Futures Prop Firm Rule Radar
Every night Rule Radar archives the help center of every futures prop firm on the price list and shows exactly what changed: which page, which line, dated, before and after. Payout terms, consistency rules, drawdown math, activation fees: firms rewrite these without an announcement, and this is where you catch it. Updated pages open to the exact wording that changed, every article keeps a full version history you can compare, and a plain-English line on each row says what happened. Nothing here is written by the firms. It is their own help center, read every day and kept. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

Option 1 (Trailing Drawdown)
−
| Account Size | One-Time Fee | Trailing Drawdown | Contract Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $338 | $1,000 | 3 minis (30 micros) |
| $50,000 | $488 | $2,250 | 7 minis (70 micros) |
| $100,000 | $648 | $4,000 | 12 minis (120 micros) |
| $150,000 | $788 | $5,500 | 15 minis (150 micros) |
Option 2 (EOD Drawdown / No scaling)
−
| Account Size | One-Time Fee | EOD Drawdown | Daily Loss Limit | Contract Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $338 | $1,000 | no daily loss limit | 2 minis (20 micros) |
| $50,000 | $488 | $2,250 | $1,200 | 4 minis (40 micros) |
| $100,000 | $648 | $4,000 | $2,500 | 8 minis (80 micros) |
| $150,000 | $788 | $5,500 | $3,300 | 12 minis (120 micros) |
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.

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.

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.

Your drawdown stops moving once you have earned it back. The floor trails your closed daily profit dollar-for-dollar, and once your lifetime net profit matches your starting drawdown it locks permanently at your starting balance. From that point the account cannot fail below breakeven.
A 40% consistency rule applies while Sim Funded, and payouts become available every three trading days once your balance is above the threshold in the table above.
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 $1,400 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $900 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $400 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,400 + $900 + $900 + $400 = $3,600. Your biggest day of $1,400 is 38.9% of that — inside the 40% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,600 − $900 = $2,700. The same $1,400 day jumps to 51.9% — outside the same rule. ❌
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.

Section: Contract Rollovers – Futures Contracts Explained
− What Is a Futures Contract?
− A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific future date. Unlike stocks, futures contracts have an expiration date.
− For example, equity index futures like the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ-100 are listed with multiple expiration months throughout the year (March, June, September, December, etc.).
− Each expiration month represents a separate contract.
− Understanding Futures Contract Codes
− Every CME futures contract has a specific symbol structure:
− 1️⃣ Product Symbol
This identifies the underlying asset.
Section: 1. Product symbol
− Examples:
− - ES = E-mini S&P 500
− - NQ = E-mini Nasdaq-100
− - CL = Crude Oil
− - GC = Gold
− 2️⃣ Month Code (Letter)
− Futures contracts use a standardized letter to represent the expiration month:
−
| Month | Code |
|---|---|
| January | F |
| February | G |
| March | H |
| April | J |
| May | K |
| June | M |
| July | N |
| August | Q |
| September | U |
| October | V |
| November | X |
| December | Z |
− These month codes are globally standardized across futures markets.
− While the standard month codes (like U, V, X) are globally standardized across futures markets, not every instrument follows the same rollover schedule. Depending on what you are trading, you'll need to watch for different expiration cycles.
− 🔄 Rollover Frequencies
− - Quarterly Rollover (Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec)
− - Common for Equity Index Futures (like the E-mini S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100).
− - Traders typically look for codes H, M, U, and Z. H stands for March, M stands for June, U represents September, and Z is the code for December.
− - Monthly Rollover
− - Standard for many Commodity Futures (like Crude Oil or Natural Gas) and some Currency Futures.
− 3️⃣ Year Code (Number)
The year is represented by the last digit(s) of the year.
Section: 3. Year code (number)
− For example:
− - ESU6 = E-mini S&P 500 September 2026
− - NQZ6 = Nasdaq-100 December 2026
− - CLM7 = Crude Oil June 2027
− So the structure is:
− [Product Symbol] + [Month Code] + [Year]
− 🔍 Example Breakdown
− Let’s break down ESU6:
− - ES → E-mini S&P 500
− - U → September
− - 6 → 2026
This means it is the September 2026 E-mini S&P 500 futures contract.
Section: Why should we roll over? The real risk: low volume contracts
− 📉 Why should we rollover?
− The Real Risk: Low Volume Contracts
− As a futures contract approaches expiration, trading activity gradually shifts to the next contract month listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
− This means the expiring contract begins to lose:
− - Trading volume 📉
− - Open interest 📉
− - Order book depth 📉
− Front Month vs. Back Months
− - Front Month: This is the contract with the closest expiration date that still has the highest trading volume and open interest. It is the most "active" contract where most trading occurs. ✅
− - Back Months: These are contracts that expire further in the future. While they exist in the order book, they typically have very low volume and thin liquidity. ❌
− Why it matters
− Traders should almost always trade the Front Month. Trading a Back Month by mistake causes Inconsistent Chart Behavior, Slippage Risk and has the chance to blow up your account rapidly.
− If you continue trading a low-volume contract, you face several risks.
− 🚫 Risks of Trading Low-Volume Contracts
−
| Risk Factor | Impact on Trading |
|---|
− Wider Spreads | ↔️ Very Large bid-ask spreads; Immediately putting you in big drawdown when entering.
− Slippage Risk | 📉 Market orders fill at worse prices; poor stop-loss execution with huge slippage risk.
− Thin Order Books | ⚡ Small trades cause sharp price jumps; unstable behavior; technical levels don't react cleanly.
− Unreliable Price Action | 📊 Irregular price movements and gaps not present in the active contract.
− ⚠️ Important: Responsibility of the trader
− Top One Futures is not responsible for losses exceeding normal risk parameters caused by trading low-volume or close-to-expired contracts.
− 👤 Trader Responsibility
− It is the trader's sole responsibility to ensure they are trading the correct, active contract. Trading "thin" or close-to-expired contracts leads to:
− - 📉 Severe Slippage: Market orders and stop losses may fill at much worse prices.
− - ⚡Extreme Volatility: Small trades can cause massive, erratic price jumps.
− 🚨 How to Check Which Contract We Are Trading
− To make sure you are trading the correct futures contract, always confirm where the liquidity currently is or use a rollover calender.
− 🔎 Check Volume on the CME Website
− The most reliable source is the Chicago Mercantile Exchange website.
− On the product page (for example, Gold futures), you can:
- Compare trading volume across all listed contract months
- Check open interest
- Confirm expiration dates
- Identify which contract is the current front month
Section: Check volume on the CME website
− 👉 The contract with the highest volume is typically the active contract.
− For example, you can find the Micro Gold volume page here:
− https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/e-micro-gold.volume.html
− 💡 Important
− The examples below is provided for educational purposes only and should not be relied upon as confirmation of the current active contract. Always verify which contract is currently active before trading.
− This article was written on February 25, 2026. On that date, the active contract for Micro Gold (MGC) is the April 2026 contract. As you can see APR 2026 has the highest volume by far and traders should trade on this contract. April = J, 2026 = 6, so the right contract -> MGCJ6
− *Image Source: https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/metals/precious/e-micro-gold.volume.html Used for educational purposes to illustrate contract volume.
− 📅 Use a Rollover Calendar (Very Clear Method)
− Another excellent resource is using a rollover calendar, for example:
− https://www.linnsoft.com/support/rollover-calendar
− This page clearly shows:
- Which contract was the previous front month
- The exact rollover date
- Which contract became active
- The full contract code
It makes it very easy to visually understand when the shift happened.
Section: Example of a rollover calendar
− 📌 Example of Rollover Calender
Keep in mind that this example depends on when you are reading this article. This example is provided for educational purposes only and should not be relied upon as confirmation of the current active contract.
− *Image Source: https://www.linnsoft.com/support/rollover-calendar Used for educational purposes to illustrate contract rollover dates and Product symbols.
From the example shown:
- The section marked in red shows the previous contract (February).
- The other section below that is marked in red as well shows the rollover date to the April contract: January 28, 2026 (end of day).
- On that date, liquidity shifted to the April contract.
- In this example you would now use the data marked in green.
− This means: The Rollover date from February 2026 Contract to the April 2026 Contract was on January 28 2026. Making the April 2026 Contract the front month contract.
− In this example we rolled over from the February contract ➡️ To April contract
− For standard Gold futures, the April 2026 contract code is:
− - GCJ6
− If trading Micro Gold, the April 2026 contract code is:
− - MGCJ6

+ Another excellent resource is using a rollover calendar, for example the Linnsoft rollover calendar. This page clearly shows:
- Which contract was the previous front month
- The exact rollover date
- Which contract became active
- The full contract code
It makes it very easy to visually understand when the shift happened.

From the example shown:
- The section marked in red shows the previous contract (February).
- The other section below that is marked in red as well shows the rollover date to the April contract: January 28, 2026 (end of day).
- On that date, liquidity shifted to the April contract.
- In this example you would now use the data marked in green.
− This means: The Rollover date from February 2026 Contract to the April 2026 Contract was on January 28 2026. Making the April 2026 Contract the front month contract.
− In this example we rolled over from the February contract ➡️ To April contract
− For standard Gold futures, the April 2026 contract code is:
− - GCJ6
− If trading Micro Gold, the April 2026 contract code is:
− - MGCJ6

Section: How Do Subscriptions Work on Top One Futures?
− Monthly Renewal (Not Every 30 Days)
− The subscription renews on the same date each month, not after 30 days. For example:
− - If you purchased your evaluation on March 21st, it will renew on April 21st, then May 21st, and so on.
− You can always check your next renewal date in the Billing section of your account, where you'll also see which specific evaluation each subscription is assigned to.
− How Rebilling and Resets Work
− - If your account is breached: A successful rebill of your subscription will automatically reset your Evaluation account.
− - If your account is NOT breached: A successful rebill simply extends your current trading period for another 30 days so you can continue your progress.
− - Failed Payments & Cancellations: If a rebill payment fails, your subscription will be automatically canceled.
− ⚠️ Important Note on Canceled Subscriptions: Once a subscription is canceled, whether you canceled it manually or it was canceled due to a failed payment, no resets will be issued. If your account was still active at the time of cancellation, it will be permanently closed. Once a subscription is canceled, the account cannot be recovered or reactivated under any circumstances.
− Important: Managing Your Subscription
Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions do not cancel automatically. You are responsible for managing your billing.
Section: Managing your subscription
− Elite Evaluation Accounts
− For these accounts, the subscription remains active regardless of whether you pass or fail.
− - If you Pass: You must pay the Activation Fee to move to a funded account. Only after this fee is paid will your evaluation subscription stop.
− - If you Fail: You must manually cancel the subscription in your dashboard to stop future recurring charges.
− Elite Daily Accounts
− These accounts feature a streamlined process for passing, but still require manual action if you fail.
− - If you Pass: There is no activation fee on the Elite Daily Accounts. Your subscription will automatically end once you have passed the evaluation.
− - If you Fail: You must manually cancel the subscription yourself to avoid being charged again.
− How to Cancel the Subscription
If you wish to stop recurring payments, follow these steps:
- Log in to the Members Area on our platform.
- Go to the "Billing" section.
Section: How to cancel the subscription
− - Select "Subscriptions". Here you'll see all active subscriptions along with their renewal dates and associated evaluations.
- Cancel any subscriptions you no longer need.
Section: Failed payments
− Important: Failed Payments
− - If a payment fails, the subscription will be canceled automatically, and the account will be closed.
− - If you need to make a manual payment (due to card issues or other reasons), contact us immediately through:
− - Support Chat
− - Customer Support Email
− This way, we can assist you in processing the payment manually and prevent your account from being closed.
− Our subscription system is designed to give you continuous access to evaluations, but it is your responsibility to cancel if you no longer wish to continue. Always check your Billing section to track renewal dates and verify which evaluation each subscription covers.
− If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!

