The Sapphire account is your evaluation phase. Pass the Sapphire to receive a Diamond funded account.
The Short Version
Hit your profit target over at least 3 trading days without breaching EOD trailing drawdown. No daily loss limit. No time limit. Just trade.
Profit Target
Varies by account size. Net of commissions and fees.
25K → $1,500
50K → $3,000
100K → $6,000
150K → $9,000
Minimum Trading Days
You must complete at least 3 trading days (days with at least one trade) before the evaluation can be passed. There is no maximum time limit.
EOD Trailing Drawdown
Your drawdown threshold trails up once per day at market close, based on your highest closing balance. Intraday dips that recover before close do not fail the account.
Daily Loss Limit
None. There is no daily loss limit during the Sapphire evaluation. Your only hard limit is EOD trailing drawdown at close.
Consistency Rule
No single trading day may represent more than 40% of total net profits. This is checked at the time of payout request — not during the session.
Minimum Hold Time
All trades must be held open for at least 2 minutes. Tick scalping and entries under 2 minutes are prohibited.
News Trading Rule
Close all open positions at least 2 minutes before scheduled tier-1 economic releases: FOMC, NFP, CPI, PPI, FOMC Minutes, and similar events.
Contract Limits
Do not exceed your account's max contract limit at any time. 1 standard contract = 10 micro contracts toward your limit.
Overnight & Weekend Holds
Allowed. Positions may be held overnight and over weekends. EOD drawdown calculates at each market close.
Automated Trading
Allowed. Your algorithm must respect all rules including the 2-minute hold time and news exit rule.
Resets
If you breach EOD drawdown, your account fails. You can purchase a reset to restart at the same size. All subsequent resets after your first are 50% off the standard reset price.
