What stands out
Published advantages and trade-offs to review before choosing a program.
Key benefits
90% profit split; no consistency rule or daily loss limit on Halcyon Lite; one-time evaluation fee with no monthly subscription; 1 minimum trading day to pass a Lite evaluation; news trading, copy trading and automated/algo trading permitted; rewards paid via Rise (Riseworks) with 3-business-day processing.
Things to consider
Day-trading only, all positions must be flat by 4:45 PM EST (no overnight or weekend holding); trailing drawdown counts unrealized profit and never moves back down; maximum of 5 approved rewards per Lite account before a required transition; HFT bots prohibited; the legacy Flagship Evaluation/Funded program is being wound down through 2026-07-31.
