Target-to-maximum-loss ratios: 2-Step Phase 1 0.8, 1-Step 1.67, Lite Phase 1 1.0. The 1-Step is the fastest route and the tightest budget; the 2-Step has the widest loss room.
Fee audit with CFP
| Model | $5K–$6K | $10K–$15K | $25K | $50K | $100K | $200K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Step regular | $59.99 ($6K) | $119.99 ($15K) | $199.99 | $299.99 | $549.99 | $1,099.99 |
| 2-Step with CFP (50%) | $30.00 | $60.00 | $100.00 | $150.00 | $275.00 | $550.00 |
| 1-Step regular | $65.99 ($6K) | $129.99 ($15K) | $219.99 | $329.99 | $569.99 | $1,099.99 |
| 1-Step with CFP | $33.00 | $65.00 | $110.00 | $165.00 | $285.00 | $550.00 |
| Lite regular | $32.99 ($5K) | $59.99 ($10K) | $139.99 | $229.99 | $399.99 | $798.99 |
| Lite with CFP | $16.50 | $30.00 | $70.00 | $115.00 | $200.00 | $399.50 |
Instant: $2K $59.99 → $30.00; $5K $149.99 → $75.00; $10K $299.99 → $150.00; $20K $599.99 → $300.00. Final figures assume the maximum 50%; the accepted rate can be lower. Resets, swap-free, share and payout-schedule upgrades, EA/VPS access and taxes are separate.
Audit finding: Lite is 25–40% cheaper than 2-Step at every size and refunds the fee at the third reward, in exchange for 2% less maximum loss and a longer refund path.
Drawdown audit: static floors and the daily reset
- Maximum loss on 2-Step, 1-Step and Lite is a static percentage of the starting balance (90%, 94% and 92% floors). It does not trail profits. Instant uses a 6% trailing floor.
- Daily loss resets at 00:00 server time and includes floating P&L. A $100K 2-Step with $2,000 closed loss and $3,100 floating loss is $5,100 down and breached, even though closed losses alone are inside 5%.
- Static means fixed, not end-of-day: an intraday wick or spread widening can breach either floor.
Reward audit: share, timing, refunds
| Model | Share | First reward window | Later cycle | Fee refund |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Step | 80% (Scale-Up to 90%) | 21 days | 14 days after a profitable cycle | With first reward |
| 1-Step | 80%; up to 95% package | 5 business days | 5 business days | With third reward |
| Lite | 80% | 10 days (standard reference) | 14 days | With third reward |
| Instant | Up to 80% | On-demand or biweekly | Package-specific | None |
Alternative 2-Step reward packages (three-winning-day requests at a lower share, on-demand) are selected at purchase and have their own terms.
Rules that end accounts or adjust profits
