Lucky Punch Rule:

• No single trade may account for more than 30% of total P&L. On $5,000 of profit the largest single trade can be $1,500.
• This is the only percentage-based consistency rule; the scaling plan governs contract size rather than payout eligibility.

• Beginner $10K: EUR 109 a month, $650 profit target, $500 maximum loss, 1 mini or 10 micros.
• Advanced $25K: EUR 139 a month, $1,500 target, $1,250 maximum loss, 3 minis or 30 micros.
• Pro $50K: EUR 169 a month, $3,000 target, $2,500 maximum loss, 5 minis or 50 micros.
• Exclusive $100K: EUR 239 a month, $6,000 target, $3,500 maximum loss, 10 minis or 100 micros.
• Expert $150K: EUR 299 a month, $9,000 target, $5,000 maximum loss, 15 minis or 150 micros.
• Extreme $250K: EUR 499 a month, $15,000 target, $6,000 maximum loss, 25 minis or 250 micros.
• Every plan needs 5 minimum trading days and has no maximum time limit. The profit target works out at roughly 6-8% of the account depending on size.
• Risk is governed by a trailing maximum loss. No separate daily loss limit is published for the evaluation.
• Positions must be closed by 3:15 PM CST and trading resumes at 5:00 PM CST, so overnight holding is not possible. Weekend holding is not allowed either.

Scaling plan:

• The account starts on its base contract allocation and gains one extra contract for every $2,500 of profit - 1 contract at $0, 2 at $2,500, 3 at $5,000 and so on.
• Once funded there is a EUR 95 monthly fee covering software, market data and infrastructure. It covers all of a trader's funded accounts together, whether that is one account or ten.
• Scalping and intraday trading are allowed.
• Automated strategies and EAs need prior approval under the Terms.
• Market data is real-time CME Level 2, delivered through Rithmic and dxFeed. Any platform that connects to Rithmic or dxFeed can be used; the firm publishes no named platform list.

Worth checking before buying:

• The homepage describes funded traders receiving real capital, while the Terms describe the funded accounts as simulated environments. The two do not agree, so the funding model is worth confirming with the firm directly.
