50KStandard pricing path: $49/month Combine subscription (rebills every 30 days from signup until passed or canceled) + $149 one-time Activation Fee charged once when the Combine is passed and the Express Funded Account (XFA) is issued. No-Activation-Fee path: $95/month base, or $85/month with the optional Daily Loss Limit add-on (a $10/month 'Responsible Trading Discount'); $0 activation fee on this path.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: End-of-Day Trailing Max Loss Limit (MLL). It trails upward with each new end-of-day closing balance high but never trails down, and it locks permanently (stops trailing) once it reaches the account's starting balance (breakeven). It is monitored in real time intraday — both realized and unrealized P&L count toward it, and the account is liquidated immediately if net P&L touches the current floor at any moment — even though the floor value itself only steps once per day at the close (~3:10 PM CT). This is NOT a static drawdown and NOT a pure intraday-trailing drawdown; it is officially described as trailing the end-of-day balance, not intraday peaks.
Daily loss limit: Optional add-on, selectable at checkout or configured afterward (not mandatory in the Combine). Amount: $1,000 for the 50K tier. Resets each session at 5:00 PM CT. Hitting it flattens open positions and cancels pending orders for the rest of that session (no new trades until the next 5:00 PM CT open) but is explicitly NOT a rule violation and does not fail the evaluation.
Consistency rule: Best single trading day's profit must be ≤50% of total accumulated profit toward the Profit Target (Best Day ÷ Total Profit ≤ 50%). The best-day value locks at 3:10 PM CT each day; a later losing day does not reduce a previously locked best day. Breaching 50% does not fail the account outright — instead the required Profit Target is raised to (Best Day ÷ 0.50).
Minimum trading days: No separately stated formal minimum-day count. Topstep's own help content says a trader 'can pass in as few as two days,' provided no single day exceeds 50% of total profit — so 2 days is the practical floor created by the consistency math itself, not an independent day-count rule. Third-party sources agree there is no hard minimum beyond this (medium confidence on the 'no hard minimum' framing specifically, since it is not stated as an explicit numbered rule on topstep.com).
Max contracts: 5 full-size contracts (50 micro contracts). Micro contracts count against the limit at a 10:1 ratio versus minis/full-size.
Other pass rules: Day-trading only: all positions must be flat by 3:10 PM CT every weekday (no overnight or weekend holds); trading resumes at 5:00 PM CT. The Combine is a rebilling monthly subscription until passed or canceled.

Funded phase

Account type: Express Funded Account (XFA) — a simulated funded account, not live capital. A further, separate real-money stage (Live Funded Account / LFA) exists beyond the XFA; see universal_rules for how traders reach it.
Activation / monthly fee: $149 one-time Activation Fee (Standard pricing path) charged once when the Combine is passed and the XFA is issued; $0 if the trader originally selected the No-Activation-Fee Combine pricing path. No separate recurring monthly fee was found for the XFA stage itself.
Drawdown: $2,000 Max Loss Limit — same dollar figure as the Combine.
Drawdown type: Same End-of-Day Trailing MLL mechanic as the Combine (trails up with new EOD balance highs, locks permanently at breakeven). Per Topstep's payout policy, after each payout is processed the MLL cushion resets to $0 buffer above the (now-reduced) floor, forcing the trader to rebuild a profit cushion before further drawdown room exists.
Daily loss limit: Optional, same $1,000 amount and same 5:00 PM CT reset / non-violation flatten-and-pause behavior as the Combine.
Consistency / payout rule: Payout path is chosen once at XFA activation and is fixed for that cycle (cannot switch mid-cycle). Standard path: no percentage cap — requires 5 non-consecutive winning days of $150+ net profit each, plus positive net profit since the last payout. Consistency path: requires a minimum of 3 trading days with at least 1 trade on each, and the largest single day's net profit must be ≤40% of total net profit (a strict, non-rounded cutoff — 40.1% fails).
Payout schedule: Payout requests may be submitted any time markets are open: Sunday 5:00 PM CT through Friday 5:00 PM CT (excluding holidays). No stated cap on request frequency once each cycle's requirements are re-met. Minimum payout amount: $125.
Profit split: 90/10 (trader keeps 90%, Topstep keeps 10%). Legacy exception: traders onboarded to the new dashboard before 2026-01-12 keep 100% of their first $10,000 in lifetime profit before the 90/10 split applies to profit thereafter.
Scaling / contract limits: Same max-contract limit as the Combine for this tier (5 full-size / 50 micro), tied to a balance-based Scaling Plan whose exact contract-per-balance-band breakdown Topstep presents only as a visual chart (not extracted as text here — unknown exact intermediate steps). Maximum 5 active XFAs open simultaneously.
Other funded rules: Per-tier payout caps for the 50K account: Standard path — up to 50% of account balance, capped at $2,000; Consistency path — up to 50% of balance, capped at $3,000. After each payout, the winning-day counter (Standard) or the 3-day/consistency calculation (Consistency) restarts from zero. Same 3:10 PM CT day-trading close rule as the Combine applies. Back2Funded: an XFA closed before its first payout can be reactivated up to 2 times within 7 days of closure for a $599 reactivation fee (50K tier).

100KStandard pricing path: $99/month + $149 one-time Activation Fee on passing. No-Activation-Fee path: $149/month base, or $129/month with the Daily Loss Limit add-on ($20/month discount); $0 activation fee.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $6,000
Max drawdown: $3,000
Drawdown type: Same End-of-Day Trailing Max Loss Limit mechanic described for the 50K tier (trails up with EOD highs, never down, locks permanently at breakeven; monitored intraday in real time on realized+unrealized P&L).
Daily loss limit: Optional add-on. Amount: $2,000 for the 100K tier. Same 5:00 PM CT reset and non-violation flatten/pause behavior as described for the 50K tier.
Consistency rule: Identical rule to the 50K tier: best single day ≤50% of total profit toward the Profit Target, locked at 3:10 PM CT daily; breach raises the target rather than failing the account.
Minimum trading days: Same as 50K tier: no separately stated formal minimum; practical floor of ~2 days from the consistency math itself.
Max contracts: 10 full-size contracts (100 micro contracts, 10:1 ratio).
Other pass rules: Same day-trading (3:10 PM CT flat) and monthly-rebilling-subscription structure as the 50K tier.

Funded phase

Account type: Express Funded Account (XFA) — simulated funded account, same structure as the 50K tier.
Activation / monthly fee: $149 one-time Activation Fee (Standard path) or $0 (No-Activation-Fee path). No separate recurring XFA monthly fee identified.
Drawdown: $3,000 Max Loss Limit.
Drawdown type: Same End-of-Day Trailing MLL mechanic; resets to $0 cushion above the floor after each payout, same as 50K.
Daily loss limit: Optional, $2,000 for this tier, same reset/behavior rules.
Consistency / payout rule: Same two-path structure as 50K tier: Standard = 5 winning days of $150+; Consistency = 3 trading days, largest single day ≤40% of total net profit.
Payout schedule: Same schedule as 50K tier: Sunday 5:00 PM CT – Friday 5:00 PM CT, no stated frequency cap, $125 minimum payout.
Profit split: 90/10, same legacy 100%-of-first-$10,000 exception for pre-2026-01-12 dashboard accounts.
Scaling / contract limits: 10 full-size / 100 micro contract limit, same balance-based Scaling Plan caveat as 50K. Max 5 active XFAs simultaneously.
Other funded rules: Per-tier payout caps for the 100K account: Standard path capped at $3,000; Consistency path capped at $4,000 (both up to 50% of balance). Same payout-cycle reset and 3:10 PM CT rules as 50K. Back2Funded reactivation fee: $699 for this tier.

150KStandard pricing path: $199/month + $149 one-time Activation Fee on passing. No-Activation-Fee path: $229/month base, or $199/month with the Daily Loss Limit add-on ($30/month discount); $0 activation fee.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $9,000
Max drawdown: $4,500
Drawdown type: Same End-of-Day Trailing Max Loss Limit mechanic as the other tiers.
Daily loss limit: Optional add-on. Amount: $3,000 for the 150K tier. Same 5:00 PM CT reset and non-violation flatten/pause behavior.
Consistency rule: Identical rule to other tiers: best single day ≤50% of total profit, locked at 3:10 PM CT daily.
Minimum trading days: Same as other tiers: no separately stated formal minimum; practical ~2-day floor from the consistency math.
Max contracts: 15 full-size contracts (150 micro contracts, 10:1 ratio).
Other pass rules: Same day-trading (3:10 PM CT flat) and monthly-rebilling-subscription structure as other tiers.

Funded phase

Account type: Express Funded Account (XFA) — simulated funded account, same structure as other tiers.
Activation / monthly fee: $149 one-time Activation Fee (Standard path) or $0 (No-Activation-Fee path).
Drawdown: $4,500 Max Loss Limit.
Drawdown type: Same End-of-Day Trailing MLL mechanic; resets to $0 cushion above the floor after each payout.
Daily loss limit: Optional, $3,000 for this tier, same reset/behavior rules.
Consistency / payout rule: Same two-path structure: Standard = 5 winning days of $150+; Consistency = 3 trading days, largest single day ≤40% of total net profit.
Payout schedule: Same schedule as other tiers: Sunday 5:00 PM CT – Friday 5:00 PM CT, no stated frequency cap, $125 minimum payout.
Profit split: 90/10, same legacy 100%-of-first-$10,000 exception for pre-2026-01-12 dashboard accounts.
Scaling / contract limits: 15 full-size / 150 micro contract limit, same balance-based Scaling Plan caveat. Max 5 active XFAs simultaneously.
Other funded rules: Per-tier payout caps for the 150K account: Standard path capped at $5,000; Consistency path capped at $6,000 (both up to 50% of balance). Same payout-cycle reset and 3:10 PM CT rules as other tiers. Back2Funded reactivation fee: $829 for this tier.

Platforms: TopstepX (Topstep's own proprietary platform) is the primary/current platform. Per third-party reporting corroborated across multiple review sites (medium confidence on exact cutover dates), new Trading Combine purchases became TopstepX-only starting 2026-07-07, and account resets became TopstepX-only starting 2026-08-01; legacy NinjaTrader, Tradovate and the earlier ProjectX platform have been phased out as of this research date (2026-09-05). Verify current platform support directly on topstep.com before relying on multi-platform availability.

Universal conduct rules: Day-trading structure at every stage: no overnight or weekend holding anywhere in the program — all positions must be closed by 3:10 PM CT each trading day; trading resumes at 5:00 PM CT. News trading is explicitly permitted (no blackout windows around economic releases), but deliberately trading at full Maximum Position Size directly into a scheduled major news event is classified as a prohibited strategy. Prohibited conduct (per Topstep's official 'Prohibited Trading Strategies' article): using software/AI/ultra-high-speed systems or mass data entry to gain an unfair advantage; executing trades inconsistent with real futures market behavior or that create financial/other risk for Topstep; placing orders outside the current best bid/offer; 'account stacking' (repeatedly hitting the Max Loss Limit on one account then switching to another and repeating); intentionally draining a Live Funded Account to trigger failure; and systematic/exploitative scalping of simulator fills (hundreds or thousands of sub-second trades designed to exploit unrealistic fills, gapped-market fills, or tight-bracket fills) — occasional lucky fills are not penalized, but intentional, systematic patterns are. Trade copiers are allowed only for a trader's own execution convenience across their own accounts; mirrored/hedging/risk-stacking behavior across accounts and copying other traders' signals are both prohibited. Automated/algorithmic trading is allowed at the Combine and XFA stages, but automated trading via the ProjectX API is prohibited on Live Funded Accounts, and trade copiers cannot be used on Live Funded Accounts at all. Max simultaneous accounts: unlimited active Trading Combines; up to 5 active Express Funded Accounts; 1 Live Funded Account at a time. Progression beyond the XFA: Topstep does not automatically convert an XFA to real capital — its Risk Team evaluates demonstrated consistent profitability in the simulated XFA over time and may 'call up' a trader to a real-money Live Funded Account (LFA), which can scale to a starting balance up to $150,000 of Topstep's own capital, has no payout caps, and uses a reserve-release structure (roughly 20% of starting capital tradable immediately, 80% held in reserve and released in 25% increments as profit thresholds matching the original Combine profit targets are hit since the last release). The LFA's own Daily Loss Limit is mandatory (not optional) at $2,000/$3,000/$4,500 for 50K/100K/150K, tightens automatically as balance falls (to $2,000 DLL / 5-contract max at ≤$10K balance, $1,000 DLL / 3-contract max at ≤$5K balance), and the account can be liquidated at end of day if balance drops below $1,000. Exact LFA graduation criteria (specific profitability thresholds/timeframes the Risk Team applies) are not published as a fixed numeric rule on topstep.com and are described only qualitatively — flagged as unknown/discretionary rather than a hard rule.

News & overnight: Overnight/weekend holding: prohibited at every stage (Combine, XFA, LFA) — day-trading only, flat by 3:10 PM CT, resume 5:00 PM CT. News trading: permitted with no formal blackout window, but trading at full Maximum Position Size directly into a scheduled major news release is a named prohibited strategy that can trigger a behavioral review rather than an automatic rule violation.

02 Apex Trader Funding

apextraderfunding.com

Adversarially verified 7 load-bearing claims · 1 correction applied below.

25K (Apex 4.0, new/current system)One-time, no recurring billing. Intraday-Trail eval: $167.00 list / $16.70 with SAVENOW coupon (1-pack); $749.50 list / $74.95 ($14.99 each) 5-pack. EOD-Trail eval: $450.00 list / $45.00 with coupon (1-pack); $1,950.00 list / $195.00 ($39.00 each) 5-pack. A higher-priced 'No Activation Fee' variant also exists for this size (reduces the later PA activation fee to $0) but I did not capture its exact price point for 25K specifically -- unknown.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,500
Max drawdown: $1,000 (same figure on both drawdown tracks)
Drawdown type: Trader's choice at purchase of (a) Intraday Trailing Drawdown -- trails the account's real-time peak balance (realized+unrealized), tick by tick, only moving up; or (b) End-of-Day (EOD) Trailing Drawdown -- recalculated once daily at 4:59:59 PM ET off the closing balance, then enforced fixed through the next session, only moving up day-over-day. See universal_rules for the platform-specific freeze/lock behavior.
Daily loss limit: None on the Intraday-Trail track. $500 fixed (does not grow) on the EOD-Trail track.
Consistency rule: None
Minimum trading days: 1 (Apex markets 'ONE DAY TO PASS')
Max contracts: 4 mini / 40 micro
Other pass rules: 30-day access window from purchase; the eval expires unused after 30 days with no reset and no reset fee on this new product line (contrast: Legacy evals below DO allow resets). Passing is stamped only at market close (4:59:59 PM ET) on the day the profit target was reached, not the instant it was touched -- this timestamp starts the 7-day PA-activation clock. The resulting PA must be the identical size AND identical drawdown-track as this eval (a passed 25K EOD eval can only activate a 25K EOD PA).

