Coordinating trades across different users, accounts not owned by you, or any form of risk-neutralizing activity is strictly prohibited.

• Inactivity Rule: In order to keep the PRO Account, you will be required to trade at least one day per calendar week (Sunday-Friday). A “traded day” is defined as a day where at least one round-trip has been executed on any permitted instrument.
• Trading Hours: Trading window: 6 PM Eastern – 5 PM Eastern All open positions are automatically closed at 4:55 PM EST — accounts are no longer failed for forgetting to close positions. This applies to all Tradovate accounts automatically, and for Rithmic, it applies to all new accounts created from 6 AM EST May 6 2026 onward. If the market for a specific product closes before 5 PM Eastern and trader cannot exit before the deadline, the account will be liquidated. Market hours can change due to holidays. It is the trader’s responsibility to monitor holiday schedules. Missing a holiday-adjusted close time will result in account liquidation.
• CME Price Limit: It is the trader's responsibility to be out of all trades before these limits are hit. If a price limit is hit, and you have not exited your position, this will cost you to lose your pro account. The CME has a list of the price limits for each particular day. They are listed here: CME PRICE LIMITS
• Drawdown: Drawdown is the total amount you can lose on your account. The drawdown is End of Day on test accounts, meaning it updates at the end of the trading day (5PM EST). On the PRO accounts, the drawdown is intraday, meaning it trails your unrealized profit in real time. In PRO+, the drawdown is End of Day, the same as in the test. The drawdown across all three account types will STOP trailing once it has reached the initial account balance. Once traders pass the Test, they have the option to reset the Pro account up to 3 times.
• Max Loss Type: Test & Pro+ Stage: EOD Trailing Pro Stage: Intraday Trailing Pro Account Reset Option: Once traders pass the Test, they have the option to reset the Pro account up to 3 times.

Payout Policy

PRO ACCOUNT - 80/20 split, the trader keeps 80%. Payouts are on demand. A trader can withdraw from day one on a PRO account, but a buffer has to be built first: profits are withdrawable at 80% only once the balance clears the maximum drawdown level, which the firm calls the buffer zone. Buffer zone by account size: $26,500 ($25K), $52,000 ($50K), $77,500 ($75K), $103,000 ($100K), $154,500 ($150K). Profits sitting inside the buffer zone can only be withdrawn once the account has been terminated, and the split then depends on how long the PRO account was traded: 50% at 60 trading days or less since the account opened, 80% beyond that. The count is 60 TRADING days, the last being the final trading day on the PRO account. There is no minimum and no maximum withdrawal amount. PRO+ ACCOUNT - 90/10 split, the trader keeps 90%. These are live accounts with $0 margin, routed directly to the exchange rather than simulated or copy traded, and the trader is classified as professional. No buffer zone requirement, no payout restrictions, no consistency rule and no daily loss limit. Drawdown is end of day. Copy trading is allowed across up to 5 accounts. There is no single threshold that earns a PRO+ upgrade. The team reviews performance as a whole and sends an invitation by email; the decision is at the firm's discretion. WITHDRAWAL FEES: free above $250. A withdrawal of $250 or less is charged a $50 fee, deducted automatically. PayPal may add its own fees on top, taken out of the amount withdrawn.
