before it reaches the maximum drawdown.
Can I remove the daily loss limit?
Not at the moment. Daily Payouts accounts are sold with the daily loss limit enabled.

Before contacting support, please check the following:
- Log into your dashboard and compare your account equity against the drawdown limit. If your equity is at or below the drawdown level, the breach is correct.
- Check whether you had any open positions with unrealized losses that may have pushed your equity below the limit. Drawdown calculations include unrealized P&L, commissions, and fees.
- Check whether your account has been inactive for more than 7 consecutive days, as this will also trigger a breach.
If after reviewing the above you still believe the breach was made in error, contact support with your account ID and a description of what happened.

$9,500 – $15,000 | 10 Minis / 100 Micros
Example
A trader merges three $50,000 funded accounts. The Live Account opens with a $6,000 combined Live Drawdown and a maximum position size of 6 Minis / 60 Micros.
Please note: Certain highly volatile contracts may have reduced position limits to ensure traders remain within the available drawdown.
Accounts come with preset risk limits, including when multiple Live accounts are moved over. However, we can certainly consider increasing leverage and making adjustments based on consistent performance.
For example, traders who demonstrate strong and consistent risk management over time may become eligible for increased contract sizing.
Section: Example
− Contract limits do not change after payouts or once your Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) locks — the maximum position size from the table above is your limit.
Maximum Live Account balance: $15,000. (Only accounts purchases post 28/09/26)
Live Bonus
The first time a trader is promoted to Live, they may be eligible to receive a one-time Live Bonus based on their combined Live Drawdown.
Each time your Live Account reaches one of the following profit milestones, you receive a bonus equal to 25% of your starting combined Live Drawdown:
Cumulative Net Profit | Bonus Released
0.5 × combined Live Drawdown | 25% of starting combined Live Drawdown
1 × combined Live Drawdown | 25% of starting combined Live Drawdown
1.5 × combined Live Drawdown | 25% of starting combined Live Drawdown
Each release is deposited into your Live Account balance for trading purposes.
Deposited bonus funds become withdrawable once you have completed 5 winning days on your Live Account — a day with net profit of at least 1% of your starting combined Live Drawdown (minimum $100) — and your account is in profit. Profit withdrawals are never blocked — payouts always draw from trading profits first.
Example
A trader transitions to Live with five $50,000 funded accounts.
The Live Account begins with a $0 starting balance and a $10,000 combined Live Drawdown.

Your maximum position size is based on your combined Live Drawdown:

Criteria for the payout:
Payout requests can be submitted once you fulfill all of the payout requirements. If you are unable to fulfill one of the following rules, you won´t be able to request your payout.
35% Best Day rule - With a 35% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 35% of your total generated profits.
Minimum payout is $100.
Amounts are taken from your net profit. Meaning, with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125.
Minimum profitable days between each payout: 5 (does not apply for first payout)
- A profitable day is considered as a day where the realized closed PnL equals to 0.3% or more.
- You have to achieve profitable days between each payout cycle. After requesting a payout, your previously achieved profitable days will reset to 0.
$75 - $25,000 account
$150 - $50,000 account

$450 - $150,000 account
Payout buffer - Before you can start requesting payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account in the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown. The buffer can not be requested. The reason for this is to protect trades from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account.
If your EOD is 3% and your initial balance $100,000, the buffer is $3000.
Payout caps - Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.
A full explanation can be seen in this article.

Section: Criteria for the payout:
− This determines how many payouts you can request in total from one account. After you request 5 payouts, no matter the remaining buffer or how much you requested in total payouts, the cycle is closed, the account is deactivated, and you move on with the free Challenge of the same size.
Payout Mechanism:
On E8 Signature (futures market), for your current payout, only profit earned during the current cycle is eligible. Meaning Unused profits from previous cycles don't carry over.

35% Best Day rule - With a 35% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 35% of your total generated profits.
Minimum payout is $100.
Amounts are taken from your net profit. Meaning, with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125.
Minimum profitable days between each payout: 5 (does not apply for first payout)
- A profitable day is considered as a day where the realized closed PnL equals to 0.3% or more.
- You have to achieve profitable days between each payout cycle. After requesting a payout, your previously achieved profitable days will reset to 0.
$75 - $25,000 account
$150 - $50,000 account
$300 - $100,000 account
$450 - $150,000 account
Payout buffer - Before you can start requesting payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account in the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown. The buffer can not be requested. The reason for this is to protect trades from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account.
If your EOD is 3% and your initial balance $100,000, the buffer is $3000.
Payout caps - Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.

What is E8 Zero?
Built for Futures traders who want minimal payout restrictions. The consistency rule is only in the challange stage, which means that traders can enjoy no consistency rules, no daily profit cap, and no minimum profit requirements in the performance stage.

E8 Zero comes in 2 versions - E8 Zero Starter and E8 Zero Max. Both versions have identical rules; the only difference is that the starter version is cheaper with smaller payout caps, and Zero Max has a slightly higher price but offers bigger payout caps.

Frequently Asked Questions
$25K Static Trading Combine
What does "static drawdown" mean, and how is it different from trailing drawdown?
Topstep uses 2 types of drawdown. Here's how each works using the same scenario: a Trader starts with a $25,000 balance and a $1,000 Max Loss Limit, earns $1,000 in profit (balance hits $26,000), then loses $500 (balance ends at $25,500).
- End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing (standard Topstep Trading Combines): The Max Loss Limit trails the end-of-day closing balance — not intraday peaks. Trader ends at $25,500, limit moves to $24,500. They start the next day with $1,000 of room.
- Static (this Trading Combine): The Max Loss Limit never moves. It stays at $24,000 no matter what. With a $28,000 balance, the Trader has $4,000 of room — not $3,000.
| EOD Trailing | Static
Maximum Loss Limit after scenario | $24,500 | $24,000
