Starting Balance and Drawdown

=> Starting Balance

$3,500

=> Account Failure Threshold

If the balance falls below $1,000, the account is closed (i.e., you have a $2,500 overall drawdown).

=> Contract Limits

Max Position Size

5 mini contracts OR 50 micro contracts (futures).

=> Daily Loss Limit

Maximum Daily Loss

$2,000 per day. Exceeding this daily limit pauses trading until the next trading day.

=> Negative Day Allowance

Rule

For every rolling 10 trading days (actually traded days), you may have 3 negative days. (This means 4 days will Fail Account)

Example: In a 10-day span, at least 7 days should be profitable.

=> Consistency & Payout Structure

21% Consistency Rule

  • To be eligible for a payout, your largest single-day profit cannot exceed 21% of your total net profits. Formally, if you sum up all trading days' PnL, the highest single-day PnL must be ≤ 21% of that total.

  • Example: If the sum of your profitable trading days is $10,000, then no single day's PnL should exceed $2,100 (21% of $10,000).

  • Consistency is based exclusively on days when you make a profit—that is, positive trading days. Any day you lose money (negative profit) is disregarded in the calculation. When you take a payout, the starting point for calculating consistency is set to that payout date. Any trading before that date won't count toward the consistency calculation for your next payout.

  • Weekly Payout Cap $3000

=> Profit Split

  • First 30 Trading Days: 50/50 split on net profits.

  • After 30 Trading Days: 80/20 split (80% to the trader, 20% to the firm).

  • Payout Eligibility: Payouts can only be taken on the balance above $3,500.

=> Example Scenario

  • You start with $3,500 in the account.

  • Your maximum position size at any time is 5 mini or 50 micro contracts.

  • Each day, you cannot lose more than $2,000;

  • You must keep your largest daily gain within 21% of your total net profits (consistency rule).

  • You can only have 3 red (negative) day per every 10 trading days.

  • If your balance ever drops below $1,000, the account is closed.

  • Payouts are only allowed on any balance above $3,500 (i.e., profits above the starting balance) - The minimum payout request amount is $250

  • Profit split is 50/50 for the first 30 trading days, then 80/20 afterward.
