Every number, and how it is measured
You know every rule before your first trade, it is identical for every trader on the same plan, and nothing changes mid-challenge. Where a rule differs by type, both numbers are shown: two-step first, one-step second.
What it is, how it is measured, and a worked example
Most firms publish the numbers. This page also publishes the measurement, with every example worked on a $10,000 account.
Daily drawdown
6% · 2%
The most your equity may fall in a single trading day: 6% on the two-step, 2% on the one-step.
- How it is measured
- Measured against your balance at each daily reset, not a rolling intraday high. The reset is the countdown timer shown in your trader panel; when it reaches zero, the floor is set once from your balance at that moment and holds until the next reset.
- Worked example
- On a $10,000 two-step account: the last reset left your balance at $10,200, so today’s floor is $9,588, 6% below it. A strong morning does not raise the floor mid-day, and a good day never tightens tomorrow’s limit.
Total drawdown
10% · 5%
The floor under the whole evaluation: 10% on the two-step, 5% on the one-step.
- How it is measured
- A single static floor, set from your starting balance the moment the account provisions. No trailing peak: a winning run never raises the bar, and the floor is the same on day one and day ninety.
- Worked example
- On a $10,000 two-step account the floor is $9,000, always. Run the account to $13,000 and the floor is still $9,000, not a trailed $11,700. The one-step floor sits at $9,500, the same way.
Profit target
5% + 10% · 10%
The one number that passes a stage: 5% then 10% on the two-step, a single 10% on the one-step.
- How it is measured
- One target per stage, measured on your balance: the pass confirms the moment a closed trade takes your balance past the target. No review queue, no human in the loop, no waiting for a nightly close. The only wait is the minimum trading days below.
- Worked example
- On a $10,000 two-step account: the moment your balance reaches $10,500 in stage 1 you have passed, and the next stage provisions itself. Stage 2 passes at $11,000, and the funded account follows automatically, with payouts from there.
Minimum trading days
3
How many separate days you must place a trade on before a pass counts. 3, on both types.
- How it is measured
- A day counts when at least one trade is opened on it. Hit the target on day one and the pass confirms the moment your third trading day is on the record; the target does not have to be held until then.
- Worked example
- Cross the target on Monday, trade again Tuesday and Wednesday, and the stage passes on Wednesday’s first trade. Hit it on day five and you pass on the spot.
Max floating risk
2% · none
The most you may have at risk in open positions at any one moment: 2% on the two-step. The one-step has no floating-risk rule.
- How it is measured
- Measured live from unrealised loss on every tick, as a share of the current balance. Closed trades do not count; this is about how much you hold open. A breach caused purely by slippage on a fill can be waived after a support review.
- Worked example
- On a $10,000 two-step account, open positions may never be more than $200 underwater combined. Three trades each $80 down is a breach; one trade $150 down is not.
Consistency rule
40%
No single day may account for more than 40% of your profit. Applies to the funded $10K account only, not to evaluation stages, not to smaller funded accounts.
- How it is measured
- Checked at payout on the funded $10K account: the best day’s profit is compared to the total profit in the cycle. It is published here precisely so it is never a surprise at withdrawal.
- Worked example
- A $1,000 profit cycle on the funded $10K account with one $450 day breaches the rule; spread the same $1,000 over days of at most $400 and it does not.
Time limit
None
How long you have. Here: as long as you need, but see the inactivity rule.
- How it is measured
- Unlimited-duration challenges are a first-class choice, and the rule set is identical either way; the other rules do not tighten because you take your time. The one clock is inactivity: an account with no trade for 30 days closes.
- Worked example
- Pass in a week or in a year; the targets and floors are the same numbers on both timelines. Take the time your strategy needs, just place a trade at least once every 30 days.
Account conduct
30 seconds · no hedging
Every trade stays open at least 30 seconds. Hedging between your personal and prop accounts is not allowed; copy trading from your own personal account into the prop account is allowed. The platform’s investor password stays as issued, and an account stays on the broker it was bought on.
