Rules

No evaluation, but you start on 50% of the nominal size with a 6% static drawdown and a 50% split; a 10% gain doubles the account to full size (20% consistency score to scale). First withdrawal 5 trading days after becoming fully funded with at least 2% net profit; then bi-weekly (14th/15th and the last 5 days of the month); 70% split, 80% at the next level, VIP 90/100%. Approved and processed within 24 hours.

Watch out

Starts at half size with a 50% split until a 10% gain with a 20% consistency score doubles it. Own EAs only. Stop loss within 60 seconds or the trade is closed. No HFT, arbitrage, grid or cross-account hedging.

Assumptions

Where a source leaves a rule open, the Finder takes the slower reading. Each program lists what it assumes for every size; a size lists only what it adds. Every payout is requested as early as the rules allow; the request that reaches the amount takes only what it still needs.

1-Step Challenge

8 assumptions for every size

Every size

  • Trailing floor drops by each payout, so it never limits one: modelled as static
  • First payout also held to the month-end window (not stated)
  • First payout wait taken as 7 trading days (calendar or trading not stated)
