The three evaluations are single phase and sold as a monthly subscription that rebills until you pass. 1 Step (Zero) and 1 Step (Standard) ask for 6% of the starting balance, 1 Step (Advanced) asks for 8%. Instant (Direct) has no evaluation, but a first withdrawal target of $1,500 on $25,000 rising to $9,000 on $150,000 must be met before any payout.
The Maximum Loss Limit trails on the end of day balance high on every account and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. It is 4% on Zero, 3% to 4% on Standard, 3.5% on Advanced and 3% to 4% on Direct. It is breached on floating equity or closed balance. The terms and conditions also state a flat 4% on all account sizes, which does not match the plan tables.
The Daily Loss Guard is 2% of the starting balance, measured on the trading day's realised and unrealised profit and loss including simulated commissions and fees. Hitting it locks the account until the next trading day at 18:00 ET rather than closing it. Zero applies it in evaluation and once qualified, Standard only once qualified, and Advanced not at all.
There is no time limit. The subscription rebills monthly until the evaluation is passed and a failed evaluation is reset at no extra cost on rebill. Accounts must place at least one trade every 10 trading days, and minimum trading days are 1 on Zero, 2 on Standard and 3 on Advanced.
1 Step (Zero) has the lowest subscription, a 6% target, one minimum trading day and no consistency rule in evaluation, but a daily loss guard applies throughout. 1 Step (Standard) has no daily loss guard in evaluation and larger contract limits. 1 Step (Advanced) asks 8% with no daily loss guard at any stage and a $15,000 payout cap. Instant (Direct) is a one time fee with no evaluation.
No. The evaluations are sold as a monthly subscription that rebills from the sign up date until you pass, and the subscription ends automatically when you pass. The only clock is the inactivity rule, which requires at least one trade every 10 trading days.
The Maximum Loss Limit trails on the end of day balance high, not on intraday equity, and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance. It is breached on either floating equity or closed balance. A payout does not move it, so a limit sitting at $49,200 stays at $49,200 after a withdrawal.
1 Step (Zero) has none in evaluation. 1 Step (Standard) applies 50% in evaluation, 1 Step (Advanced) applies 40%. Once qualified, Zero and Standard apply 40% of net profit since the last withdrawal request, Advanced applies none, and Instant (Direct) applies 20%.
Zero and Standard qualified accounts start at a reduced contract limit and unlock more contracts as profit rises, reaching the full limit at $2,000 profit on a $50,000 Standard account and $4,500 on a $150,000. The $25,000 Zero account, Advanced and Direct have no scaling plan.
Five qualified accounts on Zero, Standard and Direct, and three on Advanced. Standard accounts opened before 27 July 2026 are limited to three. Holding an active Advanced qualified account limits the trader to three. Only one username per person and one person per household is permitted.
