Pricing honestyCritical3/10
Resetting timers, perpetual “discounts”, or undisclosed add-ons inflate the real cost of getting and staying funded.
“ANY SIZE EVALS, UP TO 90% OFF - 90% OFF | USE CODE: COUPON "SAVENOW" ... Ends in: 6d 00h 39m. Configurator 25K Intraday eval: list $199.00 -> $19.90 (with Coupon Code).” source
Drawdown modelElevated4/10
How the account gets breached. Trailing or intraday drawdown can end your account on an open-trade swing — not only on realized losses.
“The threshold follows the account's highest intraday balance (Peak Balance) ... The threshold is enforced in real time, including unrealized PnL. Peak Balance includes both realized and unrealized gains. In Performance Accounts, trailing stops once Starting Balance + $100 is reached. (EOD Trail alternative, same price: calculated at market close on EOD balance = trailing-EOD/EOD-equity = rubric level 7.)” source
Terms stabilityElevated5/10
Frequent terms changes can move the goalposts on an account you are already trading under.
“You may have questions about legacy accounts from before March 1, 2026, and new accounts purchased after this date. ... No rules or program changes. No "retroactive" changes. Legacy Eval and PA accounts are not impacted.” source
Payout capElevated5/10
A cap limits what you can withdraw per cycle. On some firms, profit above the cap is delayed; on a few, it is voided outright.
“$100,000 EOD account maximum payout per request: Payout 1 $2,000; Payout 2 $2,500; Payout 3 $2,500; Payout 4 $3,000; Payout 5 $4,000; Payout 6 $4,000. The account is closed after the 6th payout.” source
