Our 1-Step Sprint 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 and withdraw profits daily from your 2nd payout.
Evaluation Phase
Trading Objective:
Reach the 6% profit target
Once you meet your profit target, you'll have to wait up to 10 minutes to pass automatically. You will receive an email confirming your success.
Funded Phase
Follow the payout requirements below to become eligible for a payout.
Trading Rules
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.
25K account: $1,000
50K account: $2,000
100K account: $3,000
150K account: $4,500 ($4,000 in funded)
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 $2,100, the drawdown locks at $50,100.
Exceeding your drawdown limit will result in account failure.
Contracts
A $25K account can trade up to 2 Minis (20 Micros).
A $50K account can trade up to 4 Minis (40 Micros).
A $100K account can trade up to 8 Minis (80 Micros).
A $150K account can trade up to 12 Minis (120 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 EST. 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 any news events.
Inactivity Rule - Evaluation
Place at least one trade every 20 days. Your account will be deactivated 20 days after your last trade.
Maximum Account Idle Time - Funded
To keep your funded account active, you must place at least one trade per week (Monday through Friday). This is per account, not per user.
Daily Loss Limit
A soft breach rule that pauses your trading for the day if you hit the loss threshold. Your account is not failed — you can resume next session. See the table below.
Account size | Evaluation | Funded |
25K | - | $500 |
50K | $1200 | $1,000 |
100K | $1,800 | $1,500 |
150K | $2,700 | $2,000 |
Payout Guidelines - Funded Account
You can request payouts daily from your 2nd payout.
Earn a generous 90% split on all profits you make.
Once you submit a payout request, it cannot be edited or canceled.
Be aware that if you fail your account before the request is processed, your payout will be denied.
Any trader can have a maximum allocation of 5 funded accounts at any given time, of which 3 can be from the following plans:

25% Consistency Rule (1st payout ONLY): no single day’s profit should exceed 25% of the total profits generated. This applies ONLY to your first payout. You can request daily payouts from your 2nd payout onwards.
(*All accounts and resets purchased before 6 PM EST April 21, 2026, have a 20% consistency rule on the first payout)

Contract Scaling Plan
1-Step Funded accounts scale progressively—your max position size grows as your balance increases. Limits are adjusted at the end of the trading day (5 pm EST) based on your closing balance.
Note: This scaling applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to full contract limits (2, 4, 8, or 12, depending on account size).

Payout window
You can request payouts daily after the reconciliation. Daily account reconciliations occur between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. EST.
Once your payout is requested, your funds are immediately withdrawn from your account. You can continue trading while we review your payout request.
Path to Live
A trader may be moved to a Live account after taking 4 payouts in a single account or 10 payouts since the last Live transition (or since starting with FundedSeat).
Our Review team monitors all traders and may reach out to move you to the Live Account before taking 4 payouts. This decision is made at FundedSeat's discretion, based on your performance.
Live Funded account upgrades are invitation-only and granted at FundedSeat's discretion. Our team will contact eligible traders via email when they meet the criteria.
