Evaluation Account Rules (Simulated)

A minimum of 10 active simulated trading days is required to complete the evaluation and qualify for progression.

All positions must be closed by 3:10 PM CT

Goal: Reach the profit target defined by the selected simulated account.
Trailing drawdown remains active throughout the simulation and must not be exceeded.

Position size depends on the selected simulation plan. Multiple positions are allowed.
Standard and micro contracts are available (1 standard = 10 micros).
Full list of simulated instruments is available on our website.

No single day’s profit should exceed 30% of total simulated gains accumulated during the evaluation.

Performance Accounts Rules (Simulated)

  • The trailing drawdown continues until the safety buffer is secured:

    • Starter : $2,600

    • Pro: $3,100

    • Elite: $4,600

    • Once the buffer is reached and maintained, the drawdown becomes static.

A minimum of 10 active trading days is required on the simulated performance account before any withdrawal request can be submitted.

rofits earned on any single simulated trading day must not exceed 30% of the total simulated net profit accumulated since the beginning of the performance phase.

  • It is strictly discouraged to place trades solely to meet the required number of active trading days.
    During the performance phase, fewer than 5% of active trading days should consist of “flipping” — symbolic or very low-volume trades executed just to log a day.
    Deluxe Trader Funding reserves the right to suspend or revoke access to the simulated account in case of repeated violations.

During the initial simulated payout period, 100% of the profits are retained by the trader.
Subsequent simulated payouts follow a 90/10 split: 90% for the trader, 10% for Deluxe Trader Funding.

Once the simulated safety buffer is reached, the minimum withdrawal amount on the simulated performance account is set at $1,000. Requests below this amount will not be processed.

  • During the first 4 simulated distribution requests, the following limits apply:

    • Starter: max $1,500

    • Pro: max $1,750

    • Elite: max $2,000

Requests for simulated performance-based rewards may be reviewed periodically, typically toward the end of each calendar month. Processing times may vary depending on internal review and eligibility conditions.
