Complete Evaluation Rules by Account Size

This article states the complete evaluation parameters for every FPT Scale account size. It is the controlling operational rule for the evaluation stage: profit target, maximum loss, drawdown method, consistency, profitable-day requirement and position size.

FPT Scale is a simulated trader evaluation program. Balances, orders, positions, fills and profits inside an FPT account are simulated. FPT does not route customer orders to Polymarket, Kalshi or any exchange, does not hold customer funds and does not execute live trades for customers. Traders who complete the evaluation and satisfy the funded-stage rules may receive real, company-funded performance payouts.

This article is incorporated by reference into the FPT Scale Program Agreement at the version shown above. The full list of incorporated rules articles, with versions and effective dates, is published in the FPT Scale Rules Index.

1. Scope

1. This article applies to every FPT Scale evaluation account of $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000, purchased on or after the effective date above.
2. FPT Scale is a one-step evaluation. There is no second phase, no verification stage and no separate confirmation account.
3. Funded-stage parameters are stated separately in Funded Account Rules and Scaling Tables by Account Size.
4. There is no $150,000 FPT Scale account. Only the three sizes listed here exist.

2. The Evaluation Parameters

Every figure in the table is a binding parameter of the account it names. A rule that is stated as "None" is genuinely absent, not unpublished.

3. Profit Target

1. The evaluation is passed when the account reaches its profit target and every other rule in this article is satisfied at the same time.
2. The target is a net figure measured against the account's starting balance: $1,250 on the $25k, $3,000 on the $50k, $6,000 on the $100k.
3. Reaching the target does not by itself pass the evaluation. The five-profitable-days requirement in section 7 and the 40% consistency rule in section 6 must also be met.
4. There is no minimum or maximum number of calendar days in which the target must be reached. There is no time limit on an active evaluation account.

Worked example, $50k Scale: the account starts at $50,000 and passes its target the first time the balance reaches $53,000, provided consistency and profitable days are already satisfied. Detail is in Profit Targets.

4. Maximum Loss

1. Maximum loss is the total permitted drawdown on the account: $1,000 on the $25k, $2,000 on the $50k, $3,000 on the $100k.
2. Maximum loss is enforced as a loss floor — an account balance level that must not be reached or passed.
3. At the start of an evaluation, the floor sits one maximum loss below the starting balance: $24,000, $48,000 and $97,000 respectively.
4. Breaching the floor ends the evaluation on that account. The account moves to a breached status and can no longer be traded. See What Happens When an Account Is Breached.
5. Maximum loss applies to the account's value including open simulated positions, not only to closed results.

Full explanation: Maximum Loss.

5. EOD Trailing Drawdown and the Lock

1. The loss floor is measured against the account's end-of-day balance and trails upward as the account profits.
2. The floor moves up only when a new highest end-of-day balance is recorded. It never moves down.
3. Intraday profit that is given back before the day closes does not raise the floor. Only the end-of-day balance counts.
4. The floor stops trailing permanently once it reaches the account's starting balance plus $100. The lock levels are $25,100, $50,100 and $100,100.
5. After the lock, further profit does not move the floor. The floor is fixed for the remaining life of the evaluation account.
6. The lock level is above the starting balance, so an account that has locked its floor cannot fall back below its starting balance without breaching.

Worked example, $50k Scale: the floor starts at $48,000. An end-of-day balance of $52,100 puts the trailing floor at $50,100, which is the lock level, so the floor locks there. An end-of-day balance of $52,900 the following day leaves the floor at $50,100.

A full day-by-day table is in EOD Trailing Drawdown.

6. No Daily Loss Limit

1. FPT Scale evaluation accounts have no daily loss limit at any size.
2. A single day's loss does not breach the account by itself. The only loss constraint is the maximum-loss floor in sections 4 and 5.
3. The absence of a daily loss limit is a deliberate design decision for prediction markets and is not an omission. See Why There Is No Daily Loss Limit.

7. The 40% Consistency Rule

1. No single trading day may account for more than 40% of the total profit counted toward the objective.
2. During the evaluation, the objective is the account's profit target.
3. When funded, the same 40% test is applied to the total profit of a payout cycle.
4. The consistency test is assessed at the point the objective is claimed, not day by day in isolation.

Worked example, $50k Scale: the profit target is $3,000, and 40% of $3,000 is $1,200. A day that produced $1,500 of the counted profit would represent 50% and would not satisfy the rule. A day that produced $1,100 would represent about 36.7% and would.

