Not in our data yet for the 50K plan: BluSky, Lucid, Tradeify. That means we have not sourced the figure, not that the firm has no such rule.

Each card quotes the firm's own wording and links its official page. Rules change; confirm on the firm's site before buying. Evaluations are simulated trading programs and most traders do not pass.
