Pros & Cons
Main Benefits
  • 3 live account types (Zero/Premium/Advanced), Maximum Loss Limit is EOD trailing and stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance (never resets to $0 on withdrawal), 90% flat profit split from day one on all plans, on-demand payouts up to 4x/month after 5 winning days of $200+, industry-large withdrawal caps (up to $15,000/request on Advanced), Zero plan has $0 activation fee permanently and no consistency rule on evaluation (can pass in 1 day)
  • 6 plan types (1 Step, Direct to Funded, Static, Diamond Hands, End of Day, Fast Track); accounts from $10K to $250K; up to 100% profit split; same-day payout approval; no daily loss limit on 1 Step, Static, Fast Track, and DTF plans.
Main Drawbacks
  • Zero plan carries a 2% Daily Loss Guard on evaluation and a 40% consistency rule on the Qualified stage; Premium/Advanced Qualified accounts require a $149 one-time activation fee (Premium traders can instead pay a higher monthly evaluation rate to waive it); reset fees required to retry a failed evaluation; legacy Standard plan (tiered 70/80/90% split) was retired May 1, 2026 and is no longer for sale
  • Most plans auto-renew every 30 days (1 Step, Static, EOD, DH); one-time activation fees up to $307; only Fast Track and DTF are one-time payments.
