What is the Profit Target?
The Profit Target is the amount you must earn during the evaluation phase to successfully pass your account.
Example
If you purchase a $50,000 Beginner Account, your target is:
$50,000 + $3,000 = $53,000
Once your account balance reaches $53,000, you have completed the profit target requirement.
What is the Daily Loss Limit?
The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount you can lose during a trading day.
If your losses exceed this limit, your account will be considered breached.
Example
On a $100,000 Account:
- Daily Loss Limit: $2,500
- Starting Balance: $100,000
If your equity falls below $97,500 during the trading day, the account will violate the rule.
What is the Maximum Drawdown?
The Maximum Drawdown represents the total amount your account may lose before being breached.
Example
On a $25,000 Account:
- Starting Balance: $25,000
- Maximum Drawdown: $1,000
Your account may not fall below:
$24,000
If it does, the account will be breached.
What Does End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown Mean?
The Beginner Account uses an End-of-Day Drawdown model.
This means the drawdown level is calculated based on your account balance at the end of each trading day and does not trail intraday profits.
Many traders prefer EOD drawdown because it allows greater flexibility when managing trades and open positions.
What is the Maximum Position Size?
Each account comes with a contract limit that may not be exceeded.
| Account Size | Maximum Contracts |
|---|
| $25,000 | 1 |
| $50,000 | 3 |
| $100,000 | 6 |
| $150,000 | 9 |
Opening positions above these limits may result in a rule violation.
Is There an Activation Fee?
No.
All Beginner Accounts include:
✅ No activation fees
✅ No hidden fees
✅ Immediate access after passing
✅ Weekly reward eligibility
What is the Consistency Rule?
The Beginner Account uses a 40% Consistency Rule.
This means your largest trading day cannot account for more than 40% of your total profits.
Example
If your total profit is:
$5,000
Then your largest trading day may not exceed:
$2,000 (40%)
This encourages consistent risk management and sustainable trading performance.
Are Micro Contracts Allowed?
Yes.
Micro contracts are fully supported and can be used to manage risk more precisely.
Many traders use micro contracts to:
- Scale into positions
- Reduce risk exposure
- Improve consistency
- Maintain better drawdown control
How Do Rewards Work?
All Beginner Accounts qualify for:
✅ Weekly reward requests
✅ 100% reward split
✅ Minimum reward request of $250
Once you meet the payout requirements, you may submit a reward request according to the weekly payout schedule.
Reward Cap Per Request
Each Beginner Account has a maximum reward amount that can be requested during a payout cycle.
| Account Size | Reward Cap |
|---|
| $25,000 | $750 |
| $50,000 | $1,500 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 |
Example
If you trade a $50,000 account and generate $2,000 in profits during a payout cycle:
- Maximum reward request: $1,500
- Remaining profits stay in the account for future withdrawals.
Balance Target Balance
The Balance Target is the account level you must reach before becoming eligible for rewards.
| Account Size | Balance Target Balance |
|---|
| $25,000 | $26,500 |
| $50,000 | $53,500 |
| $100,000 | $107,000 |
| $150,000 | $110,500 |
Example
A trader with a $100,000 account must first grow the account to $107,000 before reward eligibility begins.
This buffer helps create a safety margin while maintaining account stability.
