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.

PremierFundedNext Futures · What are the prohibited trading strategies of FundedNext Futures? | FundedNext Futures Help CenterDefinition of reverse hedging clarified to specify offsetting positions on same or equivalent instruments; examples expanded to show both multi-account and single-account scenarios; prohibitions rationale refined across two definitions with 3 others changed. TIER: majorSep 10

What the page said before and after
Before
When a trader deliberately exploits differences between simulated and live execution to generate profits — rather than expressing a legitimate market view — the activity is considered platform abuse rather than a valid trading strategy. This conduct most commonly appears as repeated, very short-duration trades concentrated in low-liquidity instruments. The determining factor is that the same positions could not reasonably have been established or exited under comparable live market conditions. Any strategy that systematically profits from simulation-specific execution gaps instead of genuine market movement is prohibited.
What is Tick Scalping?
Tick scalping is the repeated practice of opening and closing positions within a very short window to collect a few ticks of profit per trade from favourable simulated fills, often at large or maximum position size. An occasional fast exit driven by genuine market conditions is not considered a violation in itself.
Why is Tick Scalping prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Tick scalping becomes a concern when a strategy relies primarily on capturing minimal price fluctuations through large position sizes, favorable simulated fills, or execution characteristics that would be difficult to replicate in a live market environment. Such activity does not reflect sustainable trading skill and may be considered an exploitation of the simulated environment rather than a demonstration of genuine market analysis or risk management.
What is Latency Arbitrage?
Latency arbitrage is a high-risk trading strategy that exploits price delays between platforms, relying on speed advantages rather than market analysis. This strategy takes advantage of discrepancies in market data updates, allowing traders to enter or exit positions before others react.
Why is Latency Arbitrage prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
A trader using a faster price feed can enter trades before the slower feed updates, gaining an unfair advantage by accessing price movements ahead of other market participants. This distorts fair pricing and disrupts trading integrity. Since latency arbitrage does not reflect actual trading skills and relies on exploiting system inefficiencies, FundedNext Futures prohibits this practice to ensure a level playing field.
Example:
A trader notices that a price update on one platform is delayed by twenty milliseconds. They quickly place a trade before the lagging platform adjusts, securing a better price than traders using standard feeds. This creates an unfair advantage and manipulates pricing dynamics.
What is a Reverse Hedge?
Section: What is a Reverse Hedge?
− Reverse hedging is a manipulative strategy where a trader opens opposite positions in different accounts to artificially hedge risk, creating an illusion of controlled exposure while exploiting reward structures.
Why is Reverse Hedge prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Section: Why is Reverse Hedge prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
− Traders engaging in reverse hedging ensure that one account profits while the other incurs a loss, which misrepresents genuine trading performance. This deceptive approach undermines trading evaluations and violates FundedNext Futures' principles of fair competition. To prevent manipulation, this practice is strictly prohibited.
− Example:
− A trader opens a buy position in one FundedNext Account and simultaneously opens a sell position in another. Regardless of market movement, one account will always show a profit while the other will show a loss, creating a misleading impression of success.
What is Hedging with Correlated Instruments?
Section: What is Hedging with Correlated Instruments?
− Hedging with correlated instruments involves taking opposite positions in assets that move similarly, reducing actual market exposure while manipulating trading evaluations.
Why is Hedging with Correlated Instruments prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Section: Why is Hedging with Correlated Instruments prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
− Traders using this method neutralize risk artificially without engaging in true market exposure. This strategy distorts genuine trading performance, allowing traders to exploit reward structures unfairly. FundedNext Futures prohibits this to maintain an honest and skill-based evaluation process.
Example:
− A trader buys S&P 500 futures while simultaneously shorting the YM Futures. Since both indices move in sync, the positions cancel out risk, preventing an accurate assessment of trading ability.
What is Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading?
Gapped or illiquid market trading involves placing trades during low liquidity periods or exploiting large price gaps to gain an unfair advantage. This method relies on market inefficiencies rather than strategic trading skills.
Why is Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Traders may attempt to place orders in gapped or illiquid market conditions, seeking to benefit from price inefficiencies. However, this exposes them to unpredictable execution, high slippage, and potential market manipulation. Trading in low-liquidity environments or before major market events can distort fair price discovery and disrupt market stability.
Example:
A trader places a buy limit order right at the time of a new week's opening, anticipating a price surge. The order got filled, and the market opens after a large gap, and the fill index price is not relevant to the market index price. However, if the market moves against them, they face unexpected slippage and losses, demonstrating the high-risk nature of this approach.
What is 2% Price Limit?
A price limit is the maximum price range permitted for a futures contract during a trading session. These limits are imposed by the CME to promote safer trading and reduce excessive volatility. When the market reaches this limit, different outcomes may occur, including temporary trading halts, continuation under limit conditions, or a complete stop in trading for the rest of the session, depending on the product and regulatory guidelines.
Why is trading within the 2% price limit prohibited?
Trading within 2% of the CME price limit creates higher risk and potential liquidity issues, as market conditions become unstable near these thresholds. If the price approaches the limit, execution becomes unpredictable, and price gaps may lead to forced liquidations, slippage, and increased account drawdowns. To ensure responsible risk management and market stability, trading in this zone is strictly prohibited, and violations may result in account suspension or restrictions. Click here to know more.