Section: How to Complete Your KYC Verification
− Why Is KYC Important?
Identity verification protects both you and our trading community. It confirms that every funded account belongs to a real, verified person, which keeps the platform fair, prevents fraud and duplicate accounts, and allows us to send payouts securely to the right person.
It is also a requirement, not an optional step. You must complete your KYC verification in order to:
Section: Why is KYC important?
− - Sign your funded account contract. Contracts cannot be signed until your identity is verified.
− - Trade your funded account. Trading stays disabled until both your KYC and your contract are completed.
− - Receive payouts. Payout requests cannot be processed on an unverified account.
− In short, without KYC your funded account cannot be activated, traded, or paid out.
− The good news: you only need to do this once. Once you are verified, you will not be asked to complete KYC again at the funded stage.
− Before You Start
A couple of things that will save you time and prevent your verification from being declined:
- Check that your account information matches your government issued ID. Your name and details in your dashboard must match your ID exactly. Please review this carefully, because you will not be able to change this information afterwards.
- Have your physical ID ready. You can use your ID card, driving licence, or another government issued card. It must be the physical document. Copies, screenshots, or photos of a photo will be declined.
Section: How to complete your KYC
− How to Complete Your KYC
− - Log in to your dashboard and click Settings in the left hand menu.
− - Open the Verification tab at the top.
− - Click Get Verified Now.
− - Follow the prompts. You will be asked to take a photo of your ID and a photo of yourself.
− - Wait for confirmation. Verification usually takes under a minute, and you will be notified once your account is verified.
That's it. Once verified, your status will update and you can continue with your contract and start trading.
Section: Is my data safe?
− Is My Data Safe?
Yes. Our verification is powered by KYCAID, and your data is encrypted using the most secure version of AES, so your personal information is fully protected throughout the process.
Section: Checking your verification status
− Checking Your Verification Status
You can see your current status on your profile in the dashboard. If it shows KYC Pending, your verification has not been completed yet and you will need to follow the steps above.
− Need Help?
− If your verification is declined, gets stuck, or you run into any issue during the process, reach out to our support team through live chat or at [email protected] and we will be glad to help you get it sorted.

TUnlistedTop One Futures · 🔥 Ignite Accounts: 15% Consistency Rule | Top One Futures Help CenterArticle restructured with navigation elements added and content reformatted into table format; no changes to the 15% rule itself or its calculation.Oct 1
▸ View exact changes
The change in place, line by line
Before
Section: 🔥 Ignite Accounts: 15% Consistency Rule
− The 15% Consistency Rule is a key performance metric we use to ensure our funded traders are earning profits through a stable and consistent strategy, rather than from a single "lucky" or high-risk trading day.
− We are looking to partner with traders who can demonstrate steady, long-term profitability. This rule is designed to reward that skill.
− Specifically, this rule applies to new Ignite accounts opened under the updated terms. Existing accounts that use the ESS rule remain unchanged and cannot transition to this new rule.
− The Rule & How It's Calculated
− The rule is simple: Your single best trading day's profit cannot account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profit.
− At the moment you request a payout, we use the following formula to check your score:
− Your Consistency Score = (Best Day's Profit ÷ Total Profit) x 100
− To be eligible for a payout, your Consistency Score must be 15% or less.
− Payout Eligibility Examples
− Let's assume you are on an account with a $3,000 profit target.
− Scenario 1: PASS
− - You reach a Total Profit of $3,000.
− - You check your trading log, and your Best Day's Profit was $400.
− - Calculation: ($400 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 13.3%
− - Result: ✅ PASS. Your score of 13.3% is below the 15% limit, and you are eligible for a payout (assuming all other rules are met).
− Scenario 2: FAIL
− - You reach a Total Profit of $3,000.
− - You check your trading log, and your Best Day's Profit was $2,000.
− - Calculation: ($2,000 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 66.7%
− - Result: ❌ FAIL. Your score of 66.7% is much higher than the 15% limit. Your payout request will be denied until your score is fixed.
− "I Failed! How Do I Fix My High Score?
− If your score is too high, you don't need to panic or reset your account. The solution is simply to continue trading profitably to increase your "Total Profit" denominator.
− Your one big day has set a new, higher profit target for you. To find your new target, use this formula:
− Your New Target Profit = (Your Best Day's Profit ÷ 0.15)
− Using Scenario 2 as our example:
− - Your Best Day's Profit: $2,000
− - New Target Calculation: $2,000 ÷ 0.15 = $13,333.33
− This means you must now grow your account's Total Profit to $13,333.33 to bring your score down to 15%. (This is, of course, assuming you do not have another, even larger winning day while working toward this new target).
− Key Things to Remember
− It's a Payout Rule: This rule does not cause a breach. It is only checked when you request a withdrawal.
− - It Encourages Longevity: The best way to pass is to aim for smaller, consistent daily wins rather than trying to hit your entire target in one or two days.
− - It Resets: The Consistency Score calculation resets to zero after every successful payout.

+ Table of contents
+ The 15% Consistency Rule ensures that funded Ignite traders earn profits through a stable, consistent strategy rather than from a single lucky or high-risk trading day. We partner with traders who can demonstrate steady, long-term profitability, and this rule rewards that skill.
+ This rule applies to new Ignite accounts opened under the updated terms. Existing accounts that use the ESS rule remain unchanged and cannot transition to this rule.
+ The rule and how it is calculated
+ Your single best trading day’s profit cannot account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profit. At the moment you request a payout, we check your score with this formula:
+ Consistency score = (Best day’s profit ÷ Total profit) × 100. To be eligible for a payout, your score must be 15% or lower.
+ Payout eligibility examples
+ Both scenarios assume you are on an account with a $3,000 profit target.
+
| Scenario | Total profit | Best day | Score | Result |
|---|
+ 1. Pass | $3,000 | $400 | 13.3% | Pass: below the 15% limit, eligible for a payout (assuming all other rules are met)
+ 2. Fail | $3,000 | $2,000 | 66.7% | Fail: far above the 15% limit, the payout request is denied until the score is fixed
+ Failed? How to fix a high score
+ You do not need to panic or reset your account. The solution is to continue trading profitably to increase your total profit. Your one big day has set a new, higher profit target for you:
+ New target profit = Best day’s profit ÷ 0.15. Using scenario 2: $2,000 ÷ 0.15 = $13,333.33. You must grow your total profit to $13,333.33 to bring your score down to 15% (assuming you do not have another, even larger winning day on the way).
+ Good to know
+ - It is a payout rule. This rule does not cause a breach. It is only checked when you request a withdrawal.
+ - It encourages longevity. The best way to pass is to aim for smaller, consistent daily wins rather than hitting your entire target in one or two days.
+ - It resets. The consistency score calculation resets to zero after every successful payout.
+ Your best day may never be more than 15% of your total profit at the moment you request a payout. If it is, keep trading until the total catches up: new target = best day ÷ 0.15.

− - Calculation: ($400 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 13.3%
− - Result: ✅ PASS. Your score of 13.3% is below the 15% limit, and you are eligible for a payout (assuming all other rules are met).
− Scenario 2: FAIL
− - You reach a Total Profit of $3,000.
− - You check your trading log, and your Best Day's Profit was $2,000.
− - Calculation: ($2,000 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 66.7%
− - Result: ❌ FAIL. Your score of 66.7% is much higher than the 15% limit. Your payout request will be denied until your score is fixed.
− "I Failed! How Do I Fix My High Score?
− If your score is too high, you don't need to panic or reset your account. The solution is simply to continue trading profitably to increase your "Total Profit" denominator.
− Your one big day has set a new, higher profit target for you. To find your new target, use this formula:
− Your New Target Profit = (Your Best Day's Profit ÷ 0.15)
− Using Scenario 2 as our example:
− - Your Best Day's Profit: $2,000
− - New Target Calculation: $2,000 ÷ 0.15 = $13,333.33
− This means you must now grow your account's Total Profit to $13,333.33 to bring your score down to 15%. (This is, of course, assuming you do not have another, even larger winning day while working toward this new target).
− Key Things to Remember
− It's a Payout Rule: This rule does not cause a breach. It is only checked when you request a withdrawal.
− - It Encourages Longevity: The best way to pass is to aim for smaller, consistent daily wins rather than trying to hit your entire target in one or two days.
− - It Resets: The Consistency Score calculation resets to zero after every successful payout.

+ How the 15% consistency rule on Ignite accounts is calculated, with pass and fail examples and how to fix a high score.
+ Updated today
+ Table of contents
+ The 15% Consistency Rule ensures that funded Ignite traders earn profits through a stable, consistent strategy rather than from a single lucky or high-risk trading day. We partner with traders who can demonstrate steady, long-term profitability, and this rule rewards that skill.
+ This rule applies to new Ignite accounts opened under the updated terms. Existing accounts that use the ESS rule remain unchanged and cannot transition to this rule.
+ The rule and how it is calculated
+ Your single best trading day’s profit cannot account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profit. At the moment you request a payout, we check your score with this formula:
+ Consistency score = (Best day’s profit ÷ Total profit) × 100. To be eligible for a payout, your score must be 15% or lower.
+ Payout eligibility examples
+ Both scenarios assume you are on an account with a $3,000 profit target.
+
| Scenario | Total profit | Best day | Score | Result |
|---|
+ 1. Pass | $3,000 | $400 | 13.3% | Pass: below the 15% limit, eligible for a payout (assuming all other rules are met)
+ 2. Fail | $3,000 | $2,000 | 66.7% | Fail: far above the 15% limit, the payout request is denied until the score is fixed
+ Failed? How to fix a high score
+ You do not need to panic or reset your account. The solution is to continue trading profitably to increase your total profit. Your one big day has set a new, higher profit target for you:
+ New target profit = Best day’s profit ÷ 0.15. Using scenario 2: $2,000 ÷ 0.15 = $13,333.33. You must grow your total profit to $13,333.33 to bring your score down to 15% (assuming you do not have another, even larger winning day on the way).
+ Good to know
+ - It is a payout rule. This rule does not cause a breach. It is only checked when you request a withdrawal.
+ - It encourages longevity. The best way to pass is to aim for smaller, consistent daily wins rather than hitting your entire target in one or two days.
+ - It resets. The consistency score calculation resets to zero after every successful payout.
+ Your best day may never be more than 15% of your total profit at the moment you request a payout. If it is, keep trading until the total catches up: new target = best day ÷ 0.15.

Section: 🔥 Ignite Accounts : Payout Requirements
− This account is designed to reward consistent, profitable traders. To be eligible to request a payout, you must meet three key requirements.
− Here is a simple breakdown of each rule:
− 1. 5% Profit Target
− You must reach a 5% profit target to be eligible for each payout. How this target is calculated changes slightly after your first withdrawal.
− For Your First Payout: The target is 5% of your initial account balance.
− - Example (50k Account):
− - Initial Balance: $50,000
− - 5% Profit Target: $2,500
− - Target Balance for Payout: $52,500
− For Subsequent Payouts: The target is 5% on top of your new balance after your previous payout is deducted.
− - Example (Continuing from above):
− - You reach $52,500 and request a $1,000 payout.
− - Your new post-payout balance is: $51,500
− - Your new 5% profit target is calculated from this balance: ($51,500 * 0.05) = $2,575
− - Target Balance for 2nd Payout: $51,500 + $2,575 = $54,075
The minimum payout is $250 on all account sizes and payout cycles.
Section: 2. The 15% consistency rule
− 2. 15% Consistency Rule
− This is the most important rule for managing your risk. It ensures that your profits are earned steadily, rather than from a single lucky day.
− The Rule: Your single best trading day's profit cannot account for more than 15% of your total accumulated profit at the time of your payout request.
− The Formula: (Best Day's Profit / Total Profit) * 100 = Your Consistency Score
− Example 1: (PASS)
− - You reach a total profit of $2,500.
− - Your single best day was $300.
− - Calculation: ($300 ÷ $2,500) * 100 = 12%
− - Result: You PASS (12% is less than 15%).
− Example 2: (FAIL)
− - You reach a total profit of $2,500.
− - Your single best day was $1,000.
− - Calculation: ($1,000 ÷ $2,500) * 100 = 40%
− - Result: You FAIL (40% is greater than 15%).
− "I failed... how do I fix my score?"
− If your best day is too high, you must "fix" your score by accumulating more profits. You need to make that best day equal 15% of a new, larger total profit.
− - Using Example 2:
− - Your best day is $1,000.
− - To find the profit target you need: $1,000 ÷ 0.15 = $6,667
− - You must grow your total profit to $6,667 (without having another day better than $1,000) to meet the 15% rule.

+ Failed? How to fix your score: accumulate more profit so that your best day equals 15% of a new, larger total. Using the fail example: $1,000 ÷ 0.15 = $6,667. You must grow your total profit to $6,667 (without having another day better than $1,000) to meet the 15% rule. See the 15% Consistency Rule article for more detail.
+ 3. Payout amounts
+ - Each payout is capped at $500 ($25K), $1,000 ($50K), $1,500 ($100K) or $2,000 ($150K).
+ - You keep 90% of the payout amount; 10% stays with the firm.
+ - You can request a payout as soon as you reach the profit target with the consistency rule met. There is no minimum number of trading days.
+ Checklist before you request a payout: 5% profit since your last payout (or since the start), best day at most 15% of total profit, and a request between $250 and your account’s cap.

