The evaluation

How the evaluation works

One profit target, two floors and a consistency check — all of it applied automatically, none of it by hand.

An evaluation is a simulated account with a rulebook. Reach the profit target without hitting a floor and you are funded; from then on you trade the firm's capital and keep the agreed share of what it makes. Everything below is enforced by the engine on a schedule, identically for everyone, with nobody reviewing your trades.

The part most rulebooks bury

The profit target is measured on REALIZED profit — money from positions you actually closed or that actually settled. Sitting on a winning open position that would clear the target does not pass the evaluation, because an unrealized gain can hand itself straight back. The floors work the other way: they are measured on your equity including open positions, so a loss you have not taken yet still counts against you immediately.

That asymmetry is deliberate and it is the single most useful thing to know before you start. Gains have to be booked to count. Losses count the moment the market moves.

The floor trails you up, then locks. Knowing where it locks changes how you size.

Next: how the drawdown floor moves

Every figure on this page is read from our live plan catalog and from the engine’s own fee function at the moment the page loads. Accounts are simulated; the rules described here are the ones the engine enforces automatically.
