Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Clean rules with no DLL and no funded consistency. But the PRO drawdown switch to intraday, 80/20 split, expensive PRO resets, and 60-day early withdrawal penalty are significant hidden costs. PRO+ is the goal but requires invitation.
CRITICAL: Drawdown switches from EOD (Test) to INTRADAY (PRO). This is the #1 reason funded traders blow accounts. PRO+ goes back to EOD but requires invitation after ~$5K in PRO profits.
Buffer system means your first $2K-$4.5K of profit is locked. 80/20 on PRO is below standard. Early withdrawal penalty: only 50% payout if account terminates within 60 trading days. PRO resets are EXPENSIVE ($399-$1,299).
PRO drawdown switches to INTRADAY trailing (biggest trap). 80/20 split on PRO. Early withdrawal penalty (50% if <60 days). PRO resets cost $399-$1,299. News restricted on funded (1 min buffer FOMC/NFP). Automated trading prohibited.
One-time pricing + $0 activation + no monthly fees = lowest total cost of funding. Select Daily vs Flex choice is unique. News trading fully unrestricted. Automation allowed. No resets is the main downside.
EOD trailing locks at starting balance + $100 after first payout on Flex - becomes a static floor. This is genuinely favorable. Growth and Lightning also have EOD trailing.
Two funded paths on Select is smart design. Daily path has DLL but faster payouts. Flex has no DLL but needs 5 winning days. No resets means a blown account = buy new eval.
No resets - blown account means buying a new eval. Positions must close by 4 PM CT. Select Daily has daily loss limits. Max 5 funded accounts. 1 trade/week minimum activity.