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Daily Progression Rule (50%)
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Daily Progression Rule (50%)
− The Daily Progression Rule ensures that payouts are based on consistent, ongoing performance rather than profits generated strictly from a single earlier trading period.
− This rule applies only to funded accounts and is checked at the moment of each payout request.
− How the Rule Works
− For every payout request after your initial withdrawal:
− - At least 50% of the requested payout amount must come from profits generated since your last payout.
− First Payout vs. Subsequent Payouts
− First Payout
− - The 50% progression rule does not apply to your first payout.
− - You may withdraw any valid profits once all standard payout requirements (buffer + $500 threshold, 5 profitable days, and 40% consistency rule) are met.
− Subsequent Payouts (Second Payout Onward)
− - A minimum of 50% of the requested amount must come from new profits.
− - Only profits generated after your last approved payout are considered "new" profits.
− Example Scenario
− - First Payout: You receive a $2,000 payout.
− - Account Balance Progress: After the payout, your account continues trading, and you decide to request a second $2,000 payout.
− - Requirement:
− - At least $1,000 (50%) of the new payout request must be from profits generated after your first payout was processed.
− - The remaining $1,000 can come from existing profits sitting above your buffer threshold.
− Important Notes
− - Funded Phase Only: Applies strictly to funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts.
− - Risk Parameters: While working toward your next payout, your account remains subject to the Intraday Trailing Drawdown and Daily Loss Limit (DLL) rules.
− - Payout Counter Reset: With each processed payout, the count for new profits, consistency rule and the 5-day profitable trading counter reset for the next cycle.
− Summary
− - First Payout: Excluded from the progression rule.
− - Subsequent Payouts: At least 50% of the requested withdrawal amount must be derived from new profits made after your previous payout.
− - Purpose: Encourages continuous performance and sustainable account growth.

To request a payout you must satisfy all requirements below: the 40% consistency rule, the buffer and profit requirement, the minimum profitable days and the daily progression rule. Each requirement has its own article in the Elite ACCESS Intraday collection.
+ Requirements
+
| Requirement | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profitable days needed | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Min profit for a day to count | $200 | $250 | $300 | $350 |
| Payout buffer | $1,500 | $2,000 | $3,000 | $4,500 |
| Required profit before a payout | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,500 | $5,000 |
| Minimum payout | $500 | $500 | $500 | $500 |
| Maximum payout per request | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| Profit split | 90% | 90% | 90% | 90% |
+ Payout buffer and profit requirement
+ Before requesting a payout, your account must reach the required profit level: the buffer plus $500.
+ - The buffer must remain in the account at all times.
+ - You can only withdraw profits above the required profit level.
+ - Each payout request must meet this threshold.
+ Minimum profitable days
+ You need a minimum of 5 profitable trading days before each payout. A day only counts when it reaches the minimum daily profit for your account size (see the table above).
+ Consistency rule (40%)
+ Your largest winning day must not exceed 40% of your total profits in your current payout cycle. If this rule is not yet met, the payout cannot be requested yet and you may continue trading until compliant.
+ After a payout is taken, your total profits reset and the consistency rule starts again based on new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance.
+ 50% profit progression rule
+ For each payout request, at least 50% of the requested payout amount must come from profits generated since your last payout. There is no restriction on your first payout; from the second payout onward, at least 50% must come from new profits generated after your previous payout request.
+ Profit split
+ 90% of the payout goes to the trader and 10% to the firm.
Path to Live
Your payouts also count toward moving from a simulated funded account to a live funded account.
Section: Path to Live
− - 3 successful payouts are required before you become eligible for the transition
− - Once you reach this milestone, a risk manager reviews your trading performance
− - If approved, your account is transitioned to live, where you trade with real capital
− Only one account transitions to live. If you hold multiple accounts, one account moves over, and your remaining accounts are closed at that point.
− For full details on how the transition works, please refer to the Path to Trading Live article.

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Minimum Profitable Days (Funded Only)
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Minimum Profitable Trading Days (Funded Only)
− The Minimum Profitable Trading Days requirement ensures that funded traders demonstrate consistent performance rather than relying on luck or a single lucky market movement before requesting a payout.
− This rule applies only to funded accounts, there is no minimum trading day requirement during the evaluation phase (where you can pass in as little as 1 day).
− What Is a Profitable Trading Day?
− A trading day is considered a profitable trading day when your net realized profit for that specific session meets or exceeds the minimum daily profit requirement for your account size (after accounting for commissions and fees).
− Minimum Daily Profit Requirements by Account Size
−
| Account Size | Minimum Daily Profit |
|---|
| $25,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $250 |
| $100,000 | $300 |
| $150,000 | $350 |
Section: How it works
− How It Works
− To make a payout request valid:
− - You must complete a minimum of 5 profitable trading days within your current payout cycle.
− - These 5 days do not need to be consecutive.
− - On each of those 5 days, your closed net profit must hit or exceed the minimum threshold for your account size.
− - Trading days with profits below the minimum threshold count toward your overall profit balance, but they do not count as one of the 5 required profitable trading days.
− Example
− For a $50,000 Elite ACCESS Intraday funded account (Minimum Daily Profit: $250):
− - Day 1: Net Profit +$300 → Valid Profitable Day 1
− - Day 2: Net Profit +$150 → Does not count toward the 5 days (below $250 requirement)
− - Day 3: Net Profit +$400 → Valid Profitable Day 2
− - Day 4: Net Loss -$100 → Does not count
− - Day 5: Net Profit +$260 → Valid Profitable Day 3
− - Day 6: Net Profit +$500 → Valid Profitable Day 4
− - Day 7: Net Profit +$310 → Valid Profitable Day 5
− At this point, you have completed 5 valid profitable trading days.
− Important Notes
− - Funded Phase Only: This requirement applies strictly to funded accounts. The evaluation phase requires only 1 profitable trading day.
− - Reset After Payout: Once a payout is processed, your profitable day counter resets to 0, and you must complete another 5 profitable trading days for your next payout request to become valid.
− - Open Trades: Only closed, realized trades count toward the daily profit total.
− Summary
− - Requirement: Must achieve at least 5 profitable trading days before requesting a payout.
− - Profit Thresholds: $200 ($25K), $250 ($50K), $300 ($100K), or $350 ($150K) per day.
− - Non-Consecutive: The days do not need to occur back-to-back.

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Consistency Rule (40%) - Funded
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Funded Consistency Rule (40%)
− The Consistency Rule ensures that trading performance is stable and not reliant on a single large trading day. This rule applies only to funded accounts—there is no consistency rule during the evaluation phase.
− How the 40% Rule Works
Your largest single trading day must not exceed 40% of your total profits in your current payout cycle.
Section: How the 40% rule works
− Formula:
− Consistency % = (Largest Winning Day / Total Profit) * 100
− This value must be 40% or less for it to be valid
− To determine the minimum total profit required to get 40% consistency based on your best day: Total Profit Needed = (Largest Winning Day / 0.40)
− Example (Valid)
− - Total Profit: $5,000
− - Largest Winning Day: $2,000
− Consistency = 40% → Valid
− Example (Not Valid)
− - Total Profit: $4,000
− - Largest Winning Day: $2,200
− Consistency = 55% → Not valid
− Where this rule applies:
− The consistency rule is checked:
− - When submitting a payout request
− - Based on your current total profit at that moment
How to get below the 40% mark
Section: How to get below the 40% mark
− If your account exceeds the 40% limit:
− - Continue trading to increase total profit
− - Reduce the percentage impact of your largest winning day
− Example
− - Largest day: $2,000
− - To be compliant (≤40%), total profit must be at least:
− $5,000
− Important Notes
− - Applies only to funded accounts
− - Applies only to profitable days
− - Based on closed trades only
- Recalculated continuously as your profit changes.
Section: Good to know
− - Highest profit day is still being recorded, whether in drawdown or in profits
− - After a payout is taken, your total profits reset, and the consistency rule begins again based on new profits moving forward.

Before
Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Maximum Loss Limit - Funded Phase (Intraday)
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) (Funded Phase)
− On our Elite ACCESS Intraday Funded Accounts, we use a Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) model to manage risk and reward consistency. This rule protects both the trader and the firm from excessive loss while still allowing room for growth.
− What Is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown?
− Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) means your maximum allowable loss trails your highest intra-day equity—including open (unrealized) trades. It is tracked live, tick by tick, in real-time.
- It is not fixed at the starting balance.
Section: What is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown
− - It moves upward only as your live equity hits new highs, it does not go down.
- It is based on the highest equity value during the day, not just closed trades.
− - The TIDD does not reset at the end of the day; it is always calculated based on your highest realized or unrealized P&L achieved on the account.
− Example – $100,000 Account with 3% TIDD
− - Account Size: $100,000
− - TIDD: 3% = $3,000
− - Initial Breach Level: $97,000
− Scenario 1
− You make $1,000 and close the trade.
− - New high: $101,000
− - New breach level: $98,000
− Scenario 2
− You open a trade, and your intraday equity spikes to $103,000 (unrealized).
− - Even if you close it later at $102,500, the breach level is $100,000 (based on the peak of $103,000).
− Scenario 3
− Your next trade spikes to $105,500, then drops to $103,000.
− - New breach level: $102,500 ($105,500 - $3,000 Intraday drawdown)
− - If your equity drops below $102,500, the account breaches—even if you haven't closed the trade.
− Key Takeaway: The TIDD follows your highest equity value ever achieved, whether realized or unrealized. It does not reset when you close a trade.
− When Does the TIDD Stop Trailing? (Drawdown Lock)
− On Elite ACCESS Intraday Funded Accounts, your TIDD continues to trail until you request your first payout. After you requested your first payout, it locks in at the starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. From that point forward, account growth no longer raises the breach level.
− Summary of TIDD Rules
− - Real-time: Includes open (unrealized) trades.
− - Dynamic: Adjusts upward as new equity highs are hit.
− - Breach Level: If equity drops below the trailing threshold, your account breaches.
− - Post-Payout Lock: After your first payout, the TIDD locks in place at your starting balance + $100 and stops trailing.
− This rule rewards discipline, not gambling. Traders who manage risk and grow steadily will thrive.
− Rule Violation
− If your account balance closes at or drops below your Maximum Loss Limit threshold during the funded phase:
− - The account will be permanently breached.
− - Trading access will be disabled.
− Summary of TIDD Rules
− - Real-time: Includes open (unrealized) trades.
− - Dynamic: Adjusts upward as new equity highs are hit, never goes down.
− - Breach Level: If equity drops below the trailing threshold, your account breaches.
− - Drawdown Lock: After your first payout, the TIDD locks in place at your starting balance + $100 and stops trailing.
This rule rewards discipline, not gambling. Traders who manage risk and grow steadily will thrive.

+ Funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts use a Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) to manage risk and reward consistency.

|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $3,500 |
+ Example: $100,000 account with a $3,000 TIDD
+ Starting balance $100,000, so the initial breach level is $97,000.
+
| Scenario | What happens | New breach level |
|---|---|---|
| 1. You make $1,000 and close the trade | New equity high: $101,000 | $98,000 |
+ 2. An open trade spikes your equity to $103,000 (unrealized), you close it at $102,500 | The peak of $103,000 counts, not the closing value | $100,000
+ 3. The next trade spikes to $105,500, then drops back to $103,000 | The peak of $105,500 counts. If your equity drops below the breach level, the account breaches, even with the trade still open | $102,500
+ Key takeaway: the TIDD follows your highest equity value ever achieved, whether realized or unrealized. It does not reset when you close a trade.

+ On funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts, the TIDD keeps trailing until you request your first payout. After your first payout request, it locks at starting balance + $100 and stops trailing. From that point, account growth no longer raises the breach level. This is different from the evaluation phase and from the regular Elite ACCESS account, where the drawdown locks as soon as the balance reaches starting balance + drawdown + $100. On a funded Elite ACCESS Intraday account the drawdown keeps trailing above that level until your first payout request.

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Maximum Loss Limit - Funded Phase (Intraday)
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) (Funded Phase)
− On our Elite ACCESS Intraday Funded Accounts, we use a Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) model to manage risk and reward consistency. This rule protects both the trader and the firm from excessive loss while still allowing room for growth.
− What Is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown?
− Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) means your maximum allowable loss trails your highest intra-day equity—including open (unrealized) trades. It is tracked live, tick by tick, in real-time.