1. The following is not yet defined and will be published in [The 40% Consistency Rule](https://help.fundedpredictiontrader.com/evaluation-rules/the-40-percent-consistency-rule) before launch: exactly how losing days, a mid-evaluation reset and a partially-completed payout cycle enter the consistency calculation.
2. FPT will not enforce an edge-case treatment against an account before that treatment is published.

8. Five Profitable Days

1. An evaluation requires five profitable days at every account size.
2. A day counts as a profitable day when the account's net profit for that day is at least the account's qualifying amount: $100 on the $25k, $150 on the $50k, $200 on the $100k.
3. A day with net profit below the qualifying amount does not count. It is not a breach; it simply does not count toward the five.
4. The five days do not need to be consecutive.
5. These minimums are the same as the funded stage's qualifying payout day minimums, so a trader learns one number and keeps it.

See The Five Profitable Days Requirement.

9. Evaluation Max Open Size and the Market-Volume Cap

1. Evaluation max open size is $1,000 on the $25k, $2,000 on the $50k and $3,000 on the $100k.
2. Independently, no position may exceed 5% of that market's trailing 24-hour volume.
3. The allowed position size is the lower of the two: account max open size, or 5% of the market's trailing 24-hour volume.
4. Orders that would exceed the allowed size are blocked by the trading system rather than accepted and later penalised.
5. Thin markets, markets in resolution and markets under a temporary restriction may be limited or unavailable.

Worked example, $50k Scale: in a market with $30,000 of trailing 24-hour volume, 5% is $1,500, which is lower than the $2,000 account limit, so $1,500 is the allowed size. In a market with $80,000 of trailing 24-hour volume, 5% is $4,000, so the $2,000 account limit governs.

See Evaluation Max Open Size and Max Open Size and Market-Volume Limits.

10. Markets, Timing and Simulated Fills

1. Polymarket and Kalshi market coverage is included on every account size. No add-on is charged and no trader is forced to choose one venue. The dashboard's default market source is Polymarket.
2. Simulated fills consider live market price and available liquidity. FPT does not promise a fill at a stale price, and any estimated slippage or price impact shown is an estimate and is not guaranteed.
3. Opening a position immediately before an explicit market expiration is restricted. The exact cutoff is not yet defined and will be published in [Market Expiration and Late-Entry Restrictions](https://help.fundedpredictiontrader.com/markets-and-platform/market-expiration-and-late-entry-restrictions) before launch.
4. FPT is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Polymarket or Kalshi. Third-party trademarks belong to their owners.

11. Account and Allocation Limits

1. A person may hold a maximum of five active accounts, counting evaluation and funded accounts together.
2. A person's combined allocation across all accounts may not exceed $500,000.
3. A person may receive a maximum of $25,000 in aggregate payouts per month across all their accounts. Whether that month is a calendar month or a rolling 30-day period is not yet defined and will be published before launch.
4. These limits are per person, not per profile or per email address. See Account Limits and Allocation Caps.

12. Conduct, Breach and Review

1. Every evaluation account is also governed by Good-Faith Trading and Prohibited Conduct, which is incorporated into the Program Agreement on the same basis as this article.
2. Breaching the maximum-loss floor ends the evaluation immediately and automatically.
3. Failing consistency or the profitable-day requirement does not breach an account. It means the objective has not yet been met, and trading continues.
4. Conduct breaches are handled through the review process described in Rule Violations and the Review Process.
5. A breached evaluation may be restarted by purchasing a reset. Reset fees are published in Pricing and Reset Fees.

13. Items Not Yet Defined

FPT publishes what is settled and says plainly what is not. As of this version, the following remain open and will be published before launch:

• The treatment of losing days, mid-evaluation resets and partially-completed cycles inside the 40% consistency calculation.
• The exact late-entry cutoff before a market's explicit expiration.
• Whether the $25,000 aggregate monthly payout maximum is measured on a calendar month or a rolling 30-day period.
• The exact clock time at which a trading day closes for end-of-day drawdown purposes.

No FPT document, dashboard screen or support answer will state a value for these before it is formally published in the article that owns it.

14. Versioning and Precedence

1. Each purchase records the version of this article in force at the moment of purchase.
2. A material change to an evaluation parameter applies to accounts purchased on or after its effective date. It applies to an existing evaluation only if the change notice says so expressly.
3. A non-material change — a typo, a clearer example, an added worked calculation — updates the last-updated date and nothing else.
4. Where this article and a marketing page appear to differ, this article and the Program Agreement control. Marketing pages and ordinary FAQs are summaries.
5. An unversioned support answer never changes a customer's purchased terms.
