Pros & Cons
Main Benefits	80% profit split with a 4th-withdrawal performance-fee bonus.

Cross-account hedging and group trading with identical EAs are prohibited. On-demand payouts require passing the 40% Best Day consistency rule plus a minimum 2% gross profit.	40-second minimum trade duration rule (scalping prohibited), no EAs/bots/scripts allowed, 2% max risk per trade across evaluation and funded stages, news trading prohibited within +/- 3 minutes of high-impact events, weekend holding only via paid add-on, funded account auto-suspended if equity returns to initial balance after equity lock, 30-day funded inactivity breach
