- Follow all trading rules and loss limits including goat guard (What Is Goat Guard).
Exception: For accounts purchased on or after July 25th, 2026, the Funded stage requires 4 profitable days, each with a minimum of 0.5% profit to be eligible for a payout, instead of the standard 3-day requirement.
What Is A Minimum Profitable Day?
- A minimum profitable day is a day on which you close at least one position and your profit for that day is at least 0.5% of the initial account balance, net of fees and commissions.
Account Violations (Hard Breach)
Daily Drawdown Limit 5%
How is it calculated?
- At 5:00 PM EST, we check the higher value between the Account Balance or Account Equity.
- Subtract 5% from that value to set the Daily Drawdown Threshold for the trading day
2. Maximum Loss Limit (Hard Breach) — 10% (Static)
This is your Absolute Floor. Your account equity or balance must never drop below 90% of your starting capital.
How is it calculated?
- Maximum Loss = Initial Account Size − 10%

Profit Split: 80% (Traders keep 80% of their profit).
Payout Cycle: Bi-weekly (Every 14 days).
Daily Profit Cap: Funded accounts have a $3,000 daily profit limit.
