Start the account. Hit the objective. Move into funded trading.

Growth and Express are buy-options-only plans. Pro allows buying and selling supported options. Growth and Express have no evaluation consistency or minimum trading days; funded payouts require 8 qualifying winning days. A Pro evaluation needs at least 5 positive profit days and a 20% best-day limit. Every Pro evaluation sold so far was bought with rules that count risk-adjusted eligible profit from fully closed rounds. Pro accounts bought so far get updated Pro rules: the risk adjustment is removed, profit counts when a position or part of one is closed (every realized dollar after fees, on the New York date of the close), past activity is recounted the same way, and the daily loss limit is removed. Each account gets them at its daily reset after the change reaches it; until then, the rules it was bought with apply. The first pass under the updated counting needs one closing trade after the account gets the update. If an account would pass under the rules it was bought with, it still passes on those rules. The evaluation profit target and loss limit stay the same. One exception: when all the options you hold on one underlying and expiration, taken together, can no longer lose money at the prices you traded them and brought in a net credit, their result from then on counts only while it is a loss, so a net gain on them counts $0. Whenever a later trade leaves all your options there in that state again, each option you then hold there joins them, even one that could lose on its own. Contracts you add to one of them join too, even if they can lose. Each leaves when its position is closed. Every other trade counts in full. Pro funded accounts have a 6% end-of-day trailing loss allowance and count profit per close: each payout needs at least 5 positive profit days in its cycle and a best day at most 20% of that cycle's profit. No plan has a time limit to pass. Full detail is on the rules page.
