- Account size
- $100,000
- Evaluation fee
- $405 one-time
Profit target — explain simply
Profit target The profit an evaluation account must reach, without breaking any rule, to pass that phase.Example: $50,000 account with a 6% target: you must make $3,000.Watch out: Reaching the target does not override other rules such as minimum trading days.More plain-language terms- 10% Step 1, 5% Step 2
Daily loss limit — explain simply
Daily loss limit The most an account may lose within one trading day. Breaching it usually fails the account or ends trading for the day.Example: $100,000 starting balance, 5% daily limit: a $5,000 loss in one day (often including open losses) breaches it.Watch out: Firms differ on whether it is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, and when the day resets.More plain-language terms- 4%
Max drawdown — explain simply
Drawdown How far an account has fallen from a previous high point. A 'maximum drawdown' rule sets how far the balance may fall before the account fails.Example: An account peaks at $10,500 and falls to $9,800: the drawdown from that peak is $700 (about 6.7%).Watch out: Prop firms measure drawdown differently (static, trailing, end-of-day). Read the exact rule.More plain-language terms- 8%
Minimum days — explain simply
Minimum trading days The fewest separate days you must trade before passing or requesting a payout, even if the target is reached sooner.More plain-language terms- 3 profitable days per step (0.5% of initial balance)
Profit split — explain simply
Profit split The share of eligible profits a funded trader receives under the firm's payout rules.Example: An 80% split on $2,000 of eligible profit is $1,600 to the trader, before any payout conditions.Watch out: Payout timing, minimums and eligibility rules matter as much as the percentage.More plain-language terms- 80% at $100K, rising to 100% via scaling plan
- Payouts
- Funded: payout cap $4,000, min withdrawal $500 on $100K; fee refunded
- Platforms
- MetaTrader 5
- Instruments

Reset / retry — explain simply
Reset Restarting a prop evaluation from the original balance and rules, usually for a fee, after failing or to start over.Watch out: Repeated resets add up — count them in the true cost of a programme.More plain-language terms- Not published
- Restrictions
- No trades within 2 min of high-impact news; 30 days inactivity expires account; 'Classic' variant: 8% Step 1, $455

How to read these rules
- Daily loss limit — breaching it on any day usually ends the evaluation, even if the account is in profit overall.
- Trailing drawdown follows your highest balance (or end-of-day balance) up; a static limit stays fixed from the starting balance. Trailing is stricter after a winning run.
- Profit split applies to funded-account profits; check the payout schedule, minimums and any consistency rule before relying on it.
- Run the numbers with the Trade Before You Trade calculator: size each position from the firm’s loss limits, not from conviction.
About this data. Every rule and price is taken from the firm's own website on the date shown, with a link to the page. Firms change their rules often — confirm on the official page before you pay. “Not published” means we could not find the value on an official page; we never estimate it. Order is by your filters or alphabetical, never by commission. Prop-firm evaluations are paid products; most traders do not pass, and a funded account is not a guarantee of income.
