Trading Rules
Profit Split Up to 90% to the trader Up to 100% (Ruby and Flex Funded simulated accounts); 85% (Express to Live live account) Best
Daily Drawdown Varies by plan: EOD trailing/static drawdown ($2,000-$5,000) on Launch/Propel evals; $1,000-$2,000/day hard cap on Instant Funding & Direct to Funded 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 Daily
Payouts available every trading day (M-F) once above buffer; requests before 11AM ET process same day, after 11AM ET process next business day
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
  • Up to 90% profit split, daily payouts from $250 with no minimum trading days, one-day Sim Funded stage before Live Brokerage, news trading allowed, up to 3 funded accounts per trader
  • 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
  • Evaluation plans auto-renew as a 30-day recurring subscription until passed or cancelled; reset fees apply per failed attempt; $5,000/day and $10,000/week profit caps trigger a mandatory Risk Review
  • 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.
