Do I need to pass an evaluation?

Instant access without a challenge

You do not need to pass an evaluation to use an Instant Account. Once its purchase payment is verified, the account is issued with its purchased simulated starting size. There is no evaluation profit target to complete first.

This is different from the Evaluation route, which requires 10% net realized profit while respecting 6% static maximum loss and 3% UTC daily equity loss. Passing that route creates a separate fresh funded account.

Instant Account rules

Instant Accounts have 4% static maximum equity loss, no separate daily loss limit and no consistency requirement. Eligible net performance profit uses a 95% trader share. Daily payout requests are supported, subject to the published payout process and eligibility checks.

No evaluation does not mean no rules. Equity can breach the maximum-loss threshold while a trade is open. Entry/exit commissions, funding and payout reservations also affect the account balance. Hedging and automated bots/EAs remain prohibited, and account limits still apply.

What you are buying

An Instant purchase buys simulated trading access, not ownership of the headline account size. For example, buying a $5,000 account does not create a $5,000 withdrawable cash balance. Only eligible performance profit can support a funded-account payout request.

Choose the appropriate route

Compare the live Instant and Evaluation pages for current prices, starting sizes and terms. If you want to learn the terminal without making a purchase, use the demo account where available. A demo cannot pay performance payouts.

If you already bought an evaluation, selecting an Instant plan does not turn the existing evaluation into an Instant Account. Each purchase and account has its own records. Ask support about the correct product before paying again if you are unsure which route you selected.
