Program notes. 8% then 5%. Daily loss 5% of the balance at 12:05 AM UTC, 10% static max loss of the initial balance, through both phases and the funded stage. The catalog carries the default limits; if you bought the 6% daily or 12% max-loss add-on, set your limits by hand. Funded: same limits, 80% split (90% as a checkout add-on at +20% of the price), a payout after 15 traded days or every 30 calendar days (every 7 traded days with the Weekly add-on, +20%), all trades closed, KYC first; $300,000 funded allocation per user across 1 Phase and 2 Phases.

Program notes. One phase: 10% target. Daily loss 4% of the balance at 12:05 AM UTC. 6% TRAILING max loss: a fixed 6% of the initial balance under your highest balance, which stops at the initial balance (the firm's example: a $100,000 account starts with a $94,000 floor that rises to $100,000 and stays there). The terms word it as 6% "based on the maximum demo balance"; the FAQ's 6% of the initial balance is carried, the tighter reading. The firm trails the closed balance; we trail equity, which can only put the floor earlier. Funded: same limits, 80% split (90% as a checkout add-on at +20% of the price), a payout after 15 traded days or every 30 calendar days (every 7 traded days with the Weekly add-on, +20%), all trades closed, KYC first; $300,000 funded allocation per user across 1 Phase and 2 Phases.

Program notes. Instant account, no target: at 10% profit you may withdraw and the account doubles in size (scaling up to $1,280,000), with no minimum days for that; the split is 50% at the first level, then 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% as it doubles. Before 10%, payouts after 15 traded days or every 30 calendar days. Daily loss 4% of the account: we take 4% of the account size below the day's opening balance (the FAQ's general answer measures the daily limit from the 12:05 AM UTC balance, which gives slightly more room above the start). 6% static max loss of the account; the firm names the type only by saying trailing applies to 1 Phase and Break alone.
