Trading Rules
Profit Split 90% flat, no tiered system (Zero/Premium/Advanced) Up to 100% (Ruby and Flex Funded simulated accounts); 85% (Express to Live live account) Best
Daily Drawdown None (Premium/Advanced), 2% soft Daily Loss Guard (Zero only - locks account until next trading day 6PM ET, does not close account) No forced daily loss limit on any Sapphire, Flex, Gold or Platinum account - traders may optionally set their own from the dashboard. Express to Live accounts carry a daily loss limit of $400, $600, $800 or $1,200 by drawdown size. Drawdown itself is end-of-day trailing on Sapphire and Flex, and a static floor on the Gold and Platinum-X tracks.
Payout Frequency Up to 4 times a month
Eligible for a withdrawal request after every 5 winning trading days of $200+ profit (non-consecutive allowed); processed within 48 business hours
On request, any week (simulated funded); daily on the Express to Live live account
Payout requests are approved in under 24 hours, and ONYX adds $300 to the payout if approval is ever late. Flex Funded requires five winning trading days since the last payout, each with realized profit of at least 10% of the drawdown. Ruby requires the published first-payout buffer for its size.

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)
  • One-time fee with no monthly subscription or recurring billing. No forced daily loss limit on any account. End-of-day trailing drawdown rather than intraday, so an intraday dip that recovers by the close does not fail the account, plus a static-floor track for traders who prefer a fixed limit. Payout requests approved in under 24 hours, with $300 added to the payout if approval is ever late. Up to 100% profit split on the simulated funded tracks. No minimum hold time and microscalping is allowed. Up to five funded accounts tradable at once, with no limit on concurrent evaluations. The Express to Live track routes a passing trader to a real live brokerage account with an 85% split, daily uncapped payouts and a $0 activation fee.
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
  • No overnight or weekend holding is permitted on any account. Automated and algorithmic trading is prohibited. Positions must be flat at least two minutes before scheduled tier-1 economic releases. Trading is restricted to CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT futures - stocks, options, forex, crypto and CFDs are not permitted. All evaluation fees are non-refundable once credentials are issued and are not refunded on the first payout. Ruby funded accounts carry a 40% consistency rule at every payout and a first-payout balance buffer. The firm is young - its TrustPilot profile was claimed in April 2026 and carries only 19 reviews - and the linked public rule book at /rules returns a 404, so the full rule set is only available in summary form inside the Terms of Use.
