What stands out

The instant accounts trail on open profit. Instant HERO's 50K allows $2,500 below your highest equity, stopping at the starting balance, with a 3% daily limit (from the day's start) that ends the account.

Strict payout consistency. Instant HERO and Instant GOAT need your best day to be 15% of profit or less, with five or six trading days.

The evaluations are static. The 1-Step 50K has a fixed $3,000 drawdown and a $5,000 target; the 2-Step GOAT a fixed $5,000 with targets of $4,000 then $3,000. Funded accounts need at least four trading days.

News is restricted on the forex accounts. Overnight and weekend holds are allowed.

The futures accounts work differently. Most trail at the end of the day, most close positions by 3:55 PM Central, and 7 days without trading closes an account.