Funded phase

Account type: Simulated ('Sim') funded Performance Account -- trades a demo balance, not real broker capital.
Activation / monthly fee: One-time PA Activation Fee due within 7 calendar days of the eval being marked Passed; missing the deadline forfeits the opportunity (a new eval must be passed). The dollar amount for the Standard track is NOT published on Apex's current rules pages -- I searched the official 'PA Activation Process & Deadline Explained' article directly for '$99' and '$79' and found neither string. Third-party trackers (medium confidence, unverified, possibly stale/legacy pricing) cite $99 for EOD-track and $79 for Intraday-track, same across all four new-system sizes. The 'No Activation Fee' eval variant sets this fee to $0 (confirmed officially). No ongoing/monthly fee once activated.
Drawdown: $1,000, carried over unchanged from the passed eval
Drawdown type: Same track as the eval (Intraday or EOD Trailing). Threshold stops rising and locks at Starting Balance + $100 once the account's highest balance reaches Starting Balance + Max Drawdown + $100 (i.e., $25,100 highest balance locks the floor at $25,100... consistent with Apex's official 50K worked example scaled down; not independently recomputed by me for this exact tier beyond the stated formula).
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-track PA. On EOD-track PA, DLL scales with all-time profit per the tier table in scaling_or_contract_limits.
Consistency / payout rule: 50% rule at payout only: no single trading day's net profit may equal/exceed 50% of total net profit since the last approved payout (or since inception). Resets after each approved payout.
Payout schedule: Eligible to request after 5 qualifying trading days (non-consecutive allowed) each showing at least $100 net profit (same $100 minimum on both EOD and Intraday tracks for this size). Minimum payout $500/request. Minimum account balance to request = $26,600 (Starting Balance + Safety Net [$1,000 drawdown + $100] + $500). Max 6 lifetime payouts per PA, all six capped at $1,000 each for this size, after which the PA closes.
Profit split: 100%, no split, on approved PA payouts.
Scaling / contract limits: $0-$999 profit: 1 contract, $500 DLL (Level 1). $1,000-$1,999: 2 contracts, $500 DLL (Level 2). $2,000+: 2 contracts, $1,250 DLL (Level 3, max tier). Table is the same for both drawdown tracks; only the DLL column is operative for EOD-track (Intraday-track has no DLL). Whether the 10:1 mini:micro contract ratio quoted for the eval still applies at each PA tier is unknown -- not stated on the pages I read.
Other funded rules: Counts toward the firm-wide 20-PA cap. If disqualified/closed/inactive, permanently closed (market data revoked); no resets on new-system PAs.

50K (Apex 4.0, new/current system)One-time. Intraday-Trail eval: $249.00 list / $24.90 with coupon (1-pack); $950.00 list / $95.00 ($19.00 each) 5-pack. EOD-Trail eval: $550.00 list / $55.00 with coupon (1-pack); $2,450.00 list / $245.00 ($49.00 each) 5-pack. 'No Activation Fee' variant also exists for this size; exact price not captured -- unknown.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000 (both tracks)
Drawdown type: Same mechanism as the 25K tier (trader's choice of Intraday or EOD Trailing; platform-specific freeze behavior per universal_rules). Official worked example uses this exact tier: on Rithmic/Wealthcharts the threshold locks at $53,000 once the highest balance reaches $55,000 (Profit-Target Balance $55,000... i.e. Target Profit Balance + Max Drawdown); on Tradovate it trails indefinitely with no freeze.
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-Trail. $1,000 fixed on EOD-Trail.
Consistency rule: None
Minimum trading days: 1
Max contracts: 6 mini / 60 micro
Other pass rules: Same 30-day/no-reset/Passed-at-close/matched-PA rules as the 25K tier.

Funded phase

Account type: Simulated funded Performance Account (see 25K tier note on the separate invitation-only Live program).
Activation / monthly fee: Same unresolved-on-site situation as 25K: official page does not publish a dollar figure; third-party (medium confidence) cites $99 EOD / $79 Intraday. 'No Activation Fee' eval variant = $0.
Drawdown: $2,000, carried over from the eval
Drawdown type: Same track as the eval. Official worked example: locks at Starting Balance + $100 = $50,100 once highest balance reaches Starting Balance + Max Drawdown + $100 = $52,100.
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-track PA; scales with profit on EOD-track PA per the table below.
Consistency / payout rule: Same 50% rule as all tiers (see 25K).
Payout schedule: 5 qualifying days needed, EOD-track minimum daily profit $250 / Intraday-track minimum daily profit $200 (tracks differ at this size). Min payout $500. Min balance to request = $52,600. Max 6 lifetime payouts; EOD-track cap table by payout #: $1,500 / $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $2,500 / $3,000. Intraday-track cap table: $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,000.
Profit split: 100%, no split.
Scaling / contract limits: $0-$1,499 profit: 2 contracts, $1,000 DLL (Level 1). $1,500-$2,999: 3 contracts, $1,000 DLL (Level 2). $3,000-$5,999: 4 contracts, $2,000 DLL (Level 3). $6,000+ (one official page instead prints this boundary as '$5,999 & Up' -- a one-dollar inconsistency between Apex's own two articles, noted not resolved): 4 contracts, $3,000 DLL (Level 4, max tier). Same table for both tracks; mini/micro ratio at PA scale is unknown.
Other funded rules: Same 20-PA cap and no-resets-on-new-system-PA rules as 25K.

100K (Apex 4.0, new/current system)One-time. Intraday-Trail eval: $399.00 list / $39.90 with coupon (1-pack); $1,750.00 list / $175.00 ($35.00 each) 5-pack. EOD-Trail eval: $990.00 list / $99.00 with coupon (1-pack); $4,450.00 list / $445.00 ($89.00 each) 5-pack. 'No Activation Fee' EOD variant (single-pack only, no 5-pack offered at this size): $1,590.00 list / $159.00 with coupon -- this is the one size/track where I directly captured both Standard and No-Activation-Fee pricing side by side.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $6,000
Max drawdown: $3,000 (both tracks)
Drawdown type: Same mechanism as smaller tiers.
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-Trail. $1,500 fixed on EOD-Trail.
Consistency rule: None
Minimum trading days: 1
Max contracts: 8 mini / 80 micro
Other pass rules: Same 30-day/no-reset/Passed-at-close/matched-PA rules.

Funded phase

Account type: Simulated funded Performance Account.
Activation / monthly fee: Not published as a dollar figure on the official activation-process page for the Standard track (verified absent on-page); third-party (medium confidence) cites $99 EOD / $79 Intraday. Confirmed officially: choosing the No-Activation-Fee eval ($1,590/$159 above) makes PA activation $0.
Drawdown: $3,000, carried over
Drawdown type: Locks at Starting Balance + $100 = $100,100 once highest balance reaches Starting Balance + Max Drawdown + $100 = $103,100 (following the same official formula demonstrated for 50K).
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-track PA; scales with profit on EOD-track PA per table below.
Consistency / payout rule: Same 50% rule.
Payout schedule: 5 qualifying days, EOD-track min daily profit $300 / Intraday-track min daily profit $250. Min payout $500. Min balance to request = $103,600. Max 6 payouts; EOD-track cap table: $2,000 / $2,500 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $4,000. Intraday-track cap table: $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $4,000.
Profit split: 100%, no split.
Scaling / contract limits: $0-$1,999: 3 contracts, $1,750 DLL (Level 1). $2,000-$2,999: 4 contracts, $1,750 DLL (Level 2). $3,000-$4,999: 5 contracts, $1,750 DLL (Level 3). $5,000-$9,999: 6 contracts, $2,500 DLL (Level 4). $10,000+: 6 contracts, $3,500 DLL (Level 5, max tier). Same table both tracks.
Other funded rules: Same 20-PA cap and no-reset rules.

150K (Apex 4.0, new/current system)One-time. Intraday-Trail eval: $599.00 list / $59.90 with coupon (1-pack); $2,450.00 list / $245.00 ($49.00 each) 5-pack. EOD-Trail eval: $1,890.00 list / $189.00 with coupon (1-pack); $8,950.00 list / $895.00 ($179.00 each) 5-pack. 'No Activation Fee' variant exists; exact price not captured for this size -- unknown. This is the largest size currently sold new (Apex 4.0 removed the old 250K/300K new-purchase tiers; those sizes now exist only under the Legacy re-release, see separate entries below).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $9,000
Max drawdown: $4,000 (both tracks)
Drawdown type: Same mechanism as smaller tiers.
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-Trail. $2,000 fixed on EOD-Trail.
Consistency rule: None
Minimum trading days: 1
Max contracts: 12 mini / 120 micro
Other pass rules: Same 30-day/no-reset/Passed-at-close/matched-PA rules.

Funded phase

Account type: Simulated funded Performance Account.
Activation / monthly fee: Not published as a dollar figure on the official page for the Standard track; third-party (medium confidence) cites $99 EOD / $79 Intraday. No-Activation-Fee variant = $0 (officially confirmed to exist for this size, price unknown).
Drawdown: $4,000, carried over
Drawdown type: Locks at Starting Balance + $100 = $150,100 once highest balance reaches $154,100 (Starting Balance + Max Drawdown + $100), per the same official formula.
Daily loss limit: None on Intraday-track PA; scales per table below on EOD-track PA.
Consistency / payout rule: Same 50% rule.
Payout schedule: 5 qualifying days, EOD-track min daily profit $350 / Intraday-track min daily profit $300. Min payout $500. Min balance to request = $154,600. Max 6 payouts; EOD-track cap table: $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000. Intraday-track cap table: $2,500 / $3,000 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $4,000 / $5,000.
Profit split: 100%, no split.
Scaling / contract limits: $0-$1,999: 4 contracts, $2,500 DLL (Level 1). $2,000-$2,999: 5 contracts, $2,500 DLL (Level 2). $3,000-$4,999: 7 contracts, $2,500 DLL (Level 3). $5,000-$9,999: 10 contracts, $3,000 DLL (Level 4). $10,000+: 10 contracts, $4,000 DLL (Level 5, max tier). Same table both tracks.
Other funded rules: Same 20-PA cap and no-reset rules.

Legacy 25K (limited-time re-release, currently on sale at apextraderfunding.com/legacy-products -- a DIFFERENT, older ruleset from the Apex 4.0 tiers above; site itself contains a contradiction I did not resolve: a Legacy-Products-Overview FAQ page states Legacy evals have NOT been purchasable since March 1, 2026, while the live /legacy-products page actively sells this exact tier today as a 'limited-time' promotion)$167.00/month list / $16.70/month with SAVENOW coupon -- RECURRING monthly subscription (not one-time), identical price on all 3 platforms (Tradovate, Wealthcharts, Rithmic).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,500
Max drawdown: Trailing Threshold shown as $1,500 (Legacy pricing cards show one 'Trailing Threshold' figure rather than a separate labeled Max-Drawdown line)
Drawdown type: Legacy trailing drawdown -- its exact mechanics (real-time vs EOD, lock behavior) live on separate 'Legacy Trailing Drawdown' help pages I did not open this session -- unknown/not independently verified.
Daily loss limit: 'None' (shown directly on the pricing card as 'Daily Drawdown: None')
Consistency rule: Unknown for the eval phase this session -- a search result surfaced a distinct 'Legacy 30% Consistency Rule (Windfall)' article title, suggesting Legacy DOES carry some consistency mechanic unlike the new system, but I did not open and verify it.
Minimum trading days: unknown -- not verified this session
Max contracts: 4 mini / 40 micro
Other pass rules: Card also lists 'Scaling: None.' Legacy evals ARE reset-eligible (unlike new-system evals) per the Legacy Products Overview FAQ. Billed as an ongoing subscription until the trader cancels it (legacy accounts on this recurring billing continue even if the promo period ends, per the FAQ). Includes Tradovate license + NinjaTrader platform ($75 value) + real-time data ($55 value) bundled in, on the Tradovate variant specifically.

Funded phase

Account type: Simulated funded Performance Account (Legacy program) -- not verified whether Legacy PAs differ from new PAs in kind beyond rules; presumed sim-funded like the new system.
Activation / monthly fee: $125.00 one-time PA fee -- this figure IS explicitly published on the official Legacy pricing card (unlike the new-system fee, which is not published).
Drawdown: unknown -- full Legacy PA ruleset lives on a separate 'Legacy Performance Accounts' help page not opened this session
Drawdown type: unknown -- not verified this session
Daily loss limit: unknown -- not verified this session
Consistency / payout rule: unknown -- not verified this session (see the 'Legacy 30% Consistency Rule' note above)
Payout schedule: unknown -- a separate 'Legacy PA Payout Parameters' page exists (surfaced in search) but was not opened this session; third-party summaries (medium confidence, not independently verified) describe a Legacy Safety Net that only applies for a trader's first three payouts, unlike the lifetime Safety Net on the new system -- flagged as unconfirmed.
Profit split: unknown for Legacy specifically -- not verified this session (do not assume it matches the new system's 100%; third-party sources describe legacy accounts as historically using a 90/10-after-$25K structure, but this is unconfirmed for the current Legacy re-release)
Scaling / contract limits: unknown -- not verified this session
Other funded rules: Counts toward the same firm-wide 20-PA cap as new-system PAs, per the Legacy Products Overview FAQ. I capped this research pass at two Legacy-specific fetches per my own review process, so this tier's funded/PA-side detail is materially thinner than the new-system tiers above -- treat as incomplete, not as 'no rules apply.'

Platforms: New (Apex 4.0) evaluations/PAs: choice of Tradovate, Rithmic, or Wealthcharts at signup (all three are TradingView-compatible per the site). Legacy (limited-time re-release) plans also list all three platforms, each bundling a free NinjaTrader license ($75 value, Tradovate/Rithmic plans) and free real-time data ($55 value). No platform-fee difference was found on the new-system pricing calculator; Legacy plans are priced identically across all three platforms for a given size.

