Not in our data yet for the 50K plan: Apex, FTMO, Lucid, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader. 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.
