With our code 8KX23EX3: 5% off, $95 (list $100). One-step evaluation: 6% target, no minimum days, no time limit, but place a trade at least every 14 days or the account closes. The 4% drawdown ($2,000) trails your highest end-of-day balance or equity and never locks, in the evaluation and when funded. After each payout it restarts 4% below the new balance. (Some of The5ers' examples take 4% of the current balance instead, a little more room as the account grows; the model keeps $2,000.) Consistency, to pass and for each payout: your biggest winning trade can be at most 40% of all your winning trades added up (losses aren't deducted). Going over doesn't fail the account; you trade on until it's back under. Payouts every 14 days, the first once the funded account is 14 days old (about 10 trading days), whenever the balance is at least 4% ($2,000) above the start; each is capped at 3% ($1,500) for accounts bought from 15 Oct 2026. Rise, crypto and bank payouts carry a 3.5% fee (none if taken as Hub Credit, which only buys new accounts). The evaluation fee is refunded with the third payout. At each 10% of profit the account scales: 80% of that profit is paid out, the balance goes up 5% and one more mini (10 micros) is allowed. Taking payouts every two weeks, the model rarely gets there, so scaling isn't modeled. Day trading only: everything closed by 4:50 PM CT, no overnight or weekend holding. Commissions: $5 a round turn per mini, $2.50 per micro (The5ers' commission table; another of its articles says $5 per side). Platform: BlackArrow only. Copy trading only between your own 25K and 50K accounts, up to $75,000 in total. Up to 5 accounts of each size. High-frequency trades of a few seconds, algorithmic trading and hedging are banned.

How it plays by strategy

Ranked against all 29 50K 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.
