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) |

| $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.

▸ View exact changes
The change in place, line by line
Before
Section: 📈 Instant Sim Funded Account: Payout Requirements
− 1. The Profit Target (Dynamic)
− You must reach a specific profit target to be eligible for each payout. This target is dynamic, meaning it changes for your first three payouts to encourage consistent growth.
− - First Payout: You must make 6% of your initial account balance.
− - Second Payout: You must make 5% on top of your new balance (after the first payout is deducted).
− - Third Payout (and all future payouts): You must make 4% on top of your new balance (after the previous payout is deducted).
− Example using a $50,000 Account:
− - For Your First Payout:
− - Target: 6% of $50,000 = $3,000
− - You must grow your account balance to $53,000.
− - For Your Second Payout:
− - You reach $53,000 and request a $1,500 payout. Your account balance is now $51,500 ($53,000 - $1,500).
− - Target: 5% of $51,500 = $2,575
− - You must grow your new balance to $54,075 ($51,500 + $2,575).
− - For Your Third Payout:
− - You request another $1,000 payout. Your account balance is now $53,075 ($54,075 - $1,000).
− - Target: 4% of $53,075 = $2,123
− - You must grow your new balance to $55,198 ($53,075 + $2,123).
− 2. 20% Consistency Rule
− This is a key performance metric. 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 20% 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 $3,000.
− - Your single best day was $500.
− - Calculation: ($500 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 16.7%
− - Result: You PASS (16.7% is less than 20%).
− Example 2: (FAIL)
− - You reach a total profit of $3,000
− - Your single best day was $1,500.
− - Calculation: ($1,500 ÷ $3,000) * 100 = 50%
− - Result: You FAIL (50% is greater than 20%).
− "I failed... how do I fix my score?"
− If your score is too high, you must "fix" your score by accumulating more profits. You need to make that best day equal 20% of a new, larger total profit.
− - Using Example 2:
− - Your best day is $1,500.
− - To find the profit target you need: $1,500 ÷ 0.20 = $7,500
− - You must grow your total profit to $7,500 (without having another day better than $1,500) to meet the 20% rule.
− 3. Maximum Payout Amount
− To ensure consistent growth and risk management, there is a maximum amount you can withdraw per payout request. This limit is based on your account size.
− Instant Sim Funded Accounts (purchased before 7/27/2026)
− - $25,000 Account – Max $1,500 per withdrawal
− - $50,000 Account – Max $2,500 per withdrawal
− - $100,000 Account – Max $3,000 per withdrawal
− - $150,000 Account – Max $3,500 per withdrawal
− Instant Sim Funded Accounts 2.0 (Purchased on and after 7/27/2026)
− - $25,000 Account – Max $1,000 per withdrawal
− - $50,000 Account – Max $2,000 per withdrawal
− - $100,000 Account – Max $2,500 per withdrawal
− - $150,000 Account – Max $3,000 per withdrawal
− For more details, you can find additional information about the Maximum Payout Limits here.
− If your profit exceeds this amount, you can simply request the maximum, and the remaining profit will stay in your account to be withdrawn in a future payout request or as buffer.

+ The three payout requirements on Instant Sim Funded accounts: the dynamic profit target, the 20% Consistency Rule, and the maximum payout amount.
+ Updated today
+ Table of contents
+ Congratulations on your Instant Sim Funded Account! To be eligible to request a payout, you must meet three key requirements: the dynamic profit target, the 20% Consistency Rule, and the maximum payout amount for your account size. This article walks through each one with examples.
+ 1. The profit target (dynamic)
+ You must reach a specific profit target to be eligible for each payout. This target is dynamic: it changes for your first three payouts to encourage consistent growth.
+
| Payout | Profit target |
|---|
+ First payout | 6% of your initial account balance
+ Second payout | 5% on top of your new balance (after the first payout is deducted)
+ Third payout and all future payouts | 4% on top of your new balance (after the previous payout is deducted)
+ Example using a $50,000 account
+
| Step | Calculation | Balance to reach |
|---|---|---|
| First payout | | | |
| Target | 6% of $50,000 = $3,000 | $53,000 | |
| Second payout | | | |
| Payout requested | $1,500 payout from $53,000 | New balance $51,500 | |
| Target | 5% of $51,500 = $2,575 | $54,075 | |
| Third payout | | | |
| Payout requested | $1,000 payout from $54,075 | New balance $53,075 | |
| Target | 4% of $53,075 = $2,123 | $55,198 |
+ 2. The 20% Consistency Rule
+ This is a key performance metric. It ensures that your profits are earned steadily rather than from a single "lucky" day.
+
| Rule detail | How it works |
|---|
+ The rule | Your single best trading day cannot account for more than 20% of your total accumulated profit at the time of your payout request
+ The formula | (Best day profit / Total profit) x 100 = your consistency score
+ Consistency examples
+
| Example | Total profit | Best day | Score | Result |
|---|---|
| Example 1 | $3,000 |
| $500 | 16.7% | PASS (below 20%) |
| Example 2 | $3,000 | $1,500 | 50% | FAIL (above 20%) |
+ "I failed, how do I fix my score?"
+ If your score is too high, you fix it by accumulating more profit. Your best day needs to equal 20% of a new, larger total profit. Using Example 2: your best day is $1,500, so $1,500 / 0.20 = $7,500. You must grow your total profit to $7,500 (without having another day better than $1,500) to meet the 20% rule.
+ 3. Maximum payout amount
+ To ensure consistent growth and risk management, there is a maximum amount you can withdraw per payout request. This limit is based on your account size and on when the account was purchased.
+
| Account size | Max per payout |
|---|---|
| Instant Sim Funded Accounts (purchased before 7/27/2026) | |
| $25,000 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $3,500 |