+ The Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown on funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts: how it trails live equity, worked examples and when it locks.
+ Updated today
+ Table of contents
+ Funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts use a Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) to manage risk and reward consistency. It protects both the trader and the firm from excessive loss while still allowing room for growth. The evaluation phase uses an End-of-Day drawdown instead (see the evaluation phase article).
+ What is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown
+ Your maximum allowable loss trails your highest intraday equity, including open (unrealized) trades. It is tracked live, tick by tick, in real time.
- It is not fixed at the starting balance.
Section: What is the Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown
− - It moves upward only as your live equity hits new highs, it does not go down.
+ - It moves upward only as your live equity hits new highs. It never goes down.
- It is based on the highest equity value during the day, not just closed trades.
− - The TIDD does not reset at the end of the day; it is always calculated based on your highest realized or unrealized P&L achieved on the account.
− Example – $100,000 Account with 3% TIDD
− - Account Size: $100,000
− - TIDD: 3% = $3,000
− - Initial Breach Level: $97,000
− Scenario 1
− You make $1,000 and close the trade.
− - New high: $101,000
− - New breach level: $98,000
− Scenario 2
− You open a trade, and your intraday equity spikes to $103,000 (unrealized).
− - Even if you close it later at $102,500, the breach level is $100,000 (based on the peak of $103,000).
− Scenario 3
− Your next trade spikes to $105,500, then drops to $103,000.
− - New breach level: $102,500 ($105,500 - $3,000 Intraday drawdown)
− - If your equity drops below $102,500, the account breaches—even if you haven't closed the trade.
− Key Takeaway: The TIDD follows your highest equity value ever achieved, whether realized or unrealized. It does not reset when you close a trade.
− When Does the TIDD Stop Trailing? (Drawdown Lock)
− On Elite ACCESS Intraday Funded Accounts, your TIDD continues to trail until you request your first payout. After you requested your first payout, it locks in at the starting balance plus $100 and stops trailing. From that point forward, account growth no longer raises the breach level.
− Summary of TIDD Rules
− - Real-time: Includes open (unrealized) trades.
− - Dynamic: Adjusts upward as new equity highs are hit.
− - Breach Level: If equity drops below the trailing threshold, your account breaches.
− - Post-Payout Lock: After your first payout, the TIDD locks in place at your starting balance + $100 and stops trailing.
− This rule rewards discipline, not gambling. Traders who manage risk and grow steadily will thrive.
− Rule Violation
− If your account balance closes at or drops below your Maximum Loss Limit threshold during the funded phase:
− - The account will be permanently breached.
− - Trading access will be disabled.
− Summary of TIDD Rules
− - Real-time: Includes open (unrealized) trades.

| Scenario | What happens | New breach level |
|---|---|---|
| 1. You make $1,000 and close the trade | New equity high: $101,000 | $98,000 |
+ 2. An open trade spikes your equity to $103,000 (unrealized), you close it at $102,500 | The peak of $103,000 counts, not the closing value | $100,000
+ 3. The next trade spikes to $105,500, then drops back to $103,000 | The peak of $105,500 counts. If your equity drops below the breach level, the account breaches, even with the trade still open | $102,500
+ Key takeaway: the TIDD follows your highest equity value ever achieved, whether realized or unrealized. It does not reset when you close a trade.
+ When does the TIDD stop trailing (drawdown lock)

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Maximum Loss Limit - Evaluation Phase (EOD)
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) (EOD)
− The Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) defines the overall maximum loss your account can sustain before a permanent hard breach occurs.
− Note: For Elite ACCESS Intraday, this End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown model applies only during the Evaluation (Challenge) Phase. Once you transition to the Funded Phase, the account utilizes an Intraday Trailing Drawdown.
− Evaluation Phase Drawdown (EOD)
− During the evaluation phase, the Maximum Loss Limit is calculated strictly on an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing basis.

| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,000 |
Section: How the EOD trailing drawdown works
− How EOD Trailing Drawdown Works (Evaluation Only)
− - Calculated at Market Close: The drawdown level updates based on your closed account balance at the end of the trading day (5 PM EST / Market Close).
− - Does Not Trail Intraday: Equity spikes during active trading will not raise your drawdown limit mid-session.
− - Trails Up, Never Down: As your end-of-day balance reaches new highs, your trailing stop level moves up accordingly.
− - Drawdown Lock: Once your account balance reaches the threshold to lock drawdown (drawdown in profits + $100), the MLL stops trailing and remains fixed at starting balance + $100.
− When Does the Drawdown Lock?
− Drawdown Lock: Once your highest End of Day Balance reaches the threshold to lock drawdown. (drawdown in profits + $100), the MLL stops trailing and remains fixed at starting balance + $100. From that point forward, further account growth no longer raises the breach level.
− An example $50,000 Account - This account has $2,000 drawdown.
− When your Highest End of Day Balance reaches at least $52,100 (drawdown + $100)
− Result: Your Maximum Loss Limit locks at $50,100 and does not trail up anymore.
− Drawdown Lock Level
− Once you reach the threshold, the trailing drawdown (MLL) locks at Starting Balance + $100:
−
| Account Size | Maximum Loss Limit Locks at |
|---|---|
| $25K | $25,100 |
| $50K | $50,100 |
| $100K | $100,100 |
| $150K | $150,100 |
− After this point:
− - The drawdown (MLL) no longer trails upward, even if your Highest End of Day Balance grows.
− - Your account cannot fall below this locked level.
− Example (Evaluation Phase)
− On a $50,000 Evaluation Account:
− - Starting MLL Threshold: $48,000 ($50,000 – $2,000 drawdown).
− - Day 1: If you end the day at $51,500, your new MLL threshold for the next day becomes $49,500 ($51,500 – $2,000).
− What Happens When Funded?
− When you pass the evaluation and transition to a funded Elite ACCESS Intraday account:
- The drawdown model switches from End-of-Day (EOD) to Intraday Trailing Drawdown.
- An active Daily Loss Limit (DLL) also applies during the funded phase.
Section: What happens when funded
− Rule Violations
− If your account balance closes at or drops below your Maximum Loss Limit threshold during the evaluation phase:
− - The account will be permanently breached.
− - Trading access will be disabled.
− - A reset ($35) is required to re-attempt the evaluation phase.
− Summary
− - Evaluation Phase: Uses EOD Trailing Drawdown (updates only at market close).
− - Funded Phase: Switches to Intraday Trailing Drawdown + Daily Loss Limit.
− - Hard Breach: Hitting or dropping below the MLL results in account termination.

Section: What counts toward the DLL
− Daily Reset
− - The Daily Loss Limit resets once per day at the end-of-day rollover.
− - The new daily limit is based on your updated account balance.
− Rule Violations
− If the Daily Loss Limit is breached:
− - The account will be paused for the rest of the day.
− - Open positions will be automatically closed.
− - The account becomes active again after the market rollover period.
− Important Notes
− - The DLL applies only to funded accounts (the evaluation phase has no daily loss limit).
− - Funded accounts feature both a Daily Loss Limit and an Intraday Trailing Drawdown.
− - You must always account for floating drawdown, not just closed trades.
− Summary
− - Evaluation: No Daily Loss Limit.
− - Funded: DLL applies and must be respected at all times.
− - Violation: Breaching the DLL results in a Soft Breach (account paused until rollover).
+ You must always account for floating drawdown, not just closed trades.
+ Good to know
+ - The DLL applies only to funded accounts. The evaluation phase has no daily loss limit.
+ - Funded accounts have both a Daily Loss Limit and an Intraday Trailing Drawdown.
+ - Breaching the DLL results in a soft breach (paused until rollover), not a termination of the account.

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday - Buffer + Profit target (funded)
− Elite ACCESS Intraday – Buffer + Profit Target
− Funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts do not have a specific profit target to keep the account open, but they do have a minimum profit requirement before you can request a payout.
− To become payout eligible, your account must reach the required profit level above the payout buffer.
− Profit Target Required for Payout
−
| Account Size | Payout Buffer | Required Profit to Request Payout |
|---|
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | $3,500 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 | $5,000 |
Section: How it works
− How It Works
− Before requesting a payout, your account must first build the required buffer, plus an additional $500 in profit.
− This means:
- The buffer must remain in the account.
− - Only once your total profit exceeds the Buffer + $500 (minimum payout) threshold can you request a payout.
- This threshold is required for each payout request.
− Important Notes
− - Eligibility Threshold: This is not a profit target to pass the funded account, it is a profit threshold strictly for payout eligibility.
− - Risk Rule: Remember that funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts utilize an Intraday Trailing Drawdown.
− - Additional Payout Conditions: All other payout conditions besides the profit requirement must still be met in order to be eligible for a payout, this includes:
− - Minimum 5 profitable days
− - Meeting the minimum daily profit requirement
− - Respecting the 40% consistency rule
− - Following all the trading rules
− Example - Profit Requirement
− For a $50,000 Elite ACCESS Intraday funded account:
− - Payout Buffer: $2,000
− - Additional profit required: $500
− - Total profit needed before payout request: $2,500
− Summary
− To request a payout on Elite ACCESS Intraday funded accounts, your account must first reach:
− - $2,000 on $25K
− - $2,500 on $50K
− - $3,500 on $100K
− - $5,000 on $150K
− This is the minimum profit level required before a payout can be submitted (Assuming you've also reached the additional payout conditions).

Elite ACCESS Intraday – Contract Scaling Plan
Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday – Contract Scaling Plan
− The Contract Scaling Plan applies only to funded Elite ACCESS Intraday accounts. There are no scaling restrictions during the evaluation phase, where you are permitted to trade up to your full contract limit from day one.
− How Scaling Works
− Once your account is funded, your maximum contract size increases as your simulated account balance grows.
− - Evaluation Phase: You can trade your full contract limit immediately, no scaling rules apply.
− - Funded Phase: Your contract limit scales based on your account equity/profit milestones.
− Calculation: Allowed contract size updates based on your end-of-day (EOD) closing balance and takes effect the following trading day. Intraday equity spikes during active trading do not unlock higher scaling tiers mid-session.

− How Scaling is Calculated
− Your scaling level is determined by:
− - Your funded account closing balance
− - Your total simulated profit
− - Your end-of-day balance
− Contract increases are applied the following trading day once your closing balance qualifies.
− Important to Know:
− - Intraday profits do not unlock higher scaling tiers
− - Only end-of-day results are used
− Key Rules & Guidelines
− - Contract Micro-to-Mini Ratio: 1 Mini contract is equal to 10 Micro contracts. You can trade a mix of Minis and Micros as long as the combined total stays within your tier limit.
− - Daily Update: Allowed contract increases take effect the next trading day after your end-of-day closing balance qualifies for a higher tier.
− Exceeding Your Contract Limit
− It is your responsibility to monitor and follow the contract scaling rules at all times.
− Exceeding your allowed contract size is considered a rule violation.
− If scaling rules are not followed:
- Trades may be rejected or reduced
- The account may be flagged for review
- Profits from violating trades may be removed
- Payout requests may be denied
Compliance with scaling rules is required for payout eligibility.

+ How scaling is calculated
+ Your scaling level is determined by your funded account closing balance, your total simulated profit and your end-of-day equity. Contract increases are applied the following trading day once your closing balance qualifies.
+ - Intraday profits do not unlock a higher level.
+ - Only end-of-day results are used.
+ Trader responsibility
+ It is your responsibility to monitor and follow the contract scaling rules at all times. Exceeding your allowed contract size is a rule violation. If scaling rules are not followed:
- Trades may be rejected or reduced
- The account may be flagged for review
- Profits from violating trades may be removed
- Payout requests may be denied
Compliance with scaling rules is required for payout eligibility.
Section: Trader responsibility
+ Your contract limit is checked at the end of each trading day. A higher tier only applies from the next trading day after your closing balance qualifies.

Section: Elite ACCESS Intraday Accounts - Overview
− The Elite ACCESS Intraday Account is designed for traders who want a fast-track evaluation with simple rules, no daily loss limit during the Evaluation, lower activation fees, and consistent payout opportunities once funded. Just as with our standard Elite ACCESS accounts, the evaluation limit is 30 days.
− The primary difference between the regular Elite ACCESS account and the Elite ACCESS Intraday account is that the funded phase uses an Intraday Trailing Drawdown (while the evaluation phase retains End-of-Day drawdown) and features lower activation fees.
− Accounts Overview

|---|---|
| One-Time Fee | $39 |
| Evaluation Period Time Limit | 30 Days |

− - Respect the End of Day Trailing Drawdown (EOD)*
− - No daily loss limit applies
− - Pass the Evaluation in 1 day!
− Important notes
− - * Drawdown is based on EOD Trailing Drawdown (only for the challenge phase).
− - The Funded Phase of the Elite Access Intraday uses: Trailing Intra-Day Drawdown (TIDD) - This means your maximum allowable loss trails your highest intra-day equity - including open (unrealized) trades. It's tracked live, tick by tick in real-time.
- It is not fixed at the starting balance.
- It moves upward only as your equity hits new highs.
- It is based on the highest equity value during the day, not just closed trades.

