drawdown & rules
- Drawdown Type
- Two models - EOD and Intraday trailing EOD: recalculated once per day at 4:59:59 PM ET on the closing balance | trails up with new highs, never down | enforced in real time the next session Intraday: trails in real time with peak balance incl. unrealized profit | touching it liquidates and fails/closes immediately Stops trailing: Performance Accounts at starting balance + $100 | Rithmic & WealthCharts evaluations at the target-profit balance | Tradovate evaluations trail indefinitely
- Daily Loss Limit
- EOD: fixed DLL per session in evaluation | hitting it pauses trading for that session and resets next session | the account fails only on the EOD drawdown threshold, not the DLL Intraday: no DLL in evaluation | risk is controlled by the intraday trailing threshold Performance Accounts: DLL is tier-based | enforced intraday on the Intraday model
- Consistency Rule
- All programs: no single trading day may exceed 50% of total accumulated profit, until the 6th payout or transfer to a Live Prop account (consistency on funded only).
- Contract / Scaling Limits
- Evaluation: 25K 4 minis/40 micros | 50K 6/60 | 100K 8/80 | 150K 12/120 Sim Funded (Performance Account): 25K 2/20 | 50K 4/40 | 100K 6/60 | 150K 10/100 Tier-based scaling in the PA
