- Five separate funding paths (Trailing, EOD, Static, Instant/S2F, Straight to Live), each with its own price and rules
- Consistency rule is 50% during a standard evaluation, dropping to 30% once live-funded (Pro Account) — 20% on Instant/S2F
Take Profit Trader
- Day-one withdrawals once you reach PRO status, paid daily with no caps
- No consistency rule and no daily loss limit at all once you're PRO or PRO+ — only the Test carries one
