The Trading Pit Rules

The Trading Pit's plans state a maximum drawdown of 3% to 6% of the account size (drawdown type: end-of-day and trailing), across 6 plans. A consistency rule applies: 30% for CFDs Instant payouts; 40% of the profit target on Futures Prime and Stocks challenges (a breach raises the target) and on the Classic programs; 50% for rewards on 1-Phase $100K and $200K CFD accounts created from July 2026. News trading is conditional: no opening trades or filled pending orders 2 minutes either side of high-impact news on $100,000 and $200,000 CFD accounts and on Futures Classic; allowed on Futures Prime, CFDs Instant and Stocks; the terms list news bracketing within 2 minutes of a release as prohibited without that scope.

The Trading Pit's plans state a maximum drawdown of 3% to 6% of the account size (drawdown type: end-of-day and trailing), across 6 plans.

A daily loss limit of 2% is stated on 5 of 6 plans; where a plan shows a dash, no daily figure is recorded for it.

Dollar amounts are the published percentage applied to the account size.

In The Trading Pit's words
