A trader must have at least 5 trading days, and during the Test phase, no single day can account for more than 50% of the total profits. There's no consistency rule on Pro and Pro+ accounts.

Leverage is set as a max contract cap by account size. In the standard program, limits range from 3 contracts (30 micros) on $25K up to 15 contracts (150 micros) on $150K. See the Leverage table for the exact limit.

Expert Advisors are not allowed. Copy trading is allowed. To compare EA and copy-trading rules across futures prop firms, see our Prop Firm Rules page.

In the Test and Pro+ stages, the max loss is end-of-day (EOD) trailing. In the Pro stage, it switches to intraday trailing. After you pass the Test, you can reset the Pro account up to three times.
