Not necessarily. Strong evaluation results show you have the skills — but funded account performance depends on maintaining that same discipline consistently over time under real payout conditions.
The evaluation identifies traders with a genuine edge. The funded account is where that edge is proven long term.
What changes when you're funded
A few rules that don't apply during the evaluation become active on your funded account:
- The 50% consistency rule applies to every payout request
- Your DLL follows your equity at each daily rollover
- Payouts and account management become part of your routine
The trading rules themselves — leverage, drawdown limits, prohibited practices — remain the same in both phases.
What happens if you breach a funded account rule
If any funded account rule is violated, your funded account is closed and your funded status is revoked. To trade again you will need to purchase and pass a new evaluation.
Past performance during an evaluation does not protect a funded account from a breach.
Frequently asked questions
- Does my evaluation profit carry over to my funded account? No. Your funded account starts fresh at the initial balance for that tier.
- Are the trading rules different on a funded account? The core rules are the same. The consistency rule and DLL equity tracking are the only additions specific to the funded phase.
- Can I get my funded account back without doing a new evaluation? No. A new evaluation must be purchased and passed to regain funded status.
