Account closes after the 5th payout. Typical price is the price from your 3rd purchase on; the first two cost $260. First payout moves the drawdown floor to start + $100. Profit from trades under 10 seconds is deducted if it passes 40% of a cycle's profit.
How it plays by strategy
Ranked against all 23 150K accounts by EV per attempt: what one attempt is worth on average once fees are paid. Higher is better; below zero means the fees outweigh the expected payouts.

|---|---|---|---|
| Scalper | 4 of 23 | $905 | 6% |
| Momentum day trader | 5 of 23 | $1,323 | 9% |
| Home-run hitter | 7 of 23 | $1,277 | 8% |
| Steady grinder | 12 of 23 | $1,090 | 7% |
| News trader | 3 of 23 | $1,223 | 8% |