What is a Reverse Hedge?
Section: What is a Reverse Hedge?
+ Reverse hedging is a manipulative strategy where a trader opens offsetting positions on the same or an equivalent instrument, buying one while selling the other, to artificially neutralise directional risk. Because both positions track the same underlying, one ticket is guaranteed to win and the other is guaranteed to lose, no matter which way the market moves. It can be done across multiple accounts or within a single account.
Why is Reverse Hedge prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Section: Why is Reverse Hedge prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
+ Reverse hedging misrepresents genuine trading performance. Because the positions offset one another on the same underlying, the outcome is predetermined regardless of market direction. The trader is not demonstrating real skill or risk management. This undermines the integrity of the evaluation and violates FundedNext Futures' principles of fair competition. To prevent manipulation, this practice is prohibited.
+ Examples:
+ - Across accounts: A trader opens a buy on NQ in one Account and a sell on NQ in Account B. Regardless of market movement, one account shows a profit and the other a loss.
+ - Single-account: A trader buys 1 NQ contract and sells 10 MNQ contracts in the same account. Because NQ and MNQ track the same underlying at matched notional, the net position is effectively flat, neutralising directional risk and circumventing genuine exposure.
What is Hedging with Correlated Instruments?
Section: What is Hedging with Correlated Instruments?
+ Hedging with correlated instruments means holding opposing positions, one long and one short, at the same time on two different underlyings that move together within the same Asset Group.
+ Because correlated assets closely follow the same market trends, taking opposite positions on them offsets most of the overall risk: one trade gains while the other loses, artificially reducing genuine exposure. This can be done across multiple accounts or within a single account.
Why is Hedging with Correlated Instruments prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Section: Why is Hedging with Correlated Instruments prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
+ FundedNext evaluates traders on their ability to navigate real market risk and demonstrate a sustainable edge. Taking opposite positions on heavily correlated markets removes most of that risk, with one position absorbing the loss while the other books a profit. This masks genuine risk exposure and exploits the simulated environment, making it difficult to assess real trading skill. To maintain a fair and skill-based evaluation, this practice is prohibited.
Example:
+ A trader buys S&P 500 (ES) Futures while simultaneously selling Dow Jones (YM) Futures. Both are closely linked US equity indices, so buying one while selling the other acts as an artificial safety net with near-zero real market risk.
What is Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading?
Gapped or illiquid market trading involves placing trades during low liquidity periods or exploiting large price gaps to gain an unfair advantage. This method relies on market inefficiencies rather than strategic trading skills.
Why is Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Traders may attempt to place orders in gapped or illiquid market conditions, seeking to benefit from price inefficiencies. However, this exposes them to unpredictable execution, high slippage, and potential market manipulation.

Tick scalping becomes a concern when a strategy relies primarily on capturing minimal price fluctuations through large position sizes, favorable simulated fills, or execution characteristics that would be difficult to replicate in a live market environment. Such activity does not reflect sustainable trading skill and may be considered an exploitation of the simulated environment rather than a demonstration of genuine market analysis or risk management.
What is Latency Arbitrage?
Latency arbitrage is a high-risk trading strategy that exploits price delays between platforms, relying on speed advantages rather than market analysis. This strategy takes advantage of discrepancies in market data updates, allowing traders to enter or exit positions before others react.
Why is Latency Arbitrage prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
A trader using a faster price feed can enter trades before the slower feed updates, gaining an unfair advantage by accessing price movements ahead of other market participants. This distorts fair pricing and disrupts trading integrity. Since latency arbitrage does not reflect actual trading skills and relies on exploiting system inefficiencies, FundedNext Futures prohibits this practice to ensure a level playing field.
Example:
A trader notices that a price update on one platform is delayed by twenty milliseconds. They quickly place a trade before the lagging platform adjusts, securing a better price than traders using standard feeds. This creates an unfair advantage and manipulates pricing dynamics.
What is a Reverse Hedge?
Section: What is a Reverse Hedge?
− Reverse hedging is a manipulative strategy where a trader opens opposite positions in different accounts to artificially hedge risk, creating an illusion of controlled exposure while exploiting reward structures.
+ Reverse hedging is a manipulative strategy where a trader opens offsetting positions on the same or an equivalent instrument, buying one while selling the other, to artificially neutralise directional risk. Because both positions track the same underlying, one ticket is guaranteed to win and the other is guaranteed to lose, no matter which way the market moves. It can be done across multiple accounts or within a single account.
Why is Reverse Hedge prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Section: Why is Reverse Hedge prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
− Traders engaging in reverse hedging ensure that one account profits while the other incurs a loss, which misrepresents genuine trading performance. This deceptive approach undermines trading evaluations and violates FundedNext Futures' principles of fair competition. To prevent manipulation, this practice is strictly prohibited.
− Example:
− A trader opens a buy position in one FundedNext Account and simultaneously opens a sell position in another. Regardless of market movement, one account will always show a profit while the other will show a loss, creating a misleading impression of success.
+ Reverse hedging misrepresents genuine trading performance. Because the positions offset one another on the same underlying, the outcome is predetermined regardless of market direction. The trader is not demonstrating real skill or risk management. This undermines the integrity of the evaluation and violates FundedNext Futures' principles of fair competition. To prevent manipulation, this practice is prohibited.
+ Examples:
+ - Across accounts: A trader opens a buy on NQ in one Account and a sell on NQ in Account B. Regardless of market movement, one account shows a profit and the other a loss.
+ - Single-account: A trader buys 1 NQ contract and sells 10 MNQ contracts in the same account. Because NQ and MNQ track the same underlying at matched notional, the net position is effectively flat, neutralising directional risk and circumventing genuine exposure.
What is Hedging with Correlated Instruments?
Section: What is Hedging with Correlated Instruments?
− Hedging with correlated instruments involves taking opposite positions in assets that move similarly, reducing actual market exposure while manipulating trading evaluations.
+ Hedging with correlated instruments means holding opposing positions, one long and one short, at the same time on two different underlyings that move together within the same Asset Group.
+ Because correlated assets closely follow the same market trends, taking opposite positions on them offsets most of the overall risk: one trade gains while the other loses, artificially reducing genuine exposure. This can be done across multiple accounts or within a single account.
Why is Hedging with Correlated Instruments prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Section: Why is Hedging with Correlated Instruments prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
− Traders using this method neutralize risk artificially without engaging in true market exposure. This strategy distorts genuine trading performance, allowing traders to exploit reward structures unfairly. FundedNext Futures prohibits this to maintain an honest and skill-based evaluation process.
+ FundedNext evaluates traders on their ability to navigate real market risk and demonstrate a sustainable edge. Taking opposite positions on heavily correlated markets removes most of that risk, with one position absorbing the loss while the other books a profit. This masks genuine risk exposure and exploits the simulated environment, making it difficult to assess real trading skill. To maintain a fair and skill-based evaluation, this practice is prohibited.
Example:
− A trader buys S&P 500 futures while simultaneously shorting the YM Futures. Since both indices move in sync, the positions cancel out risk, preventing an accurate assessment of trading ability.
+ A trader buys S&P 500 (ES) Futures while simultaneously selling Dow Jones (YM) Futures. Both are closely linked US equity indices, so buying one while selling the other acts as an artificial safety net with near-zero real market risk.
What is Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading?
Gapped or illiquid market trading involves placing trades during low liquidity periods or exploiting large price gaps to gain an unfair advantage. This method relies on market inefficiencies rather than strategic trading skills.
Why is Gapped or Illiquid Market Trading prohibited in FundedNext Futures?
Traders may attempt to place orders in gapped or illiquid market conditions, seeking to benefit from price inefficiencies. However, this exposes them to unpredictable execution, high slippage, and potential market manipulation. Trading in low-liquidity environments or before major market events can distort fair price discovery and disrupt market stability.
Example:
A trader places a buy limit order right at the time of a new week's opening, anticipating a price surge. The order got filled, and the market opens after a large gap, and the fill index price is not relevant to the market index price. However, if the market moves against them, they face unexpected slippage and losses, demonstrating the high-risk nature of this approach.
What is 2% Price Limit?
A price limit is the maximum price range permitted for a futures contract during a trading session. These limits are imposed by the CME to promote safer trading and reduce excessive volatility. When the market reaches this limit, different outcomes may occur, including temporary trading halts, continuation under limit conditions, or a complete stop in trading for the rest of the session, depending on the product and regulatory guidelines.
Why is trading within the 2% price limit prohibited?
Trading within 2% of the CME price limit creates higher risk and potential liquidity issues, as market conditions become unstable near these thresholds. If the price approaches the limit, execution becomes unpredictable, and price gaps may lead to forced liquidations, slippage, and increased account drawdowns. To ensure responsible risk management and market stability, trading in this zone is strictly prohibited, and violations may result in account suspension or restrictions. Click here to know more.

