Flex model overview

Updated 2026-07-05
Quick answer

Flex plans (5K, 10K, 25K) use a single +15% evaluation target, 4% daily / 8% max drawdown, allow up to 4 open trades at a time, cap total risk across open trades at 2% of the funded balance once funded, apply the 20% consistency rule at payout, and pay a 90% trader split.

Flex is a separate challenge type — it is not a One-Step plan. The evaluation account and the funded account are the same size, so passing does not shrink or grow your capital.

  • Flex 5K — $69 fee · $5,000 evaluation → $5,000 funded
  • Flex 10K — $129 fee · $10,000 evaluation → $10,000 funded
  • Flex 25K — $399 fee · $25,000 evaluation → $25,000 funded
  • Single evaluation target: +15%
  • Daily drawdown 4%; max drawdown 8% (static)
  • Minimum 5 trading days and 20 qualifying trades (each ≥ 0.5% of starting balance)
  • Up to 4 open trades at a time — evaluation and funded
  • Once funded, total risk across all open trades is capped at 2% of the funded balance at a time
  • 20% consistency rule at payout
  • 90% trader profit split — the highest on EvalTrade
  • No payout during the evaluation phase
Worked example — Flex 5K pass-to-payout math
Fee paid: $69 → evaluation starts at $5,000
Pass target: $5,750 (+15%)
Daily drawdown floor at start: $4,800 (4%)
Max drawdown floor: $4,600 (8%, static)
Qualifying trade size: at least $25 (0.5% of $5,000)
After passing, a $5,000 funded account is issued
Funded risk cap: $100 total (2% of $5,000) across all open trades — e.g. one $100 trade or four $25 trades
Payout: $100 minimum trader share = $111 gross profit at a 90% split
Edge cases
  • Is Flex the same as One-Step?

    No. Both have one phase, but Flex has a +15% target instead of +12%, keeps evaluation size equal to funded size, and pays a 90% split instead of 80–85%.

  • How many trades can I keep open?

    Up to 4 at a time, in evaluation and funded. Once funded, the 2% cap is combined across those open trades, so stake-stacking can't push you past the limit.

  • Does the 2% cap apply during evaluation?

    No. During the evaluation phase there is no % cap, but total open exposure can never exceed the account's daily loss limit in dollars (4% of the starting balance).

  • Does the 20% consistency rule apply to Flex?

    Yes. At payout time, your largest execution cannot be more than 20% of qualifying funded profits.
