The Short Answer
You can start managing up to $1,000,000 from day one. With consistent performance, you can scale that to $4,000,000 through our Scaling Plan.
No other prop firm offers this combination of starting capital and growth potential.
Starting Capital by Program
Different programs offer different account sizes depending on your trading style and experience level.
Challenge Programs (evaluation required):
Ash, Thunderbolt, Phoenix, Astral, Obsidian, and Eon all offer accounts ranging from $5,000 to $1,000,000. The difference is in how many phases you need to pass before getting funded. Ash is a half-step evaluation, Thunderbolt is 1-phase, Phoenix is 2-phase, and so on up to Eon's 5-phase structure.
Instant Funding (no evaluation):
Vanguard lets you skip the challenge entirely and start trading a funded account immediately. Account sizes range from $5,000 to $300,000.

Ash (Half-Step): $5,000 to $1,000,000

Growing Beyond Your Starting Capital
Getting funded is just the beginning. Through our Scaling Plan, you can increase your account balance by 35% every four months.
The requirements are straightforward: achieve 15% cumulative growth over four consecutive months, complete at least two payouts, and end the period with a positive balance. Meet all three, and your account grows by 35%.
Starting with $100,000, consistent performance gets you to $4,000,000 in about four years. No new challenges, no additional fees. Just growth based on results.
The Path to $4,000,000
Here's what the journey looks like from a $100,000 starting point:
$100,000 → $135,000 → $182,250 → $246,037 → $332,150 → $448,403 → $605,344 → $817,214 → $1,103,239 → $1,489,373 → $2,010,653 → $2,714,382 → $3,664,416 → $4,000,000
Every step represents four months of consistent, profitable trading.
