Overview
The TopTier Pro Challenge is structured with clearly defined rules to encourage disciplined, consistent trading while maintaining risk control. Traders must complete two evaluation tiers before reaching a funded account, each with specific requirements for profit, trading days, and risk management.
📋 Key Rules
1. Profit Targets
To advance through each tier of the Pro Challenge:
Tier 1: 10% profit target
8% profit target if purchased with the Hybrid Max Loss / Profit Target Add-on
Tier 2: 5% profit target
2. Minimum Trading Days
Tier 1 & Tier 2: Minimum of 4 simulated trading days
This is reduced to 0 days if the No Minimum Trading Days Add-on is purchased.
Maximum Trading Days: Unlimited for both tiers.
3. Daily Simulated Drawdown Limit
The daily sim drawdown is calculated as 5% of the higher of:
The starting day’s virtual balance or
The starting day’s virtual equity (realized/unrealized gains)
🕔 The drawdown resets daily at 5 PM EST.
Example:
If your starting equity is $105,000 and balance is $100,000:
Drawdown = 5% of $105,000 = $5,250
New equity must stay above $99,750 that day.
4. Maximum Overall Simulated Drawdown
Set at 10% of your initial sim balance.
Reduced to 8% if the Hybrid Max Loss / Profit Target Add-on is purchased.
💡 Unlike the daily drawdown, this drawdown does not reset. It remains fixed based on your starting balance.
5. Payout Rules (Once Funded)
Payouts are on-demand: You may request a payout once you’ve hit at least 2% profit and meet the 40% consistency rule.
Minimum of 2% of the starting account balance required.
Profit Split:
80% standard
90% with the Higher Profit Share Add-on
Payouts are typically processed within 1 business day.
6. Consistency Rule
To qualify for a payout, you must meet the 40% consistency rule, meaning:
Your highest day profit should not exceed 40% of your total profit.
If you exceed this, you’ll need to continue trading until your average profit distribution becomes consistent.
7. News Trading
Allowed only with the News Trading Add-on
Without the add-on, traders cannot place trades within 5 minutes before or after a red folder event.
Violations result in profit deductions.
