Is there a time limit on the evaluation?

No. The evaluation never expires while it is being traded. The only calendar rule is inactivity: an account with no trades for 30 consecutive calendar days is closed as abandoned, and any trade resets that counter.

What happens if the profit target is hit before the minimum trading days?

A stage pass isn't granted until the minimum qualifying days are completed: five on Stage 1, three on Stage 2. The profit target must still be met when the final qualifying day closes. Hitting it earlier isn't enough if the gain is given back before then.

Does the maximum daily loss reset when a day closes?

Yes. The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 UTC every day. The maximum daily loss allowance is measured against the account equity at that rollover, so a profitable day raises the floor for the next.

What other fees apply besides the evaluation fee?

The evaluation fee is the only required payment. There are no upgrade fees or platform fees. Each withdrawal carries a fixed $1 fee, regardless of the amount.

Can leverage exceed the cap on assets that allow it on the exchange?

No. The cap is enforced regardless of exchange settings. If an open position exceeds the cap, the account fails.

Max daily loss is measured against the equity at 00:00 UTC. Peak loss is measured against the all-time peak equity. Once equity grows, the floor moves up with it and never moves back down. There is no time limit. Only evaluations with no trades for 30 consecutive calendar days are closed as inactive.

Rules in detail

Simple terms: each with a clear description and the reason it exists

Profit target
Stage 1 passes when account equity grows 10% above the starting balance. Stage 2 then asks for 5%. The evaluation has no daily profit requirement; sitting flat on any given day costs nothing. Once the minimum trading days are complete and the target is hit on Stage 1, the account moves to Stage 2 automatically.
Why this matters
A single big run in Stage 1 doesn't prove a strategy. Stage 2 is the test: clearing another 5% across a different stretch of market is much harder when half of Stage 1 was noise. The smaller second target is not a discount. Stage 1 already proved earning capacity, and Stage 2 only needs to confirm it repeats. And dropping the daily-profit floor lets swing and event-driven traders work the way they actually trade, instead of churning to look active.
Maximum daily loss
At any point inside a UTC trading day, account equity may not fall more than 5% below the balance recorded at 00:00 UTC. Touching the threshold fails the account immediately. At the next 00:00 UTC the limit recalculates against the new starting balance, whether the previous day closed in profit, flat, or at a loss.
Why this matters
A 5% intraday daily loss limit stops a single bad session from turning into a deep drawdown. The limit counts floating PnL on open positions, not just realized losses, so a losing trade can't be held through the UTC rollover to escape the day's cap.
Peak loss
Account equity may not fall more than 10% below its all-time peak. As the account grows, the floor moves up with the peak. Once raised, it never moves back down. Touching the threshold fails the account immediately.
Why this matters
Peak loss locks in profit as the account grows. Each new equity high raises the failure floor, so the 10% cushion is measured against the larger balance from then on. Giving back accumulated profit is the most avoidable way to fail an account. A strategy that already worked shouldn't be allowed to undo itself.
Minimum trading days
Stage 1 requires at least five qualifying days before passing; Stage 2 requires three. A day qualifies when the trader opens and closes a position with notional value of at least 25% of the day's starting equity. The days do not need to be consecutive, and there is no requirement to trade in between.
Why this matters
One winning trade isn't a strategy, and one winning day isn't either. Requiring separate days of position-taking is what makes an evaluation a sample rather than a single shot. Stage 2 needs fewer days because Stage 1 already established the sample; three more days confirm it repeats. The notional threshold prevents the obvious workaround: opening a tiny position for a minute to tick the box without taking real risk.
No time limit
The evaluation has no deadline. It stays active for as long as the trader keeps trading. Take a week per setup or a quarter per stage; the account does not expire. The only calendar rule is inactivity: an evaluation with no trades for 30 consecutive calendar days is closed as abandoned, and any trade resets that counter. When Stage 1 is passed, Stage 2 starts automatically.
Why this matters
Deadlines manufacture pressure that has nothing to do with trading skill: they push traders into forcing setups just to beat the clock. Removing the window lets the strategy set the pace, so the evaluation measures decision quality instead of decision speed. The inactivity rule only clears out accounts that were genuinely walked away from.
Consistency rule
No single trade and no single trading day represents more than 30% of total stage profit. If a share is over the cap, the pass is denied for now; the evaluation stays Active. Keep trading and the share dilutes with every new closed trade. The stage closes automatically the moment all shares drop to 30% or below. When stage profit is zero or negative, the rule does not apply.
Why this matters
Stage pass that traces back to one outsized winner says less about strategy than luck. The 30% cap exists to keep the result repeatable. Recoverable failure matters: a trader at the profit target with a concentrated run is still a trader who can finish properly. A few more measured trades dilute the share until the gate clears. The rule polices structure, not punishment.
Max leverage
The maximum leverage is 5× for each evaluation track. Per-asset leverage settings on the exchange do not override this rule. The risk engine evaluates orders against its own cap before they reach the exchange, and exceeding the cap on an open position fails the account.
Why this matters
High leverage amplifies losses as much as gains. At high leverage a normal market tick can end the evaluation. At 5× trader still has room to react. The cap exists so the evaluation measures the strategy, not the size of the bet behind it.
Restricted practices
Identical or hedged positions across multiple accounts are not allowed. Account sharing is not allowed either. The same applies to exploiting platform glitches, data-feed errors, latency arbitrage, or any other weakness in the infrastructure. A pass earned through any of these, or through any other fraudulent activity, is invalid even if every numeric rule is met. Flagged accounts are reviewed individually.
Why this matters
The evaluation is meant to identify traders who can grow real capital on their own, not those who abuse or coordinate around the metrics.

Evaluation questions

Most common topics about the Evaluation

Yes. Profit targets, drawdowns (loss limits), minimum days, leverage cap, and consistency are identical across all evaluation tracks. The track only changes the price paid and the profit split after funding.
