Direct accounts

Direct accounts skip the evaluation: you trade a funded simulated account from day one with an end-of-day trailing Max Loss Limit and a soft Daily Loss Limit from 50K. The 20% consistency rule and a profit goal per cycle gate each payout. Caps rise from the fourth payout.

How do Direct payouts work?

Each cycle has a profit goal and a cap. The largest day may not exceed 20% of the cycle profit, which is the most common reason a Direct payout is declined. Caps rise from the fourth payout. Five payouts lead to the Live review.

Who is the Direct account for?

For traders who want to skip the evaluation: you are funded from your first trade, with nothing to pass and nothing to reset. Consistency is the proof of skill in exchange, and the largest day may not exceed 20% of the cycle profit — the strictest consistency rule we run.

Which size should you choose?

What are the Direct parameters per size?

The size sets the profit target, the Max Loss Limit and the maximum position. Larger sizes cost more, allow more contracts and lift the first payout cap. Pick the size whose Max Loss Limit you can respect on a bad week.

FAQ

Questions about Direct accounts

Is there an evaluation on a Direct account?

No. Direct is funded from the first trade, at $700 for a 100K. The Max Loss Limit is $3,500 on a 100K, wider than the other types on the two large sizes, and there is no reset because there is no evaluation to fail.

Why is the Direct consistency rule 20%?

Because there is no evaluation, consistency is the proof of skill before the first payout: the largest day may not exceed 20% of the cycle profit, which is at least five comparable profitable days. It is the most common reason a Direct payout is declined.

What are the Direct payout goals and caps?

The first cycle goal is $6,000 on a 100K, then $3,500 per cycle. Payouts 1 to 3 are capped at $2,500, payouts 4 and 5 at $3,000. After five payouts the account enters the Live review.
