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.
