Frequently asked questions

Question 1

How do the phases work?

Accepted Answer

Phase 1 begins once you purchase an account. Once you hit your profit target; while maintaining a 25% consistency, you will be able to request a payout and then advance to the next Phase. A new Phase your account will begin with a fresh starting balance.

Question 2

When do I get the payout for each Phase?

Accepted Answer

Once you complete a Phase and meet the 25% consistency rule you will be eligible to make a request for that Phase’s payout. You will not be able to advance to the next phase until the payout is requested and completed.

Question 3

What is the Consistency Requirement?

Accepted Answer

We have a Consistency Requirement to ensure traders aren't hitting profit targets through a few lucky trades. This promotes consistent behavior and punishes YOLO style trading. The calculation is: (best trading day PnL/Total PnL) x 100.

A lower value means profits are generated more consistently across multiple trading days. A higher value means profits are concentrated on fewer trading days. For example, a consistency requirement of 25% means you cannot achieve your entire profit target in less than 4 days (100% / 25% = 4).

You must meet both the profit target and the consistency requirement — maintaining a consistency ratio at or below 25% — to hit your profit target, be eligible for a payout, and to advance to the next phase.

Example 1: On a $100k account with a profit target of $8,000, if you earn $2,000 per day over 4 days, you meet the consistency requirement. Your best day is $2,000, and total profit is $8,000 — resulting in a consistency ratio of 25% ($2,000 / $8,000).
Example 2: On a $100k account with a profit target of $8,000, if your profits across 4 days are $3,000, $1,000, $2,000, and $2,000, you violate the consistency requirement. Your best day is $3,000, and total profit is $8,000 — which gives a consistency ratio of 37.5% ($3,000 / $8,000). To meet the consistency requirement of 25%, you would now need to reach a total profit of $12,000 while keeping your best day at or below $3,000.

Question 4

Do I lose my account if I don’t meet the Consistency Requirement?

Accepted Answer

No. But in order to complete the phase and be entitled to receive the payout, you will need to achieve both the profit target and the consistency requirement.

Question 5

Is there a Daily Loss Limit?

Accepted Answer

There is no specific Daily Loss Limit, but traders must always stay within the Max Trailing Loss.

Question 6

How do you calculate the Maximum Trailing Loss?

Accepted Answer

The Maximum Trailing Loss for each phase trails using End of Day Balance.

Example: If your starting balance is $100,000, and there is a 5% Max Trailing Loss, you can drawdown to $95,000 before you violate the Maximum Trailing Loss rule. Then for example let's say you take your end of day balance to $102,000. This is your new End of Day High-Water Mark, which would mean your new Maximum Trailing Loss would be $97,000. Once you generate a 5% return in the account, the Max Trailing Loss will lock at the starting balance (i.e. the Max Loss Limit will never increase above your starting balance). For the purpose of all calculations, the end of day is defined as 1600 CST.

Question 7

Can I reset my account if I lose it?

Accepted Answer

No. You will need to purchase a new account if you breach it for any reason.

Question 8

Can I hold positions over the weekend?

Accepted Answer

No. All positions must be closed and all open orders cancelled at 1510 CST each weekday.

Question 9

What is the 60 Day Maximum Time rule?

Accepted Answer

Each Phase (1-4) has a maximum time limit of 60 calendar days. This means you must meet all the requirements for a given phase within 60 days of starting that phase. If you do not complete a phase within the 60-day window, your account will be deactivated, regardless of your progress or profit level at that point. You will need to purchase a new Futures plan to continue. The timer begins on the day you place your first trade and continues uninterrupted. There are no extensions or pauses. Please plan your trading accordingly to stay on track throughout all four phases.

Question 10

Is there a breach for inactivity in Phases 1-4?

Accepted Answer

For Phases 1-4, you must place an executed trade once every 14 days to retain the account.

Question 11

Can I pause the inactivity timer at any account Phase?

Accepted Answer

No, unfortunately we cannot pause the inactivity timer at any account phase.

Question 12

Am I subject to any position limits?

Accepted Answer

The total number of contracts you can hold at one time is limited by both your account size and the exchange margin requirements for each product. Your account balance must be sufficient to cover the required margin for all open positions.

Question 13

What happens if I do not close the trade?

Accepted Answer

Positions will be closed for you during regular trading days at 1510 CST. Trades cannot be held over weekends.

Question 14

Can I use an Automated Strategy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can trade using an automated strategy.

Question 16

Can I trade during News Events?