Universal conduct rules: MAX ACCOUNTS: up to 20 active Performance Accounts (PAs) per household at once, combined across new EOD, new Intraday, and Legacy PA types. No stated cap on the number of evaluations a trader may purchase or run in parallel (third-party trackers describe this as "no limit," not independently confirmed on an official page -- medium confidence). PROHIBITED CONDUCT (from the official "Prohibited Activities" page, verbatim scope noted): (1) Account/credential sharing and "trade copying with other traders" -- sharing logins, MAC addresses, computers, IPs, or credit cards, or copying trades with OTHER traders, is banned; the page does not address copying trades across a trader's own multiple accounts. (2) No High-Frequency Trading (HFT) or other "manipulation or exploitation of the simulation environment," including trying to force erroneous fills or breach max-contract limits. (3) No hedging of any kind -- holding simultaneous long and short positions on the same or a correlated instrument is strictly prohibited (directional trading only). (4) No automation/algorithm usage -- rewards are stated to be for human discretionary trading only. (5) No trading without a defined stop loss (pending or mental) and risk-management plan; no "high-risk" setups with disproportionate risk:reward (their example: a 5-tick profit target against a 150-tick stop); no using the account's drawdown threshold itself as a stop-loss to absorb large losses. (6) No "stockpiling" cheap evaluations to deliberately blow them up chasing a windfall, and no non-directional bracket orders left open on both sides hoping for a lucky fill. (7) No multiple user accounts / household circumvention of an account already under a restriction or probation. (8) No VPNs/proxies/anonymizing tools used to evade rules, hide violations, or disguise identity/location. Violations funnel first into "Trader Probation" per the same page; several items (sharing, multi-accounting, hedging) are stated as immediate account/fund forfeiture. CONSISTENCY: none during the new-system evaluation phase (Apex markets "NO Eval consistency rules"); a 50% rule applies only at PA payout time (see per-tier funded.consistency_rule). PROFIT SPLIT: 100%, no split, on sim-funded PA payouts; the commonly-quoted 90/10 split applies only to the separate, invitation-only real-money "Apex Live" program (not purchasable; a trader is selected into it and simultaneously loses all sim Eval/PA access). PLATFORM-SPECIFIC DRAWDOWN LOCK BEHAVIOR (applies to both new-system tracks, eval and PA): on Rithmic and Wealthcharts, the trailing threshold freezes once the account's highest balance reaches (Target-Profit Balance + Max Drawdown) in eval, or (Starting Balance + Max Drawdown + $100) in a PA; on Tradovate evaluations the threshold has no freeze point and trails indefinitely with the peak balance. This is an unusual, platform-dependent mechanic worth flagging for platform choice.

News & overnight: OVERNIGHT HOLDING: Not allowed on any account, eval or funded. All positions must be flat before each instrument's listed close (5:00 PM ET for equity-index, currency, energy, and micro futures and crypto; 2:05-2:20 PM ET for agricultural futures per the site's own table) and trading resumes at 6:00 PM ET; a "trading day" is defined as 6:00 PM ET to 4:59 PM ET the next session. The official Prohibited Activities page lists "Holding open trade positions through the market close" as a forfeiture-triggering violation (account and all balances forfeited), not merely a soft rule -- this is a hard day-trading-only firm, no swing/overnight positions of any kind on any product. NEWS TRADING: explicitly ALLOWED as part of a normal strategy, including through high-impact news events. What is banned is using news as an excuse to "chase the market" or gamble the outcome (e.g., placing orders on both sides of the market hoping one side gets lucky) -- language that overlaps with, but is distinct from, the separate blanket "No Hedging" rule (see universal_rules).

Corrections from our verification pass

Checked claim: universal_rules.PROFIT SPLIT states: '100%, no split, on sim-funded PA payouts; the commonly-quoted 90/10 split applies only to the separate, invitation-only real-money "Apex Live" program (not purchasable; a trader is selected into it and simultaneously loses all sim Eval/PA access).'
Correction: Incomplete/incorrect as a blanket statement. The 100%-no-split rule is confirmed but applies only to the new-system (EOD Trail / Intraday Trail, Apex 4.0) PAs launched after March 1, 2026 — the homepage itself footnotes '100% Requested Rewards – No split in Sim Funded' with '** Applicable to new products only,' and the Intraday PA Payouts page states 'Approved payouts are issued at a 100% payout split.' However, Legacy PAs (which the ruleset's own platform field says are 'back' for purchase via a 'limited-time re-release' and which the ruleset counts toward the 20-PA household cap) run a DIFFERENT, still sim-funded split: the official 'Legacy PA Payout Parameters' page states verbatim, 'Traders are entitled to 100% of the first $25,000 per account they are paid out, and 90% of the profit after that.' So a 90/10-style split does exist inside the purchasable sim-funded PA program (on Legacy accounts specifically) — it is not confined to the separate, non-purchasable, invitation-only Apex Live program as the ruleset asserts. The ruleset should scope the 100%-no-split claim to new-system PAs only and note the Legacy-PA 90/10-after-$25K split as a second, distinct exception.

Rapid $25,000One-time purchase, no renewals. Official page (myfundedfutures.com/plans/rapid) shows 'Starting at $105' for this size with no strikethrough regular price displayed; $0 activation fee. Promotional pricing changes frequently (site currently runs a 'CLUB' 50%-off style code), so treat $105 as the promo-era list price on the date checked, not a fixed number.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,500
Max drawdown: $1,000
Drawdown type: End-of-Day (EOD) trailing — the loss floor is recalculated once per day off the prior closing balance, not intraday.
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: 50%, evaluation only — no single trading day's profit may exceed 50% of total evaluation profit (equivalent to needing at least 2 profitable days to hit target).
Minimum trading days: 2 days
Max contracts: 3 minis / 30 micros
Other pass rules: Tier-1 high-impact news trading (FOMC, NFP/Employment, CPI, EIA, USDA) is allowed during the evaluation stage. $0 activation fee to start.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded (simulated capital) first. Transitions to 'Rapid Live' — a real brokerage sub-account — either automatically after $10,000 net profit in a single trading session, or at Risk Management's discretion based on payout history.
Activation / monthly fee: $0 at sim-funded stage. No activation/monthly fee is stated on the official Rapid Live page for the live-transition stage.
Drawdown: Sim-funded: $1,000, intraday trailing off the high-water mark; permanently locks/stops trailing once equity reaches +$100 above the $25,000 starting balance. Rapid Live: $1,000, End-of-Day trailing, and the floor stops trailing (becomes static) once it reaches $0 — hitting it closes the Live account immediately.
Drawdown type: Sim-funded = intraday trailing; Live = EOD trailing that floors at $0
Daily loss limit: None stated for sim-funded on the official page. Not specified on the official 'Understanding Rapid Live' article for the Live stage either — some third-party aggregators claim a $1,000 DLL applies on Rapid Live, but this is NOT confirmed in MFFU's own text, so treat as unverified.
Consistency / payout rule: None at sim-funded or Live stage.
Payout schedule: Daily (every 24 hours), first payout eligible 24 hours after first trade. Minimum payout $500. Requires a $1,100 buffer (realized profit above the $25,000 start) before the first payout. Live-stage payouts are also daily.
Profit split: 90/10 (trader/firm) at both sim-funded and Live stages.
Scaling / contract limits: Sim-funded: 3 minis / 30 micros (same as eval). Rapid Live: reduced to 2 minis / 20 micros.
Other funded rules: Tier-1 news trading is NOT allowed once sim-funded or live. Up to $5,000 of sim-funded profit is swept into a 'Reserve Program' at Live transition, usable to cover a Live-account breach or paid out as a bonus. One live account per user (per third-party corroboration; not explicit on the official page checked).

Rapid $50,000One-time purchase. Official page shows $105 promo vs. $209 struck-through regular price (promo pricing fluctuates).

Payout schedule: Daily, $500 minimum, $2,100 buffer required before first payout. Live payouts also daily.
Profit split: 90/10 at both stages.

Rapid EOD $50,000 (newer alt-plan; 50K only as of check date)One-time purchase. Official plan page (myfundedfutures.com/plans/rapid-eod) shows $73 current promo vs. $145 struck-through regular price. A third-party launch article cites $157 as an earlier single-payment price — pricing has clearly moved since launch; treat $73/$145 (direct site fetch) as the more current figure.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: End-of-Day (EOD) trailing
Daily loss limit: None

Max contracts: 3 minis / 30 micros
Other pass rules: Tier-1 news trading allowed during evaluation. $0 activation fee. 365-day access window per one third-party source (unconfirmed on firm's own page).

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded, remaining on EOD drawdown even once funded (this is the key differentiator vs. standard Rapid, which switches to intraday trailing once funded).
Activation / monthly fee: $0
Drawdown: $2,000, End-of-Day trailing, locks at +$100 above the $50,000 start.
Drawdown type: EOD trailing (not intraday) throughout sim-funded stage
Daily loss limit: None

Payout schedule: Daily, $500 minimum, $2,100 buffer required, and net profit since the last payout must also be at least $500.
Profit split: 90/10
Scaling / contract limits: Sim-funded: 3 minis / 30 micros. Live-stage contracts reported at 4 minis / 40 micros in one source; not independently confirmed on an official Rapid-EOD-Live page.
Other funded rules: Tier-1 news trading not allowed once funded. Live-transition mechanics not documented on an official page found during this research — unknown whether it follows the same $10K-in-a-session Rapid Live path.

Pro $50,000One-time purchase. Official page (myfundedfutures.com/plans/pro) shows $133 promo vs. $265 struck-through regular price.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: End-of-Day (EOD) trailing
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: 50%, evaluation only
Minimum trading days: 2 days
Max contracts: 5 minis / 5 micros (verified verbatim on the official page — Pro uses a 1:1 mini:micro ratio, unlike Rapid/Builder's roughly 1:10 ratio)
Other pass rules: Tier-1 news trading allowed during evaluation. $0 activation fee. Firm's consistency-rule help article also references a 'Pro Plan One Day Pass' variant with no consistency rule — referenced but details not found during this research.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded, with review for transition to a live brokerage account at partner broker Blue Row Capital after 3 consecutive approved payouts.
Activation / monthly fee: $0 stated for sim-funded stage; no activation/monthly fee found documented for the Blue Row Capital live transition.
Drawdown: $2,000, End-of-Day trailing (sim-funded). Firm states EOD trailing 'only updates the line at the end of each trading day, based on your closing balance.'
Drawdown type: EOD trailing
Daily loss limit: None (sim-funded).
Consistency / payout rule: None on the sim-funded account.
Payout schedule: Every 14 calendar days from first trade. Minimum payout $1,000. Max payout per request/cycle: $100,000. Requires the $2,100 buffer, though up to 60% of profit can be withdrawn before the buffer is fully cleared.
Profit split: 80/20 (trader/firm) sim-funded.
Scaling / contract limits: 5 minis / 5 micros, sim-funded. Account must have at least one trade every 7 calendar days to stay active.
Other funded rules: Tier-1 news trading NOT allowed once sim-funded. Blue Row Capital live-stage reportedly offers daily payouts, 80/20 split, and an initial live funding range of about $2,000-$5,000 for this tier — sourced from third-party aggregation, not an official dedicated 'Pro Live' page (none found).

Pro $100,000One-time purchase. Official page does not display an explicit price for this size (labeled 'POPULAR' with no price shown at point of check). Third-party trackers report approximately $401 regular / $200.50 promo — NOT independently confirmed on myfundedfutures.com.

Platforms: Official current lineup (per plan pages, checked 2026-09-05): Tradovate (primary; Rithmic connectivity is available through the Tradovate connection, not offered as a standalone Rithmic option), NinjaTrader, TradingView (via Tradovate), and Quantower. Third-party sources (medium confidence) additionally list HyperProp and Fintevo as "coming soon," and mention legacy support for Volumetrica/DeepChart/DeepDom/ATAS that may no longer be selectable at new-account checkout.

Universal conduct rules: Account limits (official, help.myfundedfutures.com 'Traders Evaluation Simplified'): max 10 active Evaluation accounts at once. Max 5 active Sim-Funded accounts combining $25K/$50K sizes (the 50K legacy 'Flex' plan is capped at 3, with pre-March-24 accounts grandfathered to 5). If a trader holds ANY $100K or $150K Sim-Funded account, their total active Sim-Funded account cap across ALL sizes drops to 3. One live account per user (per third-party corroboration; not explicit on the specific official page fetched). // Prohibited conduct (official, 'Fair Play and Prohibited Trading Practices' article): high-frequency trading and exploiting simulated-environment fill quirks are banned; live-account automation must comply with CME guidelines. Simultaneously placing multiple limit orders at the same price to manipulate fills is prohibited. Trading gapped/illiquid markets to profit from isolated fills, or exploiting absent slippage with tight brackets, is banned. Hedging of any kind is prohibited — defined as simultaneous buy and sell positions on the same underlying, including related instruments (e.g., holding E-mini NQ long against Micro NQ short counts as hedging). Copy trading is banned: traders may not enter, exit, or cancel positions for one another, and shared-device use between traders leads to permanent restriction. Coordinating identical or opposite strategies across separate accounts (to game evaluations) is prohibited. Violations can result in account termination, profit confiscation, evaluation revocation, and denial of funding. // Trading hours (official, 'Permitted Times to Trade'): positions can be initiated from 6:00 PM ET (Globex session open) through the next 4:10 PM ET (New York close), and every account is automatically flattened at 4:10 PM ET on regular trading days — meaning the overnight/Globex session (evening through next morning) CAN be held through, but no account may carry a position through the daily 4:10 PM ET close itself; repeatedly forcing trades after 4:10 PM ET risks disqualification. On holiday-shortened sessions auto-liquidation does NOT trigger at the early close, so the trader must manually flatten before that close or risk a breach.

News & overnight: News trading policy (official, 'News Trading Policy' article): strategies built to exploit news bursts (e.g., straddles/strangles timed to a release, or news trades disguised as normal strategy) are banned. For Tier-1 data releases — FOMC meetings/minutes, Employment/NFP reports, CPI (plus EIA for energy and USDA reports for agricultural traders) — no open positions or working orders are allowed in the 2 minutes before through 2 minutes after the release (firm's example: news at 8:30 means flat by 8:28, no re-entry until 8:32). This T1 restriction applies to Rapid Sim-Funded and Pro Sim-Funded accounts; it is explicitly NOT applied during any evaluation stage or on Builder-plan accounts, where T1 news trading is allowed. // Overnight holding: per the 'Permitted Times to Trade' article, trading is permitted from 6:00 PM ET through 4:10 PM ET the next day, with automatic flattening of all positions at that daily 4:10 PM ET New York close on regular days (manual close required on holiday-shortened sessions, since no auto-liquidation fires at the early close). Net effect: positions CAN be carried overnight through the Globex/Asia/London session, but CANNOT be carried through the mandatory daily 4:10 PM ET flatten — so true multi-day swing holds across the NY-afternoon settlement are not permitted on the standard plans. Numerous third-party review sites flatly state 'overnight holding allowed' or 'not allowed' without this nuance; the firm's own article is the more precise and higher-confidence source and is what's reflected here.

