What Are the Evaluation Rules?

Discover our evaluation rules and objectives

Written by Orianna F.

Both the Trader Career Path® and Gauntlet Mini™ require traders to adhere to a strict set of rules. Any deviation results in an evaluation failure, requiring a reset to continue. The core rules are:

  • Do not reach or dip below the daily loss limit.

  • Do not exceed the maximum position size (progression ladder) — this is a hard fail rule.

    This is a legacy rule that only applies to evaluations, LiveSim and Live accounts purchased before Nov 2, 2026. Evaluations, LiveSims and Live accounts following subscriptions purchased after November 2, 2026 have a fixed maximum number of contracts.

  • Do not reach or dip below the minimum account balance (EOD Drawdown).

  • Only trade during approved times

There is no minimum number of trading days required to pass. However, due to the 30% consistency rule, a trader will need at least four profitable trading days to complete an evaluation.