|---|---|
| $50,000 | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $2,500 |
| $150,000 | $3,000 |
+ For more details, see Maximum Payout Until Live Explained.
+ Please note: if your profit exceeds the maximum payout amount, you can simply request the maximum. The remaining profit stays in your account to be withdrawn in a future payout request or to serve as a buffer.

+ "I failed, how do I fix my score?"
+ If your score is too high, you fix it by accumulating more profit. Your best day needs to equal 20% of a new, larger total profit. Using Example 2: your best day is $1,500, so $1,500 / 0.20 = $7,500. You must grow your total profit to $7,500 (without having another day better than $1,500) to meet the 20% rule.
+ 3. Maximum payout amount
+ To ensure consistent growth and risk management, there is a maximum amount you can withdraw per payout request. This limit is based on your account size and on when the account was purchased.
+
| Account size | Max per payout |
|---|---|
| Instant Sim Funded Accounts (purchased before 7/27/2026) | |
| $25,000 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $3,500 |
+ Instant Sim Funded Accounts 2.0 (purchased on and after 7/27/2026) |
+
| $25,000 | $1,000 |
|---|---|
| $50,000 | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $2,500 |
| $150,000 | $3,000 |
+ For more details, see Maximum Payout Until Live Explained.
+ Please note: if your profit exceeds the maximum payout amount, you can simply request the maximum. The remaining profit stays in your account to be withdrawn in a future payout request or to serve as a buffer.

