How it works
Buy the evaluation once. Clear the target. Trade firm capital.
Three steps, and the numbers behind each of them are published rather than discovered mid-account. This page states them; the rules page carries every objective in full.

What you pay, and when
The evaluation is one charge, from $119, and nothing bills again. The only second payment is the funded activation fee ($69 to $149 depending on account size), taken upfront on the day you turn the funded account on. It is not refunded and it is not netted out of a payout.
What passing takes
Strix: 12 percent of account size. Express: 8 percent of account size. The trailing drawdown you have to stay inside while you do it: Strix: 6 percent of account size. Express: 4 percent of account size. Express accounts bought before 27 September 2026 at 6:10 PM ET (22:10 UTC) keep the 3 percent trailing drawdown they were sold ($300 on a $10K account, $750 on a $25K, $1,500 on a $50K and $3,000 on a $100K), in the evaluation and once funded. Your account's own page shows the drawdown it carries. No clock runs against you. There is no deadline to pass and no minimum number of trading days, and nothing limits how much of the target one session provides. Evaluations bought before 11 September 2026 at 5:35 PM ET (21:35 UTC) keep what they were sold: on a Strix Plan account from that period a single day still cannot exceed 30% of the evaluation's profit, and Express accounts never carried that cap. The rules page states both side by side.
What changes once you are funded
Funded profit splits 80 percent your way. Before you can request, the cycle you are requesting from has to hold 8 qualifying winning days: trading days closing with realized profit at or above your plan's floor ($200 on a $100K account, $150 on a $50K, $100 on a $25K or $10K). They can land in any order, and a losing day, a flat day or a day you never open the platform leaves the tally where it was. The tally empties only when the cycle closes, and a payout closes the cycle whether it is paid or rejected; the next one starts at zero. Nothing caps a single day's share of a cycle. Withdrawals run on a request cycle with a minimum, a per-payout cap that scales as you get paid, and a balance rule tying each request to your last one. Accounts bought before 11 September 2026 at 5:35 PM ET (21:35 UTC) are not held to that count and have no per-day floor; they keep the daily-share rule they were sold, and because one winning day is 100% of its own cycle, a cycle cannot meet that share until it holds at least 4 winning days on a Strix Plan account and 2 on an Express Plan account. The exact figures for your plan are on the rules page.