Trading During the News
Topstep doesn't require you to flatten positions during economic releases — in SIM or Funded Accounts. But we highly recommend using caution or stepping aside when a release is coming up that affects your product.
Slippage is common during these events. Orders can execute at a worse price than expected. That's not a bug — that's the market.
A few things to know:
- Trades impacted by economic releases are not eligible for exceptions or Reset credits
- Results are your responsibility — full stop
Section: Trading During the News
− - To reduce slippage risk: cut your position size, use limit orders, or avoid trading the event entirely
⚠️ You own the outcome. Trade accordingly.
FAQs
What causes slippage during economic releases?
Rapid price movement and low liquidity make it hard to fill orders at your expected price. The bigger the release, the more pronounced the slippage risk.
How can I minimize slippage?
Section: FAQs
− Monitor economic calendars so you know what's coming. Reduce position sizes during volatile events. Use limit orders instead of market orders. Or sit it out — sometimes that's the best trade.
Does Topstep adjust accounts for slippage losses?
No. Slippage is a normal market condition. Topstep doesn't make account adjustments for losses attributable to it.

PremierTopstep · Consistency at Topstep | Topstep Help CenterConsistency Target increased from 50% to 55% for Trading Combine; Best Day Recommendations and calculation examples updated accordingly; buffer removed and stated as hard limit.Sep 10
▸ View exact changes
The change in place, line by line
Before
Consistency rules exist because big spike days don't build funded traders. Sustainable habits do. Here's how the Consistency rules work in the Trading Combine® and the Express Funded Account®.
Section: Trading Combine — Consistency Target (55%)
− Trading Combine — Consistency Target (50%)
− Your single best day of profit must stay at or below 50% of your Profit Target. If it exceeds that, your Profit Target increases. You'll need to earn more to pass.
Formula: Best Day Profit ÷ Total Profit = Best Day %
Best Day Recommendations (stay below these to avoid a Profit Target increase):
−
| Account Size | Profit Target | Best Day Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| $50K | $3,000 | Less than $1,500 |
| $100K | $6,000 | Less than $3,000 |
| $150K | $9,000 | Less than $4,500 |
− Example: $1,200 best day ÷ $2,800 total profit = 43% ✅ — Consistency Target met.
− There's a small backend buffer for market fluctuations — you don't need to hit numbers to the penny. You can pass in as few as 2 days, as long as no single day exceeds 50% of your total profit and your Profit Target is met.
⚠️ Losses do not reset your best day. The Consistency Target applies regardless of your current account balance.
How does the Best Day lock in?
Your best day updates throughout the session as your P&L moves. At 3:10 PM CT, that day's value locks into your trading history and cannot be changed. A future day becomes your new best day if it exceeds the previous one and locks at 3:10 PM CT on its own day.
What happens if I have a losing day?
Section: What happens if I have a losing day?
− Losses don't reset your best day. If your best day is $1,500 but a losing day brings your total profit down to $1,000, your best day is still $1,500.
− To find your new Profit Target: Best Day ÷ 0.50 = Total Profit Needed.
− Example: $1,500 best day ÷ 0.50 = $3,000 Profit Target. You need to recover losses and reach $3,000 without letting any single day exceed $1,500. If your next day earns $2,000, your best day becomes $2,000 and your new Profit Target becomes $4,000.
Can I fix a Consistency violation by trading more on the same day?
No. If your best day was set during the current trading session (before 3:10 PM CT), any additional profit you earn today adds directly to that best day total — which raises your adjusted Profit Target even further.
To resolve a Consistency Target violation, the remaining profit must be earned on a separate trading day, after the market close of the session in which your best day was set.
Section: Can I fix a Consistency violation by trading more on the same day?
− Example: Your best day is $1,800 (set today, session still open). Your adjusted Profit Target is $3,600. Trading more today to earn the remaining $1,800 will not work — every dollar you earn today increases your best day total, which keeps raising the target.
Can I keep trading after hitting my Best Day Recommendation?
Yes, but exceeding it increases your Profit Target and makes the Trading Combine harder to pass.
Section: What happened to the buffer?
💡 Tip: On TopstepX™, you can set a Personal Daily Profit Target to lock in your gains before exceeding the Consistency Target. Go to Settings, then Risk Settings, set your dollar amount and action (Do Nothing, Liquidate, or Liquidate and Block), then save. Read more or watch the video.
Express Funded Account Consistency — Consistency Objective (40%)
The Consistency path in the Express Funded Account® (XFA) rewards Traders who build profit steadily, not in one big day. When you activate your XFA, you choose Standard or Consistency as your Payout path. The Consistency path gets you to Payout eligibility faster but adds a 40% threshold.
Formula: Largest Single-Day Net Profit ÷ Total Net Profit = Consistency %
Your Consistency % must be 40% or below to be Payout eligible. This is not rounded. Any result above 40% does not qualify.
To request a Payout, you must also have:
- A minimum of 3 trading days with at least 1 trade per day
- Example: $3,600 largest day ÷ $9,500 total net profit = 37.9% ✅
If your Consistency % exceeds 40%, keep trading. As you earn more net profit, the percentage will naturally come down.
👉 Your dashboard updates in real time and shows your Consistency %, total net profit, largest single-day profit, and Payout eligibility status.
Does Consistency reset after a Payout?
Yes. After a Payout is requested, your consistency calculation resets to $0 and applies only to profits earned in the new window. All eligibility requirements must be met again.

