Description to Direct to Funded

Updated over a week ago

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.

  • Additional Notes:

    => There are no resets to Direct to Funded Accounts.
    => As Direct to Funded Accounts are Sim Funded accounts, the 5K Daily Profit Limit and 10K Weekly Profit Limit will apply as standard thresholds.
