Risk profile
On the strictest plan you must earn $4.00 for every $1.00 of drawdown you are allowed to lose.
What this drawdown type means for you
End-of-day trailing drawdown
Your loss limit moves up based on your closing balance each day, not on intraday spikes. Profit you take and hold to the close raises the floor; profit you win and lose back within the same session does not count against you. It is materially more forgiving than intraday trailing, but the floor still ratchets upward permanently and never falls back once it has moved.
Intraday trailing drawdown
Your loss limit follows the highest point your account reaches during the session, updating tick by tick on unrealised profit. If a trade runs $2,000 in your favour and you then give it all back, the limit has already moved up with that peak — so it is possible to breach the account on a day you finish flat. This is the least forgiving drawdown mechanic; treat open profit as if it were already banked.
Static drawdown
Your loss limit is set once, a fixed distance below your starting balance, and never moves. Every dollar of profit becomes a real buffer between you and the breach point. This is the most forgiving of the three mechanics, and the easiest to plan around, because the number you must not touch is known on day one and stays put.
Pricing position
Cost per $1,000 funded counts the evaluation plus any activation fee, then normalises across account sizes — the honest way to compare a cheap small account against a pricier large one. Prices shown before promo codes. See all 16 plans →