Section: Overview of the Instant Sim Funded Program
− Top One Futures’ Instant Sim Funded Program is designed for traders who want to skip the evaluation phase and start trading immediately with a funded simulation account. This program offers fast access to capital, along with structured risk management rules to promote long-term consistency and success. Here’s a complete breakdown of how it works:
− 📌 Which rules apply to your account?
− - Purchased before July 27, 2026? Your account falls under our original parameters. Look for the (purchased before 7/27/2026) sections below.
− - Purchased on or after July 27, 2026? Your account falls under the updated Instant Sim Funded 2.0 rules. Look for the (purchased on and after 7/27/2026) sections below.
− 1. No Evaluation, Instant Access
− The Instant Sim Funded Program gives traders immediate access to a sim-funded account, no need to pass an Evaluation first. You choose your account size and can begin trading right away under real market conditions with built-in risk parameters.
− 2. Drawdown Rules:
− Max Trailing Drawdown
- It trails your highest closed balance but never moves down.
- If your balance falls below the trailing drawdown level, the account is breached and closed.
Section: Max trailing drawdown
− Instant Sim Funded (purchased before 7/27/2026): Starting Max Drawdown by Account Size:
− - $25,000 → $1,000
− - $50,000 → $2,000
− - $100,000 → $3,000
− - $150,000 → $4,500
− - Instant Sim Funded 2.0 purchased on and after 7/27/2026): Starting Max Drawdown by Account Size:
− - $25,000 → $1,000
− - $50,000 → $2,000
− - $100,000 → $4,000
− - $150,000 → $5,250
− 3. Drawdown Lock
− Once your profits reach the drawdown amount plus $100, your trailing drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance and no longer follows account growth. This provides more stability and reduces the risk of losing access to the account as you scale.
− Examples:
− - $50K account → Lock occurs at $52,100; drawdown locks at $50,100.
− - $100K account → Lock occurs at $104,100; drawdown locks at $100,100.
− This lock also activates after your first payout.
− 4. Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
− The Daily Loss Limit is set between 2.0% – 2.5% of your initial account balance for legacy accounts. This drawdown parameter helps manage risk and promotes responsible trading habits. Exceeding this limit will result in an account breach.
− Here is the Daily Loss Limit breakdown by account size:
− Instant Sim Funded Daily Loss Limit (purchased before 7/27/2026):
−
| Account Size | Daily Loss Limit (DLL) |
|---|---|
| $25,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $625 |
| $50,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $1,250 |
| $100,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $2,500 |
| $150,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $3,750 |
− Instant Sim Funded 2.0 Daily Loss Limit (purchased on and after 7/27/2026):
−
| Account Size | Daily Loss Limit (DLL) |
|---|---|
| $25,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $625 |
| $50,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $1,250 |
| $100,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $2,500 |
| $150,000 Instant Sim Funded Account | $3,000 |
− 5. Consistency Rule: To be eligible for a payout, your consistency score must be 20% or lower
− To qualify for payouts, your trading must reflect steady, disciplined performance. No single day’s profit may exceed 20% of your total profits.
− After a payout is taken from an Instant Sim Funded account, the consistency score is reset, and the consistency rule is then applied to new profits moving forward. This ensures that traders demonstrate steady performance rather than relying on one or two highly volatile trading sessions.
− All the information regarding the consistency rule on Instant Sim Funded Accounts can be found here.
− Example: If your total profit is $10,000, no single trading day should exceed $2,000 in profit.
− This rule encourages balanced trading instead of relying on a single high-risk session.
− Please Note: For the purposes of consistency rule calculation, a trading day ends at 5:00pm EST.
− 6. No Contract Scaling Requirements
− There are no scaling rules in the Instant Sim Funded Program. You are allowed to use the full contract limit for your account size from day one. Choose an account size that fits your trading style and strategy.
− 7. Maximum Payout Caps on Instant Sim Funded Accounts
− The maximum amount you can withdraw in a single payout is based on your account size:
− Instant Sim Funded Accounts (purchased before 7/27/2026)
− - $25,000 Account – Max $1,500 per withdrawal
− - $50,000 Account – Max $2,500 per withdrawal
− - $100,000 Account – Max $3,000 per withdrawal
− - $150,000 Account – Max $3,500 per withdrawal
− Instant Sim Funded Accounts 2.0 (Purchased on and after 7/27/2026)
− - $25,000 Account – Max $1,000 per withdrawal

Elite ACCESS – Daily Progression Rule (50%)
Section: Elite ACCESS – Daily Progression Rule (50%)

− For every payout request:
− - At least 50% of the requested payout amount must come from profits generated since your last payout

− - The rule does not apply to your first payout
− - You may withdraw any eligible profits once all payout requirements are met
− Subsequent Payouts
− From your second payout onward:
− - A minimum of 50% must come from new profits
− - Only profits made after your last payout are considered “new”
Example
Section: Example
− Scenario
− - First payout: $2,000
− - After payout, account continues trading
− Next payout request: $2,000
− Requirement

Section: Elite ACCESS – Funded Consistency Rule (40%)
− Elite ACCESS – 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.
− 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
− Example (Valid)
− - Total Profit: $5,000
− - Largest Winning Day: $2,000
− Consistency = 40% → Valid
− Example (Violation)
− - Total Profit: $4,000
− - Largest Winning Day: $2,200
− Consistency = 55% → Not valid
− When 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
− - After a payout is taken, your total profits reset, and the consistency rule begins again based on new profits moving forward.

Elite ACCESS – Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) (EOD)
Section: Elite ACCESS – Maximum Loss Limit (MLL) (EOD)
− The Maximum Loss Limit (MLL), also known as the EOD Trailing Drawdown, defines the maximum amount your account can lose overall.
− This rule applies during both the evaluation and funded phases and is calculated on an End-of-Day (EOD) basis.
− Evaluation Phase
− MLL by Account Size
−
| Account Size | Max Drawdown ($) | Max Drawdown (%) |
|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000 | 4.00% |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | 4.00% |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | 3.00% |
| $150,000 | $4,000 | ~2.67% |
− Funded Phase
− MLL by Account Size
−
| Account Size | Max Drawdown ($) | Max Drawdown (%) |
|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,000 | 4.00% |
| $50,000 | $2,000 | 4.00% |
| $100,000 | $3,000 | 3.00% |
| $150,000 | $3,500 | ~2.33% |
− How the Trailing Drawdown Works
− - The drawdown is calculated based on your end-of-day (EOD) balance
− - It trails upward as your account reaches new highs
− - It does not move down if your balance decreases
− Example
− - Starting balance: $50,000
− - Max drawdown: $2,000
− - Initial minimum balance: $48,000
− If your account closes the day at $52,000:
− - New trailing level locks at: $50,000
− Drawdown Lock Level
Once your account reaches a certain level, the trailing drawdown locks at breakeven + $100:
Section: Drawdown lock level