Before
Section: Account Ownership and Registration Policies
To maintain a fair, secure, and compliant trading environment for all of our traders, we enforce strict rules regarding account registration and ownership. Please review these policies carefully before creating your profile.
Section: The single account policy
− The Single Account Policy
− We operate under a strict one account per user policy. Every trader is permitted to have only one registered profile within our system.
− All of your activities, including purchasing evaluations, taking Evaluations, and managing funded accounts, must be conducted through this single, original profile.
− Strictly Prohibited Actions
− To ensure the integrity of our platform, several actions are strictly forbidden. You may not register for more than one user profile under any circumstances. Creating new accounts using different email addresses to bypass rules, restart a Evaluation, or mask your identity is prohibited.
− You must also register using your own legal identity. You cannot create an account using the name of a friend, family member, or fictitious person. Furthermore, you must be the sole individual executing trades on your account. Sharing your login credentials or allowing a third party to trade on your behalf is not allowed.
− Identity Verification (KYC)
To enforce these policies, all traders must pass a Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process before receiving any payouts. Your registered profile name must exactly match your government issued ID. If we discover that your profile details do not match your legal identity, your account will fail the verification process.
Section: Consequences of policy violations
− Consequences of Policy Violations
− We actively monitor our platform for duplicate accounts and proxy trading. If our system or risk management team detects a violation of our registration rules, strict actions will be taken.
− All profiles and trading accounts associated with the user will be instantly breached and deactivated. Additionally, any accumulated profits or pending payouts across all connected accounts will be voided and forfeited. The user will then be permanently banned from using our services in the future.
− If you have lost access to your original email address or need to update your personal information, please do not create a new account. Instead, contact our support team directly for assistance in updating your existing profile.

Section: Are There IP Address Restrictions?
− Top One FuturesIP Address Monitoring and Security Policy:
− At Top One Futures safeguarding the integrity of our trading platform is a top priority. To maintain a secure and fair environment for all traders, we actively monitor IP address activity across all accounts. The following actions are considered violations of our security protocols:
− In short:
− Allowed:
− - Trading from different devices (mobile, desktop)
− - Using a VPS with a static IP (must notify support)
− - Traveling and trading (will require verification)
− Not Allowed:
− - Using multiple IPs on the same account frequently
− - Trading multiple accounts from the same IP.
− When is Proof of Travel Required?
If you relocate or trade from a different country, we will ask for additional verification to ensure account security. Always use a stable and consistent IP to avoid issues.
Section: IP address violations
− IP Address Violations:
− - Multiple IP Addresses on the Same Account: Using different IP addresses to access a single account may raise flags and be considered a violation.
− - Multiple Accounts from Similar IP Addresses: Trading from multiple accounts originating from the same or closely related IP addresses is not allowed.
− - Copying Trades Across Different Accounts: Identical trades placed across multiple accounts under different ownership will be flagged.
− - Hedging Across Multiple Accounts: Any form of hedging across multiple accounts, including accounts from other prop firms or brokers, is strictly prohibited.
− Recommendations for Secure Trading:
− We highly recommend that traders use a single device with a unique IP address for their trading activities to avoid any security concerns. For professional traders, utilizing a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with a static IP address can provide additional security and faster execution times. While we understand that you may trade from different devices (such as mobile or desktop) or while traveling, this may result in multiple IP addresses being associated with your account. This is generally acceptable, but in cases where you travel or relocate to another country, we may request additional verification documents for security purposes.
− Clarification on VPS and VPN Usage:
At Top One Futures, we permit the use of Virtual Private Servers (VPS) with static IP addresses for trading purposes. VPS usage is often preferred by professional traders as it provides stability and faster execution times. If you choose to use a VPS, please ensure it has a static IP address and notify us in advance to avoid any issues. To enable VPS usage for your trading account, please provide the following information:
Section: Clarification on VPS usage
− - IP Address of the VPS: This must be a static IP.
− - VPS Service Invoice: The invoice should include the VPS's IP address to verify that it is a legitimate service.
− - IP Registration: Ensure the VPS IP address is shared and registered with our team to avoid connection issues such as internal server errors when using specific platform features.
− Important Note on VPNs:
The use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) is not advised. VPNs allow users to switch locations, which can lead to false positives in our location-based security checks, resulting in potential account breaches. For this reason, using a VPN may trigger location violations and lead to account suspension or breaches. To avoid any issues, always use a stable and consistent IP address, such as through a VPS, and notify us of any planned changes in your trading environment, particularly if you are traveling or using a new VPS.
Section: Violations
− Violations:
Any serious violations of this IP policy will result in a breach of your account and forfeiture of any profits. We are committed to ensuring a safe and secure trading environment and use sophisticated fraud detection technology to monitor activity. We also maintain a global IP blacklist of fraudulent users and take action against anyone using third-party services like "pass your Evaluation" or account management companies. Violators will be blacklisted and may face legal action.
− Detailed VPS Compliance Guidelines:
− - Trading from different devices (mobile, desktop)
− - Using a VPS with a static IP (must notify support)
− - Traveling and trading (may require verification)
− - Registering your VPS IP address with our team to avoid technical issues linked to unregistered IPs.
− - Providing a VPS service invoice that verifies its use for your trading setup.
− Not Allowed: Using multiple IPs on the same account frequently Trading multiple accounts from the same IP Using a VPN (strictly prohibited) When is Proof of Travel Required?

Section: Prohibited Trading Practices
− Top One Futures Prohibited Trading Strategies & Platform Integrity
− At Top One Futures, our mission is to build a sustainable, secure, and trustworthy trading environment for serious traders who value opportunity and integrity. We are deeply committed to maintaining the long-term viability of our firm and the safety of our trading ecosystem.
To uphold these standards, we leverage advanced fraud detection technologies and robust compliance monitoring systems. Any trader found to be violating our rules or exploiting platform vulnerabilities will have their account breached and all associated profits forfeited. Any violations of these rules during the Elite Evaluation Phase might result in either a retake Evaluation being issued or a full breach of the account, depending on the severity of the violation.
Section: 1. Exploiting system, pricing, or latency errors
− 🚫 Prohibited Trading Practices
− The following activities are strictly forbidden across all Top One Futures accounts, regardless of account type or stage:
− 1. Exploiting System, Pricing, or Latency Errors
Any attempt to take advantage of errors, delays, mispricings, or lags in the broker's feed, the charting platform, or any associated systems will result in immediate account breach. This includes latency arbitrage and price manipulation.
Section: 2. Use of insider or non-public information
− 2. Use of Insider or Non-Public Information
Trading based on information not available to the general public, including insider news or confidential financial disclosures, is prohibited.
Section: 3. Front-running
− 3. Front-Running
− Placing trades with the intent to benefit from anticipated price movement based on trades executed elsewhere (e.g., in another account or at another firm) is not allowed.
− 4. Hedging Between Accounts
You may not hedge one account against another, whether within Top One Futures or across other prop firms or brokers. All trades must reflect independent trading strategies without cross-account hedging.
Section: 5. Unauthorized account access
− 5. Unauthorized Account Access
Only the registered account owner is permitted to trade. Allowing friends, family, or third parties to access or trade on your account violates this policy.
Section: 6. Minimum trade duration (10-second rule)
− 6. Minimum Trade Duration (10-Second Rule)
To protect against ultra-high-frequency scalping and promote responsible trading:
− - All trades must remain open longer than 10 seconds.
− - 10.00 seconds = violation, 10.01 seconds = acceptable.
- Closing any portion of a trade before 10 seconds violates this rule.
− - Adding to a trade (e.g., scaling in) within 10 seconds is permitted.
− Occasional minor violations are tolerable, but if:
− - anywhere close to 50% or more of your total and/or withdrawable profits
− - OR, anywhere close to 50% or more of your individual trades
− violate this rule, all profits associated with these trades will be removed.
− Examples:
− - ✅ Compliant: You open a trade and add more contracts after 5 seconds. You close everything after 15 seconds.
− - ❌ Violation: You open 2 contracts, close 1 after 5 seconds, and hold the other. This is considered a violation because part of the position was closed too soon.
− 7. Trading That Risks Broker Relationships
− Trading strategies or behaviors that may harm our broker relationships—such as abnormal flow, slippage targeting, or mass quote stuffing—are grounds for account closure.
− 8. Trading That May Create Regulatory Concerns
Any activity that could cause regulatory exposure for Top One Futures or our liquidity partners is not tolerated.
Section: 9. Externally marketed evaluation-passing strategies
− 9. Externally Marketed Evaluation-Passing Strategies
− Using any publicly available or purchased system advertised to help traders “pass Evaluation” is not allowed. All strategies must be developed and executed by the trader.
− 10. Rolling, Churning, or Gambling Accounts
Creating multiple evaluation accounts in a short period and using a batch-style approach, such as intentionally letting most accounts fail while focusing on passing just one, is strictly prohibited. Excessive account creation within a short timeframe, especially when done repeatedly, is considered manipulative and will be flagged by our systems.
Section: 10. Rolling, churning, or gambling accounts
− We do not support gambling behavior. This includes consistently breaching accounts within 24-48 hours of purchase and then immediately repurchasing new accounts, indicative of toxic trading strategies. Such actions are not indicative of consistency or skill but instead reflect reckless trading strategies intended to exploit asymmetric risk at scale. Traders engaging in this type of behavior are not aligned with our long-term vision and may be permanently disqualified.
− Examples of disqualifiable churning behavior include:
− - Purchasing multiple batch accounts and breaching newly purchased accounts within 1–2 days of trading and repeating the cycle.
− - Example Day 1: Trader purchased 9 accounts, all breached within 24 hours.
− - Example Day 2: Trader purchased 7 more accounts, again all breached within 24 hours.
− This shows no sustainable risk management or strategy and instead indicates a trial-and-error "gambling" style of trading. Attempting to maximize short-term sim funded payout potential through unsustainable trading approaches.
− 11. Arbitrage with Other Firms
Attempting to gain an advantage by arbitraging trades across Top One Futures and another firm or platform is prohibited.
Section: 12. Automated trading / Expert Advisors (EAs)
− 12. Automated Trading / Expert Advisors (EAs)
Use of any automated trading system, script, bot, Expert Advisor (EA), or high-frequency execution tool is strictly forbidden. All trades must be entered manually or semi-manually by the trader.
Section: 13. Copy trading or group trading
− 13. Copy Trading or Group Trading
Each trader must operate independently. The following are not allowed:
- Executing the same trades as another person or account
- Coordinated trading with relatives or friends
- Following signal services, Telegram groups, Discord calls, or any shared trade alert system
− Note on Copy Trading Between Firms:
− We understand that some traders now use third-party platforms to mirror their trades across multiple firms. While Top One Futures does not prohibit copy trading between your own accounts at different firms, all trade decisions must originate from activity on our platform. As long as your trades begin from your Top One Futures account and reflect your own strategy and discretion, this is acceptable. However, any behavior resembling signal following, group trading, or mirroring someone else’s trades remains strictly prohibited.
− Top One Futures expects unique strategies per trader, not correlated or synchronized actions.
− 14. Intentional Account Breaching (sim Farming)
Traders may not attempt to deliberately fail or breach funded accounts to avoid transitioning to live trading, remain on simulated accounts, or game system protections.
Section: 15. Maximum 3 funded accounts per household
− 15. Maximum 3 Funded Accounts Per Household
− We allow a maximum of three (3) Instant Sim or Elite Sim funded accounts per household, regardless of whether they belong to different individuals.
− For S2F PRO accounts this limit lays between 5-9 depending on the promotion active during purchase
− This means that no more than three Insant / elite sim funded accounts or more than 5-9 S2F sim PRO accounts are allowed at the same time. This limit applies to all account sizes.
− IMPORTANT: You are allowed to purchase more accounts, but you must contact our support who will pause your excessive accounts. If you trade or activate a 4th account, the oldest of your existing active accounts will be automatically breached and no refunds will be issued for that account. This rule is non-negotiable and enforced automatically by our system to maintain fairness and manage risk.
− ✅ Our Philosophy – Fairness for Serious Traders
Top One Futures is dedicated to supporting disciplined, honest, and skilled traders. We strive to offer:
- Transparent rules
- Rapid support
- Reliable execution
- Opportunities to grow and scale responsibly
Section: Our philosophy: fairness for serious traders
− Honest traders have nothing to worry about. If you trade fairly, follow the rules, and respect our community standards, we will stand behind you 100%.
− Those who seek to exploit the system or game the platform, however, will be swiftly detected—and consequences will apply without exception.
− 💬 Questions or Concerns?

+ 10. Rolling, churning, or gambling accounts
Creating multiple evaluation accounts in a short period and using a batch-style approach, such as intentionally letting most accounts fail while focusing on passing just one, is strictly prohibited.

Section: 10. Rolling, churning, or gambling accounts
+ We do not support gambling behavior. This includes consistently breaching accounts within 24 to 48 hours of purchase and then immediately repurchasing new accounts, indicative of toxic trading strategies.

