objectives and rules
To become a Funded Trader:
Reach a 6% target. For example, on a $50,000 buying power account, the profit target is $3,000
Max Drawdown:
The maximum amount of $ you can lose. Reaching that number will cause termination of the account
End of Day
10 minutes before the end of the day we will fully liquidate your account (open positions and pending orders). We've got you covered!
To become a Funded Trader:
On both the FLEX and MAX Swing accounts, you must reach a profit target equal to 15% of your account's buying power. Example: If your account has a $10,000 buying power, your profit target is $1,500. Once you hit this target within the evaluation period and stay within all risk and consistency rules, you become eligible for a funded trading account.
Max Drawdown:
The Max Drawdown is the maximum dollar amount you are allowed to lose during the evaluation. Reaching or exceeding this limit will result in termination of the account. For both FLEX and MAX Swing accounts, the Max Drawdown is 7% of the account's buying power. Example: If your account has a $10,000 buying power, your Max Drawdown limit is $700. Staying within this limit is essential to remain in the program and progress toward becoming a funded trader.
No Earnings Holding:
We will disable a ticker at the end of the trading day - before the earnings are released.
Consistency Rules:
Minimum positions = 20 The trader’s best position can not be responsible for more than 30% of the total profit target. Example: on a $3,000 profit target, the best profitable position can not be more than $900

FAQs
Day Trading:
For Day Trading accounts, you will scale once you reach a 6% validated profit target based on the initial balance of that specific account.
Example: With a $5,000 account, reaching $300 in validated profit qualifies you to move to the next level.
Swing Trading:
For Swing Trading accounts, you will scale once you reach a 15% validated profit target based on the initial balance of that specific account.
Example: With a $10,000 account, reaching $1,500 in validated profit qualifies you to move to the next level.
For more information, learn more about the evaluation process.
Both Day & Swing Trading:
Once you’re funded, your account will be scaled once you’ve reached a 10% validated profit target based on your account’s buying power.
Example: With a $50,000 funded account, reaching $5,000 in validated profit qualifies you to move to the next level.
This process repeats every time you hit a new 10% valid profit milestone in a funded account.
Please note:
For funded FLEX programs, to be eligible for scaling, you must achieve at least 3 profitable days, each with a gain of 0.5% or more. This requirement ensures that traders demonstrate consistent profitability before advancing to a larger buying power.
For more information, explore scaling your funded account.