+ There is no buffer. 55% is the hard limit. The old buffer was quiet padding on top of a 50% target. Now the number you see is the number that counts, so there's nothing hidden to account for.
💡 Tip: On TopstepX™, you can set a Personal Daily Profit Target to lock in your gains before exceeding the Consistency Target. Go to Settings, then Risk Settings, set your dollar amount and action (Do Nothing, Liquidate, or Liquidate and Block), then save. Read more or watch the video.
Express Funded Account Consistency — Consistency Objective (40%)
The Consistency path in the Express Funded Account® (XFA) rewards Traders who build profit steadily, not in one big day. When you activate your XFA, you choose Standard or Consistency as your Payout path. The Consistency path gets you to Payout eligibility faster but adds a 40% threshold.
Formula: Largest Single-Day Net Profit ÷ Total Net Profit = Consistency %
Your Consistency % must be 40% or below to be Payout eligible. This is not rounded. Any result above 40% does not qualify.
To request a Payout, you must also have:
- A minimum of 3 trading days with at least 1 trade per day
- Example: $3,600 largest day ÷ $9,500 total net profit = 37.9% ✅
If your Consistency % exceeds 40%, keep trading. As you earn more net profit, the percentage will naturally come down.
👉 Your dashboard updates in real time and shows your Consistency %, total net profit, largest single-day profit, and Payout eligibility status.
Does Consistency reset after a Payout?
Yes. After a Payout is requested, your consistency calculation resets to $0 and applies only to profits earned in the new window. All eligibility requirements must be met again.
Consistency rules exist because big spike days don't build funded traders. Sustainable habits do. Here's how the Consistency rules work in the Trading Combine® and the Express Funded Account®.
Section: Trading Combine — Consistency Target (55%)
− Trading Combine — Consistency Target (50%)
− Your single best day of profit must stay at or below 50% of your Profit Target. If it exceeds that, your Profit Target increases. You'll need to earn more to pass.
+ Trading Combine — Consistency Target (55%)
+ Your single best day of profit must stay at or below 55% of your Profit Target. If it exceeds that, your Profit Target increases. You'll need to earn more to pass.
Formula: Best Day Profit ÷ Total Profit = Best Day %
Best Day Recommendations (stay below these to avoid a Profit Target increase):
−
| Account Size | Profit Target | Best Day Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| $50K | $3,000 | Less than $1,500 |
| $100K | $6,000 | Less than $3,000 |
| $150K | $9,000 | Less than $4,500 |
− Example: $1,200 best day ÷ $2,800 total profit = 43% ✅ — Consistency Target met.
− There's a small backend buffer for market fluctuations — you don't need to hit numbers to the penny. You can pass in as few as 2 days, as long as no single day exceeds 50% of your total profit and your Profit Target is met.
+
| $50K | $3,000 | Less than $1,650 |
|---|---|---|
| $100K | $6,000 | Less than $3,300 |
| $150K | $9,000 | Less than $4,950 |
+ Example: $50K account: $1,600 best day ÷ $3,000 total profit = 53% ✅ — Consistency Target met.
+ 55% is a hard line. It is not rounded, and there is no buffer. You can pass in as few as 2 days, as long as no single day exceeds 55% of your total profit and your Profit Target is met.
⚠️ Losses do not reset your best day. The Consistency Target applies regardless of your current account balance.
How does the Best Day lock in?
Your best day updates throughout the session as your P&L moves. At 3:10 PM CT, that day's value locks into your trading history and cannot be changed. A future day becomes your new best day if it exceeds the previous one and locks at 3:10 PM CT on its own day.
What happens if I have a losing day?
Section: What happens if I have a losing day?
− Losses don't reset your best day. If your best day is $1,500 but a losing day brings your total profit down to $1,000, your best day is still $1,500.
− To find your new Profit Target: Best Day ÷ 0.50 = Total Profit Needed.
− Example: $1,500 best day ÷ 0.50 = $3,000 Profit Target. You need to recover losses and reach $3,000 without letting any single day exceed $1,500. If your next day earns $2,000, your best day becomes $2,000 and your new Profit Target becomes $4,000.
+ Losses don't reset your best day. If your best day is $1,650 but a losing day brings your total profit down to $1,000, your best day is still $1,650.
+ To find your new Profit Target: Best Day ÷ 0.55 = Total Profit Needed.
+ Example: On a $50K account, a $1,650 best day ÷ 0.55 = a $3,000 Profit Target. You need to recover losses and reach $3,000 without letting any single day exceed $1,650. If your next day earns $2,200, your best day becomes $2,200 and your new Profit Target becomes $4,000.
Can I fix a Consistency violation by trading more on the same day?
No. If your best day was set during the current trading session (before 3:10 PM CT), any additional profit you earn today adds directly to that best day total — which raises your adjusted Profit Target even further.
To resolve a Consistency Target violation, the remaining profit must be earned on a separate trading day, after the market close of the session in which your best day was set.
Section: Can I fix a Consistency violation by trading more on the same day?
− Example: Your best day is $1,800 (set today, session still open). Your adjusted Profit Target is $3,600. Trading more today to earn the remaining $1,800 will not work — every dollar you earn today increases your best day total, which keeps raising the target.
+ Example: You're in a $50K Trading Combine with a $3,000 Profit Target. Your best day is $2,200 (set today, session still open), so your adjusted Profit Target is $4,000. Trading more today to earn the remaining $1,800 will not work. Every dollar you earn today increases your best day total, which keeps raising the target.
Can I keep trading after hitting my Best Day Recommendation?
Yes, but exceeding it increases your Profit Target and makes the Trading Combine harder to pass.
Section: What happened to the buffer?
+ What happened to the buffer?
+ There is no buffer. 55% is the hard limit. The old buffer was quiet padding on top of a 50% target. Now the number you see is the number that counts, so there's nothing hidden to account for.

