Commissions

$0.50 per side, not round-trip — you pay $0.50 to open and $0.50 to close, so a full round turn costs $1.00 per contract.

Consistency Rules

Consistency rule40% — a single day's profit can't exceed 40% of the target, and only during the challenge phase; funded accounts have no consistency objective.

Firm Rules

Evaluation & Profit Target +

1-Step evaluations at 100K, 200K and 300K, offered in NYC and Full schedules and at 55% or 80% profit-split tiers. Hit the target over the required days to get funded.

Drawdown / Max Loss +

An end-of-day style loss limit applies; the maximum contract size differs between the NYC schedule and the Full schedule.

Consistency Rule +

During the challenge, no single day may exceed 40% of the profit target. Once you're funded there's no consistency objective at all.

Minimum Trading Days +

You need at least 3 trading days to complete the evaluation stage.

News & Stops +

News trading is allowed and there is no stop-loss requirement.

Automated & Copy Trading +

Expert Advisors are permitted but require pre-approval, and copy trading is allowed through the Volumetrica trade copier.

DCA / Martingale +

You can average into a position up to 5 executions on the same symbol. Martingale-style sizing — increasing size specifically to claw back losses — is prohibited.

Inactivity Rule +

During evaluation you must place at least one trade per week or the account deactivates. On a Sim-Funded account a missed week only pauses it — you stay eligible for payouts but must reactivate.

Payout & Withdrawal +

Payouts go out via bank wire or crypto, with your profit split set at 55% or 80% depending on the plan you bought.

Challenges

Traders Launch offers 3 evaluation account sizes from $100,000 to $300,000, from $159/mo. See all challenges & pricing →