Traders engaging in this type of behavior are not aligned with our long-term vision and may be permanently disqualified.
+ Example of disqualifiable churning behavior: purchasing multiple batch accounts and breaching newly purchased accounts within 1 to 2 days of trading and repeating the cycle. Day 1: trader purchased 9 accounts, all breached within 24 hours. Day 2: trader purchased 7 more accounts, again all breached within 24 hours. This shows no sustainable risk management or strategy and instead indicates a trial-and-error "gambling" style of trading, attempting to maximize short-term sim funded payout potential through unsustainable trading approaches.

+ 13. Copy trading or group trading
Each trader must operate independently. The following are not allowed:

Section: Path to Trading Live
− Top One Futures Path To Trading Live
− ✅ Clear Path to Live
− ✅ Daily Payouts
− ✅ No Maximum Withdrawal Limits
− ✅ Consistency Rule Removed
− ✅ Scale up to 5 Live Accounts
− The following outlines your path to becoming a live trader without any need to risk your own personal funds.
Transitioning to Pre-Live / Live
Section: Transitioning to Pre-Live / Live
− After 3 successful payouts from one sim funded account, a risk manager will review your account and either:
− - Keep you in the sim funded environment for further review
− - Transition you to a live account
− Note: Top One Futures may transition you to a live account sooner than your third payout depending on your trading history.
When transitioning to a live / pre-live account, all other accounts are temporarily disabled while the risk manager evaluates the trader's performance. Trading on sim funded accounts is not permitted during this review period.
Section: How do we move funds to Live / Pre-Live?
− How Do We Move Funds to Live / Pre Live?
− Rather than carrying over a capped amount of sim profits as was our previous policy, traders will receive live accounts (scaling up to 5, when you're fully on live stage) in proportion to the account size traded in sim with the following parameters.
−
| Live Acct Size | Starting Balance | MLL - EOD Drawdown | EOD Balance to Trigger DD Lock | Drawdown Lock | DLL | Max Contracts |
|---|
| $25K | $0 | $1,000 | $1,100 | $100 | None | 1 |
| $50K | $0 | $2,000 | $2,100 | $100 | None | 3 |
| $100K | $0 | $3,000 | $3,100 | $100 | None | 5 |
| $150K | $0 | $4,000 | $4,100 | $100 | None | 7 |
Section: What is the Pre-Live stage and why does it exist?
− What is the Pre-Live Stage and Why Does It Exist?
− Based on trader behavior and breach patterns, many successful SIM traders struggle with the psychological transitioning to live trading.
− To bridge that gap, we created the Pre-Live stage. An opportunity for you to continue earning sim profits with the same benefits of the live program, while making the shift to trading fully live capital.
The Pre-Live environment allows us to:
− - Assess how a trader handles live-market psychology and risk management under real-time pressure with the same starting balance as their sim-account.
− - Protect firm capital from immediate exposure to high-risk behavior
− - Smooth out the Live transition by evaluating traders in a realistic yet controlled setting
− What Traders Gain in Pre-Live:
− Trader receives all these benefits trading a Pre-Live Account:
− - The same drawdown levels and contract sizing as live
− - No Consistency Rule
− - No Daily Loss Limit
− - Daily Payouts: Payouts are available every 24-hours after the previous payout is approved. (Minimum payout = $200)
− - 80/20 Profit Splits
− - Withdraw-able profits are profits created in excess of your starting balance.
− Contract Scaling Plan Pre Live / Live (Mini/Micos)

| $1,500 - $1,999 | - | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 |
| $2,000 - $2,999 | - | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
| $3,000 - $4,499 | - | - | 5 / 50 | 6 / 60 |
| $4,500+ | - | - | - | 7 / 70 |
− What Comes Next?

| Live Account Size | Max Withdrawals | Transition to Fully Live |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | $2,000 | ✅ |
| $50K | $4,000 | ✅ |

− However, during this stage:
- Trading is only allowed on ONE Evaluation account (no sim funded)
- No payouts can be requested from newly purchased Evaluation accounts
- Progression to a Funded account is restricted until you exit Pre-Live/Live
Moving from Pre-Live to Live
Traders will start with one (1) live account. Based on the number of qualifying sim accounts, traders will receive another live account each time the previously granted live account reaches the following balance:
Section: Moving from Pre-Live to Live

|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,100 | ✅ |

− Should the Trader breach their Pre-Live or Live account, there is a mandatory 3-week cooling off period before new sim accounts are available to be purchased and Trader may purchase and trade one sim-funded account at a time.
− Frequently Asked Questions
How many payouts do I need before I can go live?
Section: Frequently asked questions
− For most accounts, you need 3 successful payouts.
− Elite Daily accounts are the exception and require 5 successful payouts.
− In some cases a trader may be transitioned to a Live Account sooner, but the numbers above are the standard requirement.
If I get selected to move to live, can I choose to stay in Sim Funding?
No. If you are selected to move to live, your options are to begin trading live or to close your Sim Funded account. You may not voluntarily close your live account and move back to Sim. Sim trading should be seen as a gateway to trading live, having your consistency rule removed, receiving unlimited payouts, and scaling your capital. Any attempts to intentionally breach accounts to remain in Sim is strictly prohibited and may result in having trading privileges revoked.
− What are the Benefits of trading a Live Account versus Sim?
− If you are selected to move to trading live, you have the ability to earn an unlimited income with no withdrawal limits as a professional trader. Not only will your consistency rule be removed, you’ll have the ability to withdraw profits every 24 hours.
How long does it take to receive my live account?
− Once you’ve been approved to move to live, your live account will be set up with the broker in 2-3 weeks.
What is the minimum withdrawal?
The minimum withdrawal amount is $200.
Can I withdraw from my starting balance?
− No. Withdrawals are available from profits created on top of your starting balance.
− Example: On a live account, you will start with a $0 balance. You must have a positive balance in order to withdraw.
− Can I purchase or continue to trade an Evaluation account or Sim Funded Account if I’m trading in a live account?
− No, once you are trading live, you may not purchase additional accounts unless you are in the Pre-Live stage.
− If you are in the Pre-Live stage, you may purchase and trade on one Evaluation account. However:
− - You will not be eligible for payouts on that Evaluation account
− - You will not be able to upgrade to a SIM Funded account while in Pre-Live
− What will happen to my Sim Funded Accounts when I'm in a live account?
If you have an active account when you transition to a Live Account, that account will be closed.
What if I lose my live account?
Should you lose your Live Account, the risk management team will determine the appropriate next steps for the trader, based on their trading activities across all accounts associated with their profile.
− What are the costs in the Live Account?
There are no account or platform costs in live, but as a live trader, you are responsible for the professional market data. You will need to subscribe to receive Professional Data Subscription(s). Top One Futures does not make a profit on these data fees. Our trading platform charges us these fees that are passed along to you as the trader.
− - CME Exchange - $140/mo
− - NYMEX Exchange - $140/mo
− - COMEX Exchange - $140/mo
− - CBOT Exchange - $140/mo
− (Most traders chose one exchange, but you may subscribe to multiple.)
− Note: This is only available for Live Accounts, we don't offer professional or Level 2 data on SIM Accounts.
− Am I trading real capital once I go live?
− Yes, Top One Futures does provide access to real capital, but most traders will first be placed in a pre-live trading environment that mirrors their Sim Funded account conditions. This stage is designed to validate consistent, disciplined performance.

+ Frequently asked questions
How many payouts do I need before I can go live?
Section: Frequently asked questions
+ For most accounts, you need 3 successful payouts. Elite Daily accounts are the exception and require 5 successful payouts. In some cases a trader may be transitioned to a Live Account sooner, but the numbers above are the standard requirement.
If I get selected to move to live, can I choose to stay in Sim Funding?
No. If you are selected to move to live, your options are to begin trading live or to close your Sim Funded account. You may not voluntarily close your live account and move back to Sim. Sim trading should be seen as a gateway to trading live, having your consistency rule removed, receiving unlimited payouts, and scaling your capital. Any attempts to intentionally breach accounts to remain in Sim is strictly prohibited and may result in having trading privileges revoked.
+ What are the benefits of trading a Live account versus Sim?
+ If you are selected to move to trading live, you have the ability to earn an unlimited income with no withdrawal limits as a professional trader. Not only will your consistency rule be removed, you will have the ability to withdraw profits every 24 hours.
How long does it take to receive my live account?
+ Once you have been approved to move to live, your live account will be set up with the broker in 2 to 3 weeks.
What is the minimum withdrawal?
The minimum withdrawal amount is $200.
Can I withdraw from my starting balance?
+ No. Withdrawals are available from profits created on top of your starting balance. Example: on a live account, you will start with a $0 balance. You must have a positive balance in order to withdraw.
+ Can I purchase or continue to trade an Evaluation account or Sim Funded account if I am trading in a live account?
+ No, once you are trading live, you may not purchase additional accounts unless you are in the Pre-Live stage. If you are in the Pre-Live stage, you may purchase and trade on one Evaluation account. However, you will not be eligible for payouts on that Evaluation account, and you will not be able to upgrade to a SIM Funded account while in Pre-Live.
+ What will happen to my Sim Funded accounts when I am in a live account?
If you have an active account when you transition to a Live Account, that account will be closed.
What if I lose my live account?
Should you lose your Live Account, the risk management team will determine the appropriate next steps for the trader, based on their trading activities across all accounts associated with their profile.
+ What are the costs in the Live account?
There are no account or platform costs in live, but as a live trader, you are responsible for the professional market data. You will need to subscribe to receive Professional Data Subscription(s). Top One Futures does not make a profit on these data fees. Our trading platform charges us these fees that are passed along to you as the trader.

Transitioning to Pre-Live / Live
Section: Transitioning to Pre-Live / Live
− After 3 successful payouts from one sim funded account, a risk manager will review your account and either:
− - Keep you in the sim funded environment for further review
− - Transition you to a live account
− Note: Top One Futures may transition you to a live account sooner than your third payout depending on your trading history.
+ After 3 successful payouts from one sim funded account, a risk manager will review your account and either keep you in the sim funded environment for further review, or transition you to a live account. Top One Futures may transition you to a live account sooner than your third payout depending on your trading history.
When transitioning to a live / pre-live account, all other accounts are temporarily disabled while the risk manager evaluates the trader's performance. Trading on sim funded accounts is not permitted during this review period.
Section: How do we move funds to Live / Pre-Live?
− How Do We Move Funds to Live / Pre Live?
− Rather than carrying over a capped amount of sim profits as was our previous policy, traders will receive live accounts (scaling up to 5, when you're fully on live stage) in proportion to the account size traded in sim with the following parameters.

Section: What is the Pre-Live stage and why does it exist?
− What is the Pre-Live Stage and Why Does It Exist?
− Based on trader behavior and breach patterns, many successful SIM traders struggle with the psychological transitioning to live trading.
− To bridge that gap, we created the Pre-Live stage. An opportunity for you to continue earning sim profits with the same benefits of the live program, while making the shift to trading fully live capital.
+ What is the Pre-Live stage and why does it exist?

To bridge that gap, we created the Pre-Live stage: an opportunity for you to continue earning sim profits with the same benefits of the live program, while making the shift to trading fully live capital.
The Pre-Live environment allows us to:
− - Assess how a trader handles live-market psychology and risk management under real-time pressure with the same starting balance as their sim-account.
− - Protect firm capital from immediate exposure to high-risk behavior
− - Smooth out the Live transition by evaluating traders in a realistic yet controlled setting
− What Traders Gain in Pre-Live:
− Trader receives all these benefits trading a Pre-Live Account:
− - The same drawdown levels and contract sizing as live
− - No Consistency Rule
− - No Daily Loss Limit
− - Daily Payouts: Payouts are available every 24-hours after the previous payout is approved. (Minimum payout = $200)
− - 80/20 Profit Splits
− - Withdraw-able profits are profits created in excess of your starting balance.

