Preflight Rule-Risk Score

n/a until every input is checked. 4 of 6 scored · 2 unknown. Method

  1. Drawdown mechanics n/a

    n/a. Maximum loss is 10% / $10,000. The opened programme page does not say static, end-of-day trailing, or intraday trailing.

  2. Starting loss cushion 0 / 20

    Published maximum loss is 10% of USD 100,000, so the starting allowance is $10,000. Scored 0. This does not decide whether the floor later trails.

  3. Daily limit 5 / 15

    5% daily loss, $5,000 initial example. The higher-of computation and the reset are n/a. Scored 5 on the published width. Not described as a soft pause.

  4. News execution 15 / 15

    Holding through high-impact news is allowed. Executing within 2 minutes before or after is not. Scored 15.

  5. Profit distribution n/a

    n/a. The opened pages do not explicitly say a consistency cap is absent.

  6. Payout gates 5 / 10

    Bi-weekly Pro payout, $4,000 cap and $500 minimum P&L at USD 100,000, plus a $150 post-split minimum. Scored 5. The base 80% split is not a retention buffer.

Notes, changes, open questions

Loss floor

A 10% maximum loss on USD 100,000 is $10,000. The checked programme page gives the percentage. It does not say whether the floor is static or trailing, so the floor type is n/a.

Daily reset

Daily loss is published as 5%, with a $5,000 initial example on USD 100,000. The higher-of-balance-or-equity computation and the reset clock are n/a.

News

You can hold a position through high-impact news. You cannot execute within 2 minutes before or after.

Do not read that as news trading being freely allowed.

Rules

Programme
High Stakes, USD 100,000.
Maximum loss
10% / $10,000. Static or trailing: n/a.
Daily loss
5% / $5,000 initial example. Exact computation: n/a.
Activity
Three profitable days, each at least 0.5% of initial. A day with only an order does not qualify. Thirty-day inactivity expires the account.
Consistency
n/a. Explicit absence was not on the opened pages.
Payout at 100K
Bi-weekly in the Pro stage. Base 80%. Cap $4,000. Minimum P&L $500.
Cash movement
Post-split withdrawal minimum $150. Crypto transactions maximum $1,500.

Watch-outs

  • The $4,000 cap and the $500 minimum P&L decide whether a bi-weekly request on a $100,000 account is even available. An unrestricted 14-day payout story does not match the 3 November 2026 policy.
  • The profitable-day rule is a result rule. Three days that merely contain an order are not enough. Each day needs at least 0.5% of the initial balance.
  • A refund scheme adds 10% and 20% hub credits at phase 1 and phase 2, and 70% of the fee to funded equity, with conditions. That is not cash in hand.
  • The Forbidden Territory list does not claim to be complete. 'Not on the list' is not the same as a confirmed acceptance.

Changes

Check note Current payout policy checked. The payout FAQ was last updated 3 November 2026. The caps on this page are that text. No previous version was read, so this is a current-policy check, not a before-and-after change.

Still open

  • Whether the 10% maximum loss is static.
  • The exact daily-loss computation and reset.
  • Consistency. Absence was not explicit.
