Pilot: 1-Step - Daily Ultra

Our 1-Step Daily Ultra model is the ultimate plan. Choose between a 25 or 35% consistency in the Evaluation Phase. Once passed, you gain access to a Simulated Funded Account where you can:

  • Withdraw daily and from day one

  • Uncapped payouts - no max withdrawal limit

  • EOD drawdown

During the pilot, you can only trade one account of the 1-Step Daily Ultra (next to your maximum allocation of regular plans).

Evaluation Phase

Trading Objectives:

  • Reach the 6% profit target

  • Meet the 25% consistency rule; your most profitable day cannot account for more than 25.00% of your total profits.

    If you select the 35% consistency in the evaluation, your most profitable day cannot account for more than 35.00% of your total profits.

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.

For the accounts with 25% consistency the values are:

  • 25K account: $1,000

  • 50K account: $2,000

  • 100K account: $3,000

For the accounts with 35% consistency the values are:

  • 25K account: $750

  • 50K account: $1,500

  • 100K account: $2,250

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.

Hitting your drawdown threshold will result in account failure.

Important: The drawdown threshold locks at starting balance + $100 after your first payout request.

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).

There is a scaling plan in the funded phase.

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 Allowed - Evaluation

You are allowed to trade any news events in the evaluation phase.

-------

News Trading Restrictions - Funded

Funded accounts must be out of all open positions and have no open orders one minute before, during, and one minute after any prohibited news event.

Trading during the news events below will lead to account failure.

Prohibited news events for all instruments:

  • FOMC statements/announcements Wednesdays at 2:00 PM EST (FED speakers, FOMC meeting minutes are allowed)

  • Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) Monthly, Fridays at 8:30 AM EST

  • Consumer Price Index (CPI)

Additional prohibited news events for specific instruments:

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.


Payout Guidelines - Funded Account

  • You can request unlimited payouts per day, even from day one.

  • Earn a generous 80% split on all profits you make.

  • As soon as you hit the requirements, it may take up to 10 minutes for the dashboard to refresh.

  • Once your payout is requested, your funds are immediately withdrawn from your account. You can continue trading while we review your payout request.

  • Once you submit a payout request, it cannot be edited or canceled.

  • During the pilot, you can only trade one account of the 1-Step Daily Ultra (next to your maximum allocation of regular plans).

Minimum payout amount: $250

Maximum payout amount: there is no maximum payout amount.

Your account must exceed the buffer below to request a payout:

  • $1,100 on the $25K account

  • $2,100 on the $50K account

  • $3,100 on the $100K account

To keep the account active, you may not withdraw from this buffer. You may withdraw 50% of the buffer zone; however, this action will lead to account termination.

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).
