How Drawdown Works
- Evaluation uses fixed drawdown with no trailing.
- Funded accounts use intraday trailing during the buffer phase.
- After realized profits exceed the initial drawdown distance by $1, drawdown switches to end-of-day (EOD) trailing.
- Buffer clears at $52,001 on a 50K, $103,001 on a 100K, and $154,501 on a 150K.
Funded Account Rules

Questions

Evaluation fees generate revenue which is true for every prop firm, but our long-term model is built around profitable traders. We win when the traders we back win.
The account fails and open positions close. You can start again with a new evaluation, or a reset, which is optional and priced separately.