Making Your Choice After Passing
Once you successfully pass your evaluation, you'll be prompted to choose between two distinct payout policies for your funded account. This decision is permanent for that account and determines how you'll access your profits.
Select Flex (5-Day Payout Policy)
The 5-Day Payout Policy is designed for traders who prefer accumulating larger profit milestones before requesting withdrawals:
- Payout Frequency: Every 5 winning days
- Payout Caps: Up to 50% of profits ($1,250 / $2,500 / $3,500 / $4,500 caps)
- Daily Loss Limit: None
- Drawdown: End of Day only
- Best For: Traders who want flexibility from having no Daily Loss Limit and larger, less frequent withdrawals
Select Daily Payout Policy
The Daily Payout Policy is designed for traders who value rapid access to profits with daily withdrawal eligibility:
- Payout Frequency: Daily eligibility after meeting buffer requirement
Section: Select Daily Payout Policy
− - Payout Caps: Smaller, more frequent ($600 / $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,500 caps)
- Daily Loss Limit: Yes ($500 / $1,000 / $1,250 / $1,750)
- Buffer System: Required ($1,100 / $2,100 / $2,600 / $3,600)
- Best For: Traders who want consistent daily cash flow and structured risk management
Important Considerations
- Your choice is permanent - Once selected, you cannot change payout policies for that account
- Both lead to live trading - Either policy provides a path to Tradeify Elite Live accounts
- No minimum balance required - Request payouts after 5 winning days regardless of account balance
- Drawdown locks at $100 above starting balance - When your EOD balance exceeds your drawdown amount by $100, your drawdown floor locks permanently (e.g., $25,100 for 25K, $50,100 for 50K, $100,100 for 100K, $150,100 for 150K)
Take time to review both options carefully.

What the page said before and after
Before
Important: If you then close a trade with a $500 loss and your balance drops to $50,500, your limit remains at $49,000 because the drawdown trails the peak (High Water Mark), not the current balance.
Example 3: Locking at Initial Balance
Starting Balance = $50,000
- Scenario: Your previous day’s end-of-day balance reaches $52,000 (4% growth).
- Locked Limit: Your max loss limit (trailing) is now locked at your starting balance of $50,000.
- Outcome: Whether it is day 1 or day 50, if your equity or balance falls below $50,000, the account is terminated.
Risk Rule (Funded & Direct Accounts)
Your risk per trade idea should not exceed 1% of the initial account balance on DX Futures platform and 2% of the initial account balance on Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts platforms.
This rule applies exclusively to Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts and Direct Accounts. It does not apply during the Challenge phase. A violation of this rule is considered a hard breach and will result in account termination.
Stop Loss Requirement
Risk is determined by the maximum potential loss on a trade based on the stop loss placement.
- A Stop Loss is mandatory on every trade. Trades without Stop Loss are considered to have infinite risk. If the floating (unrealized) loss on such a trade or trade idea exceeds 2% /1% (DX Futures) of the initial account balance at any time, the account will be terminated.
Section: Example 3: Locking at Initial Balance
− - Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes a hard breach and may result in account termination.
Once the stop loss requirement is met, risk is assessed based on the Single Trade Idea rule. This includes
- Layering / Splitting Positions
- 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
Layering/Splitting positions
If you open multiple positions on the same assets, same direction, with overlapping time, they are collectively treated as one single trade idea. This includes multiple entries opened and/or closed at different times.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such overlapping positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
In DX Futures, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 1% limit.
In Tradovate, NinjaTrader and WealthCharts, the combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit. View Example ▾

The change in place, line by line
Before
The Blue Guardian Futures Live Account is the highest level of the Blue Guardian Futures program, designed exclusively for traders who have demonstrated exceptional consistency, disciplined risk management, and long-term profitability.
Unlike Evaluation and Funded Accounts, Live Accounts operate using real CME market execution with real capital through Blue Guardian's partnered brokerage infrastructure.
− Live Accounts represent the final progression within the Blue Guardian Futures ecosystem and are earned through performance—not purchased.
Once promoted, traders gain access to real capital, daily payouts, no consistency requirements, and additional incentives designed to reward professional trading.
How do I become eligible for a Live Account?
Live Accounts are not automatically awarded and cannot be purchased.
Instead, traders become eligible for Live Review after demonstrating consistent performance on funded accounts.
A trader may enter the Live Review Pool when one or more of the following conditions are met:
- Successfully reaching Payout 5 on a funded account.
- Receiving a significant amount of lifetime payouts.
- Demonstrating exceptional performance on funded accounts.
- Having previously traded on a Blue Guardian Live Account.
Important
Reaching Payout 5 does not guarantee promotion to a Live Account.
It simply places the trader into the Live Review Pool, where the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team evaluates whether the trader is ready to transition to live capital.
| $25,000 | $1,100 | $1,000 |

| $50,000 | $2,100 | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $3,100 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,600 | $4,500 |
Example
A trader transitions to Live with five $50,000 funded accounts.
Each account begins with:
- $0 starting balance
- $2,000 Live drawdown
Once each account generates $2,100 in profit, the trader receives a $2,000 Live Bonus on each account.
In this example, the trader would receive a total Live Bonus of $10,000.
Please note that the Live Bonus is only available during a trader's first Live transition and cannot be earned again on future Live promotions.
− Live Funding Eligibility by Country
− Live-funded accounts are only available to traders residing in eligible jurisdictions.
− If you reside in one of the countries listed below, you may still purchase and trade Evaluation and Sim Funded accounts. However, you will not be eligible to transition to a Live-funded account after meeting the Live requirements unless otherwise stated or approved by our Compliance Team.

