Consistency Rule (40%)

• Profits from a single trading day must not exceed 40% of the profit target during the challenge.

Minimum Trading Days

• Traders must complete at least 3 trading days during the evaluation stage.

Inactivity Rules

• During the evaluation phase, traders must place at least 1 trade per week to remain active.

• During evaluation: missing a week deactivates your account. In your Simfunded account: missing a week pauses it — you remain eligible for profits and payouts but need to reactivate.

DCA/Martingale Rule

• You can average into a position up to 5 executions maximum on the same symbol. Martingale-style sizing — where you increase position size specifically to recover losses — is prohibited.

Hedging

• Hedging is not permitted.
• This includes hedging the same instrument across multiple accounts, such as being long NQ in one account and short NQ in another; hedging through correlated instruments, such as being long NQ and short ES; and coordinating with another trader or group of traders to create offsetting positions across separate accounts.
• This rule applies whether the accounts belong to the same trader or to different traders acting together.

Once traders pass the evaluation and reach the funded stage, they need to grow the account by 1% (e.g., $101k for a $100k account).

Legacy NYC-hours accounts use a fixed buffer instead: $1,000 on 200K and $2,000 on 300K.

At this point, trading will be paused, and traders will be moved to a live brokerage partnered with the firm: Interactive Brokers or NinjaTrader.

Traders are eligible for payouts above the 1% buffer zone, paused at $100,000 cumulative for scaling review.

For example, in the $100k account, once you pass the evaluation and reach the sim funded stage you need to make a 1k buffer.

• After making the buffer, firm will pause your trading and send you a contract and KYC via email before we move you to a live brokerage account with one of their brokers: Interactive Brokers or Ninja Trader. You keep trading on the same platforms you used in the evaluation.
• Your live account balance starts at $101,000 and drawdown locked at $100k.
• You are then eligible for payouts above the 1k buffer zone ($101,000)
• For example: When your account is equal to $101,200, you can withdraw the $200.
• There are no payout caps, you can withdraw as little as $200, or $50k all at once.
• Minimum payout is $200 before split
• Traders receive an 80% or 55% split of their profits.
• TradersLaunch currently process payouts in the discord ticket.
• They process daily payouts using Crypto. (USDT on sol network). The payout is usually processed 1-5 minutes from request. ACH bank transfers are also processed every 24 hours. Wire transfers are processed once a week.
