View the profile on TrustpilotDay trading and swing evaluation tracks
Evaluations divide into two day-trading plans (Day Trading Max and Day Trading Flex) and two swing plans (Swing Flex and Swing Max), with tier table sizes at $5K, $25K, $50K, $100K, and $200K. Profit targets range from 6% to 15% across the lineup, and the Day Trading Max table sets a 6% target with a 70% profit split. Day Trading Flex, Swing Flex, and Swing Max require 3 minimum trading days, while Day Trading Max does not publish a minimum day count.
Tight loss limits and unstated drawdown formulas
Maximum drawdown runs from 3% to 7% depending on the track: 3% on Day Trading Max, 4% on Day Trading Flex, and 7% on both Swing Flex and Swing Max. Daily drawdown sits between 1% and 3%, dropping to 1% on the Day Trading Max table. None of the four programs publishes whether its maximum drawdown is static or trailing, so the exact floor behavior is left open on the public page.
Bi-weekly payouts and manual trading rules
Funded accounts become eligible for a first payout after 14 days and pay on a bi-weekly schedule after that, keeping the 70% profit split across every size. News trading is allowed across the firm, and weekend holding is allowed on Swing Flex and Swing Max. Automated EAs are banned, while rules on HFT, copy trading, and scalping are not published.
Risk Analysis
Day Trading Max pairs a 3% maximum drawdown with a 1% daily loss limit against a 6% profit target, so a small intraday pullback can halt trading for the day. None of the four plans publishes whether its 3% to 7% maximum drawdown is static or trailing, which you should confirm with support before buying. EAs are banned outright, and weekend holding is only listed as allowed on Swing Flex and Swing Max.
