What stands out
Published advantages and trade-offs to review before choosing a program.
Key benefits
4 live account types (Zero/Standard/Advanced/Direct), Maximum Loss Limit is EOD trailing on all accounts and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance (never resets to $0 on withdrawal), 90% flat profit split from day one on all plans, $0 activation fee on Zero/Standard/Advanced evaluations (post-July-8-2026 accounts), Direct account skips evaluation entirely for a one-time fee, Zero plan has no consistency rule during evaluation
Things to consider
Zero/Standard/Advanced are monthly-recurring subscriptions that keep rebilling until you pass the evaluation (Qualified/funded traders stop paying); Standard requires 50% evaluation consistency and Advanced requires 40%; all four account types carry a Qualified-stage consistency rule (Zero 40%, Standard 40%, Advanced none, Direct 20%); reset fees required to retry a failed evaluation