| Account Size | Lock Level |

| $50K | $50,100 |
| $100K | $100,100 |
| $150K | $150,100 |
− After this point:
− - The drawdown no longer trails upward
− - Your account cannot fall below this locked level
− Important Rules
− - Calculated using end-of-day balance only
− - Intraday drops below the level do not count, unless the day closes below it
− - Applies to both evaluation and funded accounts
− - Includes both realized and unrealized performance at close
− Rule Violation
− If your account closes below the allowed drawdown level:
− - This is considered a hard breach
− - The account will be terminated
− - The account becomes ineligible for funding or payouts
− Summary
− - EOD trailing drawdown applies in both phases
− - Trails upward with profits
− - Locks at starting balance + $100
− - Breaching it results in account termination

Elite ACCESS – Buffer + Profit target
Section: Elite ACCESS – Buffer + Profit target
− Updated recently
− Funded Elite ACCESS accounts do not have a profit target to keep the account active, 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 you are above that level can you request a payout
− - This threshold is required for each payout request
− Important Notes
− - This is not a profit target to pass the funded account
− - It is a profit threshold for payout eligibility
− - All other payout conditions must still be met, including:
− - 5 profitable days
− - Meeting the minimum daily profit requirement
− - Respecting the 40% consistency rule
− - Following all funded account rules
− Example
− For a $50,000 Elite ACCESS funded account:
− - Payout Buffer: $2,000
− - Additional profit required: $500
− - Total profit needed before payout request: $2,500
− Until that threshold is reached, the account is not yet eligible for payout.
− Summary
− To request a payout on Elite ACCESS 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.

Elite ACCESS – Contract Scaling Plan
Section: Elite ACCESS – Contract Scaling Plan
− The Contract Scaling Plan applies only to funded Elite ACCESS accounts.
− There are no scaling restrictions during the evaluation phase.
− 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 daily.
− Key Principles
− - Scaling applies only to funded accounts
− - No scaling rules during the evaluation phase
− - Contract limits update once per day (EOD)
− - Scaling is based on simulated profits
− - Traders must stay within their allowed contract size at all times
− Base Maximum Contracts
− These are the maximum contract limits once fully scaled:
−
| Account Size | Max Contracts |
|---|---|
| $25K | 1 Mini or 10 Micros |
| $50K | 3 Minis or 30 Micros |
| $100K | 5 Minis or 50 Micros |
| $150K | 7 Minis or 70 Micros |

| $3,500 – $4,499 | 6 Minis or 60 Micros |
| $4,500+ | 7 Minis or 70 Micros (Full Allocation) |
− How Scaling Is Calculated
− Your scaling level is determined by:
− - Your funded account closing balance
− - Your total simulated profit
− - Your end-of-day equity
− Contract increases are applied the following trading day once your closing balance qualifies.
− Important
− - Intraday profits do not unlock higher scaling tiers
− - 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 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.
Section: Important clarifications
− Important Clarifications
− - Scaling applies per individual account
− - Contract limits do not combine across accounts
− - Scaling is based on simulated profit only
− - Limits are determined using end-of-day balance
− - Scaling does not override other risk rules such as:
− - Daily Loss Limit
− - Trailing Drawdown

1-Step Elite Evaluation
Section: 1-Step Elite Evaluation
− The 1-Step Elite Evaluation is designed as a traditional evaluation pathway for disciplined traders. Under this model, you must successfully reach a specific profit target while adhering to risk management rules to prove your trading skills.
− Once the profit target is reached and the Elite Evaluation is passed, an activation fee is required to transition from the Evaluation phase to a funded environment where you then can work towards a payout.
This path is ideal for traders who are confident in their ability to pass evaluations and want to benefit from a 25% consistency rule, which is more generous than the rules found in the Instant or Ignite account models.

Because your biggest day cannot exceed 50% of your profitable days, the target cannot be reached in fewer than 2 profitable days. Plan for at least that many.
Phase 2 — Buffer Zone
Most firms send you straight from an evaluation into a funded account that still carries a profit target, usually under a tougher drawdown. Miss it and everything is gone — the only way back is to buy a new evaluation and start again.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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) |
| 200K | $3,000 | $-2,000 Static | 34% | $1,020 (34% 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. These are the Launch 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.

| 200K | $3,000 | $1,000 | $250 | $2,500 |
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 — comfortably inside the 50% evaluation rule, and inside the 34% Buffer Zone rule too. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,400 − $600 = $2,800. The same $1,000 day becomes 35.7% — which would put you outside the 34% Buffer Zone 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.
Resetting a Launch 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.

