CME session open

Your floor rises with you.

A one-off evaluation from $30. Your max loss rises with your peak and freezes at your starting balance. No daily limit.

Your floor, in view

Pick your account and move your equity peak. The floor follows it at the distance of your Max Loss and stops at your starting balance.

  • No daily limit.

    No cap on what you lose in a day: your loss only meets the floor.

  • A small cushion.

    On real capital, from Phase 2, before your first withdrawal you build $500 of profit, on the $100,000 account too: what goes past it can be withdrawn.

  • One hard rule.

    The trailing Max Loss: it rises with your peak, never goes down and freezes at your starting balance.

Three programs, one floor

The same risk rules in all three. The price, the reset, how you pass and what happens if you lose real capital change.

From evaluation to real capital

One phase in simulation and two on the firm's capital. The floor follows you through all three.

  1. Evaluation

    Simulated. Passable in 1 day on Standard and Pro; 4 weeks on Monthly.

    Hit the profit target without touching the floor. On Monthly, close the 4 weeks at or above your monthly target, trading 3 days each week.

  2. Observation

    Real capital. 30 days, no profit target.

    We watch how you trade, with contracts you unlock with your profit, and you can already withdraw. All three programs go through it.

  3. Funded

    Real capital. Every contract.

    You keep your balance and unlock every contract. You withdraw what goes past the cushion: your first withdrawal, 100% yours.

Common questions

More answers in Support
Detail of the 1886 engraving: the Chicago Board of Trade's pit, crowded with traders, among the marble columns of the great hall.
How long until I'm funded?
On Standard and Pro you can pass the evaluation in a single day; on Monthly it lasts 4 weeks. Once passed, you enter Phase 2: 30 days on real capital in which you can already withdraw. Then the funded account, with every contract.
What if I fail the evaluation?
Reset it while you are still in Phase 1, as many times as you like: $30 on Standard, $30 on Monthly and $1 on Pro.
Is there a daily loss limit?
No. The only hard rule is the trailing Max Loss: $1,000 on the 25K account, $2,000 on the 50K, $3,000 on the 100K and $4,500 on the 150K. It rises with your peak equity and freezes once it reaches your starting balance.
What counts as a day?
A CME session: it opens at 5:00 PM CT and you trade until 3:15 PM CT the next day. At that time every position is closed: none carries over from one session to the next.
Monthly, Standard or Pro?
The risk rules are the same. Monthly, from $30: 4 weeks trading 3 days each week, and you pass if you close the month at or above your target ($1,000 on the 50K account), with no consistency rule. Standard, from $99: you pass by reaching the profit target, even in one day. All three then go through Phase 2. Pro is paid once in a lifetime: losing real capital sends you back to Phase 2 at no cost.
What if I lose real capital?
It depends on the program. On Pro you start a fresh Phase 2 of 30 days at no cost and, once through, return to the funded account. On Standard and Monthly the account closes, in Phase 2 or 3: to trade again you buy another evaluation.
When can I withdraw profits?
From Phase 2, the first on real capital, once you have built a $500 profit cushion, the same on every size. From there you withdraw the excess: your first withdrawal is 100% yours and the next ones are split 90/10 in your favor.
Do I trade real money?
Phase 1 is simulated, with real market prices. Phases 2 and 3 trade the firm's real capital. Your own money never goes into the market: you pay for the evaluation and, if you pass, the firm takes the risk.
Which markets do I trade?
CME micro futures: MES (S&P 500), MNQ (Nasdaq-100) and MGC (gold), in the BaalTrade terminal with real prices.
