Overview
This article outlines all risk rules, enforcement parameters, and consistency requirements for the Prime Funded Plan. Prime Funded accounts are issued instantly and operate as funded accounts from the moment they are created. There is no evaluation phase, no passing criteria, and no transition step. All rules described in this article apply immediately upon account issuance. Traders are responsible for understanding and complying with these rules at all times.
Account Structure
The Prime Funded Plan operates under a single phase:
Phase | Description |
Funded Phase | Instant funded account with payout eligibility rules |
There are no evaluation rules, no profit targets to pass, and no activation steps after purchase.
End-of-Day Trailing Drawdown
All Prime Funded accounts use an End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown model. The drawdown is calculated only after the trading session closes and does not update intraday.
Account Size | Trailing Drawdown |
$25,000 | $1,000 |
$50,000 | $2,000 |
$100,000 | $4,000 |
$150,000 | $6,000 |
How the Trailing Drawdown Works
The drawdown is evaluated after the trading session closes at 5:00 PM EST
The drawdown trails upward as new end-of-day equity highs are reached
The drawdown never moves downward
The account is breached only if it closes the day below the drawdown level
Intraday equity fluctuations are permitted, provided the account remains above the drawdown at session close.
Daily Loss Limit (Funded Phase)
A Daily Loss Limit (DLL) applies to all Prime Funded accounts and resets at the start of each new trading session. This limit controls the maximum allowable loss per trading day.
Account Size | Daily Loss Limit |
$25,000 | $500 |
$50,000 | $1,250 |
$100,000 | $2,500 |
$150,000 | $3,750 |
If the Daily Loss Limit is reached:
Trading is restricted for the remainder of the trading day
The account remains active
Trading may resume the next trading session
The Daily Loss Limit is enforced in addition to the trailing drawdown. Breaching either rule may result in account failure.
Position Size Limits
Maximum position size limits are enforced at all times. Traders must not exceed these limits under any circumstances, including brief exposure or partial fills.
Account Size | Max Position Size |
$25,000 | 2 Minis / 20 Micros |
$50,000 | 4 Minis / 40 Micros |
$100,000 | 6 Minis / 60 Micros |
$150,000 | 10 Minis / 100 Micros |
Exceeding position size limits is considered a rule violation and may result in immediate account restriction or termination.
20% Consistency Rule (Funded Accounts)
The 20% consistency rule applies immediately to Prime Funded accounts because they are funded from day one. This rule is used solely for payout calculations and does not limit account growth or profitability.
How the Consistency Rule Works
When requesting a payout:
No single trading day may contribute more than 20% of the total profits included in that payout request
Excess profit above the 20% threshold is excluded from the payout calculation
Excluded profit remains in the account
The account is not breached or penalized
This rule does not cap profits and does not restrict how much money a trader may make.
Enforced Trading Behavior
All Prime Funded accounts are subject to compliance monitoring. The following behaviors may result in profit adjustments, payout denial, or account termination:
Intentional microscalping or system abuse
Circumventing risk limits
Exceeding position size limits
Manipulating payout conditions
Compliance reviews are conducted prior to payout approval.