You might have already noticed that each symbol comes with a number and a letter in its name. The first two letters, "NQ," indicates name of the instrument (E-mini NASDAQ100), while the third letter indicates the contract month, and the number indicates the year.
- The key difference between each symbol is the specific date at which each contract expires and settles.
- The contract closest to expiration has the highest trading volume and liquidity.
- Pricing can differ between contracts.
Which one is the correct Month Contract that I must trade?
To easily identify which contract is the best to trade right now, it is based on the current liquidity (Volume). In the Table below, you can find links to each instrument where you can track the volume of each month's contract.

Make sure you are always trading the Front Month Contract, which is the one with the highest Volume. We are not responsible if you fail account due to trading the wrong contract month. Trading in the incorrect Month Contract may also result in termination of your account or deduction of profit made from trades on the incorrect contract.
In the example below, for the Micro Bitcoin instrument, the Front Month Contract is MBTG6. This might change in the future, once the contract is heading to expiration date and the volume starts to decrease.

The change in place, line by line
Before
Payout caps and buffers are part of the payout requirements on the performance stage of E8 Signature.
Payout buffer:
Before you can start requesting a payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account of the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown. The buffer is in place to protect traders from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account, and no matter how many payouts you request, the buffer will always stay there.
− Payout caps:
Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.
| Account size | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 |

| 1. Payout | $1,000 | $1,250 | $2,250 | $3,250 |

You can see the balance requirement for each account size and payout cycle in the tables below.
Please note that the last column in the following tables represents the minimum balance needed for the maximum payout you can request for each payout cycle, and you can still request with less balance as long as you fulfill the buffer requirements and minimum payout amounts.

What the page said before and after
Before
SimFi™ Challenge accounts (Phase 1):
- All products - UNLIMITED
− There is unlimited allocation for accounts in phase 1
Maximum allocation for SimFI™ Performance accounts:
- Max for E8 One = $500,000 allocation per market
- Max for E8 Pro = $500,000 allocation per market
- E8 Zero = 3 performance accounts
− - E8 Signatures= 5 performance accounts per each market
This means that in the Simfi™ Performance accounts, you can manage up to $4,100,000 in Simulated capital at the same time!
Note: These allocation limits apply per household. Multiple users within the same residence/same IP must not exceed this collective maximum.
Examples:
During the Challenge stage, there are no limits on how many accounts you can purchase. For example, you could buy a $400,000 E8 One account, a $100,000 E8 One account, and a $200,000 E8 One account.
If you pass all of them, since the maximum allocation limit on the Performance stage for E8 One is $500,000, you will be able to trade only with a $400,000 and a $100,000 account. The other $200,000 account will be kept as a reserve until your allocation on the Performance stage drops below the limit.
Similarly, for Signature models, you can purchase as many Challenge accounts as you like, regardless of account size. Note that you can only actively manage 5 performance accounts for each market in the Performance stage at any given time; any additional accounts will be kept in reserve.
Single User (E8X) Profile policy
Users are only allowed to have a single user profile, so all purchases of our challenges must be made through one registered user profile. All accounts must be traded solely by their respective owners.
Creating multiple user profiles under different emails or trading accounts from different users is a violation of our terms and conditions and may lead to the temporary or permanent suspension of your active accounts and user profile.

- Pass a Trading Combine®? You'll be limited to Express Funded Account (XFA) Consistency — best day must stay under 40% of total profits per Payout period
- Standard XFA is unavailable until RTP is completed
If you’re placed into the RTP with an active Trading Combine:
- Any Standard Trading Combine subscription started before RTP placement will remain as a Standard Trading Combine. If passed, it may be activated as either a Standard XFA or Consistency XFA.
- If Reset, the new Trading Combine will follow RTP rules — it will be a Consistency Trading Combine account with a Daily Loss Limit (DLL) and will follow this path if the account is passed.
If you're placed into the RTP with an active Standard XFA:
- Your existing Standard XFA account is unaffected.
- Any new XFAs created during RTP will be Consistency XFA only
- XFAs activated from Trading Combines purchased before your RTP placement can be Standard or Consistency with a Daily Loss Limit.
If you're removed from RTP with an active Consistency XFA:
- Your Consistency XFA account stays unchanged

