  • 1 Step Nitro 300K is a program of its own because its daily loss limit is 3%, against 4% on the other Nitro sizes.
  • No reset fee is published for any program.
  • No pass rate is assumed: the months are how many you could pay before one Instant Standard costs less, not how long passing takes.

Consistency

Funded Trader Markets consistency rule, worked out

1 Step Nitro limits the best day to 50% of the target to pass and 45% of the total profit once funded; the instant accounts allow 15% of the total profit; 2 Step Plus has no consistency rule. Each row is worked at the size shown.

Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.

Watch out: Nitro 7

  1. Drawdown

    The 6% drawdown follows your highest recorded balance until the account is up 6%, then stays at the starting balance; balance or equity reaching it is a breach.

How does the Funded Trader Markets consistency rule work?

On 1 Step Nitro your best day may be at most 50% of the profit target to pass ($5,000 at $100K), and 45% of the total profit once funded. The three instant accounts allow at most 15% of the total profit in one day. 2 Step Plus has no consistency rule in either phase or on the funded account. If your best day is larger, you trade on until it is within the limit.

What is the Shield Risk Protocol?

A floating loss limit of 1% of the account, on the funded 2 Step Plus account and on Instant Plus. When it is breached all positions close and the profit split falls to 50/50, then 40/60, 30/70 and for good 20/80. With the 90% add-on on 2 Step Plus it also applies in the evaluation: a first breach is soft and a second fails the evaluation.

What happens to the drawdown when you withdraw?

Once 1 Step Nitro or Instant Plus is up 6% the limit is fixed at the starting balance. The firm's example on a $100,000 account with $6,000 of profit: withdrawing all of it leaves no drawdown room and breaches the account, while withdrawing $4,000 leaves $2,000 of room. On Instant Standard and Instant Pro partial withdrawals are not allowed, and the overall drawdown resets to its initial level after a full withdrawal.
