Overview
Our Expert Model is designed for traders who want to prove their skills quickly. It only has an Evaluation Phase, which you need to pass to gain access to a Simulated Funded Account where you can start generating profits.
This is an overview of the most important rules you must follow. You will also find the requirements to apply for a payout.
Trading Rules - Evaluation Stage
Drawdown limit
You can choose between the End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown or the Intraday Trailing Drawdown. The drawdown method that you choose will apply to both the Evaluation and Simulated Funded Account. Exceeding your drawdown limit will result in account failure.
End-Of-Day Trailing Drawdown Limit The EOD Trailing Drawdown Limit is the total amount your balance/equity can decrease. If the account balance increases by the end of the day, the drawdown limit adjusts upward. If the account balance decreases, the drawdown remains unchanged.
The EOD Trailing Drawdown locks when profits exceed the drawdown limit by $100. For example, in a $50,000 account with a $2,000 drawdown, once profits reach $2,600, the drawdown locks at $50,100. | Intraday Trailing Drawdown The Intraday Trailing Drawdown Limit is the total amount your balance/equity can decrease during the trading day. If the account balance/equity increases throughout the day, the drawdown threshold adjusts upward. If the account balance/equity decreases, the drawdown threshold remains unchanged.
The Intraday Trailing Drawdown threshold locks when the account balance/equity exceeds the Trailing Max Drawdown limit by $100. For example, in a $100,000 account with a $3,000 drawdown, once your profits reach $3,100, the drawdown threshold locks at $100,100. |
Contracts
A $50,000 account can trade up to 4 contracts (40 Micros).
A $100,000 account can trade up to 6 contracts (60 Micros).
A $150,000 account can trade up to 9 contracts (90 Micros).
Swing Trading and Trading Hours
All positions must be closed BEFORE 4:59 PM EST Monday through Friday, before the market closes. Any open positions will be automatically closed at 4:59 PM ET. This will not result in a fail or loss of account.
Starting at 6:00 PM EST, Monday through Thursday, and on Sunday evening, you can start placing trades again.
This means that you are not able to swing trade or hold positions over multiple days.
News Trading
You are allowed to trade news events.