Responsible Trading Program FAQs
How is RTP different from the Focused Trader Program (FTP)?
Under the Focused Trader Program, Traders are limited to one Express Funded Account at a time. Under the Responsible Trading Program, Traders may trade up to five Express Funded Accounts while following a consistency requirement during payout periods. You can learn more about the Focused Trader Program here
Is the RTP replacing the FTP?
Not necessarily. Some traders may still benefit from being in the Focused Trader Program. However, a Trader may be moved from RTP to FTP if they continue to violate our Trader Pledge or carry out the other prohibited trading strategies outlined here.
Are there limitations to what I can purchase while in the Responsible Trading Program?
You can purchase any size and type of Trading Combine — there's no limit on how many you can hold. Each one will automatically have a Daily Loss Limit. For Express Funded Accounts, there's an additional restriction: once you pass a TC while in RTP, you'll be placed on the Consistency path rather than Standard.
Is RTP a punishment or restriction?
RTP is not a punishment. It is a support-focused program designed to help Traders improve consistency, develop the mindset to manage emotional tilt, and instill trading discipline, all while maintaining access to multiple Express Funded Accounts. In fact, compared to the prior Focused Trader Program, RTP allows more flexibility, not less.
Will I always receive a warning before being put in RTP?
While warnings will often be sent out first, Topstep reserves the right to send Traders directly to RTP based on the severity of the violation. Traders are only placed into RTP after thorough reviews from our Risk Team. Trading activity is monitored over time, and placement occurs only if we continue to see patterns that suggest unsustainable or high-risk behavior. If you’re put into RTP, you will be notified directly via email.

Frequently Asked Questions
$25K Static Trading Combine
What does "static drawdown" mean, and how is it different from trailing drawdown?
Topstep uses 2 types of drawdown. Here's how each works using the same scenario: a Trader starts with a $25,000 balance and a $1,000 Max Loss Limit, earns $1,000 in profit (balance hits $26,000), then loses $500 (balance ends at $25,500).
- End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing (standard Topstep Trading Combines): The Max Loss Limit trails the end-of-day closing balance — not intraday peaks. Trader ends at $25,500, limit moves to $24,500. They start the next day with $1,000 of room.
- Static (this Trading Combine): The Max Loss Limit never moves. It stays at $24,000 no matter what. With a $28,000 balance, the Trader has $4,000 of room — not $3,000.
| EOD Trailing | Static | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Loss Limit after scenario | $24,500 | $24,000 |
| Effective room next day | $1,000 | $1,500 |
Who is eligible to purchase this new offering?
Quantities are limited. Keep an eye on topstep.com/labs for future Labs drops.
Is there a Payout cap on the $6K Challenge account?
There is no Payout cap in this experiment, the Challenge is for a fixed $6,000 Payout, no 90/10 split, paid one time. There will not be a remaining account balance, and the account will be closed upon completion.
Does the $6K Challenge lead to a Live Funded Account® (LFA)?
No. There's no path to Live through Challenges alone, and unlike Express Funded Accounts®, how you perform in a Challenge has no effect on your eligibility to be called up. The reward is the one-time $6,000 Payout, then the account closes out.
Can I purchase this in addition to my existing Trading Combine?
Yes. It's a separate product and doesn't replace or affect any Trading Combines, Express Funded Accounts, or Live Funded Accounts you already have — you can trade it alongside them. The 5 account limit on $6K Challenges still applies.
Does this replace the $50K, $100K, or $150K Trading Combines?
No. The $6K Challenge is an additional limited offering under Topstep Labs. It doesn't remove or replace the XFA or the core Trading Combine program, and every existing Trading Combine stays available to purchase separately.
What is the price, and who is eligible to purchase this?
$149, one-time fee. No Resets, no Rebills. All Traders, new and existing, while units remain. You may purchase up to 5 accounts total.
Where do I find the $6K Challenge?
Visit the Topstep Labs page or the Labs page in your dashboard. The $6K Challenge shows up as an offer card with the details and a button to purchase while units last. It's sold only from the Labs page.
Section: Is this a subscription?
What happens if I want a refund?
Our standard Topstep Refund Policies apply.
What are the rules on inactivity?
If there are no trades placed for 30 days, the account will close.
Is there an expiration date?
The account will expire and close after 90 days.

+ Can I purchase this in addition to my existing Trading Combine or funded account?
+ Yes. You can buy up to five $50K Static Trading Combines no matter how many other Trading Combines you have. Standard limits still apply to how many active Express Funded Accounts you can hold at one time.
+ How does the 55% Consistency Target work?
+ Same as other Trading Combines. You need to meet a 55% Consistency Target to pass. See Consistency at Topstep for how it's calculated.

