Firm Rules

• Sapphire (1-Step evaluation): $25K - $1,500 target, $1,000 EOD drawdown, 3 contracts or 30 micros. $50K - $3,000, $2,000, 6/60. $100K - $6,000, $3,000, 12/120. $150K - $9,000, $5,000, 15/150. Three minimum trading days, no daily loss limit, no time limit.
• Flex (1-Step): the same targets, drawdowns and contract limits as Sapphire, with no daily loss limit. The rulebook sets 5 minimum trading days and 50% evaluation consistency, with none once funded.
• Flex - check at checkout: the live pricing widget shows 0 minimum days and 52% consistency while the published rulebook says 5 days and 50%. The rulebook figures are recorded here.
• Diamond (the funded account after passing Sapphire): the daily loss limit is 50% of the EOD drawdown - on a $50K account with a $2,000 drawdown that is a $1,000 daily pause.
• Direct (no evaluation): tighter drawdowns of $1,000 ($25K), $1,500 ($50K), $2,000 ($100K) and $3,000 ($150K). No profit target, a daily loss of 30% of the drawdown, and a flat 80% split.
• Express to Live is a separate programme sized by drawdown rather than balance: $1,000 drawdown - $2,000 target, $400 daily loss, 1 mini or 10 micros. $1,500 - $3,000, $600, 1/15. $2,000 - $4,000, $800, 2/20. $3,000 - $6,000, $1,200, 3/30. Seven-day evaluation, a live account after the buffer, no funded consistency rule, daily payouts, an 85% split, no payout cap and a $99 reset.
• Scalping and microscalping are both allowed, and there is no minimum hold time.
• Overnight and weekend holding are not allowed - every position must be closed before the session ends.
• Automated and algorithmic trading, bots and EAs are not allowed.
• Copy trading is allowed between a trader's own ONYX accounts through R|Trader Pro. Hedging is not allowed.
• News trading is allowed but a flatten rule applies: positions must be closed at least 2 minutes before Tier-1 scheduled releases such as FOMC, NFP, CPI, PPI and the FOMC minutes.
• Tradable: equity index futures (ES, NQ, YM, RTY and the MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K micros), energy (CL, NG), metals (GC, SI, HG), currency futures (6E, 6B, 6A, 6C, 6J), agriculture (corn, soybeans, wheat, hogs, cattle) and interest rates (2Y, 5Y, 10Y notes and bonds).
• Not tradable: stocks, options, spot forex, crypto and CFDs.
• Up to 5 accounts may be run at the same time.
• Evaluation is simulated. After passing, a real broker account in the firm's name may be offered, subject to the firm's discretion and broker approval.
• Naming note: parts of the website still use the older Ruby, Gold and Platinum names. The current knowledge base uses Sapphire, Diamond, Flex and Direct, which is what is recorded here.

Payout Policy

Minimum payout is $300, with one request a week. Approval is advertised in under 24 hours, and processing takes a further 3-5 business days after approval. The first payout requires the balance to clear the starting balance plus the full drawdown - on a $25K account with a $1,000 drawdown that is $26,500. After each payout, 5 profitable trading days of $200 or more each are needed before the next request. Diamond splits by request size: under $1,000 the trader keeps 100%, $1,000-$1,999 keeps 90%, and $2,000 or more keeps 80%. The "up to 100%" claim is true only on the smallest requests. Direct pays a flat 80%. Express to Live pays 85% with daily payouts and no cap. If a payout is delayed the firm adds $300 to it. Payouts remain discretionary and subject to eligibility, rule compliance and identity verification. No payout rail is publicly named in the rulebook.