Section: Contract scaling plans (funded accounts only)
− Contract Scaling Plans (Funded Accounts Only)
Scaling applies only to funded accounts. There are no scaling restrictions during the evaluation phase, where you can use your full contract allocation from day one.
Section: How scaling works
− How Scaling Works
Once your account is funded, your maximum contract size increases as your account grows. Your allowed contract size is determined by your end-of-day (EOD) closing balance and updates once per day.
− Key Principles
− - Scaling applies only to funded accounts
− - Contract limits update once per day (EOD)
− - Scaling is based on simulated profits
− - Traders must stay within their allowed contract size at all times
− - Intraday profits do not unlock higher tiers. Only end-of-day results count
− - Contract increases apply the following trading day once your closing balance qualifies

Section: Important clarifications on scaling
− Important Clarifications on Scaling
- Scaling applies per individual account
- Contract limits do not combine across multiple accounts
- Scaling is based on simulated profit only
- Limits are determined using your end-of-day balance
- Scaling does not override other risk rules, such as the Daily Loss Limit or the Trailing Drawdown
Section: What does "max contracts" mean?
− What Does "Max Contracts" Mean?
− The "max contracts" rule ensures you trade within safe limits for your account. Minis are standard futures contracts, while micros are one-tenth the size of minis.
− You can trade minis, micros, or a combination of both, as long as you stay within your limit.
Example: on a $50,000 Elite ACCESS funded account at full allocation, you can trade up to 3 minis, 30 micros, or a combination such as 2 minis and 10 micros.
− ⚠️ Always check the table for your specific account type. Contract limits are not the same across all programs. A $50,000 S2F Sim Pro account allows 4 minis, while a $50,000 Elite or Instant Sim Funded account allows 3 minis.
− Staying within these limits helps manage risk and keep your account compliant. It is the trader's personal responsibility to monitor and follow the clearly outlined contract scaling rules.
− Exceeding Your Contract Limit
− Exceeding your allowed contract limit is considered a rule violation.
− If the contract scaling rules are not followed:
- Trades may be rejected or reduced
- The account may be flagged for review
- Profits generated while exceeding contract limits may be removed
- Payout requests may be deemed ineligible
Compliance with scaling rules is mandatory for payout eligibility.
Section: Special note on Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT)
− ⚠️ Special Note on Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT):
Due to the significantly higher volatility and leverage associated with cryptocurrency futures, we have implemented separate max contract limits specifically for Micro Bitcoin Futures (MBT):
− - $25,000 account – Max 1 Micro Bitcoin contract
− - $50,000 account – Max 3 Micro Bitcoin contracts, depending on account type
− - $100,000 account – Max 5 Micro Bitcoin contracts, depending on account type
− - $150,000 account – Max 7 Micro Bitcoin contracts, depending on account type
− These limits are in place to better protect traders from the rapid price swings and amplified risk that come with trading crypto derivatives.

What is the Inactivity Rule?
Section: What is the Inactivity Rule?
− All traders must place at least one trade every 14 calendar days to keep their account in good standing.
− - This means any one trade (entry and exit) must occur within a 14-day window, starting from your most recent trade.
− - The 14-day window includes weekends and holidays, not just business days.
− What happens if I don’t trade for 14 days?
If no trades are placed within any 14-day period:
- Your account will be marked inactive.
- The account will receive a hard breach and be closed permanently.
- All progress and profits on the account will be lost.
Section: What happens if I don't trade for 14 days?
− Example: If your last trade was on April 1st, you must place your next trade no later than April 15th to avoid being breached for inactivity.
− Tips to Avoid Inactivity
− - Set a reminder on your phone or calendar every 10–12 days.
- Even one small trade (meeting our 10-second minimum) is enough to stay active.
Section: Tips to avoid inactivity
− - Don’t wait until the last minute—give yourself a buffer.

What is the Inactivity Rule?
Section: What is the Inactivity Rule?
− All traders must place at least one trade every 14 calendar days to keep their account in good standing.
− - This means any one trade (entry and exit) must occur within a 14-day window, starting from your most recent trade.
− - The 14-day window includes weekends and holidays, not just business days.
− What happens if I don’t trade for 14 days?
+
| Rule detail | How it works |
|---|
+ Requirement | At least one trade (entry and exit) must occur within a 14-day window, starting from your most recent trade
+ Counting days | The 14-day window includes weekends and holidays, not just business days
+ What happens if I don't trade for 14 days?
If no trades are placed within any 14-day period:
- Your account will be marked inactive.
- The account will receive a hard breach and be closed permanently.
- All progress and profits on the account will be lost.
Section: What happens if I don't trade for 14 days?
− Example: If your last trade was on April 1st, you must place your next trade no later than April 15th to avoid being breached for inactivity.
− Tips to Avoid Inactivity
− - Set a reminder on your phone or calendar every 10–12 days.
+ Example: if your last trade was on April 1st, you must place your next trade no later than April 15th to avoid being breached for inactivity.
+ Tips to avoid inactivity
+ - Set a reminder on your phone or calendar every 10 to 12 days.
- Even one small trade (meeting our 10-second minimum) is enough to stay active.
Section: Tips to avoid inactivity
− - Don’t wait until the last minute—give yourself a buffer.
+ - Do not wait until the last minute, give yourself a buffer.
+ Please note: an inactivity breach is permanent. Keep your account active with at least one trade every 14 calendar days.

− What Is the Minimum Trade Time Rule?
− Trades must remain open for a minimum of 10 seconds across all account types, including Elite Evaluation, Elite Sim Funded, and Instant Funded Accounts.
We understand traders may accidentally close a trade early, or may need to exit a trade sooner than 10 seconds. This rule is in place to promote strategic trading and prevent ultra-high-frequency scalping techniques that do not align with our trading model.
If our risk team sees that ultra-high-frequency trades are excessive, our risk team reserves the right to remove profits based on trades closed in under 10 seconds.
Section: How does this rule work?
− How Does This Rule Work?
− - Every trade you open must remain active for at least 10 seconds before closing.
− - If a trade is closed before the 10-second mark, it may not count toward progress in an evaluation account or could result in a rule violation for sim funded traders.
− - This rule applies to all trading instruments and account sizes at Top One Futures.
− Final Thoughts
− The 10-second minimum trade rule at Top One Futures is designed to encourage traders to develop sustainable strategies while maintaining a fair trading environment. Take your time, trade with intention, and build consistency for long-term success!

Before
Section: Copy Trading Policy
− Top One Futures allows you to copy trades to manage multiple accounts efficiently. However, to maintain risk integrity, copy trading is strictly limited to accounts of the exact same type and exact same size.
− Mixing different account programs, sizes, or trying to bypass these rules through manual mirroring or correlated assets is a strict violation of our terms.
− 1. The Core Rule: Same Type, Same Size
You can only copy trades between accounts that belong to the identical program and share the same size.
Section: 1. The core rule: same type, same size
− - Allowed Examples: Elite Access $50K to another Elite Access $50K, or Ignite Instant Funding $100K to another Ignite Instant Funding $100K.
− - Prohibited Examples (including, but not limited to):
− - Trading Elite Access with Elite Daily (Different Type)
− - Trading Instant Sim Funded with Ignite Instant Funding (Different Type)
− - An Instant Sim Funded $50K account with an Instant Sim Funded $100K account (Different Size)
− 2. What Counts as Prohibited Copy Trading?
Copy trading violations are not just limited to software settings. The following actions are classified as unauthorized copy trading:
Section: 2. What counts as prohibited copy trading?
− A. Copying Different Accounts or Sizes Together
− Using a trade copier to link, bridge, or trade different account types or different account sizes together at the same time.
− B. Manual Mirroring (Delayed Entries)
− Manually entering the same trade across different account types or sizes to copy your own positions. If you buy or sell the same instrument across mismatched accounts, even if it is minutes or an hour later, it is still classified as copy trading. As long as the position is still active on your first account and the different account size or type goes in the same direction as well, it is classified as copy trading.
− C. Correlated Asset Trading
− Trading the same direction on highly correlated assets across different account types or sizes. Highly correlated instruments move closely together, meaning trading them in the same direction simultaneously is a strict violation.
− - What IS considered Correlated (Prohibited) includes, but is not limited to:
− - Example: Trading ES (S&P 500) and NQ (Nasdaq), or YM (Dow Jones) and RTY (Russell 2000) in the same direction across mismatched accounts.
− - Mini and Micro Versions Example: Trading ES and MES, or NQ and MNQ in the same direction across mismatched accounts.
− - What IS NOT considered Correlated(Allowed):
− - Trading completely unrelated asset classes at the same time across different account types. For example, going long on NQ (Nasdaq) in your Instant Sim Funded account while simultaneously going long on CL (Crude Oil) or GC (Gold) in your Elite Daily account is acceptable.
− Examples of a Violation:
− You have an Instant Sim Funded account and an Elite Daily account. Opening a long position on ES in one account, and then opening a long position on NQ in the other account while the first position is still active, is a violation.
− You have an Ignite Instant Funding account and an Elite Access account. Opening a long position on GC in one account, and then opening a long position on SI in the other account while the first position is still active, is a violation.
− Does TOP ONE FUTURES provide its own trade copier software?
− Yes! We provide a trade copier feature built directly into our trading platform, Tradovate. You can set up and manage your trade copier configurations right from within the platform. For more information about Group Trading, refer to this FAQ article from Tradovate here.
− What does "Individual Trading Responsibility" mean for copy trading?
− It means that each trader must operate independently. Even if you're using our trade copier for your own accounts, certain actions are strictly not allowed because they violate the spirit of individual trading:
- Executing the same trades as another person or account.
- Coordinated trading with relatives or friends.
- Following signal services, Telegram groups, Discord calls, or any shared trade alert system.
- Subscribing to any service that results in mirrored trades across different accounts.
We expect unique strategies per trader, not correlated or synchronized actions between different individuals or entities.
Section: Note on copy trading between firms
− Note on Copy Trading Between Firms:
− We understand that some traders now use third-party platforms to mirror their trades across multiple firms. While Top One Futures does not prohibit copy trading between your own accounts at different firms, all trade decisions must originate from activity on our platform.
− As long as your trades begin from your Top One Futures account and reflect your own strategy and discretion, this is acceptable. However, any behavior resembling signal following, group trading, or mirroring someone else’s trades remains strictly prohibited.
− Your Responsibility for Copy Trading Adjustments and Outcomes
− Each trader is solely responsible for the configuration, supervision, and final outcomes of all trades executed via 3rd party copy trading software
− Scope of Responsibility:
− - Execution Errors: TOP ONE FUTURES is not responsible for trades that fail to copy, copy incorrectly, or execute at unintended times/sizes.
− - Account Outcomes: Any account loss or breach, including but not limited to Maximum Drawdown violations or Daily Loss Limit hits resulting from third-party software activity, is the sole responsibility of the trader.
− - No Reversals: We cannot void losses, reset accounts, or provide refunds for trades originated by external software, regardless of whether the trader manually initiated the trade or not.
− Pre-Trade Requirement: It is crucial that you test and verify your copy trading settings thoroughly in a simulated environment before active trading to ensure accurate replication and alignment with your risk management strategy.

Before
Section: What is the Limit for Funded Accounts Per Household?
− 📊 Maximum Funded Accounts Per Household
The limits below represent the maximum number of active funded accounts allowed per household. These limits apply to the entire household combined, that is, across every person living at the same address, not per individual trader.
− 💡 Example: A household may hold a maximum of 10 Ignite Funded accounts in total. This cap is shared by everyone in the home. If one member holds 6 Ignite Funded accounts, the remaining members can hold no more than 4 between them.
− The maximums for each account category are:
− - Elite Daily Funded: A maximum of 5 active accounts. All 5 must be the exact same account size.
− - Elite Access Funded: A maximum of 10 active accounts. All 10 must be the exact same account size.
− - Instant Sim Funded: A maximum of 3 accounts (100K or 150K sizes) OR a maximum of 5 accounts (25K or 50K sizes). All accounts in this category must be the exact same size, sizes cannot be mixed (e.g., all 25K, or all 50K, or all 100K).
− - Elite Sim Funded: A maximum of 3 accounts (100K or 150K sizes) OR a maximum of 5 accounts (25K or 50K sizes). All accounts in this category must be the exact same size, sizes cannot be mixed (e.g., all 25K, or all 50K, or all 100K).
− - Ignite Funded: A maximum of 10 active accounts. All 10 must be the exact same account size.
− 📌 Note: Some of the limits above reflect our current promotional account limits. During certain promotional periods we allow traders to hold more accounts than our standard limits, and this applies only to accounts purchased during that promotion. Please check our homepage for the account limits currently in effect.
− Total Capacity: Because each category has its own independent limit, a single household can hold a grand total of up to 35 active funded accounts at one time (when utilizing the 25K/50K limits for the Instant Sim and Elite Sim categories), or up to 31 when utilizing the 100K/150K limits for those categories.
− ⚠️ The Live Funded Account Restriction
− There is one critical exception to the limits above regarding Live Funded accounts:
− If any trader within a household has an active Top One Futures Live Funded account, NO additional Sim Funded accounts are allowed for that household whatsoever.
− This restriction is strictly enforced. If one person in your home transitions to a Live Funded account, no one else in the household may activate or trade on a Sim Funded account.
− 🚫 Copy Trading Restrictions
− While multiple individuals in a household can have their own accounts (subject to the limits above), copy trading between different users is strictly prohibited.
− This rule applies regardless of whether the users reside in the same household or not. Each trader must execute their own independent trading strategy. Copying trades from another person's account, even a family member or roommate, violates our Terms of Service and will result in the immediate closure of all associated accounts.
− ✅ Why Do We Have These Rules?
Household limits and copy trading restrictions are standard industry practices designed to protect the integrity of the trading ecosystem. They ensure a level playing field, maintain transparency, and prevent excessive multi-account manipulation or coordinated rolling/churning strategies from a single location.
Section: Why do we have these rules?
− It is the responsibility of the traders within the household to monitor their combined active account count and trading activity to ensure compliance with these limits.

