What to compare
Rules and pricing can change. Verify current terms with the provider before purchasing.
Different paths suit different trading styles
The provider currently lists one-step, two-step, pay-after-pass and instant-funded models.
One-Step
The current standard model lists an 11% profit target, 7% maximum overall loss and 4% daily loss limit, with five minimum trading days under its published standard rules.
Two-Step
The current standard model lists 9% and 5% profit targets, with 10% maximum overall loss and 5% daily loss limits.
Instant Funded
An alternative model without a traditional evaluation. Current published rules include a 5% trailing maximum loss and 3% daily loss limit.
The rules matter more than the headline balance.
Before buying an evaluation, read the current rules carefully. A large nominal account does not mean you can risk the same amount on every trade.
Understand whether the limit is static, trailing or calculated from a high-water mark.
Check when the daily baseline resets and whether floating losses count.
Some models require minimum trading days or minimum daily gains.
Review rules covering very short-duration trades, risk concentration and automation.

Understand payout conditions before trading.
Profit split is only one part of a payout policy. Check qualifying days, consistency requirements, buffers and payout cycles.
Default profit split
The current help documentation states an 80% default funded trader split, with optional add-ons that can increase it to 100% under applicable terms.
Payout processing
The provider currently states that qualifying payout requests are processed within 24 hours and describes a $1,000 compensation guarantee if that window is missed.
Minimum payout
The current payout guide lists a $100 minimum and additional conditions such as qualifying trading days and maintaining the required buffer.
Which type may fit your approach?
| Model | Structure | Published example | Potential fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-Step | 1 phase | 11% target / 7% max loss | Traders preferring one phase |
| Two-Step | 2 phases | 9% then 5% / 10% max loss | Traders preferring staged evaluation |
| Instant Funded | No traditional evaluation | 5% trailing / 3% daily | Experienced traders comfortable with tighter controls |
| Pay After Pass | Evaluation first | Fee paid after passing | Traders preferring deferred payment |
Don't choose a prop firm from the profit split alone.
Calculate your risk
Focus on the maximum loss you can tolerate rather than the advertised account balance.
Read breach rules
A rule violation can terminate an account even when the account is otherwise profitable.
Check payout mechanics
Understand when you can request a payout and what balance or consistency conditions apply.
