Shark Funded $100K Lite 1-Step 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.
14-Day Inactivity Forfeiture
14 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
Minimum 7 trading days and account above starting balance; payout must fit inside the daily-drawdown equity cushion
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: 3% ($3,000/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)
Static: the floor is set once from your starting balance and never moves — profits never drag it up behind you. Across the whole lifetime of the account, equity can never print below the current floor.
Profit Target: 9% ($9,000)
Bank $9,000 from the starting balance to pass. Measured on closed-trade profit — floating P&L does not count until you close.
Minimum Trading Days: 7
You must trade on at least 7 separate days before the phase counts as passed — even if you hit the profit target on day one. A trading day counts when you place at least one trade that closes with non-zero P&L.
Payouts: Weekly · 80% split
Minimum 7 trading days and account above starting balance; payout must fit inside the daily-drawdown equity cushion. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 80%.
News Trading: Restricted
Restriction window documented for this model; funded news blackout is 10 min each side. Confirm challenge-stage scope with support.
Holding: Weekend Allowed · Overnight Closed
Restriction window documented for this model; funded news blackout is 10 min each side. Confirm challenge-stage scope with support.
Expert Advisors / Bots: Not Allowed
Manual trading only. Any EA, bot, or automation layer is prohibited on this account.
Copy Trading & Hedging Boundaries
Copy trading involving a funded account (either direction), third-party signals, and for-hire account management are prohibited. Cross-account and correlated-instrument hedging are banned.
Inactivity: 14 Days
Place at least one trade every 14 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.
Markets, Leverage & Platforms
Trade Unknown. Leverage: Unknown — verify before purchase. Platforms: To be verified.
