Overview
This article answers the most common questions traders have about the Zero Plan. It is intended to clarify how the plan works in real trading scenarios, reduce confusion around rules and payouts, and set clear expectations before and after funding.
If a question is not covered here, traders should always refer to the official Zero Plan articles for enforceable rules.
Evaluation Phase – Common Questions
Can I pass the Zero Plan in one day?
Yes. The Zero Plan evaluation has no minimum trading day requirement. You may pass as soon as the 2% profit target is reached, provided all evaluation rules are respected and the account closes the day above the trailing drawdown.
What is the profit target for the Zero Plan evaluation?
The evaluation profit target is 2% of the starting account balance:
$25,000 account → $500
$50,000 account → $1,000
$100,000 account → $2,000
$150,000 account → $3,000
The target is fixed and does not change.
Is there a consistency rule during evaluation?
No.
There is no consistency rule during the Zero Plan evaluation phase.
You may:
Have large winning days
Generate all evaluation profits in a single day
Pass as soon as the 2% target is reached
Consistency rules apply only after the account becomes funded.
Is there a Daily Loss Limit during evaluation?
No.
There is no Daily Loss Limit during evaluation. Risk is controlled exclusively through:
End-of-Day trailing drawdown
Strict position-size limits
How is the trailing drawdown calculated?
The Zero Plan uses an End-of-Day trailing drawdown. The drawdown:
Updates only after the trading session closes at 5:00 PM EST
Trails upward as new end-of-day equity highs are reached
Never moves downward
If the account closes the day below the trailing drawdown level, the evaluation fails.
Can I reset a failed evaluation?
No.
Evaluation accounts cannot be reset. If an evaluation fails, a new Zero Plan evaluation must be purchased.
After Passing – Activation Questions
What happens after I pass the evaluation?
After passing:
Your account is marked as Passed
You are eligible to pay the activation fee
A Simulated Funded Account is issued
Funded-phase rules immediately apply
Passing the evaluation does not grant payout eligibility by itself.
Do I have to activate after passing?
No.
Activation is optional. If you choose not to activate, no additional fees are charged, but you will not receive a funded account or be eligible for payouts.
Funded Phase – Common Questions
What profit split do funded Zero Plan accounts receive?
Funded Zero Plan accounts operate under a 90% profit split.
Is there a Daily Loss Limit once funded?
Yes.
A Daily Loss Limit applies only in the funded phase and resets each trading day. The limit depends on account size:
$25K → $500
$50K → $1,250
$100K → $2,500
$150K → $3,750
If the limit is reached, trading is restricted for the remainder of the day and resumes the next session.
Is there a consistency rule once funded?
Yes.
A 20% consistency rule applies only to funded accounts and is used solely for payout calculations.
The rule:
Does not limit how much profit you can make
Does not restrict account growth
Limits how much of a payout can come from a single trading day
Excess profit remains in the account and may be used for future payouts.
How many trading days are required before requesting a payout?
Funded Zero Plan accounts must complete 10 trading days between payout requests.
A trading day counts when at least one trade is placed between 6:00 PM EST and 5:00 PM EST the following day.
What happens if my payout is denied?
A denied payout does not close your account.
If a payout is denied:
You may continue trading
You may regenerate compliant profits
You may submit a new payout request once conditions are met
Can I reset a funded Zero Plan account?
Yes.
Zero Plan funded accounts can be reset for a fee. A funded reset:
Restores the account to its original starting balance
Resets drawdown parameters
Clears accumulated profits
Reset fees depend on account size and apply only in the funded phase.
Trading Behavior & Compliance
What causes an account to fail?
An account may fail if:
The trailing drawdown is breached at end of day
Position-size limits are exceeded
Prohibited trading behavior occurs
Are large winning days allowed?
Yes.
Large winning days are allowed in both evaluation and funded phases. Restrictions apply only when calculating payouts on funded accounts.
Can I trade multiple Zero Plan accounts?
Yes.
Multiple accounts are allowed, provided each account follows its rules independently.
