Who this pathway is built for
Built for traders whose edge is strongest during the U.S. cash session.
This route suits traders who focus on liquid U.S. equities, manage risk intraday and finish every session with no open positions.
It works best for traders who understand intraday trailing limits and can execute their complete process inside regular U.S. market hours without forcing trades.
You trade best during the U.S. session
This route is built around large-cap U.S. equities, disciplined intraday execution and closing every position before the session ends.
You can execute within fixed market hours
The program suits traders who are comfortable planning entries, exits and risk within the regular U.S. session window.
You value consistency over one big day
The daily loss limit, profit cap, minimum profitable days and funded consistency rule all reward repeatable performance.
Add-ons are optional and selected at purchase. Percentages shown are additional to the base plan price. Availability and exact conditions are displayed before purchase.
From opening bell to funded progression
Four clear stages—from account selection to payout eligibility.
Choose the right size, pass the evaluation, move into funded trading and meet every condition for your first payout.
01
Choose your account size
Choose an account size that fits your experience, risk tolerance and ability to manage same-day exposure.
02
Pass the Evaluation
Reach the 10% target, stay within the hard-breach limits and record at least three profitable days of 0.5% or more.
03
Move into Funded
Once funded, keep trading within the risk framework and meet the funded consistency requirements.
04
Request payouts
After 14 days in the Funded phase, you can request a payout once all eligibility conditions are met.
The rules that shape the account
Know exactly how the account behaves before you commit.
The framework is clear: reach the target, stay inside the loss limits, respect the daily profit cap, complete the required profitable days and close every position before the session ends.
Profit target
10%
Applies in the Evaluation phase only. You must also satisfy the minimum profitable trading-day requirement.
Daily loss limit
2.5%
Intraday trailing drawdown. Breaching it is a hard breach in both Evaluation and Funded phases.
Daily profit cap
2.5%
Evaluation only. Exceeding the cap triggers a daily pause rather than a full account termination.
Max drawdown
3.0%
Closed-balance trailing drawdown. It locks at the starting balance once the account reaches a 3% return.
Minimum profitable days
3 days at 0.5%
This applies to both Evaluation and Funded phases. Hitting the target alone is not enough if the minimum-day requirement has not been satisfied.
Session closure
Flat by 15:55 ET
All positions must be closed before the session ends. No overnight exposure is allowed in this program.
Funded consistency
25% default
No more than 25% of total funded profit can come from one trading day for payout eligibility, unless you purchase a consistency-threshold upgrade.

Equities FAQs
Everything you should know before choosing an Equities account.
Review the key rules covering trading hours, drawdown, payouts, consistency and platform access before you begin.
Program structureHow does the Single Session Equities programme work?+
You trade a Single Session Equities Evaluation account and work toward a 10% profit target while respecting the Daily Loss Limit, Daily Profit Cap and Max Drawdown rules. If you satisfy the requirements, you progress to the Funded phase, where payout eligibility then depends on the funded rules, consistency requirement and minimum profitable trading-day requirement.
Platform and marketsWhat can I trade and which platform is used?+
The programme is built for S&P 100 equity products made available on the platform. Equities trading for this offering is currently available through GooeyPro only, with up to 2:1 leverage.
Trading hoursCan I hold positions overnight?+
No. This is a Single Session Equities programme. All positions must be opened and closed within the permitted session, and every position must be fully closed by 15:55 ET. Holding a position beyond that cutoff is treated as a prohibited-practice violation and results in a hard breach.
Risk rulesWhat are the main Evaluation rules?+
The main Evaluation rules are a 10% profit target, a 2.5% intraday trailing Daily Loss Limit, a 2.5% Daily Profit Cap, a 3.0% Maximum Trailing Drawdown and a minimum of three profitable trading days at 0.5% or more. The Daily Profit Cap is a soft breach or daily pause in Evaluation, while the Daily Loss Limit and Max Drawdown are hard-breach rules.
DrawdownHow does the 3.0% Max Drawdown work?+
The Max Drawdown trails your highest closed balance, not open equity. It begins 3.0% below the starting balance and moves upward when your closed balance reaches new highs. Once the account reaches a 3.0% return, the Max Drawdown stops trailing and locks permanently at the original starting balance.
Consistency and payoutsWhat is the 25% consistency requirement?+
In the Funded phase, no more than 25% of total profit may come from a single trading day in order to qualify for a payout. Optional add-ons are available at checkout if you want a higher consistency threshold.
PayoutsWhen can I request a payout?+
The first payout may be requested after 14 days in the Funded phase, and subsequent payouts may also be requested every 14 days, provided all payout conditions and programme rules have been met. The minimum withdrawal amount is $100.