- How it is measured
- Trade duration is measured from the recorded open to the recorded close. Cross-account hedging is detected from the event log and enforced with citations; the notice names the trades. Changing the investor password is a breach; try a broker on a demo account before you buy, because accounts do not transfer between brokers.
- Worked example
- A scalp closed after 20 seconds breaches the duration rule. Running the same strategy on your personal account and the prop account is fine; running opposite sides of it on each is not.
Prohibited practices
7 styles
Gap trading, arbitrage between markets or brokers, double-sided bracket orders, high-frequency bursts, martingale and grid systems, coordinated or group trading, and copying another trader’s account.
- How it is measured
- Detected from the event log and enforced with citations; the notice names the trades. The full definitions live in the terms, and the list is closed: if a practice is not listed there or here, it is not prohibited.
- Worked example
- Placing buy and sell stops on the same symbol at the same time to catch a news spike in either direction is a bracket order and a breach. One pending order used to enter a trade is a normal entry.
News & weekends
Allowed
Trading through news releases and holding positions over the weekend are both allowed, on every plan and every size.
- How it is measured
- Weekend days do not add trading days toward the minimum. Around major releases, spread widening and slippage are part of the market; managing them is part of the evaluation, and a floor crossed on a news tick is still crossed.
- Worked example
- Hold a position from Friday into Monday and nothing changes but the calendar: Saturday and Sunday add no trading days. Trade the release itself if that is your edge; the drawdown floors apply as on any other tick.
Account limits
$15,000
One registration per person, and at most $15,000 of combined account size active at once, across both challenge types.
- How it is measured
- Counted across all your active evaluation and funded accounts, by starting size. Registering twice, or buying past the cap, is a breach that closes the accounts involved, so check your total before you buy.
- Worked example
- A $10,000 and a $5,000 account together sit exactly at the cap. Adding a $1,000 account on top goes over it; wait until one of the two is closed.
Two outcomes, both immediate
The engine that shows you your numbers is the engine that decides. Whichever way it goes, you know at the moment it happens.
When a rule is hit
The moment your equity crosses a floor, the account stops. The engine decides on the tick, the same way it confirms a pass. You keep your trading profile and your full account history, so you can see precisely what went wrong. Starting again is a new evaluation at the normal fee; there is no penalty beyond that.
When you pass
The pass confirms live, the moment your balance reaches the target. The next stage provisions itself, and at the funded stage payouts begin: 80% of what you make, paid bi-weekly, with your evaluation fee back in full on the first one. No review queue, no waiting on a human.
You register once, as yourself. From there you may run several accounts at the same time, on either challenge type, as long as their combined starting size stays within $15,000.
No. Take the time your strategy needs. The only clock is inactivity: an account with no trade for 30 days closes.
Daily drawdown resets from your balance once a day, at the countdown timer shown in your trader panel, and total drawdown is one fixed floor from your starting balance. Nothing trails, and nothing tightens after you start.
Both are allowed, on every plan. Weekend days do not count toward the minimum trading days, and the spread widening and slippage around major releases are yours to manage; a floor crossed on a news tick is still crossed.
Gap trading, arbitrage between markets or brokers, double-sided bracket orders, high-frequency bursts, martingale and grid systems, coordinated or group trading, and copying another trader’s account. The list is closed: if a practice is not on it, it is not prohibited.
No. The rules are fixed the moment your account provisions and stay the same for its whole life. What the plan says is what the engine enforces.
Yes, 3. Hit the target on day one and your pass confirms the moment your third trading day is on record.
You may copy your own personal account into your FundedTick account. Hedging between accounts is not allowed, and every trade must stay open at least 30 seconds.
One: on the funded $10K account only, no single day may account for more than 40% of your profit. It is published here and on the rules page, not discovered at withdrawal. There is no first-payout cap and no profit buffer.
