What stands out
The daily loss limit is measured from the day's start. On High Stakes it's 4% of the balance you began the day with ($2,000 on a 50K account starting the day at $50,000), and breaking it ends the account.
Drawdowns are static. High Stakes allows $4,000 below the starting balance on the 50K, at every stage.
Two High Stakes versions. Classic asks for 8% in Step 1, New for 10%; both need 5% in Step 2 and at least three trading days per step.
Funded accounts keep a target. The funded High Stakes 50K still has a $5,000 profit target.
Bootcamp is three steps with small static drawdowns, and only adds a daily limit once funded.
News is restricted on the forex accounts. The futures Day Trade and Swing accounts allow it, trail at the end of the day, and close an account after 14 idle days.
