$5,000 · $10,000 · $25,000 · $50,000 · $100,000 · $200,000 · $300,000 · $400,000 · $500,000 · $600,000 · $700,000 · $800,000 · $900,000 · $1,000,000 · $1,250,000 · $1,500,000
Challenge Phase Rules
Profit Target: 9%
Reach 9% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed before the challenge is considered complete.
Daily Drawdown: 3%
Maximum loss allowed within a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC). On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $3,000.
Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6%
Your account is protected by our Dynamic Risk Shield™, a drawdown mechanism that moves up with your profits but never goes down.
It tracks your account's highest equity point (High Water Mark). The drawdown limit is always 6% below this peak. As your equity grows, the shield rises with it. Once the shield rises, it stays at that level permanently and never decreases. The maximum shield level equals your initial balance.
Example on a $100,000 account:
Scenario | Equity | Shield | Status |
Start | $100,000 | $94,000 | Active |
Profit +$5,000 | $105,000 | $98,700 | Shield rises |
Loss -$3,000 | $102,000 | $98,700 | Still safe |
Loss -$2,500 | $99,500 | $98,700 | Still safe |
This rewards consistent growth while protecting against significant drawdowns.
Minimum Trading Days: 2
A day counts as a trading day only when it reaches at least 0.5% profit, calculated from the initial balance. On a $100,000 account, that is $500.
Consistency: none
There is no consistency rule in the challenge.
How to Pass the Challenge
Reach at least 9% net profit over at least 2 trading days. Stay above the 3% Daily Drawdown and the 6% Dynamic Risk Shield™ at all times.
Close all positions before completion.
Once you meet all conditions, you are eligible for a funded account.
Funded Phase. This Is Where It Counts
You passed.
Now the rules tighten, because now the capital is real. And there is still no consistency rule.
Profit Split: up to 100%
Daily Drawdown: 3%
On a $100,000 funded account, your maximum daily loss is $3,000.
Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6%
The same 6% Dynamic Risk Shield™ carries over from the challenge. It tracks your highest equity point, with the drawdown limit fixed 6% below the peak. It only moves upward, never down. Maximum shield level equals your initial balance.
Max Single Trade Loss: 3%
Your realized loss on any single trade cannot exceed 1.5% of the initial account balance. On a $100,000 account, that is $1,500 maximum loss per trade. On a $500,000 account, it is $7,500.
Minimum Trading Days:
· 3 trading days on accounts up to $50,000
· 4 trading days above $50,000 up to $200,000
· 5 trading days above $200,000
A day counts as a trading day only when it reaches at least 0.5% profit, calculated from the initial balance. On a $100,000 account, that is $500.
No Consistency Rule
There is no Best Day Rule and no consistency requirement on this account. How your profit is spread across days does not affect your payout.
Payout Requirement: 3%
Before requesting a payout, you must generate at least 3% profit calculated from your initial balance. On a $100,000 account, that is $3,000 minimum profit before you can withdraw. The 3% requirement applies between payouts as well.
Payout Frequency: every 14 days (bi-weekly)
You can request your first payout 14 days after your funded account starts, and every 14 days after that.
