This firm-only view ranks specific public tier/path units by profile fit, rule-derived difficulty, economic friction, and blockers.
Why this plan/path
This is a partial fit: $226 to first payout.
9 public evidence blockers still reduce confidence. Missing values are not treated as favorable.
Calendar estimate based on cheapest eval tier. Trading days x 1.4 to account for weekends.

News profits stripped on account loss
If your funded account is lost with a positive balance, profits from Tier 1 news trading and prohibited times are stripped before any return.
T1 news profits stripped
All profits from trading tier 1 data releases on funded accounts are confiscated. Unlike other firms that require you to be flat, Trade Day retroactively strips T1 news profits.
Metals temporarily restricted
Gold (GC), Silver (SI), Copper (HG), Platinum (PL) restricted since Feb 2026. Micro Gold/Silver limited to 4 lots.
2% price limit rule
Cannot trade within 2% of a CME price limit. Breach = account loss.
