Direct to Funded accounts are designed for traders to begin trading within the Sim Funded environment without an initial Evaluation process. The Direct to Funded program uses a static drawdown rule, daily loss limits, and a structured payout system, ensuring disciplined trading while rewarding profitability within the long run. Stay within the guidelines, manage risk effectively, and unlock the potential for higher payouts as you advance.
Starting Balance and Drawdown
=> Starting Balance
$3500
=> Account Failure Threshold
If the balance falls below the $1000 minimum static balance, the account will consequently close.
Overall Drawdown Available
You have $2500 of drawdown available - Once this drawdown has exhausted and the minimum static balance has been met, this will result in an account closure.
=> 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 day.
=> 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).
=> Profit Split
50/50 split (50% to the trader, 50% to the firm) => After 30 trading days, the profit split increases to an 80/20 split (80% to the trader, 20% to the firm)
Payout Eligibility: Payouts can only be taken on the balance above $3500.
Up to 5 DTF accounts per trader (assuming no other active accounts).
Payouts are available during the trading week in alignment with the 21% consistency rule.
Payout cap week starts Friday after 11AM EST for Monday - Friday before 11 AM EST
Weekly payout limits by account type:
Weekly Cap is $3000, Once in Brokerage there is no cap.
➡️ Max total potential: $15,000/week in payout requests with 5 accounts.
➡️ Account credits capped: $1,000 per trader/month.