Corrections from our verification pass

Checked claim: Sim-funded stage drawdown 'permanently locks/stops trailing once equity reaches +$100 above the $25,000 starting balance' (and the parallel '+$100 above the $50,000 start' claim for the 50K tier).
Correction: This understates the required profit by exactly the drawdown amount on every tier. MFFU's own articles describe the LOCK POINT OF THE TRAILING FLOOR itself as $100 above start, not equity/high-water-mark. Because the floor trails the high-water mark by the full drawdown ($1,000 on 25K, $2,000 on 50K) until it locks, equity actually has to climb to $1,100 above start on the 25K (i.e., account equity of $26,100) and $2,100 above start on the 50K ($52,100) before the floor reaches its $100 lock point -- not merely +$100 above start as the ruleset says. Tellingly, this corrected figure ($1,100 / $2,100) is identical to the first-payout buffer the ruleset itself already states elsewhere for these same tiers, which is strong internal corroboration that the lock point and the payout-eligibility buffer are the same threshold. (I directly re-confirmed this for the 25K and 50K tiers; I did not independently re-fetch the 100K/150K articles, but the same mechanic almost certainly applies there, requiring roughly +$3,100 / +$4,600 above start rather than +$100.)

takeprofittrader.com

Adversarially verified 6 load-bearing claims · no corrections needed.

$25,000Evaluation subscription approx. $150/month (billed monthly until pass/cancel/reset); activation fee to go PRO reported as $130 standard, frequently waived via promo codes (e.g. NOFEE40, 50AND3). Numbers are third-party corroborated across 3+ independent sources; not confirmed on the official pricing page directly (blocked WebFetch/JS-rendered table).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,500 (6% of account size) - third-party corroborated, consistent across multiple independent sources
Max drawdown: $1,500
Drawdown type: End-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown - CONFIRMED on official help-center article 'Rule 3: Do Not Hit End-Of-Day (EOD) Maximum Trailing Drawdown'. Trails the highest EOD balance upward using realized P&L only (calculated once per day at the close), locks permanently once it reaches the original starting balance.
Daily loss limit: None. TPT removed the daily loss limit firm-wide in January 2025; confirmed via official FAQ text ('no daily loss limits') and consistent third-party sourcing.
Consistency rule: No single trading day may equal or exceed 50% of total net profit accumulated so far. This does NOT fail the test outright - the trader can keep trading until the largest single day drops back under the 50% threshold as total profit grows. Confirmed on official help-center 'Rule 5: Be Consistent' and official FAQ.
Minimum trading days: 3 trading days minimum, effective for evaluations purchased on/after 2026-08-17 (official press release, PRNewswire; official TPT blog 'Take Profit Trader Changes Evals from 5 to 3 Days'). Prior/legacy requirement was 5 trading days; older evaluations/resets may still carry the 5-day rule.
Max contracts: 3 standard futures contracts; up to 30 micro contracts (10x on permitted micro products) - third-party corroborated (propvator.com and others), not verified on official site directly.
Other pass rules: No counter-positions (cannot hold opposing positions in the same/closely-related product across your own accounts) - CONFIRMED official 'Rule 6'. Trade only CME-approved products during approved hours (flat by 5pm ET, no overnight/weekend) - CONFIRMED official 'Rule 4'. Exceeding max contract size even momentarily is an automatic fail. Unlimited simultaneous Test accounts permitted. Test reset fee reported around $79-$100 (third-party, not officially confirmed).

Funded phase

Account type: PRO = simulated-funded (SIM) account, first funded tier reached automatically on passing the Test. PRO+ = live-market account, routed to the real exchange, reached only by discretionary invitation from TPT after sustained PRO profitability (third-party reports ~10 profitable trading days and/or ~$5k profit on PRO as informal benchmarks TPT uses to decide who gets an invite; TPT itself states there is no fixed published threshold and evaluation is holistic).
Activation / monthly fee: PRO: one-time activation fee, standard $130, frequently run at $0 during promotions (official FAQ: 'no PRO+ activation fees' during current promo; base fee historically $130 per third-party sourcing). No recurring monthly fee for PRO or PRO+ (confirmed on official FAQ). PRO+ traders reportedly pay ~$135/month extra only if they opt into non-CME exchange data (third-party, unconfirmed on official site).
Drawdown: $1,500 on PRO (equal to the Test drawdown amount for this tier, per official 'How to Keep Track of Your Drawdown' description that PRO buffer = the max drawdown amount). PRO+ reported to use the same or an EOD-based equivalent (third-party).
Drawdown type: PRO: intraday trailing drawdown - CONFIRMED official (calculated continuously through the day using peak balance including open/unrealized gains, not just end-of-day close; this is the single biggest behavioral change vs. the Test's EOD-only calculation and is reported as the most common cause of new-funded-account blowups in week one). PRO+: reverts to end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown (third-party corroborated, not text-confirmed on an official PRO+-specific rules page in this pass).
Daily loss limit: None on PRO or PRO+ (same firm-wide removal as of Jan 2025).
Consistency / payout rule: None on PRO or PRO+ - the 50% consistency rule is explicitly dropped once funded, per official FAQ and official 'PRO Account Rules' summaries. No separate payout-specific consistency requirement was found.
Payout schedule: Withdrawals available from day one, no minimum profitable-day count, no payout schedule/window, and (on PRO) no maximum withdrawal amount above the required buffer - confirmed via official FAQ. Minimum single payout request reported at $250 (a $50 fee applies to requests at or under that minimum; some third-party sources instead cite a $100 minimum for the PRO-to-wallet leg) - THIRD-PARTY, figures conflict slightly across sources, treat as approximate. Processing: PRO-to-wallet ~1 business day (instant via Plaid in many cases), wallet-to-bank ~1-3 business days via ACH/Wise/PayPal, same-day via wire (third-party).
Profit split: PRO: 80% to trader / 20% to firm (80/20) - CONFIRMED official. PRO+: 90% to trader / 10% to firm (90/10) - CONFIRMED official.
Scaling / contract limits: Max contract allotment is a static number per account size (same as the Test-phase cap for that tier - no profit-based scaling up or down is documented). Maximum of 5 active PRO/PRO+ accounts combined per trader - CONFIRMED official ('Rules for Multiple Accounts').
Other funded rules: PRO must place at least one trade every calendar week (Sun-Fri) to remain active - CONFIRMED official. A 'buffer zone' equal to the max drawdown amount above the starting balance must be maintained on PRO before withdrawals of profit at the stated split become unrestricted (official FAQ: 'Buffer equals drawdown amount; withdrawals above it use stated split'). PRO+ reportedly has no buffer-zone requirement, allowing profit to be taken same-day without restriction (official FAQ language: 'no buffer zone requirements' for PRO+).

Platforms: Tradovate, NinjaTrader 8, Rithmic (R-Trader), and SierraChart are all supported for connecting to a Take Profit Trader account. Test and PRO accounts trade in a simulated (SIM) environment (orders route to Rithmic/Tradovate/CQG infrastructure but do not reach the live exchange; TPT settles P&L internally). PRO+ is the only tier that routes live to the exchange. Data feed is CQG or Rithmic depending on account type; CME market data is included, other exchange data is a reported extra ~$135/month (third-party sourced, not verified on the official site).

Universal conduct rules: Confirmed on the firm's own site/help-center/press materials: (1) No overnight or weekend holding on any account type (Test, PRO, PRO+) — all positions and working orders must be flat by 5:00pm ET Mon-Fri; TPT auto-flattens anything still open at 4:55pm ET as a backstop. (2) Minimum evaluation trading days was cut from 5 to 3 effective 2026-08-17 (official press release via PRNewswire/Yahoo Finance and the firm's own blog post "Take Profit Trader Changes Evals from 5 to 3 Days"); this 3-day minimum applies only to evaluations purchased on/after 2026-08-17, older/reset evaluations may still carry the old 5-day requirement. (3) Daily loss limit was removed firm-wide as of January 2025 — no daily loss limit exists on Test or PRO/PRO+ today; only the trailing/EOD drawdown constrains losses. (4) Consistency rule (no single trading day may equal or exceed 50% of total net profit) applies ONLY during the Test/evaluation phase and does not fail the test outright — it just means the trader must keep trading until the best day is under 50% of the (growing) total profit; the rule is dropped entirely once funded (PRO/PRO+). (5) Maximum 5 active PRO/PRO+ accounts combined per trader (not 5 of each) — implies a practical cap of 5 x $150K = $750K of simultaneous funded buying power; unlimited Test/evaluation accounts may be run concurrently. (6) No counter-positions rule: a trader may not hold opposing positions in the same or closely-related futures products across accounts under their control. (7) No fully automated/bot/algorithmic execution of trades — the firm's Universal Trading Policies (UTP) state trades must be manually executed; third-party sources report nuance that personal, trader-owned automation via approved connections (TradersPost, PickMyTrade, NinjaTrader/Tradovate webhooks) is tolerated if not coordinated across multiple TPT accounts, and that pure latency/infrastructure-exploiting HFT and layered grid/martingale order strategies are the specific targets of enforcement — this nuance is THIRD-PARTY sourced (medium confidence), not confirmed verbatim on TPT's own UTP page text. (8) News-trading restriction: Test/evaluation accounts are currently allowed to trade through news; PRO and PRO+ funded accounts must be flat (no open positions, no working orders) 1 minute before, during, and 1 minute after designated high-impact events (FOMC statements Wed 2:00pm ET, NFP, CPI, Crude Oil Inventories); TPT reviews PRO accounts for news-window violations before approving payouts. (9) Approved products are CME Group futures/micros only (ES/MES, NQ/MNQ, RTY/M2K, YM/MYM, CL, NG, GC, SI, HG, ZC, ZS, ZW per third-party sourcing); Treasury products (ZB, ZN) are reportedly excluded — this specific product list is THIRD-PARTY sourced, not directly confirmed on the official site in this research pass. (10) Weekly activity requirement on PRO: at least one trade every calendar week (Sun-Fri) to keep the account active. (11) KYC and MFA are required to activate a funded account (from the firm's own FAQ/help-center listing).

News & overnight: No overnight or weekend position holds are permitted on any account type; all trading days run roughly 6:00pm ET to 5:00pm ET the next session, and everything must be flat by 5:00pm ET (auto-flatten backstop at 4:55pm ET). News trading is unrestricted during the Test/evaluation phase but blacked out on funded PRO/PRO+ accounts for a window (-1 min to +1 min) around FOMC, NFP, CPI, and similar high-impact releases; violating the funded-account news blackout can block payout approval.

Adversarially verified 6 load-bearing claims · 2 corrections applied below.

25KQuick Pay Intraday $45/mo (list $100), Quick Pay End of Day $54/mo (list $120), Fast Pass End of Day $59/mo (list $130). $99 reset fee to restart a failed evaluation. All are recurring monthly subscriptions, not one-time challenge fees.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,500 (6% of the $25,000 starting balance) — same figure on all three plan variants.
Max drawdown: $1,000 (4% of starting balance) — same figure on all three plan variants.
Drawdown type: Quick Pay Intraday = Intraday Trailing Drawdown (marks unrealized/floating P&L in real time). Quick Pay End of Day = End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown (recalculated only off end-of-day balance). Fast Pass End of Day = End-of-Day Trailing only (no intraday Fast Pass variant exists). All three trail upward with account growth until balance reaches the $25,000 starting balance, at which point the floor freezes permanently at $25,000 and stops trailing further.
Daily loss limit: None on any variant — TradeDay's own evaluation-objectives article lists only profit target, minimum days, consistency, and max drawdown; no separate daily loss limit exists.
Consistency rule: Quick Pay: 30% (no single day's profit may exceed 30% of total profit-to-date). Fast Pass: 45%. Breaching it does not fail the evaluation — the profit target effectively rises until the oversized day is diluted back under the threshold by further trading.
Minimum trading days: Quick Pay: 5 trading days minimum. Fast Pass: 3 trading days minimum.
Max contracts: 2 standard/mini futures contracts (per TradeDay's own evaluation-rules article, position limits 'are the same' for Quick Pay and Fast Pass). Micros allowed at a 10:1 ratio, capped at 50 micro contracts regardless of tier. Note: several third-party review sites describe Fast Pass starting lower (e.g. 1 contract) and scaling up with profit — this contradicts TradeDay's own article and could not be confirmed on the current site; treat that scaling claim as unverified/possibly outdated.
Other pass rules: Exit all positions at least 10 minutes before that product's close (no holding into settlement). Prohibited: >200 trades/day, third-party bots/ATS, spoofing/layering, splitting size across simultaneous same-price orders, exploiting gapped/illiquid fills or sim slippage, hedging long vs. short across a trader's own accounts, multiple sign-ups, VPN/VPS location masking. Only CME-listed futures/micros are tradable — no stocks, options, forex, crypto, or CFDs.

Funded phase

Account type: Funded Sim is the default/near-universal outcome of passing (simulated capital). Funded Live (real money, trading TradeDay's live master account) is rare and generally reached only after demonstrated Funded Sim performance, though TradeDay states it may occasionally award Funded Live directly. A trader who loses a Funded Live account is placed back into Funded Sim.
Activation / monthly fee: $0 activation fee and $0 monthly subscription while funded (billing pauses) for both Funded Sim and Funded Live. Funded Live additionally pays pass-through costs: CME professional market-data fee of $156/month per exchange, real trading commissions debited from the account, and a $2/month Tradovate card-processing fee. Funded Sim pays no data fee and simulated commissions only.
Drawdown: $1,000, unchanged from the evaluation tier.
Drawdown type: Per TradeDay's own funded-trader support article, funded accounts that originated from Quick Pay run on Intraday trailing drawdown regardless of which evaluation variant (Intraday or EOD) was actually used; accounts that originated from Fast Pass run on End-of-Day trailing drawdown. The floor trails up with growth and freezes permanently once balance reaches the $25,000 starting balance.
Daily loss limit: None. TradeDay states funded trading is governed by essentially two rules: don't breach the trailing max drawdown, and don't trade within 2% of an exchange price limit.
Consistency / payout rule: No distinct payout-consistency percentage found in TradeDay's own funded/payout articles (only the 30%/45% evaluation-phase rule is documented). Several third-party guides state no consistency rule applies once funded — plausible but unconfirmed on the official site; treat as medium-confidence/unknown.
Payout schedule: On-demand withdrawal requests (dashboard 'Request Withdrawal' button for Funded Sim; email fundedtrader@tradeday.com for Funded Live). Minimum payout $250. Requests submitted before 5:30pm are processed by the next business day (TradeDay's own help articles state this cutoff inconsistently as '5:30pm ET' in one place and '5:30pm CT' in another — the discrepancy could not be resolved from official text). Only one active request at a time; a new request overrides a pending one. Withdrawal fees: US bank wire free, international wire $15, Level-1 crypto $2.50 + gas, Level-2 crypto free.
Profit split: Funded Sim: 50/50 on net profit up to $4,000, then 80/20 (trader keeps 80%) on the portion above $4,000, calculated per account. Funded Live: 90/10 in the trader's favor. These figures come directly from TradeDay's own funded-rules and payout-policy articles. Some third-party sites instead describe a lifetime-withdrawal ladder (80% up to $50k, 90% $50k-$100k, 95% over $100k) that conflicts with the official figures above and could not be confirmed on tradeday.com — treat that ladder as unverified.
Scaling / contract limits: Contract limits carry over unchanged from the evaluation tier (2 minis for the 25K tier; micros at 10:1, capped at 50). TradeDay's 2026 'TradeDay 2.0' relaunch reportedly removed a formerly-existing scaling plan (per third-party coverage; not independently found restated on the official site — medium confidence).
Other funded rules: 'Buffer Zone' = starting balance plus the max-drawdown amount (e.g. $25,000 + $1,000 = $26,000 for this tier); the trailing floor only rises with growth up to the original starting balance, then freezes there for good. Funded traders may not hold within 2% of an exchange price limit (loses the funded account on violation; accidental brief breaches are tolerated, deliberate/repeated abuse is not). Account caps: up to 6 total accounts of any evaluation type at once, up to 3 active Funded Sim accounts (extra passed evaluations queue until a slot frees), up to 5 Funded Live accounts; all accounts must sit on one trading platform; one email/username per trader. 30 days to complete funded onboarding (Riseworks payment/KYC + rules course) after passing, or the offer is withdrawn.