− ✅ Why Do We Have These Rules?
+ Example: a household may hold a maximum of 10 Ignite Funded accounts in total. This cap is shared by everyone in the home. If one member holds 6 Ignite Funded accounts, the remaining members can hold no more than 4 between them.
+ Maximum funded accounts per household
+
| Account category | Maximum active accounts | Size rule |
|---|---|
| Elite Daily Funded | 5 | All 5 must be the exact same account size |
| Elite ACCESS Funded | 10 | All 10 must be the exact same account size |
+ Instant Sim Funded | 3 (100K or 150K sizes) or 5 (25K or 50K sizes) | All accounts must be the exact same size, sizes cannot be mixed (all 25K, or all 50K, or all 100K)
+ Elite Sim Funded | 3 (100K or 150K sizes) or 5 (25K or 50K sizes) | All accounts must be the exact same size, sizes cannot be mixed (all 25K, or all 50K, or all 100K)
+
| Ignite Funded | 10 | All 10 must be the exact same account size |
|---|
+ Note: some of the limits above reflect our current promotional account limits. During certain promotional periods we allow traders to hold more accounts than our standard limits, and this applies only to accounts purchased during that promotion. Please check our homepage for the account limits currently in effect, or ask our support team for the current promotional limits.
+ Total capacity: because each category has its own independent limit, a single household can hold a grand total of up to 35 active funded accounts at one time (when utilizing the 25K/50K limits for the Instant Sim and Elite Sim categories), or up to 31 when utilizing the 100K/150K limits for those categories.
+ The Live Funded account restriction
+ There is one critical exception to the limits above regarding Live Funded accounts: if any trader within a household has an active Top One Futures Live Funded account, no additional Sim Funded accounts are allowed for that household whatsoever. This restriction is strictly enforced. If one person in your home transitions to a Live Funded account, no one else in the household may activate or trade on a Sim Funded account.
+ Copy trading restrictions
+ While multiple individuals in a household can have their own accounts (subject to the limits above), copy trading between different users is strictly prohibited. This rule applies regardless of whether the users reside in the same household or not. Each trader must execute their own independent trading strategy. Copying trades from another person's account, even a family member or roommate, violates our Terms of Service and will result in the immediate closure of all associated accounts.
+ Why do we have these rules?
Household limits and copy trading restrictions are standard industry practices designed to protect the integrity of the trading ecosystem. They ensure a level playing field, maintain transparency, and prevent excessive multi-account manipulation or coordinated rolling/churning strategies from a single location.
Section: Why do we have these rules?
− It is the responsibility of the traders within the household to monitor their combined active account count and trading activity to ensure compliance with these limits.

− - $100,000 Account: $1,250
− How Is It Calculated?
− The Daily Loss Limit is a dynamic value calculated based on your previous day's closing balance.
− Let's use an example to illustrate:
− - Rule: The daily loss allowed is $625.
− - Previous Day's Close: Let's say you ended the previous day with a balance of $26,000.
− To find your breach level for the current day, you simply subtract the allowed loss from that balance:
− $26,000 (Previous Close) - $625 (Daily Loss) = $25,375
− This means that if your account's equity drops to $25,375 at any point during the current trading day, the system will automatically execute market orders to liquidate all of your open positions.
− ⚠️ Important Disclaimer:
− The Daily Drawdown Limit (DLL) is a risk management tool, not a stop loss. It should never be relied on to close your trades at a specific loss amount.
− Due to market volatility, slippage, and execution speed, the DLL can execute late, early, at a different price than you expect, or fail to trigger.
− If you want to control your risk as best as possible, you must place hard stop loss orders directly on your trades. Relying solely on the DLL can result in losing more than intended.
− Top One Futures is not responsible for any losses that exceed the daily drawdown limit. Any loss beyond your allowed threshold is the trader’s responsibility.
− What Happens If You Hit the Daily Drawdown?
− - Soft Breach: Trading is paused for the rest of the day.
− - Resume Trading: You can continue the next day, as long as your account hasn’t exceeded the Max Trailing Drawdown.
− - Note on Session Open: When the new trading session starts, account reactivation is not instantaneous. System processing may take up to 5-10 minutes before trading is re-enabled.
− How Is It Calculated?
− The Daily Loss Limit is a dynamic value calculated based on your previous day's closing balance.
− Let's use an example to illustrate:
− - Rule: The daily loss allowed is $625.
− - Previous Day's Close: Let's say you ended the previous day with a balance of $26,000.
− To find your breach level for the current day, you simply subtract the allowed loss from that balance: $26,000 (Previous Close) - $625 (Daily Loss) = $25,375
− This means that if your account's equity drops to $25,375 at any point during the current trading day, the system will automatically execute market orders to liquidate all of your open positions.

+ Session open | When the new trading session starts, account reactivation is not instantaneous. System processing may take up to 5 to 10 minutes before trading is re-enabled
+ X-Ultra exception | On X-Ultra accounts, reaching the DLL is a hard breach and the account fails immediately. See the X-Ultra Daily Loss Limit (DLL) article
+ How is it calculated?
+ The Daily Loss Limit is a dynamic value calculated from your previous day's closing balance. To find your breach level for the current day, subtract the allowed daily loss from that balance.
+
| Example | Value |
|---|---|
| Daily loss allowed | $625 |
| Previous day's close | $26,000 |
| Breach level for today | $26,000 - $625 = $25,375 |
+ If your account's equity drops to $25,375 at any point during the current trading day, the system will automatically execute market orders to liquidate all of your open positions.
+ Important disclaimer: the Daily Drawdown Limit (DLL) is a risk management tool, not a stop loss. It should never be relied on to close your trades at a specific loss amount. Due to market volatility, slippage, and execution speed, the DLL can execute late, early, at a different price than you expect, or fail to trigger. If you want to control your risk as best as possible, you must place hard stop loss orders directly on your trades. Relying solely on the DLL can result in losing more than intended. Top One Futures is not responsible for any losses that exceed the daily drawdown limit. Any loss beyond your allowed threshold is the trader's responsibility.

+ Trailing Drawdown on Instant Sim Funded Accounts: How It Works
+ How the end-of-day trailing drawdown works on Instant Sim Funded accounts, the starting drawdown per account size and where it locks.
+ Updated today
+ Table of contents
+ The trailing drawdown on Instant Sim Funded accounts is set at 3% to 4% of the starting balance. It tracks the highest account balance achieved by the end of the day (5:00 pm EST) and keeps you within acceptable risk limits.
+ Starting max drawdown per account size
+
| Account size | Instant Sim Funded (before 7/27/2026) | Instant Sim Funded 2.0 (on or after 7/27/2026) |
|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | $4,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 | $5,250 |
+ How the trailing works
+ - Dynamic calculation: the drawdown moves up as your account balance reaches new highs, but never moves down, even if your balance decreases.
+ - End of day: it is based on your highest closed balance at the end of the day (5:00 pm EST), ensuring clarity and fairness.
+ - Account breach: if your balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, the account is considered breached and closed.
+ When does the drawdown lock
+ Once your profit reaches the drawdown amount plus $100, the drawdown locks at your starting balance + $100 and no longer trails with your account growth.
+
| Account size | Drawdown amount | Balance to lock drawdown | Drawdown locks at |
|---|---|---|---|
| Instant Sim Funded (purchased before 7/27/2026) | | | | ||
| $25,000 | $1,000 | $26,100 | $25,100 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $52,100 | $50,100 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | $103,100 | $100,100 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 | $154,600 | $150,100 |
| Instant Sim Funded 2.0 (purchased on or after 7/27/2026) | | | | ||
| $25,000 | $1,000 | $26,100 | $25,100 |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | $52,100 | $50,100 |
| $100,000 | $4,000 | $104,100 | $100,100 |
| $150,000 | $5,250 | $155,350 | $150,100 |
+ Example ($50,000 account): your max drawdown is $2,000. Once your balance reaches $52,100, the drawdown locks at $50,100 and no longer trails.
+ The drawdown trails your highest end-of-day balance, never moves down, and locks at starting balance + $100 once your profit reaches the drawdown amount + $100. Falling below it is a breach.

Section: Consistency Rule in Instant Sim Funded Accounts Explained
− At Top One Futures, we prioritize disciplined and sustainable trading practices. One of our key risk management guidelines is the Consistency Rule, set at 20%. This FAQ will help clarify what this rule means and how it impacts your trading performance.
What is the Consistency Rule?
Section: What is the Consistency Rule?
− The Consistency Rule requires that no single trading day accounts for more than 20% of your total profits. After a payout is taken on an Instant Sim Funded account, your total profits reset, and the consistency rule begins again based on new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance rather than relying on one or two highly volatile trading sessions.
− Please Note: For the purposes of consistency rule calculation, a trading day ends at 5:00pm EST.
− How is the 20% Consistency Rule Calculated?
− The rule is based on your total profits over the entire period of having your account. No single day’s profit should exceed 20% of the total profits made.
− For example:
− - If your total profit is $10,000, then no single trading day should account for more than $2,000 (20% of $10,000).
− - If one of your trading days results in a $3,000 profit while your total profits are $10,000, you wouldn’t meet the consistency rule, and would not be eligible for a payout.
− Example: Passing the Consistency Rule
− Let’s say you’re trading a $100K account and earn the following profits:
−
| Trading Day | Profit |
|---|
| Day 1 | $1,800 |
| Day 2 | $2,000 |
| Day 3 | $1,900 |
| Day 4 | $2,000 |
| Day 5 | $2,300 |
Section: Example of a passing scenario
− Total Profit = $10,000
− Highest Day = $2,300
− Now calculate your consistency score:
− $2,300 ÷ $10,000 × 100 = 23%
− ❌ In this case, your highest day makes up exactly 23% of your total profit, which does not meet the consistency rule.
− If, on your next trading day, you profit $1,500. Now your total profits are $11,500.
− Total Profit = $11,500
− Highest Day = $2,300
− Now calculate your consistency score:
− $2,300 ÷ $11,500 × 100 = 20%
− ✅ In this case, your highest day makes up exactly 20% of your total profit, making you eligible for a payout.
− How Can I Ensure Compliance with the Consistency Rule?
− - Plan your trades carefully to avoid making excessive profits in a single day.
− - Spread your gains evenly over multiple trading days.
− - Avoid trading with high-risk or taking highly volatile trades that can lead to outsized profits.
− - Monitor your progress regularly to ensure no single trading day surpasses the 20% threshold.

What is the Consistency Rule?
Section: What is the Consistency Rule?
+ The Consistency Rule requires that no single trading day accounts for more than 20% of your total profits at the time of a payout request. Your consistency score is calculated as your highest profit day divided by your total profits, and it must be 20% or lower before a payout can be approved.
+
| Rule detail | How it works |
|---|---|
| Threshold | Highest profit day may be at most 20% of total profits |
| When it is checked | At the time of each payout request |
| After a payout | The consistency calculation resets and starts fresh |
| Trading day | Ends at 5:00 PM EST |
+ How is the Consistency Rule calculated?
+ Divide your highest profit day by your total profits. If your total profits are $10,000, your highest single trading day may not exceed $2,000 (20%). A day of $3,000 on the same total would be 30%, so the account would not yet be eligible for a payout. You would need to continue trading until total profits reach at least $15,000, bringing that day back to 20%.
+ Example of a passing scenario
+ A trader has the following profit days:
+
| Trading day | Profit |
|---|
| Day 1 | $1,800 |
| Day 2 | $2,000 |
| Day 3 | $1,900 |
| Day 4 | $2,000 |
| Day 5 | $2,300 |
Section: Example of a passing scenario
+
| Total | $10,000 |
|---|
+ The highest day is $2,300, which is 23% of $10,000, so the trader does not pass yet. After adding another $1,500 in profit (total $11,500), the $2,300 day drops to 20% and the account becomes eligible for a payout.
+ Tips to stay within the rule
+ - Plan your trades: avoid chasing oversized gains on a single day.
+ - Spread your gains: consistent, moderate profits across multiple days keep your score low.
+ - Avoid high risk exposure: large positions can produce one outsized day that blocks your payout.
+ - Monitor your score: track your highest day against your total profits before requesting a payout.
+ Please note: the Consistency Rule does not fail or close your account. If your highest day exceeds 20% of total profits, simply keep trading with consistent results until the ratio is back at 20% or lower, then request your payout.