Is reaching Payout 5 a guarantee that I will receive a Live Account?
Reaching Payout 5 places you into the Live Review Pool, but it does not guarantee promotion to a Live Account. Every trader is individually assessed by the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team.
Can I purchase a Live Account?
Live Accounts cannot be purchased and are only earned through consistent trading performance.
Can I buy back a breached Live Account?
Live Accounts cannot be reset, repurchased, or reactivated.
If you breach a Live Account, you must earn another opportunity through the funded program.
What happens if I breach my Live Account?
If a Live Account is breached:
- A standard 2-week cooldown applies before purchasing a new evaluation.
- Traders who repeatedly breach Live Accounts through reckless or excessive risk-taking may be subject to longer cooldown periods at the discretion of the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team.

After
The Blue Guardian Futures Live Account is the highest level of the Blue Guardian Futures program, designed exclusively for traders who have demonstrated exceptional consistency, disciplined risk management, and long-term profitability.
Unlike Evaluation and Funded Accounts, Live Accounts operate using real CME market execution with real capital through Blue Guardian's partnered brokerage infrastructure.
+ Live Accounts represent the final progression within the Blue Guardian Futures ecosystem and are earned through performance, not purchased.
Once promoted, traders gain access to real capital, daily payouts, no consistency requirements, and additional incentives designed to reward professional trading.
How do I become eligible for a Live Account?
Live Accounts are not automatically awarded and cannot be purchased.
Instead, traders become eligible for Live Review after demonstrating consistent performance on funded accounts.
A trader may enter the Live Review Pool when one or more of the following conditions are met:
- Successfully reaching Payout 5 on a funded account.
- Receiving a significant amount of lifetime payouts.
- Demonstrating exceptional performance on funded accounts.
- Having previously traded on a Blue Guardian Live Account.
Important
Reaching Payout 5 does not guarantee promotion to a Live Account.
It simply places the trader into the Live Review Pool, where the Blue Guardian Futures Risk Team evaluates whether the trader is ready to transition to live capital.
| $25,000 | $1,100 | $1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $2,100 | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | $3,100 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,600 | $4,500 |
Example
A trader transitions to Live with five $50,000 funded accounts.
Each account begins with:
- $0 starting balance
- $2,000 Live drawdown
Once each account generates $2,100 in profit, the trader receives a $2,000 Live Bonus on each account.
In this example, the trader would receive a total Live Bonus of $10,000.
Please note that the Live Bonus is only available during a trader's first Live transition and cannot be earned again on future Live promotions.

Section: CPI Release Restrictions
+ - Existing Positions: Traders holding existing positions in Metals (GC, SI, HG, PL) prior to 7:25 AM CT may keep them open and manage them through the CPI window. TopstepX™ automatically enforces these limits, so no manual adjustment is required for existing trades.

Slippage rule for Funded Live traders
Section: Slippage rule for Funded Live traders
− Modified on Sun, 31 May at 11:08 AM
The rule only applies to Funded Live traders.
- Traders who graduate from Funded Sim to Funded Live will have position limits set according to the evaluation account from which they graduated, but these limits may be adjusted based on the balance transferred from the Funded Sim account.
- If trading losses cause your Funded Live account balance to fall below the required slippage buffer, all open positions will be automatically liquidated.
- The slippage thresholds are as follows:
− - $50K account: $500
- $100K account: $750
- $150K account: $1,000
- Any funds remaining in the account after this will be paid to the trader at the 90/10 split.
Please note: The Head of Trading reserves the right to increase the slippage limit if a trader is considered a high-risk trader or during times of extreme market volatility. In both cases, the trader will be notified.
Why do we have the slippage rule?
TradeDay funds traders in the live market with real capital and manages risk as a professional trading group.
The slippage rule helps TradeDay protect capital from slippage during aggressive and volatile market moves.

TL;DR: To request a Performance Reward on the FNL:003 50K Instant Account, you must meet two conditions within your current trading cycle: clear the $2,100 buffer and satisfy the 20% Perpetual Consistency Rule. You can request a Performance Reward, with a 90% Reward Share and withdrawals between $800 and $1,200.
The FundedNext Futures FNL:003 50K Instant Account has no Challenge Phase, so the Performance Reward requirements apply from your very first trading day in the FundedNext Account. A "trading cycle" refers to the period since your last withdrawal or since your account started if you haven't withdrawn yet.
Condition 1 — Buffer Requirement & Minimum required Profit
You must have at least a $2,100 buffer during the current trading cycle. Only profits above the $2,100 buffer limit are withdrawable. The buffer stays in the account.
Condition 2 — 20% Perpetual Consistency Rule
Your highest single trading day ever recorded on the account must not contribute more than 20% of your total cycle profit. This rule prevents your overall results from relying on one exceptionally profitable day. Because it is perpetual, your best-day record carries forward across cycles until you beat it. For a full breakdown with worked examples, see the Perpetual Consistency Rule article here.
Withdrawal limits and Reward Share
Once both conditions are met, the following apply:
- Minimum Withdrawal: $800
- Maximum Withdrawal: $1,200
- Reward Share: 90%
Section: Withdrawal limits and Reward Share
A note on KYC:
KYC must be completed before your first withdrawal. Make sure your verification is done ahead of your first Performance Reward request to avoid delays.