50KQuick Pay Intraday $59/mo (list $131), Quick Pay End of Day $79/mo (list $175), Fast Pass End of Day $85/mo (list $189). $99 reset fee to restart a failed evaluation.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000 (6% of the $50,000 starting balance) — same across all three plan variants.
Max drawdown: $2,000 (4% of starting balance) — same across all three plan variants.
Drawdown type: Quick Pay Intraday = Intraday Trailing Drawdown; Quick Pay End of Day = End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown; Fast Pass End of Day = End-of-Day Trailing only. All trail until balance reaches the $50,000 starting balance, then the floor freezes at $50,000 permanently.
Daily loss limit: None on any variant.
Consistency rule: Quick Pay: 30% max single-day share of total profit. Fast Pass: 45%. Breach raises the effective target rather than failing the evaluation.
Minimum trading days: Quick Pay: 5 days minimum. Fast Pass: 3 days minimum.
Max contracts: 5 standard/mini futures contracts (same for Quick Pay and Fast Pass per TradeDay's own rules article); micros at 10:1, capped at 50. (See 25K entry for the caveat about third-party Fast-Pass-scaling claims.)
Other pass rules: Same conduct rules as all tiers: exit 10 minutes before close, no >200 trades/day, no third-party bots/ATS, no spoofing/layering/order-splitting, no hedging across own accounts, CME futures/micros only.

Funded phase

Account type: Funded Sim by default; Funded Live rare/by invitation, same policy as other tiers.
Activation / monthly fee: $0 activation, $0 monthly while funded. Funded Live pays $156/mo/exchange data fee + commissions + $2/mo Tradovate fee; Funded Sim pays neither data fee nor real commissions.
Drawdown: $2,000, unchanged from evaluation.
Drawdown type: Quick-Pay-origin funded accounts run Intraday trailing; Fast-Pass-origin funded accounts run End-of-Day trailing. Freezes at the $50,000 starting balance once reached.
Daily loss limit: None.
Consistency / payout rule: No official payout-consistency percentage found; third-party sources say none applies post-funding (medium confidence).
Payout schedule: On-demand, $250 minimum, processed next business day if requested before the 5:30pm cutoff (timezone stated inconsistently as ET/CT across TradeDay's own articles).
Profit split: Funded Sim: 50/50 up to $4,000 net profit, 80/20 above $4,000. Funded Live: 90/10. (See 25K entry for the conflicting third-party lifetime-ladder claim.)
Scaling / contract limits: 5 minis carried over from evaluation; micros at 10:1 capped at 50. No confirmed official scaling plan.
Other funded rules: Buffer Zone = $50,000 + $2,000 = $52,000; floor freezes at $50,000 once reached. Same 2%-price-limit rule and multi-account caps (6 total / 3 Funded Sim / 5 Funded Live) as all tiers.

100KQuick Pay Intraday $108/mo (list $240), Quick Pay End of Day $129/mo (list $285), Fast Pass End of Day $149/mo (list $330). $99 reset fee.

250K (unconfirmed on current official site)unknown — a third-party aggregator (PropFirmMatch) lists a 'TradeDay 250K Tier' 1-step challenge at $750 (or $600 discounted), but TradeDay's own current homepage and pricing table (fetched 2026-09-05) show only 25K/50K/100K/150K under the Quick Pay / Fast Pass structure. This 250K listing may be stale/pre-'TradeDay 2.0' data. Do not treat as confirmed.

Evaluation phase

Other pass rules: unknown / unconfirmed — see cost field note.

Funded phase

Other funded rules: unknown / unconfirmed — see cost field note.

Platforms: Tradovate and NinjaTrader are confirmed supported platforms (from TradeDay's own Help Center "Our Trading Platforms" folder). Funded Live traders specifically pay a $2/month Tradovate card-processing fee, confirming Tradovate as at least one live execution venue. Could not confirm from official pages whether a Rithmic-based platform (e.g. Quantower) or TradingView charting is also offered — treat as unknown beyond Tradovate/NinjaTrader.

Universal conduct rules: Prohibited practices (from TradeDay's own "Prohibited Trade Practices" article): using third-party trading bots/ATS; automated strategies producing more than 200 trades in a day (their HFT-scalping ban); spoofing/layering or any strategy meant to exploit or create platform errors; entering multiple orders at the same price simultaneously (size-splitting); initiating trades in gapped/illiquid markets to profit from stray fills; continuing to exploit the sim environment's lack of slippage; hedging (going long in one of a trader's own accounts while short in another); coordinated/group trading meant to manipulate; signing up with multiple usernames/emails; using a VPN/VPS to mask trading location. All profits from any of these are confiscated. Tradable products are CME-listed futures and micros only — stocks, options, forex, crypto, and CFDs are explicitly not permitted or available on the platform. Maximum accounts: up to 6 total accounts of any evaluation type simultaneously; up to 3 active Funded Sim accounts at once (additional passed evaluations queue until a slot opens); up to 5 Funded Live accounts; all of a trader's accounts must sit on a single trading platform (no splitting across brokers/platforms); once a trader is Funded Live they cannot purchase additional accounts until offboarded from that status. Reset fee to restart a failed evaluation: $99.

News & overnight: Overnight holding is permitted on both evaluation and funded accounts, but every open position must be closed at least 10 minutes before that specific product's next session close — positions can be rolled one session at a time but never held indefinitely. News/data-release trading is not banned outright: TradeDay auto-liquidates all open positions 2 minutes before its listed "Tier 1" economic data releases and reopens the market 2 minutes after the release, so a position simply cannot be held through the print itself. Funded traders additionally may not hold a position within 2% of an exchange-set price limit — deliberate or repeated breaches (not accidental ones) cost the funded account.

Corrections from our verification pass

Checked claim: $99 reset fee to restart a failed evaluation (stated as one flat figure covering all three 25K plan variants: Quick Pay Intraday, Quick Pay EOD, Fast Pass EOD).
Correction: TradeDay's own reset-fee schedule is NOT a flat $99 for the 25K tier. Per TradeDay's Help Center, the reset fee for a 25K account equals that plan's own monthly subscription price: $45 for Quick Pay Intraday, $54 for Quick Pay End of Day, and $59 for Fast Pass. (A ~$99 figure does show up for other tiers/variants, e.g. third-party trackers cite it for a 50K End-of-Day/Static reset, but not for any 25K variant.) The ruleset should replace the single $99 figure with the plan-matched $45 / $54 / $59 figures for the 25K tier.
Source: TradeDay Help Center, "Do you give free resets?": https://tradeday.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/103000008878-do-you-give-free-resets- (fetched directly 2026-09-05; table confirms $45/$54/$59 at 25K, scaling to $60/$85/$89 at 50K, $110/$135/$140 at 100K, $165/$195/$225 at 150K).

Checked claim: "Funded Sim: 50/50 on net profit up to $4,000, then 80/20 (trader keeps 80%) on the portion above $4,000, calculated per account" presented as the single Funded Sim profit-split rule.
Correction: That 50/50-then-80/20-at-$4,000 tiered structure is specific to Funded Sim accounts that originated from a Quick Pay evaluation (confirmed verbatim in TradeDay's own "Quick Pay Funded Sim Payout Policy" article: 50% below $4,000 profit, 80% above). Funded Sim accounts that originated from Fast Pass instead run a flat 80/20 split with no $4,000 tier at all, per TradeDay's own "Fast Pass Funded Sim Payout Policy" article ("There will be an 80/20 profit split"). The ruleset should split this line into Quick-Pay-originated Funded Sim (50/50 -> 80/20 at $4,000) versus Fast-Pass-originated Funded Sim (flat 80/20), rather than quoting one figure as THE Funded Sim rule.

Platforms: Tradovate, WealthCharts, and Rithmic (via Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, R|Trader). Level 2/EUREX data add-ons are Tradovate-only. Introducing broker of record: Tradeify Brokerage LLC d/b/a Slay Markets (NFA ID 0575972), guaranteed by NinjaTrader Clearing/Kraken Derivatives US/Tradovate.

Universal conduct rules: HEDGING: Prohibited on all account types (Evaluation, Sim-Funded, Live). Cannot hold opposing (long+short) positions in the same instrument or in two products from the same "Product Group" (e.g. ES and NQ are both "Equity Index" - shown as a hedge), whether in one account or spread across multiple of the trader's own accounts. Mini/micro versions of a product are the same Product Group. Long Equity Index + Long Volatility (FVS) is also treated as offsetting. Violation = all involved accounts set to violation status, forfeiture of profits from the violation period, possible permanent ban. || BOTS/ALGO TRADING: Allowed if trader proves sole ownership (may require a live video of enabling the code), no sharing/using the same bot across other prop firms, and it is NOT a high-frequency-trading (HFT) bot - HFT bots are explicitly prohibited and actively monitored/detected. || COPY TRADING: Explicitly PERMITTED via each platform's own tool (Tradovate Group Trading, WealthCharts Trade Copier, Tradesea copy trading), subject to each platform's setup rules. || MICROSCALPING RULE (funded accounts only, not evaluation): to request any payout, over 50% of trades AND over 50% of profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds; failing this blocks the payout request but does not fail the account. || MAX ACCOUNTS: Max 5 total Simulated/Sim-Funded accounts open at once, in any combination of Growth/Select/Lightning. Growth allows max 5 new funded activations per rolling 24h (UTC). Select allows max 15 evaluation purchases per rolling 30 days, each resettable up to 10x per 30 days (Select 300K is excluded from this cap, limited to 3/user, no resets). || MAX IDLE TIME: Must place at least 1 trade per week (Mon-Fri) per account or risk being marked inactive (trader is warned before any action is taken). || GOOD FAITH POLICY: Prohibited from exploiting platform glitches/price-display errors/technical delays. || RESTRICTED COUNTRIES: 58 countries fully banned by residency (not physical location), including Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Israel, Turkey, Ukraine, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Belarus, Venezuela, Sudan, Yemen, and others (full list on the firm's help center). Applies to country of legal residence, not where the trader is currently traveling. || LIVE PROGRAM (Tradeify Elite): High performers can be invited to a live, real-capital account after a qualifying number of approved sim payouts (homepage cites 3 approved payouts to qualify, with performance rewards described as "up to $18,000 per account"); Tradeify's own disclosed stats (Aug 2025-Jul 2026) show only 3.0% of funded participants get called up to Live. || DRAWDOWN MECHANIC (applies to every tier/type): End-of-Day trailing drawdown only RECALCULATES at each session close (never moves down, only up with new EOD highs) but is ENFORCED CONTINUOUSLY intraday against net liquidation value - touching the floor at any moment is an immediate, unrecoverable hard-breach fail even if the trader closes green that day. On funded/Sim-Funded accounts (not evaluations) the drawdown floor LOCKS permanently once EOD balance clears starting balance + drawdown + $100, or immediately upon the first payout request, whichever comes first.

News & overnight: OVERNIGHT HOLDING: Prohibited across ALL account types including Live. All positions must be closed by 4:45pm ET Mon-Fri (12:59pm ET on exchange-holiday shortened days), ahead of the 5-6pm ET daily maintenance break. No swing trading across sessions. Any position still open at the close is auto-liquidated by Tradeify; this does NOT fail the account, but the trader bears any slippage/unfavorable-fill risk. A "trading day" runs 6:00pm ET to 5:00pm ET the next session. || NEWS TRADING: Explicitly allowed with no restrictions or blackout windows at any account tier ("Tier 1 news trading" cited for Select). Trader bears full risk of slippage during news volatility; Tradeify explicitly warns never to rely on the Daily Loss Limit as a stop-loss since it is a soft/end-of-period check, not a real-time hard stop and can be exceeded by fast-moving news.

Adversarially verified 7 load-bearing claims · no corrections needed.

Trader Career Path — TCP25 ($25,000 evaluation / entry tier of the growth ladder)Starting at $150/month (subscription; billed monthly until the evaluation is passed, then no further fee is owed on the funded account itself). Promotional discounts (40-60%) are frequently advertised per third-party reviews (medium confidence on discount depth/frequency).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,750 (7% of the $25,000 virtual starting balance)
Max drawdown: $1,500
Drawdown type: End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown — the floor rises $1 for every $1 of new EOD equity high, until it caps at the starting balance
Daily loss limit: $550 — real-time, includes open/unrealized P&L, closed P&L, and commissions; breaching it intraday (even without closing the position) fails the evaluation instantly; resets 5:00pm CT
Consistency rule: "Maintain Consistency": no single trading day's profit may equal or exceed 30% of total cumulative profit at the point of passing (evaluation only — does not apply to funded accounts)
Minimum trading days: None required by rule; the 30% consistency rule practically requires roughly 4+ profitable days to reach the $1,750 target without any one day dominating
Max contracts: Up to 3 contracts (progression ladder)
Other pass rules: Trade only until 15:50 CT (no overnight); news trading permitted; up to 5 concurrent evaluation accounts per email; free trading platforms and free study materials included; free reset when the subscription rebills.

