Drawdown and Evaluation Rules

Drawdown is your max allowed loss. We use trailing drawdown, which follows your highest account equity. If you touch the drawdown floor, the account is closed.

Strix: 6 percent of account size. Express: 3 percent of account size. In dollars: Strix gives $600 (10K), $1,500 (25K), $3,000 (50K), $6,000 (100K). Express gives $300 (10K), $750 (25K), $1,500 (50K), $3,000 (100K).

Strix Plan $50K example: starting balance $50,000, trailing drawdown $3,000, drawdown floor starts at $47,000. You finish day one up $2,000 (balance $52,000). End-of-day floor moves to $49,000. You finish day two up another $1,000 (balance $53,000). Floor moves to $50,000. If you give back $3,000 and touch $50,000, the account is closed.

The drawdown floor moves UP once per session, at the market close. That is the only thing the mode controls. The floor itself is watched in real time all session, so touching it intraday still closes the account.

The drawdown floor tracks your equity high-water mark in real time, and the account ends the moment you touch it. This is the Express mode.

Yes. In the Funded and Live phases the floor locks when the floor itself climbs to the lock balance; your balance getting there is not what does it. Details are on the Rules page.

The floor trails one full drawdown below your peak, and once the floor itself climbs to the lock balance it stays put from then on. Your lock balance equals your starting capital ($10K, $25K, $50K, or $100K, depending on plan), so locking takes a peak one full drawdown above that figure. Lock applies in Funded and Live, not in Evaluation.

Activating a Funded account resets the trailing drawdown. The floor then follows your peak until the floor itself reaches your starting balance, the level it locks at, and it holds there from that point on. You can keep trading and keep requesting, but if the balance comes back down to the floor, the account closes under the standard drawdown rule.

Not on an account bought at or after 11 September 2026 at 5:35 PM ET (21:35 UTC). Those carry no consistency rule in the Evaluation and none once funded: nothing limits a single day's share of your profit in either phase. What a funded payout cycle needs instead is 8 qualifying winning days. Accounts bought before that instant keep the consistency package they were sold, where one day cannot exceed a set share of the total. They carry no fixed winning-day count and no per-day floor, but that share sets a minimum of its own: one winning day is 100% of its own cycle, so a payout cycle needs at least 4 winning days on the Strix Plan and 2 on the Express Plan before the figure can fall under the cap. Both sets are published on the Rules page, and your own account's page shows which applies to it.

The Strix Plan only. A drawdown breach during Evaluation does not have to end your run: purchase a Redemption for $39 and the same account keeps trading. It sets your account value back to the max drawdown level and adds +1.5% of fresh drawdown room on top of it. Every other rule carries on unchanged. Each Evaluation purchase includes one use. Not offered on the Express Plan, and not offered in Funded.

No. Touching the floor in Funded closes the account. Redemptions are not offered at that stage, at any price, and the account is not returned to an Evaluation. To trade again you start a new Evaluation.

Each Evaluation purchase includes one Redemption use. It is a single-use concession on that account, not an unlimited reset.

It sets your account value back to the max drawdown level rather than to your peak, and adds +1.5% of fresh drawdown room on top. Profit progress toward the target is measured from there, so a Redemption is a second run at the target, not a restoration of the balance you had.

Strix: 12 percent of account size. Express: 8 percent of account size. In dollars: Strix gives $1,200 (10K), $3,000 (25K), $6,000 (50K), $12,000 (100K). Express gives $800 (10K), $2,000 (25K), $4,000 (50K), $8,000 (100K).

No. There is no minimum number of trading days on either plan, no deadline, and on an account bought at or after 11 September 2026 at 5:35 PM ET (21:35 UTC) nothing caps a single day's share of the total either, so one strong session can take you to the target. Accounts bought before that instant carry the Strix Plan evaluation consistency cap they were sold, which does shape the pace. The winning-days requirement belongs to the funded phase and has nothing to do with passing an Evaluation.

There is nothing to pause. Evaluations never expire and there is no recurring charge running in the background, so not trading costs you nothing and no clock is running against you.

Plans are separate accounts, not toggles. Buy an account in the family you want; the original keeps running until you pass it, breach it, or close it. If you think an upgrade path applies to your account, ask support before you buy, because eligibility depends on the account’s own history.

Yes. The two families are independent, each tracked on its own rules and its own drawdown. Both count toward the 10-account limit.
