What does Pro cost, and can my monthly price change?
Pro monthly list prices are $499 for 25K, $999 for 50K and $2,999 for 100K. Normal sales and coupons apply, and bulk discounts use the ordinary tiers. Checkout shows your first charge and the later renewal amount under the selected offer; a first-month discount may not repeat. Existing subscriptions keep their accepted billing terms. Pro has no activation fee or funded subscription.
Can I buy options on Pro?
Yes. Pro allows buying and selling options, including long calls and puts, debit and credit spreads, and uncovered option sales on supported contracts. Stock positions, futures, VIX-family options and non-standard deliverables are not supported.
What does assessed risk mean on Pro?
Assessed risk is a dollar measure of the loss in your open option positions. A position with a defined maximum loss uses that loss, including premiums and allocated entry fees. For example, one $5-wide spread that collects $100 can lose $400 before fees: $500 spread value minus the $100 credit. A stop order does not reduce that maximum. An uncovered short call has unlimited possible loss, so Pro uses its published stress scenario instead; the actual loss can exceed that stress amount. Buying power and the premium collected are different numbers.
Does buying instead of selling change the Pro profit rule?
The same risk adjustment applies to buying and selling. All net profits stay in your trading balance, but only eligible profit counts toward passing and payouts. A completed profitable round earns its net profit minus its risk adjustment, with a minimum credit of zero. A net losing round reduces eligible profit by its full loss. Some profitable trades can earn no eligible credit. Profit that did not earn eligible credit does not become eligible later.
Can you show me a simple Pro eligible-profit example?
On a $50K funded account, consider a round opened once, with no added or reopened risk, that finishes with $150 net profit after fees. With $75 of assessed risk, its risk adjustment is $30 and it earns $120 eligible profit. With $150 of assessed risk, the same $150 profit has a $120 adjustment and earns $30 eligible profit. With $300 of assessed risk, that winning round earns $0 eligible profit. The full $150 still increases the trading balance in each case. The adjustment is not an extra cash fee. Eligible profit is not an immediate cash payout: the earning-day, best-day, raw-profit, payout-cap and other published checks still apply.
What is a completed round?
A round starts when you open a position from a flat account and ends when every position is closed. All positions, legs, additions and partial closes are combined. Its eligible profit or loss is recorded on the New York date it finishes. Closing one leg or holding a round across several days does not create several earning days.
Can I qualify in five days?
Five positive eligible-profit completion days is the minimum in both evaluation and each funded payout cycle. Your largest eligible-profit day must be no more than 20% of the net eligible profit in that phase or cycle. Negative days reduce the net total. Uneven results can require more than five days. Evaluation also requires the 6% eligible-profit target.
Is the 80% split based on all my trading profit?
Pro pays 80% of the approved gross withdrawal of eligible profit. The withdrawal is also limited to 50% of remaining raw account profit, the plan cap, settled cash and account safety checks. All net trading profits can grow your trading balance; profits that did not earn eligible credit are not later released as eligible profit.
When does my Pro drawdown stop trailing?
Your loss line is saved when your second payout request is verified. Once that payout is paid, trading profits stop pushing that saved line higher. Withdrawals preserve your remaining loss room. The normal trailing rule applies while a payout is pending. Cancelled or rejected requests do not lock the line. There is no lock during evaluation. The funded lock uses your saved request line, not an automatic move to the starting balance. Payouts and reversals remain neutral to trading performance. Breaching the maximum loss limit fails the account; reaching the daily loss limit pauses trading until the next trading day.
Do existing Pro accounts get the funded drawdown lock?
This funded benefit also applies to existing Pro accounts. Your accepted prices and evaluation terms stay the same. The risk-adjusted eligible-profit calculation, five eligible earning days and 20% best-day consistency still apply.
Can George explain the numbers on my Pro account?
When you are signed in, ask George about a specific Pro account. Support can use its verified eligible profit, remaining evaluation target, earning days, best-day percentage, payout checks and loss-line status. Current round risk and its running risk adjustment are separate from the eligible profit already earned by completed rounds. An open round is not a final result. If a verified figure is unavailable, support should tell you instead of treating it as zero or using trading profit as Pro qualification progress. Complicated questions can be referred to the support team.
When does Pro billing stop?
The evaluation is billed monthly until funded activation, evaluation failure or cancellation under the billing terms. A healthy renewal does not reset progress. There is no activation fee or funded subscription, no automatic replacement evaluation and no lifetime payout cap. A new evaluation after failure is a separate purchase.
