Questions by program.

The exact math behind drawdown and consistency for each program, worked through with real numbers.

The overall drawdown limit is 6%, and it trails your highest recorded balance rather than sitting fixed at your starting balance — until you reach 6% total profit, at which point it locks to your initial balance for good.
Example — $100,000 account
Start of day: balance $100,000 → stop-out set at $94,000 (6% below start).
Balance rises to $103,000 during the day → stop-out moves up to $97,000 (6% below the new high).
Once balance reaches $106,000 (6% profit) → stop-out locks permanently at $100,000, the initial balance, and no longer trails further highs.
The daily drawdown limit is 4% of your initial balance, reset each day at 5PM EST based on the higher of your balance or equity at that moment.
Example — $100,000 account
5PM EST balance: $104,000, equity: $103,000 → the higher value, $104,000, is used.
Stop-out for the next trading day = $104,000 − $4,000 (4% of initial balance) = $100,000.
If balance or equity touches $100,000 at any point during that day, it's a breach.
The evaluation profit target is 10% of your starting balance — $10,000 on a $100,000 account. Once funded, the profit split is 90% on your first $10,000 of profit, then 80% on everything above that.
Yes, in both the evaluation and the funded phase. During evaluation, no single day may account for more than 50% of your profit target. Once funded, no single day may account for more than 45% of your total profit at the time you request a reward. If one day exceeds the threshold, keep trading until your best day falls back under it.
Evaluation example — $100,000 account, $10,000 target: no single day should exceed $5,000 in profit.
Funded example — $5,000 total profit: no single day should exceed $2,250 (45%) at the time of your reward request.
The overall drawdown limit is 10%, and it's static — fixed to your starting balance for the life of the account rather than trailing your peak balance.
Example — $100,000 account
Stop-out is fixed at $90,000 (10% below the $100,000 starting balance).
This does not move even after strong profit — it's anchored to the initial balance throughout both phases.
The daily drawdown limit is 5% of your initial balance, reset each day at 5PM EST from the higher of that day's closing balance or equity — the same mechanic as the 1-Step program, just with a 5% allowance instead of 4%.
Phase 1 requires an 8% gain on your starting balance; Phase 2 requires a further 5% gain, measured from the balance you start Phase 2 with. There's no time limit on either phase.
Yes, at 45% of total profit per single day, applied in Phase 2 and on the funded account, using the same calculation method as the 1-Step program.
Drawdown

How drawdown & floating loss work.

Drawdown is the loss limit that ends an account. Every program carries a daily limit that resets each day, an overall limit that runs for the life of the account, and a floating loss limit measured across your entire open book — here's exactly how each is measured.

Daily · Balance Based

Daily Drawdown

Reset every day at 5PM EST from the higher of your balance or equity. The dollar amount is fixed for the life of the account — only the starting point moves.

An intraday dip can still breach the limit even if you close the day in overall profit.
Overall · Static

Static Overall Drawdown

Anchored permanently to your starting balance. Profits never move the floor — used on the 2-Step program.

$100,000 account, 10% limit → stop-out sits at $90,000 for the life of the account, regardless of peak balance.
Overall · Trailing

Trailing Overall Drawdown

Follows your highest recorded balance, holding the same dollar buffer below each new peak — used on the 1-Step Nitro program until it locks at your target.

The limit only ever moves up with new highs, never back down, so a pullback after a strong run can still trigger a breach.
Aggregate · Floating

Floating Loss Limit

Applies across your entire open book at once — the combined unrealized loss of every open position together may never exceed 1% of the account's initial balance, regardless of overall equity.

$100,000 account → the combined floating loss across all open trades may never exceed $1,000 at any moment. This is checked continuously, not just at day-close.
