Profit targets and loss limits are in dollars, with the share of the account size underneath. Values marked ⓘ open a note with more detail.

PT:DD divides the max loss by the total profit target, so 1:0.60 means $0.60 of allowed loss per $1 of target. Higher gives more room, and 1:0.80 or more is highlighted. Rule friction rates how easy a rule is to break by accident.

Rules & conditions

DRAWDOWN & RULES

Drawdown Type
Quick Pay Intradaytrailing, calculated intraday in the evaluation and the Funded Sim account25K $1,00050K $2,000100K $3,000150K $4,500
Quick Pay EODtrailing, calculated at the end of the day in the evaluationcalculated intraday in the Funded Sim account25K $1,00050K $2,000100K $3,000150K $4,500
Fast Pass EODtrailing, calculated at the end of the day in the evaluation and the Funded Sim account25K $1,00050K $2,000100K $3,000150K $4,500
All plansthe drawdown stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance (100K: $97,000 freezes at $100,000 when the balance reaches $103,000)an end-of-day level is still enforced in real time
Quick Pay Funded Sim: the drawdown trails on gross profit (current profit plus payouts), so a payout does not lower it and each payout reduces the room between the balance and the drawdown (50K: $500 profit lifts the drawdown to $48,500, a $500 payout leaves the balance at $50,000 with the drawdown still at $48,500, and the next $300 profit lifts it to $48,800)
Fast Pass Funded Sim: on the first payout request the drawdown moves up to the starting balance and stays there
Daily Loss Limit

None on any plan. Traders can set their own optional daily or weekly loss limit in the Tradovate risk settings, which locks the account for the rest of the session

Consistency Rule

  • ›trading can start at the 5:00 PM CT open and run through the night, but every position must be closed before that session's close, so nothing is held over the weekend
