THE DOSSIER — ACCOUNT DEEP-DIVE
Funded Trading Plus $100,000 1-Step Express Account Rules
Exact dollar thresholds, breach math, and verified sources for this tier.
All-In Cost to First Payout
Sticker price vs real cost — All-In Quantitative Fee Model
If you pass first try
Assumes pass on first attempt. Add 1–2 resets for realistic avg (FPFX: only 7% get payout).
Realistic (1 reset avg)
Non-refundable — every reset is sunk cost
Assumes 1 reset(s). Data fees vary by platform. FPFX base rate: ~7% ever get payout — budget for resets.
Methodology: challenge + resets + activation + data + add-ons − documented refund. Futures add $38/mo data + $149 activation where applicable. We never hide reset cost behind “bonus” language.
RISK ANALYSIS
How Can I Fail This Account?
Before spending capital on this evaluation, these are the exact mathematical and operational tripwires that disqualify traders on this specific model.
Daily Loss at 00:00 Rollover
Daily loss is calculated against your day-starting balance/equity. Holding floating drawdown into the 00:00 server reset can breach on spread widening alone.
30-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
30 consecutive days without a trade = automatic lock and revoked credentials. Many pass the evaluation and pause before the next step, losing all progress.
Withdrawal Gates Bite After Passing
FT+ Trader phase: standard review 2 business days, risk review 5-7; 80% split → 90% at 20% profit on Trader; withdrawals do not lower high watermark
Banned Patterns Pass Silently, Fail at Payout
Grid, martingale, all-in sizing, copied signals, and cross-account hedging often trigger no dashboard warning during evaluation — the review lands when you request real money.
COMPLETE RULEBOOK
Every Rule on This Account
Daily drawdown, max drawdown, targets, trading days, payouts, news, holding, automation, inactivity — each rule translated to this 100,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
Daily Loss Limit: 4% ($4,000/day)
Your daily allowance is fixed off the starting balance and counts open + closed P&L. It resets at 0:00 server time. Intraday profits temporarily widen the buffer, but the base never changes — lose the full allowance in 24 hours and the account is terminated on the spot.
Maximum Loss: 6% (floor starts at $94,000)
Trailing: the floor rises with every new peak, never slides back down, and locks at $100,000 once profits cover the full allowance. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
Profit Target: 10% ($10,000)
Bank $10,000 from the starting balance to pass. Measured on closed-trade profit — floating P&L does not count until you close.
No Minimum Trading Days
Hit the target in a single session and you pass — no forced grinding. Discipline still applies: every other rule (drawdown, consistency where active, strategy bans) is fully enforced on that one day.
Payouts: On demand when criteria met (flat, no open positions, dashboard green button) · 80% split
FT+ Trader phase: standard review 2 business days, risk review 5-7; 80% split → 90% at 20% profit on Trader; withdrawals do not lower high watermark. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 80%, up to 90% with the scale-up/add-on.
News Trading: Allowed
Overnight/weekend allowed implies news allowed; no 5-min window listed for Express — verify Risk Policies.
Weekend + Overnight Holding: Allowed
Positions may stay open overnight and over the weekend at every stage. Swap charges still apply — and swap counts against your daily and maximum loss limits, with triple-swap days on some instruments.
Expert Advisors / Bots: Allowed
Automation is permitted — but verify whether your firm requires a paid add-on, platform restriction (MT4/MT5 only at some firms), or bot registration before the first automated trade. Unauthorized automation is a standalone violation.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading between your own accounts is permitted — third-party signals and for-hire management stay banned. Hedging inside this single account is fine; mirrored positions across accounts or external brokers are banned.
Inactivity: 30 Days
Place at least one trade every 30 consecutive days or the account is automatically deactivated — no warning email, no extension. This kills more passed evaluations than any market move: traders pass, take a break, and return to revoked credentials.
Consistency Rule Active
None in 1-Step Express — consistency only on 2-Step Classic
