THE DOSSIER — ACCOUNT DEEP-DIVE
Shark Funded $10K Strike 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.
Trailing Max Squeeze After Green Runs
With no daily loss to warn you, the trailing maximum is the only tripwire. Early profits ratchet the floor up — then a normal pullback from the new high tags it.
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
Challenge: 10% of the 8% target profit is paid on passing. Funded: request every 24h, each under 3% of account size, keep complying with drawdown rules, avoid unnecessary trading after requesting.
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 10,000 account's exact dollar numbers.
No Daily Loss Limit
There is no intraday tripwire on this account — no early warning before the end. Only the lifetime maximum protects you, which also means nothing stops a single catastrophic session except your own sizing.
Maximum Loss: 3% (floor starts at $9,700)
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: 8% ($800)
Bank $800 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: Every 24 hours (funded) · 80% split
Challenge: 10% of the 8% target profit is paid on passing. Funded: request every 24h, each under 3% of account size, keep complying with drawdown rules, avoid unnecessary trading after requesting.. Your share of every approved withdrawal is 80%, up to 80% with the scale-up/add-on.
News Trading: Restricted
Challenge: news trading IS allowed. Funded: 10-min blackout each side (20-min window, all order types); 5-hour-old swings exempt.
Flat Before Close — No Overnight, No Weekend
Every position must be closed before the market close. Being in a trade past the close is itself a rule violation — independent of profit or loss. Swing strategies built for CFD holding will breach here by habit, not by P&L.
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.
Consistency Rule Active
None stated for Strike.
Markets, Leverage & Platforms
Trade Unknown. Leverage: Unknown — verify before purchase. Platforms: To be verified.