Funded phase

Account type: First step is a Funded LiveSim (simulated capital, real-time market data) or Funded Live (real capital) account at the same $25,000 size — Earn2Trade determines/offers the type after passing; company-wide 2025 stats show 94.77% of passers traded LiveSim vs 5.23% Live
Activation / monthly fee: No upfront activation fee and no recurring monthly/subscription fee once funded; a one-time $139 activation fee is deducted only from the trader's first successful withdrawal
Drawdown: $1,500 at this $25,000 step (see scaling field for the full ladder up to $200,000)
Drawdown type: EOD trailing on the LiveSim account; intraday Trailing drawdown on the Live account at this step
Daily loss limit: $550 at this step
Consistency / payout rule: None on funded (LiveSim/Live) accounts
Payout schedule: Weekly payouts, processed Wednesdays; withdrawal request must be submitted by 2:00pm CT the preceding Friday; minimum net withdrawal $100. Third-party sources (medium confidence) cite withdrawal fees of roughly $50 flat per Rise/Deel withdrawal (non-US), 1.5% for Rise US, and no fee stated above $500.
Profit split: 50% of profit up to $1,500; 80% of profit above $1,500 (threshold shown at the $25,000 step; scaling steps' exact split thresholds are not separately disclosed on the site's Growth Plan panel — see scaling field for the figures Earn2Trade does disclose per step)

Platforms: Rithmic, R Trader Pro (Finmark), NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, and BlackArrow — all listed as free trading platforms across both programs. Data/commission schedules vary by platform (Tradovate vs Rithmic) and are disclosed at account activation.

Universal conduct rules: OVERNIGHT: Not allowed on either program at any phase (eval, LiveSim, or Live) — all positions must be flat by 15:50 CT daily; no overnight or weekend holding. NEWS TRADING: explicitly PERMITTED at every phase of both programs (site lists "Can Trade News" on every account card, eval through funded). INSTRUMENTS: futures only, listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT; stocks, options, forex, crypto and CFDs are not permitted/available. MAX ACCOUNTS: up to 5 concurrent evaluation accounts per email (across TCP and Gauntlet Mini combined); funded accounts capped at 3 concurrent LiveSim accounts OR 1 concurrent Live account per the official account cards (a third-party source claims a mixed "2 LiveSim + 1 Live" concurrency is allowed — medium confidence, not confirmed on the primary site). PROHIBITED CONDUCT (per official help-center article "Prohibited Conduct in Earn2Trade Evaluations and in the LiveSim/Live Trading Environment"): exploiting platform price-display errors or feed delays; spoofing/disruptive trading; executing an "unrealistic number of contracts" in a single day; collaborating/trading between connected accounts or hedging/pooling risk across unrelated accounts; using software, AI, or ultra-fast/automated data-entry techniques to gain an unfair advantage (effectively bans HFT/algo abuse, though standard automated strategies via the approved platforms are not blanket-prohibited — this line is ambiguous on the source page); trading that doesn't mirror real market practice; exploiting technical flaws; bypassing geographic/technical restrictions; trading on behalf of others or sharing account access for an incentive arrangement. COPY TRADING: trade copiers/leader-follower setups across a trader's own multiple accounts are explicitly not permitted — using them to pass multiple evaluations can void the accounts/withdrawals; hedging between a trader's own funded accounts is "strictly forbidden" and can terminate account access. RESET: evaluations can be reset from the dashboard, which reverts balance to the starting amount and clears failed-rule flags without restarting the billing cycle; Trader Career Path advertises a "Free Reset When Rebilled" mechanic — the dollar cost of a non-free/manual reset is not disclosed on the current site copy (unknown). DAILY LOSS CALCULATION: daily loss limit is real-time and includes floating/unrealized P&L plus closed P&L and commissions — breaching it via an open position alone fails the evaluation immediately, even without closing the trade; the trading day resets at 5:00pm CT.

News & overnight: Overnight holding: prohibited across both programs and all account phases (flat by 15:50 CT). News trading: allowed with no restriction across both programs and all account phases (explicitly advertised, not just "not prohibited").

Consistency rule: 40% — no single day's profit may exceed 40% of total profit accrued during the Challenge
Minimum trading days: 0 / none required to pass
Max contracts: 2 E-mini / 20 Micro contracts
Other pass rules: 30 consecutive calendar days with no trades = inactivity breach. Breaching the consistency rule recalculates the profit target upward rather than an automatic fail, per FundedNext's trading-objectives page (unusual mechanic vs. most firms — verify current wording before relying on it).

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded FundedNext Account (simulated capital, real cash payouts). Legacy is the only current model eligible for FundedNext's optional Live Trading Program (conversion to a real broker account) after sustained profitability.

Drawdown: $1,000 Max Loss Limit
Drawdown type: EOD trailing
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency / payout rule: Not clearly stated for the funded stage in sources reviewed — treat as unknown / possibly none
Payout schedule: First payout requires 5 'Benchmark Days' (each a day with ≥$100 profit on this 25K tier) and a minimum $500 total profit; payouts every 5 business days thereafter once eligible; minimum withdrawal $250; FundedNext states a 24-hour payout processing guarantee (with $1,000 credited to the trader if missed).
Profit split: 80%
Scaling / contract limits: Funded-stage contract limit rises to 3 E-mini / 30 Micro (up from 2/20 in the Challenge). Limits are fixed per phase and do not scale further with account growth. Withdrawal cap: up to 50% of accrued Performance Reward (max $3,000 on this 25K tier) per payout cycle until 30 Benchmark Days are completed, after which the cap lifts.
Other funded rules: unknown / not further detailed in sources reviewed

Profit split: 95% — included by default, no add-on fee required (FundedNext's own social-media post confirms the 95% Flex split is included, contrasting with other firms where a 90% split costs extra; ignore any marketing copy that implies a separate paid 90%-split add-on applies to Flex — none does).
Scaling / contract limits: Contract limit fixed at 3 E-mini / 30 Micro in both Challenge and funded stages (Flex does not scale contract limits by phase, unlike Legacy/Rapid).
Other funded rules: No buffer requirement to withdraw.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded FundedNext Account (no live-broker path).

Drawdown type: EOD trailing

Scaling / contract limits: Challenge-stage limit is 2 E-mini/20 Micro; the funded-stage contract limit for the NEW Rapid Pro/Daily model was not separately confirmed in sources (an older, now-superseded 'Rapid FundedNext' figure of 3/15 exists but may not apply post-revamp) — treat as unknown.

DISCONTINUED (for reference only, not currently sold) — old single-tier Rapid Challenge and Bolt 50KNot applicable — no longer purchasable as of 10 July 2026 per FundedNext's own help center

Evaluation phase

Other pass rules: Retained only for existing account-holders; no new purchases or resets available.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded (legacy, no longer sold)

Consistency / payout rule: Bolt funded stage: none. Old Rapid: unclear.
Payout schedule: Old Rapid: unclear (superseded by new 3-day/daily cadence). Bolt: daily once eligible.
Profit split: Both historically 80% (this is the split the new 90%/95% models were explicitly designed to beat).
Scaling / contract limits: See eval column figures.
Other funded rules: Existing holders continue under original terms; treat any numbers here as historical, not currently sold.

Platforms: Tradovate is the mandatory first-login platform (cloud backend); NinjaTrader and Rithmic-based terminals are also supported, and TradingView charting is available via the Tradovate integration. FundedNext charges no monthly platform fee and no data-feed surcharge on any plan.

Universal conduct rules: CURRENT PRODUCT LINEUP (as of 2026-09-05): Effective 10 July 2026, the original single-tier "Rapid Challenge" and the "Bolt" challenge were discontinued for new purchases and resets. They were replaced by a revamped "Rapid" product with two selectable reward journeys: Rapid Pro and Rapid Daily. The four currently purchasable models are therefore: Legacy, Flex, Rapid Pro, and Rapid Daily. (Existing Bolt/old-Rapid accounts opened before 10 July 2026 continue under their original terms but are no longer sold.) ACCOUNT LIMITS: An individual (and a household) may hold up to 5 active FundedNext Futures accounts at any one time. Maximum total Challenge-account allocation is $750,000 at a time across all held challenges (official help-center figure; some third-party reviews instead cite a $300,000 cap, so treat the exact ceiling as needing reconfirmation at purchase time). OVERNIGHT / WEEKEND HOLDING: NOT allowed. Per FundedNext Futures' own help article, traders must close all positions by 3:10 PM Central Time (CT) each trading day; positions not manually closed are automatically liquidated by the system. Trading resumes at 5:00 PM CT the same day, and after the weekend at 5:00 PM CT Sunday. This applies uniformly to both the Challenge and the funded FundedNext Account. (Note: some third-party marketing comparison tables describe "overnight/weekend holding allowed" for a Flex-style model — this appears to be an error or refers to FundedNext's separate CFD/Forex product line, not Futures. The dedicated Futures help article is the authoritative source and is unambiguous that positions must be flat by 3:10 PM CT.) NEWS TRADING: Fully allowed, with no restrictions on timing or news type (NFP, CPI, FOMC, GDP, geopolitical events) — confirmed on both the official "What is Allowed" general-rules page and a dedicated FAQ, for both Challenge and funded phases. The only related restriction is a general ban on opening trades within 2% of the CME's daily price limit. MAX ACCOUNTS / ALLOCATION: see above. PROHIBITED STRATEGIES (official "What is Forbidden" page + prohibited-strategies FAQ, ~20 items): exploiting platform errors/glitches; account sharing (trading someone else's account or letting others trade yours); account rolling (buying many challenges to pass by chance); multi-order spam / coordinated order manipulation; abusing slow/delayed data feeds; account flipping (reckless oversized risk-taking); unauthorized copy trading and group trading (copying between a trader's OWN accounts, including across FundedNext Futures and other prop firms under the same verified name, using tools like Tradovate's native copy feature or NinjaTrader's Replikanto, IS allowed — copying another person's trades or using paid signal services is not); spoofing; layering/order-book shaping; unrealistic "bracket strategy" exploitation of no-slippage fills; grid trading; wash trading; latency arbitrage; reverse hedging across accounts; hedging with highly correlated instruments; trading gapped/illiquid markets to exploit abnormal pricing; micro/tick-scalping (positions closed within ~10 seconds making up 40%+ of trades or profit); and trading within 2% of CME price limits. EAs, bots, and algorithmic/automated strategies ARE explicitly allowed (Tradovate-integrated), as is disciplined dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) into positions. DRAWDOWN METHODOLOGY (all current models): End-of-day (EOD) trailing maximum loss limit — the trailing floor is calculated off the highest end-of-day account balance and only moves up on new closing highs (never intraday), and is expressed as a fixed dollar amount once it stops trailing at the starting balance for most models. No model currently sold uses intraday trailing or a purely static drawdown. FUNDING KIND: All funded "FundedNext Account" stages are simulated ("sim-funded") accounts on Tradovate/NinjaTrader/Rithmic infrastructure, funded from FundedNext's own capital, with real cash payouts to the trader. Legacy is the ONLY model that offers an optional additional step — the "FundedNext Live Trading Program" — letting a sustained-profitable Legacy sim-funded trader convert into an actual live broker account (simulated profit is split 50% settlement withdrawal / 25% live trading deposit / 25% reserve on conversion). Flex, Rapid Pro, and Rapid Daily remain sim-funded only, with no live-account path found. FEES: No activation fee and no monthly fee on any model or size; the one-time Challenge purchase price is the only cost (a separate "Reset" fee applies only if a trader breaches and resets the same challenge). PRICING CAVEAT: FundedNext runs frequent promo/coupon pricing, and two different official pages returned slightly different current prices for the same Rapid Pro/Daily tiers ($149.99/$249.99 on the model landing page vs. $169.99/$279.99 on the dedicated pricing FAQ) — both are "official" but reflect different live promotions/coupons, so treat listed prices as approximate/point-in-time rather than exact.

News & overnight: News trading: fully allowed, no restrictions (see universal_rules). Overnight/weekend holding: NOT allowed — flat by 3:10 PM CT daily, auto-liquidated if not closed, resumes 5:00 PM CT (5:00 PM CT Sunday after weekend). Applies to both Challenge and funded accounts, all models.

Adversarially verified 8 load-bearing claims · 1 correction applied below.

LucidPro 25KOne-time fee $123 (site currently shows a stacked promo down to $70.60-$90.60 with coupon code VAULT); reset fee $90 (promo ~$70). No monthly/subscription cost on any Lucid plan.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,250
Max drawdown: $1,000 Max Loss Limit (MLL)
Drawdown type: End-of-day (EOD) trailing MLL, trails up with closed-session P&L until it reaches the Initial Trail Balance ($26,100), then locks at initial balance + $100.
Daily loss limit: None. Official LucidPro Evaluation Account and LucidPro Daily Loss Limit knowledge-base articles both explicitly list the 25K DLL as 'None' (soft-breach DLL is not offered at this size). Note: the live marketing pricing page briefly rendered a '$600' DLL figure under the 25K PRO card during scraping, but this appears to be a carousel/tab render artifact (the same $600 figure is the LucidDaily 25K DLL) — the two dedicated KB articles are treated as authoritative here.
Consistency rule: None during evaluation (LucidPro is the only Lucid eval program with no consistency requirement).
Minimum trading days: None stated as an explicit rule. Marketing copy says you can 'pass in as little as one day.'
Max contracts: 2 minis or 20 micros
Other pass rules: One-time fee, no rebilling; real-time dashboard; upgrade to funded within 5-30 minutes of hitting target; no activation fee.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded account first; discretionary promotion to LucidLive (real brokerage capital, $0 starting balance) after Payout 5, after paying out a significant lifetime amount, for exceptional performance, or if previously moved live.
Activation / monthly fee: FREE activation, no monthly/PA fee ever.
Drawdown: Same $1,000 MLL
Drawdown type: EOD trailing; while balance is below the $26,100 Initial Trail Balance the Fixed DLL of 'None' applies; once trail is exceeded, MLL is governed by LucidScale DLL = 60% of highest end-of-day account profit (never decreases).
Daily loss limit: None (per official docs, see eval note above).
Consistency / payout rule: For payout eligibility only: largest single-day profit must be ≤40% of total profit in the payout cycle (resets each payout).
Payout schedule: No fixed payout window, request any day once eligible. Minimum payout $500. Payout 1 max $1,000 (min balance $27,100); Payouts 2+ max $1,500 (min balance $27,600). Buffer balance (can't be paid out) = Initial MLL + $100 = $26,100. Funds deducted within minutes of approval; disbursed within 2 business days via Plaid/WorkMarket(ADP)/crypto.
Profit split: 90% trader / 10% Lucid. (Legacy-only: accounts purchased/reset before 11/28/2025 3:00 PM ET got 100% of first $10k — not available on new 2026 purchases.)
Scaling / contract limits: No scaling plan — full 2 mini/20 micro size available immediately upon funding.
Other funded rules: Minimum profit goal between payouts: $250. Household cap: 5 funded accounts total (all Lucid plans combined).