+ You move to an Express Funded Account® (XFA) with a free activation fee. Pick your path:
+ - Standard: No consistency requirement
+ - Consistency: 40% Consistency Target
+ Both paths have an $8,000 Payout cap and a $2,000 Maximum Loss Limit (static until first Payout). After your first Payout, the MLL sets to $0.
+ Is there a limit on how many Payouts I can take?
+ No hard cap on the number of Payouts. Our Risk team decides on Live call-ups at its discretion.
+ Does the $50K Static Trading Combine lead to a Live Funded Account® (LFA)?
+ Yes. Like other Trading Combines, it can lead to a Live Funded Account. Sizing mirrors the standard $50K Trading Combine, and our team makes the call-up decision. If you're called up:
+ - Minimum starting balance: $10,000
+ - Daily Loss Limit: Carries through
+ - Max Contracts: 3 mini / 30 micro minimum, up to 5 mini / 50 micro maximum
+ - Scale In Scale Up: Same as the standard $50K Trading Combine
+ Learn more about Scale In Scale Up.
+ What instruments can I trade?
+ The same instruments as the standard $50K Trading Combine. See When and What Products Can I Trade for details.
+ Where do I find the $50K Static Trading Combine?
+ Visit the Topstep Labs page. It shows up as an offer card with the details and a button to purchase while units last.
What happens if I want a refund?
Our standard Topstep Refund Policies apply.

What the page said before and after
Before
👉 Check out our Payout Policy for steps
Is the live trading capital my money?
No. It's Topstep's prop firm capital made available as you demonstrate consistent performance. Once you withdraw funds via a Payout, those funds are yours.
Can I unlock multiple Reserve tiers at once with a big win?
No. Each tier requires net profit since the last expansion, reviewed weekly. Single oversized wins do not bypass this.
Can I use automated strategies in my LFA?
The API Gateway is built for the simulated environment and isn't available on Live, so automated strategies are not possible at this time in the Live Funded Account.
How does trading Live benefit me over SIM?
Everything counts here. Real capital, real consequences, real payouts with no cap. The XFA proved your strategy works — Live is where you get paid like it. Trading Live is the goal. It means managing real money, which helps develop discipline and skills under real market conditions, preparing you for real-world trading at Topstep and beyond.
Once I have 30 winning days, can I take a 100% payout?
Yes. We encourage Traders to take full advantage of the benefits of Live trading with Topstep, including unlimited growth potential and daily Payouts. Please note that Payouts can only be taken from your unlocked balance, not from your Live Funded Account Reserve. Please note: withdrawing the full balance will close your account.
As you reach each profit target, additional funds are released from your Reserve into your unlocked balance. Once 100% of your balance has been unlocked, you may withdraw those funds as well.
Section: What happens if my Live account closes?
What happens if I lose my 20% starting balance?
If your Live Funded Account balance drops below $1,000, the account will be liquidated immediately and closed at the end of the trading day. The remaining balance will be sent to you as a final payout before the account is closed.
Example: Account drops to $800 = auto liquidation and account closure at the end of that day. The remaining $800 is sent as a final Payout. Unlocked reserve is forfeited.
What happens if I go inactive?
Live Funded Accounts with no trading activity for more than 30 days may be closed. Live Funded Accounts can't be put on hold.
Can I have Trading Combines while I have a Live Funded Account?
Yes. You can have Trading Combines while actively trading a Live Funded Account. The restriction is only on activation — a passed Trading Combine cannot be activated into an Express Funded Account while your Live Funded Account is active. That option becomes available again if the Live Funded Account is lost.
Tip: You can duplicate trades across multiple accounts using a trade copier. Learn more here.

+ What happens if my Live account closes?
+ Traders moved from the Live program voluntarily or due to the account breaching the Loss Limit and closing may be placed in the Responsible Trading Program (RTP).

Section: Prohibited countries
− Modified on Thu, 3 Sep at 9:21 AM
Due to the restrictions put on us by our US FCM (our Clearing firm), and broker, we cannot accept traders who are citizens or residents of the countries listed below. Or traders who are visiting these countries for an extended period of time and are predominantly trading from these countries.
Please note, this applies if you are a citizen or resident of any country on the list.
If you were resident in a permitted country, but a citizen of a prohibited country, you would not be able to open an account with TradeDay.
Similarly, if you were a citizen of a permitted country, but a resident of a prohibited country, you would also not be able to open an account with TradeDay.
Finally, if you are visiting these countries for an extended period of time and are predominantly trading from these countries, you would also not be able to open an account with TradeDay. We would suggest traders do not trade if they are visiting these countries.
Please note this is NOT TradeDay's decision and is beyond our control, so please don't ask us to make exceptions.
During the set up of a funded trading account the broker and clearing firm will run a KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti Money Laundering) check.
You will also be required to provide a bank statement or utility bill as proof of address, and a government-issued ID.
If you cannot provide these documents, or fail these background checks (for example, if you are a convicted felon) we will not be able to proceed with opening the funded account, and you will not be eligible for any refunds. Thank you for your understanding.