Before
TL;DR: The maximum loss limit (MLL) at FundedNext Futures is the total loss allowed before an account is permanently breached. It follows a trailing end-of-day (EOD) system, updating once per day based on the highest balance reached, moving up with profits but never decreasing with losses. Once the MLL reaches the initial account balance, it locks and no longer increases (For Bolt, Flex and Rapid Pro and Daily It locks at initial balance + $100). If equity falls below the MLL at any time, the account is breached.
The maximum loss limit is the total amount a trader can lose in their Futures Challenge or FundedNext Account before their account is restricted from further trading. The maximum loss limit (MLL) follows a trailing end-of-day (EOD) system. This means it updates once per day, based on the highest balance your account reached that day. It doesn't change in real-time but adjusts at the end of each trading day.
Note: For Bolt, Flex and Rapid Pro and Daily the maximum loss limit stops trailing at Initial balance + $100.
How does the maximum loss limit work?
- Sets the minimum equity a trader can have before the account is hard breached.
- Moves up when the account balance increases until it goes to the initial balance, but never moves down when losses occur.
- Updates only at the end of the trading day (EOD), not in real time.

| Account Size | Rapid | Legacy | Bolt | Flex | Rapid Pro and Daily |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K Account | $1,000 | $1,000 | - | - | $1,000 |

| $150K Account | - | - | - | $4,000 | - |
Example: How does the maximum loss limit adjust over time?
A trader starts with a $100K Legacy Challenge and a maximum loss limit of $3,000. This means the account balance cannot fall below $97,000.
Day 1:
The trader starts with a $100,000 balance. They make a profit of $1,000, bringing their balance to $101,000.
At the end of the day, the maximum loss limit is calculated:
$101,000 - $3,000 = $98,000.
The maximum loss limit is now $98,000.
Day 2:
The trader earns another $2,000, bringing their balance to $103,000.
At the end of the day, the maximum loss limit is recalculated:
$103,000 - $3,000 = $100,000.
Since the maximum loss limit has reached the initial balance of $100,000, it locks here and will not increase any further.
Day 3:
The trader's balance drops by $2,000 to $101,000. However, the maximum loss limit remains at $100,000 and does not decrease.
Day 4:
The trader's balance increases by $5,000, reaching $106,000.
At the end of the day, the maximum loss limit stays locked at $100,000. Despite the increased balance, the maximum loss limit won’t increase further beyond the initial balance.
If the trader's balance drops below $100,000 at any point, the account will be permanently breached.
The maximum loss limit adjusts based on the highest balance at the end of each trading day. However, once your profit increases enough that the maximum loss limit reaches the initial account balance, it locks at that level and does not move further.
Note:
- For FundedNext Futures Legacy Account the maximum loss limit will stop trailing once it reaches $25,000 ($25K), $50,00 0($50K) and $100,000 ($100K).
- For FundedNext Futures Flex Account the maximum loss limit will stop trailing once it reaches $50,100 ($50K), $100,100 ($100K) and $150,100 ($150K).
- For FundedNext Futures Rapid Pro and Daily Account the maximum loss limit will stop trailing once it reaches $25,100 ($25K), $50,100 ($50K) and $100,100 ($100K).
Section: Day 4:
- For FundedNext Futures Bolt Account (Discontinued), the maximum loss limit will stop trailing once it reaches $50,100.
− - For FundedNext Futures Rapid Account (Discontinued), the maximum loss limit will stop trailing once it reaches $25,000 ($25K), $50,00 0($50K) and $100,000 ($100K).
Key Takeaways:
- Trailing EOD system: The maximum loss limit moves up with profits and locks at the initial balance. It will not decrease with any losses.
- Hard breach: If a trader's balance reaches the maximum loss limit, the account is permanently breached.
- Updated at the end of the trading day: The maximum loss limit adjusts only at the end of each trading day based on the highest balance reached. It does not change in real time. However, if your floating loss reaches the maximum loss limit during an active trade, your account will be instantly breached.
- When the account reaches a profit equivalent to the maximum loss limit, the maximum loss limit locks in to the initial balance.
Tip: To manage your maximum loss limit effectively, track your account balance daily, use proper risk management, and plan trades carefully to ensure growth while staying within limits.
Note: Effective 10 July 2026, Rapid and Bolt accounts will no longer be available for new purchases or account resets.

Multiple Accounts:
- When multiple Rapid accounts are transitioned to Live, the Max Loss Limit increases proportionately based on how many accounts are moved. Instead of multiple Live accounts, parameters are combined into one Live account. The Max Contracts will be discussed with the Live team in this case.
2. Live Account Transition Criteria
Traders may be transitioned from Rapid Sim Funded to Live through two primary pathways:
- Automatic Live transition occurs when you generate $10,000 in net profit within a single trading session. Upon meeting this criterion, immediate transition to Live account status is initiated, and any profit exceeding $10,000 for that trading day is forfeited.
- Any remaining Sim Funded profits exceeding the Reserve allocation become available for withdrawal under standard profit-sharing arrangements.
- All simulated trading accounts and additional purchases are suspended during Live account operation.
- Program establishment:
- Up to $5,000 of Sim Funded profits are allocated to Reserve Program balance.
- Traders now operate a Live account, managing actual capital on behalf of My Funded Futures.

- Your Max Loss Limit trails based on your EOD balance until the MLL reaches $0.
- There is no buffer requirement on the Rapid Live account.

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.

Note, you can use a copy trader to copy trades from your personal account elsewhere into your TradeDay account.
Can I trade Funded Live and Funded Sim accounts at the same time or use copy trading?
No. Funded Live and Funded Sim accounts must be traded separately. You cannot trade them simultaneously, and copy trading between these accounts is not possible. Each account must be managed and executed independently.
Note: You may trade or copy trade between 2 or 3 Funded Sim accounts only.