LucidFlex 25KOne-time fee $89 (promo ~$65.30); reset fee $65.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,250
Max drawdown: $1,000 MLL
Drawdown type: EOD trailing.
Daily loss limit: Optional at checkout; if enabled, fixed DLL = $600.
Consistency rule: 50% (largest day / total profit), but with a built-in 'cushion' that in practice lets most traders pass on their 2nd trading day.
Minimum trading days: None stated as a hard rule; the 50% consistency cushion is the practical driver of the ~2-day pass.
Max contracts: 2 minis or 20 micros
Other pass rules: One-time fee, real-time dashboard, funded activation in 5-30 minutes.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded; up to 5 payouts allowed, after which the trader is moved to LucidLive (real capital, $0 start) — the same discretionary/exceptional-performance criteria as other Lucid plans can also trigger an earlier move.
Activation / monthly fee: FREE, no monthly fee.
Drawdown: $1,000 MLL
Drawdown type: EOD trailing (the detailed lock-balance/LucidScale table published for LucidPro/LucidDirect was not separately republished for LucidFlex in the KB — treat the general EOD-trailing mechanism as confirmed, specific trail-lock numbers for Flex as unconfirmed/medium confidence).
Daily loss limit: Optional $600 fixed, customizable at purchase (independent choice from eval).
Consistency / payout rule: NONE on LucidFlex funded accounts (explicitly confirmed) — this is Flex's headline feature.
Payout schedule: No fixed window. Must show profit ≥$100 on at least 5 separate trading days in the cycle, AND positive net profit for the cycle. Min payout $500. Max payout = 50% of profit, capped at $1,000 flat (does not increase with repeat payouts). Max 5 payouts per account, then mandatory move to Live. No buffer-balance requirement.
Profit split: 90/10.
Scaling / contract limits: Scaling plan (funded stage only, none in eval): $0-999 sim profit = 1 mini/10 micro; $1,000-1,999 = 2 minis/20 micros (max for this size). Contract limit updates only at end of session, not intraday.
Other funded rules: No payout buffer required (unlike Pro/Daily/Direct).

LucidDaily 25KPrice is configurable (selected at checkout by EOD-vs-Intraday drawdown and DLL ON/OFF), not a single published figure. Third-party trackers (medium confidence, not directly confirmed by me on the official price ladder) list roughly $75 (Intraday+DLL on) up to $88.20 (EOD+DLL off) pre-coupon-stack, with a further 40%-off style promo often applied on top; reset fee likewise variable.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,250
Max drawdown: $1,000 MLL
Drawdown type: Trader's choice at checkout: End-of-Day OR Intraday (Intraday priced lower, EOD offers more flexibility).
Daily loss limit: Optional at checkout; if enabled, fixed DLL = $600 (does not trail with the MLL).
Consistency rule: 50% with the same built-in cushion as LucidFlex (pass achievable in ~2 days).
Minimum trading days: None explicit.
Max contracts: 2 minis or 20 micros
Other pass rules: One-time fee, no rebilling, real-time dashboard, 5-30 min funded activation.

Funded phase

Account type: Sim-funded; automatically moved to LucidLive once the account hits/exceeds its Maximum Daily Profit cap (see below), or per the standard discretionary criteria.
Activation / monthly fee: FREE, no monthly fee.
Drawdown: $1,000 MLL
Drawdown type: ALWAYS Intraday in the funded stage (regardless of what was chosen in eval). Trails to $26,100 Initial Trail Balance, then locks at $25,100.
Daily loss limit: Optional $600 fixed (same on/off choice carried from eval).
Consistency / payout rule: NONE on funded.
Payout schedule: Daily payout requests allowed. Eligibility = profit above buffer ($26,100 = MLL+$100) AND positive net profit since last payout. Min payout $500; payout maximum is simply whatever sim profit sits above the buffer. Maximum Daily Profit cap = $6,000/day — hitting/exceeding this auto-triggers the move to LucidLive.
Profit split: 90/10.
Scaling / contract limits: No published scaling plan (not documented distinctly for LucidDaily; the design uses the daily-profit cap instead of a scaling ladder — treat 'full size from day one' as medium confidence).
Other funded rules: NEWS TRADING HARD BREACH: trading U.S. high-impact ('red folder') news is NOT permitted on LucidDaily funded — must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after the event, or the account is breached. (The firm-wide 'Other Activities' article states news trading is simply 'Not allowed on Daily' without separately distinguishing eval vs. funded, so this restriction likely also applies during the LucidDaily evaluation — not separately confirmed for eval specifically.)

Platforms: Confirmed via official site: Tradovate and Rithmic data feeds (session hours and live-drawdown rules are stated separately for each). Third-party/search-summary only (medium confidence, not directly verified by me on lucidtrading.com/en/articles/11404614-supported-platforms): NinjaTrader, TradingView, Sierra Chart, Tradesea also listed as supported front-ends.

Universal conduct rules: MAX ACCOUNTS: 5 funded accounts maximum per household, across all Lucid plans combined (official FAQ). OVERNIGHT/SESSION HOURS: No genuine overnight or swing holding is permitted on ANY Lucid account type, including LucidLive real-capital accounts. LucidPro/LucidFlex/LucidDaily/LucidDirect (sim) positions must be flat by 4:45 PM ET Mon-Fri; Lucid auto-closes anything left open (this is NOT a breach/penalty, just a forced flatten); the market/session reopens 6:00 PM ET Sun-Thu; holiday early-closes override the 4:45 PM cutoff. LucidLive real accounts: 'swing trading is not allowed'; positions must close by 4:45 PM ET on Tradovate or 4:15 PM ET on Rithmic, with an optional auto-liquidate safety feature configurable at onboarding. NEWS TRADING: Permitted (with a full-responsibility/slippage disclaimer) on LucidPro, LucidFlex, and LucidDirect at every tier, both eval and funded. PROHIBITED as a hard breach specifically on LucidDaily (documented explicitly for the funded stage; the general 'Other Activities' article states news trading is 'Not allowed on Daily' without separately carving out eval, so it likely also applies to the LucidDaily evaluation, though that specific case is not separately confirmed) — traders must be flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after any 'red folder'/high-impact USD news event. HEDGING: Strictly prohibited in every form — across a trader's own multiple accounts, across different users' accounts, across different prop firms, or via correlated assets (e.g., long ES in one account / short NQ in another) — detected by automated systems; first offense resets the flagged accounts to the prior day's balance plus a warning email, repeat offenses cause a permanent breach/ban. Going long a mini and short a micro of the SAME contract in the SAME account is explicitly allowed; doing so across two separate accounts is not. Hedging on LIVE accounts is separately banned by both Lucid and the CME with permanent-ban consequences. COPY TRADING / AUTOMATED TRADING (EAs, bots, trade copiers): Explicitly PERMITTED firm-wide; the trader bears full responsibility for any software errors or malfunctions. HIGH-FREQUENCY TRADING (HFT): PROHIBITED — defined as very high order volumes executed within seconds/milliseconds via algorithms; first offense is a written warning, repeated offenses forfeit HFT-derived profits, close the account, and result in a permanent ban from Lucid services. MICROSCALPING: PROHIBITED — flagged automatically if more than 50% of an account's profit comes from trades held 5 seconds or less; triggers manual review, then (if bad faith is confirmed) a warning, then forfeiture of flagged profits and possible permanent ban on repeat. Note this is distinct from 'genuine scalping' (short-term trades reflecting realistic execution), which IS allowed. SCALING INTO POSITIONS / DCA: Permitted with no entry-method limits; martingaling (repeatedly adding to losers hoping for a reversal) is discouraged as unsustainable but is not itself a documented rule violation. 'FLIPPING' (quick in-and-out trades purely to rack up trading-day counts): explicitly allowed, not restricted. GENERAL INTEGRITY CLAUSE: Prohibits exploiting system errors/update delays or simulated-price discrepancies not reflective of real markets. HOUSEHOLD RULE: If one household member has a LucidLive real account, other members of that household may not simultaneously trade Lucid simulated accounts. LIVE TRANSITION MECHANICS: All eligible funded accounts (with ≥1 payout) move to LucidLive together when a trader is promoted; any simulated accounts with $0 payouts are closed and refunded rather than moved; new live accounts start at $0 balance with daily payouts, EOD drawdown, and no daily loss limit, plus a one-time 'Live Bonus' (up to $4,500 depending on size) paid at 90/10 split once the account closes a session with profit ≥ its starting live drawdown. COOLDOWN: A trader who blows a live account faces a standard 2-week cooldown before purchasing a new evaluation; repeated reckless/'yolo' blow-ups can extend this at Lucid's discretion. PAYOUT METHODS (firm-wide): Plaid (instant U.S. bank transfer), WorkMarket by ADP (U.S. and international, bank transfer or PayPal, funds as soon as next business day), and Crypto (BTC/ETH/LTC/USDT/USDC, international traders); average processing once approved is about 15 minutes, with funds disbursed within 2 business days. NO MONTHLY FEES ANYWHERE: every Lucid account (eval, reset, or Direct) is a single one-time purchase — there is no recurring/subscription fee at any stage, including funded and Live.

News & overnight: See universal_rules for full detail. Summary: Overnight/swing holding is not permitted on any account type (sim or live) — everything must be flat by 4:45 PM ET (4:15 PM ET on Rithmic for Live), auto-flattened by Lucid with no penalty for the sim accounts, and the session reopens 6:00 PM ET Sun-Thu. News trading around scheduled/unscheduled economic releases is allowed (trader bears full risk) on LucidPro, LucidFlex, and LucidDirect, but is a hard breach on LucidDaily for U.S. high-impact ('red folder') news unless the trader is flat from 1 minute before to 1 minute after the release.

Corrections from our verification pass

Checked claim: Ruleset's funded-account drawdown_type for LucidPro 25K/50K/100K states that once the account balance exceeds the Initial Trail Balance, the account's Max Loss Limit becomes governed by the LucidScale DLL formula (25K entry says explicitly 'MLL is governed by LucidScale DLL = 60% of highest end-of-day account profit, never decreases'; the 50K/100K entries say the same thing without the explicit MLL label, e.g. 'then LucidScale DLL = 60% of peak EOD profit').
Correction: This conflates two separate mechanisms. Per Lucid Trading's official Help Center, once the account balance exceeds the Initial Trail Balance, the Max Loss Limit (MLL) LOCKS PERMANENTLY at initial balance plus $100 ($25,100 for the 25K, $50,100 for the 50K, $100,100 for the 100K) and never moves again for the life of the account. The LucidScale DLL (60% of highest end-of-day profit, never decreasing) replaces the Fixed Daily Loss Limit, which is the single-day soft-breach cap, not the MLL or account floor. The ruleset's own eval-stage entries correctly state the lock value (trail balance then locks at initial plus $100), but the funded-stage entries then wrongly reassign the scaling LucidScale formula to the MLL instead of to the DLL. Practical effect for a trader: the account's hard floor does not scale up with profit past the trail balance, it stays fixed at initial plus $100 forever; only the daily soft-breach limit scales with LucidScale.

10 Elite Trader Funding

elitetraderfunding.com

Adversarially verified 6 load-bearing claims · 1 correction applied below.

1-Step — 50K~$197 one-time/evaluation (third-party corroborated; NOT confirmed on ETF's own site — its pricing is rendered client-side by a JS 'plan picker' that WebFetch could not read). Separate activation fee to go live once passed: from $177 one-time, or $47 'Double-Down-Deal' (2 months charged, 3rd free), or $87/month recurring.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: Live/intraday trailing — trails UP with open (unrealized) equity gains, not just realized profit
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: None during evaluation itself (only an activity rule: at least one trade placed per week to keep the account active)
Minimum trading days: 5 (any calendar day a trade is placed counts; Sunday+Monday sessions count as one day). No maximum time limit to hit the target.
Max contracts: 8 minis / 80 micros (contract-type caps enforced independently — cannot stack mini + micro exposure to exceed the limit)
Other pass rules: $47 reset fee on breach instead of buying a new evaluation. All trades must be closed 1 minute before market close (no overnight/weekend holding on this plan).

Funded phase

Account type: Elite Sim-Funded (simulated capital) → promotable to LIVE ELITE (real capital) per firm discretion or automatic benchmarks
Activation / monthly fee: See cost field — same fee menu (one-time ~$177 / Double-Down $47 / $87 monthly)
Drawdown: Trailing until a 'safety net' is reached (starting balance + $2,000 max drawdown + $100 realized profit); once hit, the floor converts to STATIC at starting-balance + $100 and no longer trails
Drawdown type: Trailing-to-static hybrid ('safety net' mechanism)
Daily loss limit: Not documented for the Elite Sim-Funded stage of the 1-Step plan (daily loss limit language only appears attached to End of Day / Diamond Hands / DTF products)
Consistency / payout rule: Active Trade Day (ATD) rule gates every payout: a day only counts if realized profit ≥ the GREATER of $200 or 23% of your best day to date (setting a new best day raises the bar). Reward Cycle 1 needs 8 ATDs; Cycles 2-4 need 10 ATDs each.
Payout schedule: Sources indicate Elite Sim-Funded payouts are processed on a Mon/Wed cycle; a '48-hour reward guarantee' pays a $1,000 credit if ETF misses that window. LIVE ELITE pays daily on business days with the same 48-hour guarantee. Minimum withdrawal figures were not confirmed precisely (third-party sources say ~$100-$300 depending on plan) — treat as approximate.
Profit split: Up to 100% of simulated profit, capped at $25,000 lifetime per Elite Sim-Funded track (this is also the trigger threshold toward LIVE ELITE); overall lifetime sim-profit cap of $150,000 across resets/re-entries. LIVE ELITE = 80% trader / 20% firm, uncapped. NOTE: two official-domain pages gave conflicting max-per-cycle payout figures for the 50K 1-Step (one said Cycle-1 cap $1,000 / Cycle-2+ $1,250; a blog on the same domain said Cycle-1 $1,250 rising to $2,000 by Cycle-4) — unresolved conflict, flagged rather than guessed.
Scaling / contract limits: Max 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts per trader. Up to 3 free resets on a failed funded account without repassing the evaluation. Contract cap carries forward at 8 minis/80 micros.
Other funded rules: Loss Limit Rule: once the account has reached 20% profit, giving back more than 35% of ACCUMULATED profit (i.e., floor = starting balance + 65% of accumulated profit) triggers account removal and disqualifies the trader from LIVE ELITE — checked at every payout request and in risk audits. Must log in at least every 30 days and place ≥1 trade/week (advance email notice required for medical/travel gaps).

