How the Prime evaluation works
The Prime evaluation is a one-step test: reach your profit target while staying inside your limits. There are no multi-phase challenges.
What you have to do
- Hit your profit target for your account size.
- Trade on at least one day. Prime's minimum is a single qualifying trading day — you can pass on day one.
- Stay above your Max Loss Limit. This is the only limit that closes the account.
- Stay inside your daily loss limit. Prime caps your loss in a single day (except on $25K Silver).
- Follow the conduct rules — see Prohibited practices.
Your targets by size
| Tier | Account size | Profit target | Max Loss Limit | Daily loss limit | Max contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | None | 2 mini / 20 micro |
| Gold | $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,200 | 4 mini / 40 micro |
| Platinum | $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $1,800 | 6 mini / 60 micro |
| Titanium | $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $2,700 | 10 mini / 100 micro |
You trade at your full tier maximum from your first trade — Prime doesn't scale your size up as you go.
The 30-day window
You have 30 calendar days from purchase to reach your profit target. The clock starts the day you buy.
- The window counts calendar days, not trading days — weekends and holidays are included.
- You can pass at any point inside it, including on your first trading day.
- If you don't reach the target in 30 days, the evaluation account expires.
Need more time? A reset gives you a fresh account. A reset bought before your deadline keeps the same deadline; one bought after it starts a fresh 30-day window.
No consistency requirement
Prime has no consistency rule in the evaluation. Your biggest day can be any share of your total profit. If your edge produces one outsized session and that alone clears your target, that passes.
A consistency check does apply later, but only on a funded account and only at payout time — see Prime consistency. It has no bearing on passing the evaluation.
The two limits, and which one ends the account
Prime has two loss limits, and they behave very differently:
- The Max Loss Limit is the hard one. Hitting it closes the account immediately. See Prime drawdown.
- The daily loss limit is the soft one. It's a guardrail on a single day's loss, not an account-ending breach. See The Prime daily loss limit.
What happens when you pass
Your account moves to the funded phase and activates free — funded accounts carry no ongoing fees. Before your first payout you'll complete a one-time payout verification with our partner Rise.
