01

Separate the two stages

Evaluation rules determine how you qualify. Funded-stage rules determine how you keep an account and become eligible for rewards. News trading, position holding, minimum days and consistency restrictions may change between stages.

Evaluation → Funded account → Reward eligibility

Each transition has its own conditions. Passing does not guarantee a payout.

02

A payout percentage is not a payout promise

Check the first eligible request date, qualifying days, caps, fees and excluded profits. Also confirm whether a funded account is simulated or live. The label alone does not establish that trades are executed with real firm capital.

03

Read the version that applies to you

Choose the exact product, account size and add-ons, then read that agreement. A rule from another plan or an old review can be wrong for your account. Date-stamped sources help you locate the starting point for checking.
