Whether you're taking on an evaluation challenge or already in a funded account, these rules will help you trade with confidence while staying within the limits.
The trading rules for evaluation and funded accounts are the same. However, funded accounts do not require a profit target.
Starting Wednesday, April 16, 2025 (EST), a new Consistency Rule will take effect for all new Forex evaluation purchases. This initiative reflects Tradexprop’s broader strategic vision: a stronger ecosystem built on trust, transparency, and consistent performance.
Applying the Consistency Rule
To pass the evaluation, your best trading day must not exceed 45% of your total profit target.
Consistency Score Calculation:
($4,000 ÷ $8,000) x 100 = 50%
To qualify for a payout, your best trading day must not exceed 45% of your total profits.
Once a payout is successfully processed, your best trading day and cumulative total profit will reset.
| Day | Profit for the Day | Cumulative Total Profit | Consistency Score | Payout Eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $500 | $500 | 100% | No |
| 2 | $500 | $1,000 | 50% | No |
| 3 | $500 | $1,500 | 33.33% | Yes |
| 4 | $2,000 | $3,500 | 57.14% | No |
| 5 | $1,000 | $4,500 | 44.44% | Yes |
Interpreting the Example:
This example illustrates a trader who becomes eligible for a payout on Day 3
after maintaining a Consistency Score of 33.33%. However, the trader chooses to
continue trading and earns a large $2,000 profit on Day 4, pushing the
Consistency Score to 57.14% — making them ineligible for payout at that
point.
By Day 5, with another $1,000 added in profit, the trader brings their Consistency Score back within the 45% threshold (now 44.44%), becoming eligible for payout once again.

🔗 Soft Breach vs. Hard Breach – Full Article
Your Daily Loss Limit is designed to protect your account from excessive losses. It is based on your previous day's balance and recalculates daily at 5 PM EST.
Example: If your account balance is $100,000, your max daily loss is 5% ($5,000). If you grow your account to $105,000, your limit adjusts accordingly, increasing your risk buffer as your account grows.
Maximum Drawdown (static) is a fixed percentage based on your starting balance, regardless of your account's growth. It remains constant throughout the account's lifetime.
Max Drawdown for Forex Evaluation:
X-1 Step Forex Evaluation: 6% drawdown limit
X-2 Step Forex Evaluation: 8% drawdown limit
Example:If your starting balance is $100,000 and your max drawdown is 6%, your account cannot drop below $94,000.
Additional Note:The Maximum Drawdown does not reset when you request a withdrawal.
