Rules Start Funded (X-Level Trader) + Evaluation Funding rules hub.

Start Funded rules

Start Funded is the X-Level Trader lane. These are live accounts under our firm with real capital. The rules are strict by design: clarity, discipline, and real-time enforcement.

Start Funded only: The rules in this section apply only to Start Funded accounts.
Risk Disclosure: Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Live account

This is live trading under firm capital. Approved traders start funded immediately.

No overnight positions

Positions may not be held overnight. Positions not closed by cutoff may be forced closed at market.

Strict enforcement

There is no flexibility for rule breaks. This lane is built for disciplined operators.

Real-time drawdown enforcement

Drawdown here means hard protection of the firm account in real time.

Rule: If at any time your live position(s) or open trades cause the account value to breach the hard floor for your level, positions are liquidated at market.
Level Starting Capital Hard Floor Drawdown Contracts
Start Funded 25K $25,000 $23,000 $2,000 2 Mini / 10 Micro
Start Funded 50K $50,000 $46,000 $4,000 4 Mini / 10 Micro
Start Funded 100K $100,000 $92,000 $8,000 8 Mini / 20 Micro
“At any time” includes intrabar movement while positions are open. Liquidation is immediate when the floor is breached.

Withdrawals

Flat + settled + 24h. Clean trigger, professional process.

Rule: After trades are settled (typically 1 day), the account must be flat (no open trades), at/above the threshold, and remain there for 24 hours (or until trades clear) before a withdrawal can be requested immediately.

Start Funded 100KAt/Above $105,000$100,000
Withdrawals are subject to compliance review and operational processing.

Evaluation Funding rules

Evaluation Funding is the standard path to funded. We keep it readable and operational: clear profit targets, clear drawdown, clear contract limits, and a consistency requirement that rewards stable trading.

How you pass

Reach the profit target without violating drawdown. Then you move to funded phase.

Choose your drawdown model

Pick Trailing Drawdown or End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown at enrollment.

Trade within max position

Contract limits are fixed by account size. Exceeding max position is a rule violation.

Drawdown models explained

This is where most firms get unclear. Here’s the plain-English version.

Trailing Drawdown

Your maximum loss threshold “trails” your best balance as you profit. It moves up with performance and does not move down as you lose.

End-of-Day (EOD) Drawdown

The drawdown check is evaluated at end of day. This can reduce intraday noise risk versus a fully intraday trailing threshold.

Which should you pick?

Trailing is stricter intraday. EOD can be calmer for some strategies. Choose the model that matches how you manage risk.

Consistency rule

We require stable performance, not one lucky day.

Rule: No single trading day may exceed 50% of your total net profits during evaluation. If your best day is too large, you must increase total net profits until your best day falls below 50%.

Minimum days and payouts

Evaluation requires a minimum number of trading days before moving to funded phase, and the funded phase supports fast withdrawals.

Minimum days

Evaluation requires a minimum trading-day count before conversion to funded phase.

Withdrawals

Funded phase is designed for fast withdrawal access under published rules.

Clarity first

We publish the rules plainly so you always know what qualifies and what doesn’t.