Fast Pass Funded Sim Payout Policy
Section: Fast Pass Funded Sim Payout Policy
− Modified on Tue, 1 Sep at 6:47 AM
There is no buffer requirement for Fast Pass Funded Sim accounts. However, traders must meet the following conditions before requesting a payout and for subsequent payout requests.
Payout Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for a payout, the account must meet all of the following conditions:
- The minimum payout request amount is $250
- The account balance must be above the starting account balance
- The account must show a net profit since the previous payout request
- The trader must complete a minimum of 5 individual profitable trading days (days do not need to be consecutive)
- For accounts opened on and after July 26 2026, accounts must satisfy the consistency objective.
- There will be an 80/20 profit split.
Important: Once you submit a payout request, do not resume trading until you have received your payout. Your next Day 1 begins at the start of the following trading session, not the session in which the payout was received. For example: if you request a payout on Wednesday at 7 PM CT and receive it on Thursday at 3 AM CT, that Thursday morning falls within the Thursday session (5 PM CT Wednesday – 4 PM CT Thursday). Day 1 of your new cycle does not begin until the Friday session opens at 5 PM CT Thursday, with that day counting once it closes at 4 PM CT Friday. For payouts processed on a Saturday, Day 1 of your new cycle is the Monday session, which runs from 5 PM CT Sunday to 4 PM CT Monday.
Minimum Profitable Day Requirements
Each profitable trading day must meet the following minimum profit amount based on account size:
- $100K Account: 5 days with at least $200 profit per day
- $150K Account: 5 days with at least $250 profit per day
Trailing Maximum Drawdown (TMD) Adjustment
On the first payout request, if the Trailing Maximum Drawdown (TMD) has not yet reached the starting account balance, it will automatically move up to the starting account balance and remain fixed there moving forward.
Consistency Requirement
For accounts opened on and after July 26 2026, accounts must satisfy the consistency objective: no single day can make up more than 45% of your total gross profits (gross profits being current profits + payouts)
For accounts opened before July 26 2026, there is no consistency objective in the Funded Sim account.
Payout Limits
Payout requests are limited to a maximum of 50% of the account balance and are also capped based on account tier:
For accounts opened on and after July 26 2026, the payout caps are as below:
- $750 on a 25K
- $1,500 on a 50K,
Section: Payout Limits
− - $1,850 on a 100K
- $2,250 on a 150K.
For accounts opened before July 26 2026, the payout caps are as below:
- $2,000 on a 50K,
- $2,500 on a 100K
- $3,000 on a 150K.
Payout example on $50k FS account (for accounts opened before July 26 2026):
First Payout
Current balance after trading, making profits: $6,000 ($56k)
✅ Five full winning days of $150+
✅ Balance above starting account balance
You qualify for a payout of 50% of your account balance (up to $2000 -the 50k payout cap)
Take a $2,000 payout → your balance is now $4,000 ($54K).

Multiple Accounts
Section: Multiple Accounts
− Modified on Mon, 6 Jul at 9:54 AM
− - Traders can have up to 6 accounts at any one time.
− - The maximum number of active Funded Sim accounts is 3 (If a trader passes 6 evaluations, 3 will be queued, while the other three will be active).
- Traders can have multiple accounts across different evaluation tiers and drawdown types.
− - Traders can only have multiple accounts on one trading platform.
- Each Funded Sim account will be evaluated separately.
- Traders can have up to 5 Funded Live accounts. When in Funded Live, you will not be able to purchase additional accounts.
- Traders can use a copy trader to copy trades from their personal account elsewhere into their TradeDay evaluation and Funded accounts.
- Traders can have only one username and only one user per household. DO NOT sign up under different usernames.
Number of multiple accounts and signing up
− Traders can have up to 6 accounts at any one time. The total is calculated across all evaluation account types.
− If a trader passes more than 3 evaluations, only 3 of these will be moved to Funded Sim status. Any additional passed evaluations will be queued and moved to an active Funded Sim only when one of the 3 Funded Sim accounts is lost or when Funded Sim accounts are moved to Funded Live.
If a trader has an active Funded Live account, they will not be able to purchase additional accounts until they have been off-boarded from the Funded Live.
− Trading platforms
− Traders can only have multiple accounts on one trading platform. A trader cannot split the trading account across different trading platforms (for example, you cannot have a 50k evaluation on Tradovate and a 50k evaluation on Rithmic).
Evaluation tiers and Drawdowns
− There are no restrictions on having multiple accounts across different drawdown types or evaluation tiers. However, as mentioned above, they all need to be on the same platform.
Multiple accounts and Funded Sim Thresholds
Upon reaching each of the Quick Pay Funded Sim thresholds (see FAQ here), each Funded Sim account will be evaluated separately, and the Head of Trading will make a decision on whether to extend or to transition individual or multiple accounts to a Funded Live account. There is no threshold for Fast Pass Funded Sim accounts.
Multiple accounts and Funded Live accounts.
− Traders can have up to 5 Funded Live accounts. When moving from Quick Pay Funded Sim to Quick Pay Funded Live, the profits from each Funded Sim account will be moved into a new Funded Live account. For a Fass Pass Funded sim to Funded live a new account will be created. The position limits for Funded Live will be the same as those for the Funded Sim that passed, but they may be reduced to reflect the account balance and risk.
If the trader already has 5 Funded Live accounts, any additional Funded Sim accounts will have their balance merged with an existing Funded Live account. The position limits for the Funded Live account will be set at the highest level among the Funded Sim accounts from which the trader is graduating, but they may be reduced to reflect the account balance and risk.
TradeDay reserves the right to reduce position limits based on withdrawals and losses.
Example:
− - User passes 6 evaluations.
− - Takes x3 to activate Funded Sim, x3 left paused Funded Sim.
− - x3 active Funded Sims are then graduated to x3 Funded Live accounts.
− - The trader then trades the x3 Funded Sims that were paused, now active (plus has x3 Funded Live).
− - The trader has x2 active Funded Sim graduated to Funded Live.
− - Now has x1 active Funded Sims and x5 active Funded Live accounts.
− Traders can only have x5 Funded Live accounts, as this is a limitation set by NT.
How to get set up on Multiple Accounts
Each new account is purchased as a new subscription and is managed separately. After you have signed up for your initial evaluation, you can add a new account by creating a new subscription. The easiest way to do this is to log in to the member’s area and select "ADD SUBSCRIPTION" from the top-right profile menu.
Full instructions on how to purchase and set up can be found in the member’s area on this page here.
Hedging
Hedging is prohibited at TradeDay (the practice of simultaneously going long in one account and short in another account for the same product). Users caught hedging will be offboarded and suspended, and will forfeit all profits in funded accounts.
Do you need a trade copier?
TradeDay has secured discounts on trade copying software for our traders.
If you are interested in trade copying across different accounts, some platforms have built-in trade copiers (for example, Tradovate, and Quantower). However, if you need to purchase one, we recommend the copiers below.
Before purchasing one of these trade copiers, please ensure that it offers the features you require and is compatible with your setup. You will need to contact their support for help with this.