*We are currently unable to onboard new users from Ukraine, as Riseworks are not supporting new users or businesses from Ukraine. Our existing Ukrainian users that have already onboarded with Riseworks may still use their Riseworks accounts, but may only withdraw in crypto. We are actively working on a solution to allow new users from Ukraine to onboard.
Conditional/Limited Jurisdictions
Canada (Outside Ontario) & Germany
German citizens and Canadian citizens or residents outside the province of Ontario are not eligible for Funded Live accounts. Traders in this category who pass an evaluation may trade in a Funded Sim account only and may remain in Funded Sim indefinitely.
TradeDay reserves the right to offboard such accounts at any time if the Head of Trading determines the account presents elevated risk. In such cases, any eligible profits will be paid out in accordance with TradeDay’s payout policy.
These restrictions are imposed by our broker and clearing firm and are not subject to exception.

PremierTradeify · Risk & Compliance Guidelines: FAQ | Tradeify Help CenterArticle added requirement that purchases and payments must be made by and in the name of the account owner, not third parties.Oct 1
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Does one single factor decide the outcome?
Except where a specific rule provides otherwise, no single document, device, IP, trade, payment method, or verification result independently determines an outcome.
Successful completion of one verification step also does not establish compliance with every other requirement. For example, identity verification alone does not establish ownership, trading independence, geographic eligibility, or payment compliance. Tradeify evaluates relevant information collectively.
Your Account and Identity
Can someone else access or trade my account?
No. Each trader must personally own, control, verify, and operate their account. Prohibited conduct includes:
- allowing another person to trade, access, or verify the account
- trading another person's account
- sharing credentials for third-party control
- exchanging account ownership
- misrepresenting who actually owns, controls, or trades the account
Family, business, or employment relationships — or the other party's permission — do not authorize account or identity sharing.
Section: Can someone else buy or pay for my account?
What verification may be required?
Tradeify may require KYC, KYB, AML, identity, residency, payment, or other verification at any stage of participation, including through Tradeify's authorized third-party verification and payments providers.
Users must submit authentic, valid, accurate, current, and unaltered information belonging to the person or entity being verified. Tradeify may require:
- government ID
- liveness/facial verification
- proof of address
- business documentation
- payment or payout-provider verification
- other documentation reasonably required to establish identity, ownership, residency, or eligibility
Submitting documentation does not guarantee approval, and prior verification does not preclude re-verification. Attempts to falsify, manipulate, substitute, or circumvent verification may result in restriction or termination.
For details on the verification process, see our KYC and AML Policy.
Does where I live matter?
A platform's technical permissiveness does not make an action compliant.
What counts as manipulative or non-genuine trading?
Prohibited conduct includes:
- manipulative or disruptive trading
- prohibited high-frequency trading
- non-genuine activity designed to manipulate metrics
- artificial behavior circumventing requirements
- exploitation of simulated conditions
- coordinated risk-distribution schemes
Tradeify evaluates overall pattern, not individual trades in isolation.
Payments and Payouts
What are the rules for payment methods and chargebacks?
Section: What are the rules for payment methods and chargebacks?
− Payment methods must be legitimate and authorized. Review may follow:
- unauthorized instruments
- third-party payment methods
- suspected stolen payment data
- fraudulent transactions
- promotional or refund abuse
- repeated chargebacks
- attempts to obtain both a reversal and the corresponding benefit
A chargeback or dispute does not itself determine contractual rights. Tradeify may require resolution of outstanding obligations before restoring eligibility, where permitted.
See also our Chargeback Policy.
Can my payout be reviewed?
Yes. Payouts are subject to Tradeify's payout rules and Compliance review, before or after processing, where eligibility, identity, ownership, trading, payment, or compliance questions arise. This includes:
- payout information inconsistent with the verified holder

+ Can someone else buy or pay for my account?
+ No. Every purchase must be made by you, in your own name, using a payment method in your own name. This applies even if you are the one who trades the account, completes KYC, and requests payouts.
+ A family member or friend may not purchase an account for you or pay with their card, even with their permission. If someone wants to help, they can send you the money and you make the purchase yourself.
