Preflight Rule-Risk Score
n/a until every input is checked. 4 of 6 scored · 2 unknown. Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- News execution 15 / 15
Holding through high-impact news is allowed. Executing within 2 minutes before or after is not. Scored 15.
- Profit distribution n/a
n/a. The opened pages do not explicitly say a consistency cap is absent.
- 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.