This process can take up to 3 business days.
For more information, visit the program terms.
Day Trading:
Ten minutes before the market closes each day (15:50 ET), all active and pending orders will be automatically liquidated.
After the market closes at 16:00 ET, you are allowed to open new positions. These positions may be held overnight until 15:50 ET the next trading day; by then all active and pending orders will again be liquidated.
When trading during Pre/Post market hour sessions, your available exposure is reduced to the overnight limits listed below.
Overnight Exposure Limits
People with a $5,000 account will be reduced to an exposure of → $800
People with a $25,000 account will be reduced to an exposure of → $4,000
People with a $50,000 account will be reduced to an exposure of → $8,000
People with a $100,000 account will be reduced to an exposure of → $16,000
People with a $200,000 account will be reduced to an exposure of → $32,000
Swing Trading:
You may hold positions overnight and over weekends at all tiers.
Unlike day trading accounts, your exposure during Pre/Post market hour sessions will remain the same as your full account size.
Unlike day trading accounts, your exposure during Pre/Post market hour sessions will remain the same as your full account size.
The Hub dashboard rounds prices to two decimals for display, which can make a move appear to be “.10” even when the weighted average is slightly less. Our backend calculations use the exact decimals when checking eligibility.
The calculation uses precise weighted average entry and exit prices, then takes the difference between those two averages. Which if calculated precisely and to many decimal points (e.g., 0.0000, can be slightly less than 10 cents).
The Hub dashboard rounds time to the nearest second for display, which can make a move appear to be 30 seconds even when the precise difference is slightly less. Our system uses the exact time in split seconds when checking validity, measured down to milliseconds, microseconds, etc.
The system calculates the precise average entry and exit timestamps, then measures the difference between them in split seconds. If the exact difference is slightly under 30, even if it shows “30 seconds” on the dashboard, the trade may be invalidated according to the 30-second rule.
During both swing trading and day trading, the rules for order types in pre-market and post-market hours are the same: only limit-based orders are allowed.
You are able to use:
- Limit orders
- Buy Limit
- Sell Limit
The following order types cannot be used during pre/post market hours:
- Market orders
- Stop orders
- Stop Limit Orders
- One-Cancels-Other (OCO)
- Stop-Loss (SL) orders
- Take-Profit (TP) orders
Trading hours:
- Regular market: 9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET
- Pre-market: 4:00 AM – 9:30 AM ET
- Post-market: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET
All limit-based orders will be triggered if the price conditions are met during pre/post-market sessions, while all other order types will only activate during regular market hours.
Note: If you open a trade during regular market hours and hold the position into pre/post-market sessions, you must use a limit buy/sell order to close the position.
For example, if you open a trade on TSLA at 3:30 PM ET and set a Take-Profit (TP) and Stop-Loss (SL) at 3:40 PM ET. Please be aware that if the position reaches your SL during pre/post-market hours, it will not execute, because a standard SL is a market order.
If you plan to hold a position overnight or outside regular trading hours, make sure you use Limit buy/sell orders only.
Yes, your trade will be liquidated at 3:50 PM ET if there is a scheduled earnings report that night. This applies to both day trading and swing trading accounts.
Consistency rules exist to ensure that traders demonstrate disciplined, repeatable trading rather than relying on luck or taking excessive risks. They prevent situations where a single large or lucky trade accounts for most of the profit, encouraging steady performance and proper risk management. Following these rules shows that trading results are based on skill and strategy, not chance.
The Daily Loss Pause is always calculated at the start of the trading day. This value remains fixed for the duration of that trading day, regardless of any intraday changes to your Max Loss.
Even if the Max Loss level is adjusted intraday (for example, after reaching 3 × Daily Loss in unrealized or realized profit), the Daily Loss Pause does not recalculate until the start of the next trading day.
This means that while the Max Loss may move during the day, the Daily Loss Pause will continue to reflect the starting-day balance and will only update at the market open of the following trading day.
Example Scenario:
Suppose you are trading an account with a starting balance of $50,000.
- At the start of the day, the Daily Pause is set at $49,500 (starting balance minus the $500 daily loss).
- During the day, your account grows to $51,000. Because your profit exceeded 3 × Daily Loss ($1,500), the system resets your Max Loss to your initial balance of $50,000.
- If your equity then falls back to the initial balance of $50,000, the account is disabled for hitting Max Loss.
- In this scenario, you will notice that the Daily Pause was not triggered even though the account was disabled, because the Daily Pause always references the starting-day balance and does not update mid-day. It will only recalibrate again at the beginning of the next trading day.
You can request a withdrawal or payout from your funded account 14 days after the account’s inception date or after a previous withdrawal, provided you have a minimum of $300 in profits (For $5K accounts, the minimum profit withdrawal is $150).
Note: This policy applies to all funded account types and levels. For example, if you scale from a Level 1 funded account to Level 2, you will need to wait an additional 14 days to withdraw profits that were carried over from your previous account. This is because, once you scale, the prior account is disabled and no longer accessible.
To avoid this delay, we recommend requesting a withdrawal before reaching your target and scaling to the next level. This ensures you can access your profits without having to wait an additional 14 days after scaling.
Payouts are processed via wire transfer, cryptocurrency, Hub credits, or credit card, and usually take 3 to 5 business days, depending on your bank, card issuer, country or selected payout method.
To be eligible to withdraw profits from your FLEX account, you must consistently earn at least 0.5% of your buying power in profit on 3 separate trading days within any 14-day period.
These days do not need to be consecutive.
Example: With a $10,000 account
0.5% of $10,000 = $50
So, you’ll need to make at least $50 profit on 3 different days within a 14 day trading period to qualify for a withdrawal.
This rule is to encourage consistent performance over time before you can withdraw profits.
This requirement doesn’t apply to MAX accounts.
Only one booster is allowed per user (not per purchased account). This means that if you have multiple accounts open at the same time, you can only use a booster on one account.
If all of your accounts are terminated and you purchase a new account, you may request a booster for the new account.
Exception:
The SignalStack booster is an exception which can be used as a secondary booster.
All other boosters (Trendspider, TraderSync, Bookmap, Trade The Pool integrations, etc.) follow the one-per-user rule.
Account boosters are optional tools you can activate on your account to enhance your trading workflow. These boosters give you access to premium third-party platforms at no extra cost for a month. They are designed to help with charting, analytics, trade management, automation, market scanning, or real-time order flow.
We partner with several well-known trading platforms so you can use their services for free:

When a funded account is scaled to the next level, the profit split (70% Customer / 30% TTP) is applied, and the trading credits are added to the new account.
Upon resuming trading in your new scaled funded account (Level 2 and beyond), the added credits will be used first to cover losses below the initial balance of the account.
Any losses beyond the general initial balance will be automatically deducted from these credits. Each time the account balance reaches a new lowest point below the initial balance, the corresponding portion of credits will be reduced.
Profits generated do not replenish or offset lost credits. Instead, profits are counted as new profit and are subject to the applicable profit split.
For more information, head to the program terms.
Funded Accounts:
Once your profit reaches three times the daily pause allowance, the account’s max loss is reset to the account’s original initial balance.
Example – Flex Program:
- Account Initial Balance: $100,000
- Initial Max Loss: 4% ($4,000)
- Daily Pause: 2% ($2,000)
Scenario:
- A trader begins with $100,000 and a maximum loss of $4,000.
- When the trader earns a profit of $6,000 (3× Daily Pause), bringing the account balance to $106,000, the account’s max loss is reset to the original initial balance of $100,000.
- From this point, if the trader’s losses reduce the account balance back to $100,000, the account will be terminated.
Note: If your account profits surpass 3× the daily pause at Level 1 of a funded account, when you scale up to the next level, the max loss will remain at the initial balance of the new account. It will not revert to a value lower than the starting balance of the new account.
Evaluation Accounts:
Does not apply.
You will be required to complete a KYC (Know Your Customer) verification in the following situations:
- After reaching your first evaluation target – Once you hit the target on your initial evaluation account, you’ll be asked to complete a KYC before moving forward to the account review process.
- When holding multiple evaluation accounts – If you have zero funded accounts but five or more evaluation accounts, you must complete a KYC form before continuing to trade on these accounts.
Additionally, please be aware that TTP may request you to complete a KYC at any time and for any reason during your time with us, regardless of the above scenarios.
