  • The Nitro X (Simulated Funded) account offers a 100% lifetime profit split.

    However, be informed that you are required to always keep 50% of your total profits in your account as a risk buffer.

    The remaining 50% can then be withdrawn at a 100% profit split.

    Example: if you have made $2000 total profit, you have to keep $1000 (50%) in your account as risk buffer, you can then withdraw the remaining $1000 (50%) in full.

  • For 1-step Nitro X accounts, there’s a consistency rule that applies Simulated Funded Phase

    Why this Rule?

    Funded Trader Markets’ Consistency Rule promotes steady profit growth and helps traders avoid emotional trading.

    Important Details About the Consistency Rule For 1-step Nitro X Accounts

    In the Challenge Phase; there is no consistency rule requirement.

    In the Simulated Funded Phase; you should not have made more than 25% of the total profit in one day.

    If a single day’s profit is more than 25% of your total profit in the Simulated Funded Phase, you have to continue trading until there isn’t a day with more than the above said maximum.

    When is the Consistency Rule Required?

    For 1-step Nitro X accounts, it applies to only the Simulated Funded Phase

    Calculation

    [Best Day % of Total Profit] = [Best Day Profit] ÷ [Overall Profit] * 100

    Best Day Profit means the highest single day profit

    Single Day’s Profit = Balance at 5pm EST Today – Balance at 5pm EST Yesterday

    Example (1-step Nitro X Account – Simulated Funded Phase)

    If you made a total profit of $4,000 in the Simulated Funded Phase,

    To be eligible for withdrawal, there should not have been a single day with more than 25% of $4,000 (= $1,000).

    If there is a single day with more than 25% of total profit, then you have to keep on trading until the best day profit is less than 25% of the total profit.

    1. Minimum Performance Reward Threshold

    You must generate at least 3% profit on your initial account size before you can request a reward.

    Example: For a $100,000 account, the minimum profit required is $3,000.

    1. Trailing Overall Drawdown Mechanism

    When you reach the 3% profit threshold, the overall trailing drawdown is locked at the initial account size (the “base”).

    Before 3% Profit: The trailing drawdown follows your highest recorded balance.

    After 3% Profit: The trailing drawdown no longer increases and is fixed at your starting balance. This means your maximum loss allowed is now calculated from the initial balance, not your highest balance.

    1. Reward and Buffer Requirements

    50% Buffer Rule: You are required to keep at least 50% of your profits in the account as a risk buffer.

    Reward Split: You can withdraw the remaining 50% of your profits at a 100% reward rate (i.e., you keep 100% of what you withdraw).

    Practical Examples

    Example 1: First Reward
    Account Size: $100,000
    Profit Generated: $4,000 (4% of account size)

    Trailing Drawdown Lock: Upon hitting 3% profit, the trailing drawdown is locked at $100,000.

    Total Profits Available: $4,000
    Buffer Requirement (50%): $2,000 must remain in the account.
    Maximum Withdrawable Amount (other 50%): $2,000 (Withdrawn)

    Post-Withdrawal Balance: $102,000
    Drawdown Limit: $100,000
    Drawdown Room: $2,000

    Example 2: Second Reward After More Profits
    Let’s say you earn additional profits after your first withdrawal.

    Account Size: $100,000
    Previous Balance (after 1st withdrawal): $102,000
    New Profit Generated: $3,000
    Current Balance: $102,000 + $3,000 = $105,000

    Total Profits Since Available: $5,000
    Buffer Requirement (50%): $2,500
    Maximum Withdrawable Amount (other 50%): $2,500 (Withdrawn)

    Post-Withdrawal Balance: $102,500
    Drawdown Limit: $100,000
    Drawdown Room: $2,500

  • The Maximum Daily Drawdown Limit is 3% of the Initial Balance.

    Example 1:

    For a $100,000 1-Step Nitro X Evaluation, the Daily Drawdown is 3% of the Initial Balance.

    Day 1:

    Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
    Allowed Daily Drawdown: 3% of $100,000 = $3,000 (stop-out limit = $97,000)

    Example 2:
    Day 2:

    End of Day Balance (Day 1): $104,000
    End of Day Equity (Day 1): $103,000

    At 5 PM EST, if unrealised positions are open, then 3% of Initial balance will be deducted from the higher of the two. In Example 2 Day 2 above, since balance is higher than Equity, the stop out limit will become ($104,000 – (3% of 100,000)) = $104,000 – $3,000 = $101,000

    If Either Equity or Balance reaches $101,000, it would result in a breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.

    Example 3:
    Day 3:
    End of Day Balance (Day 2): $101,000
    End of Day Equity (Day 2): $106,000

    In Example 3 above, since Equity is higher than Balance, the stop-out limit will become:
    $106,000 – (3% of $100,000) = $106,000 – $3,000 = $103,000

    Since the Balance of $101,000 is lower than the limit of $103,000, this will cause an immediate breach of the Daily Drawdown Limit.

  • The Overall Drawdown Limit for the 1-Step Nitro Evaluation is 3% from the Highest Recorded Balance

    Key Points to Understand:

    • Trailing Overall Drawdown: The Overall Drawdown is calculated based on your account’s Highest Balance (Maximum Balance Watermark) and does not reset daily at 5 PM EST. It consistently remains at 3% of the INITIAL BALANCE from the peak balance.
    • Fixed Drawdown After Profit: Once the account achieves a 3% profit, the Overall Drawdown Limit is fixed based on the Initial Account size, and the highest recorded balance no longer affects the limit.

    Example 1:
    Start of Day 1:
    Starting Balance/Equity: $100,000
    Initial Overall Drawdown: 3% of $100,000, which means the stop-out limit is set at $97,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

    During Day 1:
    New Balance: $102,000
    Overall Drawdown: 3% of $100,000 = $3,000, so the new stop-out limit is $102,000 – $3,000 = $99,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

    Day 2:
    Starting Balance/Equity: $101,000
    Allowed Overall Drawdown: The stop-out limit remains at $99,000 as it is based on the highest balance of $102,000. If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

    Example 2: After Achieving 3% Profit
    Day 3:
    Starting Balance/Equity: $105,000
    Overall Drawdown: Fixed at $100,000 after achieving 3% profit (Overall Drawdown Limit becomes $100,000). If Either Equity or Balance reaches this limit, it would result in a breach of the Overall Drawdown Limit.

  • Simulated Funded Nitro X has a $5,000 performance reward cap per request.

    At each reward, you can withdraw 50% of your available profits, but never more than $5,000. Any profit you don’t withdraw simply remains in the account and counts toward the next reward.

    Example 1:

    $50,000 account: You make $12,000. You can withdraw 50% = $6,000, but the cap limits you to $5,000.
    $100,000 account: You make $10,000. You withdraw $5,000 (50% and at the cap).
    $150,000 account: You make $5,000. You withdraw $2,500 (50%, below the cap).

    Example 2:

    You have a $100,000 account.
    First reward: You make $10,000. You withdraw $5,000 (cap). Account becomes $105,000.
    Second reward: You make another $3,000, bringing the account to $108,000. Your available profit is now $8,000. You withdraw 50% = $4,000 (under the cap). Account becomes $104,000.