1-Step — 100K~$247 one-time/evaluation (third-party corroborated, not verifiable on ETF's own JS-rendered pricing page); activation fee ~$247 one-time (or $47 Double-Down / $87 monthly, per the shared fee menu).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $6,000
Max drawdown: $3,000
Drawdown type: Live/intraday trailing
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: None during evaluation (weekly-trade activity rule only)
Minimum trading days: 5
Max contracts: 14 minis / 140 micros
Other pass rules: Same $47 reset fee; must flatten 1 minute before close.

Funded phase

Account type: Elite Sim-Funded → promotable to LIVE ELITE
Activation / monthly fee: ~$247 one-time / $47 Double-Down / $87 monthly
Drawdown: Trailing until safety net (max drawdown $3,000 + $100 realized profit) reached, then converts to static floor at starting balance + $100
Drawdown type: Trailing-to-static hybrid
Daily loss limit: Not documented for this plan's funded stage
Consistency / payout rule: Same ATD rule as all standard plans: ≥$200 or 23% of best day; 8 ATDs Cycle 1, 10 ATDs Cycles 2-4
Payout schedule: Same as 50K tier (Mon/Wed cycle claim, 48-hour guarantee) — not independently confirmed per-size
Profit split: Up to 100% sim profit, $25,000 lifetime cap toward LIVE ELITE promotion, $150,000 overall lifetime sim cap; LIVE ELITE 80/20
Scaling / contract limits: Max 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts; 14 mini/140 micro cap carries forward; up to 3 free resets
Other funded rules: Same Loss Limit Rule (35% giveback of accumulated profit after 20% gain triggers removal); same 30-day login / weekly-trade requirements.

1-Step — 250K~$597 one-time/evaluation per one third-party source (unverified on official site; another third-party source instead listed a 150K 1-Step tier at $347, which ETF's own product page did NOT list — likely a stale/incorrect third-party entry, flagged as a conflict).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $15,000
Max drawdown: $6,500
Drawdown type: Live/intraday trailing
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: None during evaluation (weekly-trade activity rule only)
Minimum trading days: 5
Max contracts: 24 minis / 240 micros
Other pass rules: $47 reset fee; flatten 1 minute before close.

Funded phase

Account type: Elite Sim-Funded → promotable to LIVE ELITE
Activation / monthly fee: ~$277 one-time per third-party pricing table (unverified); or $47 Double-Down / $87 monthly
Drawdown: Trailing until safety net ($6,500 + $100 realized) reached, then static floor at starting balance + $100
Drawdown type: Trailing-to-static hybrid
Daily loss limit: Not documented for this plan's funded stage
Consistency / payout rule: Same ATD rule (≥$200 or 23% of best day; 8/10/10/10 ATDs by cycle)
Payout schedule: Same firm-wide schedule claims as other 1-Step tiers (unconfirmed per-size)
Profit split: Up to 100% sim profit, $25,000 lifetime cap toward LIVE ELITE, $150,000 overall lifetime cap; LIVE ELITE 80/20
Scaling / contract limits: Max 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts; 24 mini/240 micro cap; up to 3 free resets
Other funded rules: Same Loss Limit Rule and login/weekly-trade requirements as other plans.

Fast Track — 10KBilled monthly per firm's own evaluations page; third-party figures conflict sharply ($57-$77 one-time vs a separate unrelated claim of $75/$175 for what may be a different/renamed 100K-250K Fast Track product) — treat all Fast Track price figures as unverified/promotional.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $2,000
Max drawdown: $500
Drawdown type: Trader's choice of EOD trailing ("trails at session close, only realized profit moves the floor") or Static (fixed at $500 from day one, never moves)
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency rule: 40% consistency to qualify for funding (single best day cannot exceed 40% of total profit); tightens to 30% consistency at reward/payout time
Minimum trading days: 3 trading days minimum (after hitting the $2,000 target)
Max contracts: 1 mini / 10 micros
Other pass rules: Weekly-trade activity rule to stay active. First month of funded activation is bundled into the Fast Track evaluation price. One third-party source also cites a 10-14 calendar-day time limit on Fast Track evaluations — NOT confirmed on ETF's own page, flagged as unverified.

Funded phase

Account type: Elite Sim-Funded → promotable to LIVE ELITE
Activation / monthly fee: First month bundled into eval price per official page; ongoing fee structure beyond that not confirmed (unknown)
Drawdown: Same EOD-trailing-to-static or fixed-static mechanic as evaluation, per the trader's chosen variant
Drawdown type: EOD trailing OR Static (plan-holder's choice)
Daily loss limit: Not documented for the funded stage
Consistency / payout rule: 30% consistency rule at reward time (single best day ≤30% of total profit) — distinct from the standard-plan ATD formula
Payout schedule: Not confirmed specifically for Fast Track (assume firm-wide Elite Sim-Funded cycle, unconfirmed)
Profit split: Up to 100% of sim profit, subject to the same $25,000/$150,000 lifetime caps as other plans (not explicitly re-confirmed for Fast Track specifically)
Scaling / contract limits: 1 mini/10 micro cap; max 5 active accounts firm-wide rule presumably applies
Other funded rules: Same Loss Limit Rule and activity requirements presumed to apply; not independently re-confirmed for this plan.

End of Day — 50K~$347 one-time per third-party pricing table (unverified on ETF's own site); activation fee ~$177 one-time (or shared $47/$87 fee menu).

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $3,000
Max drawdown: $2,000
Drawdown type: End-of-day trailing — floor moves only off the highest CLOSED (session-end) balance; open/unrealized profit during the day never raises the floor
Daily loss limit: $1,100 (hard breach — calculated off the prior day's ending balance; breaching it, even on an open trade, is an immediate fail)
Consistency rule: None during evaluation (weekly-trade activity rule only)
Minimum trading days: 5 to pass evaluation; 8 minimum "qualified" days required before the first payout once funded
Max contracts: 8 minis / 80 micros
Other pass rules: $47 reset on breach instead of a new purchase.

Funded phase

Account type: Elite Sim-Funded → promotable to LIVE ELITE
Activation / monthly fee: ~$177 one-time / $47 Double-Down / $87 monthly
Drawdown: EOD-trailing until safety net reached, then converts to static per the same $100-over-drawdown mechanism used on other plans (exact funded-stage figure not separately re-confirmed for EOD)
Drawdown type: End-of-day trailing, converting to static at safety net
Daily loss limit: Presumed to carry forward at $1,100 into the funded stage (not explicitly re-confirmed for the funded stage specifically — flagged)
Consistency / payout rule: Standard ATD rule (≥$200 or 23% of best day; 8 ATDs Cycle 1, 10 ATDs Cycles 2-4)
Payout schedule: Up to $3,000 max payout per cycle cited on the official End-of-Day product page; general firm-wide Mon/Wed processing claim + 48-hour guarantee (not size-specific)

End of Day — 150K~$657 one-time per one third-party pricing table; another third-party source separately cited ~$457/month for the same tier — the two conflict and neither is confirmed on ETF's own site.

Evaluation phase

Profit target: unknown — not found on any official page fetched; official Contract-Limits help page confirms this SKU exists (18 minis/180 micros) but the End-of-Day product landing page ETF itself only detailed 50K and 100K, omitting 150K entirely

Drawdown type: End-of-day trailing (by product-family default; exact dollar figure unconfirmed)
Consistency rule: None during evaluation, presumed consistent with the rest of the EOD family
Minimum trading days: 5 to pass (presumed, consistent with the rest of the EOD family — not independently re-confirmed for this SKU)
Max contracts: 18 minis / 180 micros (confirmed via official Contract-Limits help page)
Other pass rules: unknown beyond the standard $47 reset presumed to apply firm-wide

Funded phase

Account type: Elite Sim-Funded → promotable to LIVE ELITE (presumed, consistent with rest of EOD family)
Activation / monthly fee: unknown exact figure; likely in the $257-ish range paid by the 100K tier, not confirmed

Consistency / payout rule: Standard ATD rule presumed (8/10/10/10 by cycle), not independently confirmed for this SKU

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $1,000
Max drawdown: $500
Drawdown type: Static (fixed floor from day one; profits never raise it, e.g. the floor stays put even after a winning trade)
Daily loss limit: None — official help page explicitly states Static plans carry no daily loss limit and no consistency rule during evaluation
Consistency rule: None during evaluation
Minimum trading days: 5 minimum; no maximum — you keep paying the recurring evaluation fee every ~30 days until you pass or cancel
Max contracts: 1 contract / 1 mini / 10 micros
Other pass rules: Must trade the most current, highest-volume contract month; auto-renews every 30 days at the eval price until passed or cancelled.

Drawdown type: Static (fixed)
Daily loss limit: None (consistent with the evaluation-stage rule)
Consistency / payout rule: Standard ATD rule presumed (8/10/10/10 by cycle); one source notes the $200 ATD minimum is reduced to $100 for select smaller accounts including 100K Static — unclear if 10K/25K Static also qualify for the reduced threshold
Payout schedule: Presumed firm-wide schedule, not confirmed per-size
Profit split: Presumed up to 100% sim profit subject to standard $25,000/$150,000 caps

Drawdown type: Static (fixed)
Daily loss limit: None
Consistency / payout rule: Standard ATD rule presumed; note one source lists 25K EOD (not 25K Static) among the reduced-$100-ATD-minimum accounts — this is for a different product family and should not be assumed to apply here

Scaling / contract limits: 2 mini/20 micro cap; max 5 active accounts

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $4,000

Evaluation phase

Profit target: $5,000

Drawdown type: Fixed/static (NOTE: unlike the 10K and 50K DTF tiers which are EOD-trailing, one official-domain summary explicitly described the 100K DTF drawdown as 'fixed' rather than trailing — treat this size as static-type, distinct from its siblings)

Other funded rules: Weekly-trade activity requirement.

Platforms: Tradovate confirmed (official help article "Determining Drawdown on Tradovate"). Other supported platforms (NinjaTrader, Rithmic-based DOM, etc.) were not confirmed in this research — treat as unknown rather than assumed.

Universal conduct rules: MAX ACCOUNTS: 5 active Elite Sim-Funded accounts per trader firm-wide; separately, 5 active Direct-to-Funded accounts per trader. Exceeding the cap can get the excess accounts deactivated without notice. — LOGIN/ACTIVITY: must log in at least every 30 days and place at least one qualifying trade per calendar week on every active account (advance email notice required for medical/travel absences), or the account can be closed. — HEDGING/CORRELATED INSTRUMENTS: prohibited across one OR MULTIPLE accounts. Two tiers defined: Tier 1 = same-underlying size variants (e.g., ES/MES) — ANY position in one is treated as identical exposure to the other regardless of direction/size; Tier 2 = different products tracking the same market (e.g., all equity indices ES/NQ/YM/RTY together, or all crude-oil variants CL/RB/HO/NG together). Full Tier-2 mechanics were not fully retrievable from the help center in this pass. — MARTINGALE CONDUCT: explicitly named and prohibited under the Terms of Service — 'adding to a losing position, or re-entering the same exposure right after a loss to try to recover it' is treated as Martingale conduct. — TRADE COPIERS/EAs/ALGOS: conflicting official-domain guidance found. One current help-center article ('Trade Copier Disclaimer') says copiers are permitted ONLY from a named list of approved partners (Tradesyncer, Tradecopia, Affordable Indicators, Replikanto Flowbot PropFirm-Compliance-Edition) plus any copy feature native to the trading platform itself, used entirely at the trader's own risk. A separate, differently-titled help article found via search ('Important Notice: Third-Party Trade Copiers No Longer Allowed') suggests ETF later moved to a blanket ban on ANY third-party copier. Which supersedes which as of 2026-09-05 could not be conclusively determined in this research — flag this to Chris/the reader and verify directly with support before relying on any copier. — VPN/VPS: since a September-2025 policy change, VPN and VPS use for TECHNICAL/infrastructure purposes is allowed; using a VPN specifically to MASK your true geographic location remains prohibited. — RESTRICTED COUNTRIES: traders from countries on 'Rise's restricted list' (Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Cuba, DR Congo, Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Yemen) cannot buy accounts, get funded, or receive payouts; Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands are also unsupported. A trader's country must be supported by BOTH Rise (payout processor) and Stripe (payment processor). — PAYMENT PROCESSING: managed via Stripe. — CONTRACT RULE (Static plans, at minimum): must trade the current, highest-volume contract month, not a stale/back month. — LOSS LIMIT RULE (funded accounts, firm-wide): once an account has reached 20% profit, giving back more than 35% of ACCUMULATED profit (floor = starting balance + 65% of accumulated profit) triggers account removal and permanent disqualification from LIVE ELITE promotion; checked at every payout request and during risk audits.

News & overnight: NEWS TRADING: explicitly UNRESTRICTED. Official help center states 'ETF does not impose any restrictions or limitations on traders during major economic news events' across all plans — but the firm disclaims liability for any platform slowdowns or order-execution failures during high-volatility news windows; trading through news is entirely at the trader's own execution risk. — OVERNIGHT/WEEKEND HOLDING: plan-dependent, NOT universal. Standard plans (1-Step, End of Day, Static, Fast Track) require ALL positions to be closed 1 minute before market close — no overnight or weekend holding permitted. Diamond Hands is the explicit exception: overnight AND weekend position-holding is permitted by design (its entire value proposition), with the EOD-trailing floor only updating after positions close and open losses still counting intraday against its $1,500 daily loss limit. On LIVE ELITE (real-money) accounts, overnight holding is allowed but the trader is fully financially responsible for any overnight margin charges incurred; ETF invoices those charges and failure to pay by the stated deadline can result in account forfeiture. Direct-to-Funded plans' overnight policy was not conclusively confirmed either way in this research (unknown).

Corrections from our verification pass

Checked claim: 1-Step evaluation cost is '~$197 one-time/evaluation' (50K) and '~$247 one-time/evaluation' (100K).
Correction: The 1-Step evaluation fee is NOT one-time. It is a recurring monthly subscription charged every 30 days until the trader passes. Official ETF help article: "Simply pay the Evaluation subscription every 30 days until you pass... If you have not failed your Evaluation, your current profit and drawdown will carry over when your renewal is processed." A third-party pricing guide corroborates monthly billing and lists current rates of $165/month (50K) and $205/month (100K), different from the $197/$247 figures in the ruleset (pricing may have changed or varies by promo, but the billing model itself is the load-bearing error). The separate post-pass activation-fee menu ($177 one-time / $47 Double-Down-Deal / $87/month) is unaffected by this correction.
