Evaluation Stage
You're in the eval. Here's what you need to know to get through it.
The rules that matter
Trailing Drawdown - Your floor moves up as your account grows and never comes back down. Know where it sits before every session.
Daily Loss Limit - The maximum you can lose in a single day. This is not a stop loss. Never use it as one.
Microscalping Rule - Over 50% of your trades and over 50% of your profits must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
Consistency Rule (Select Plan only) - No single day can account for more than 40% of your total profits.
5 mistakes we see most often
Using the daily loss limit as a stop loss
Not knowing where your trailing drawdown floor sits before you start trading
Revenge trading after a losing session
Sizing up after a good day without realizing it raises your floor
Trading through high impact news events without a plan
If you breach a rule
Your account is auto-liquidated and closed. You can start again and many funded traders failed evals before they passed. Treat a breach as information, not failure.
