\nStandard MAX accounts skip the Exhibition stage entirely. The trader passes the evaluation (minimum 5 winning days required), then receives the funded account directly. The buffer is built inside the funded account. Standard MAX accounts use End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown and include a Daily Loss Limit (DLL) soft breach in both evaluation and funded phases.
\nWhat Is a 'Winning Day' in Standard MAX Evaluation?
\nTo pass the Standard MAX evaluation, a trader must complete 5 winning days. A winning day requires that the account's net profit at the end of the trading session is at or above the following thresholds:
\n\n\n| Account Size | \nMinimum Daily Net P&L for a Winning Day | \n
\n\n| $25,000 | \n$100 | \n
\n\n| $50,000 | \n$150 | \n
\n\n| $100,000 | \n$200 | \n
\n\n| $150,000 | \n$250 | \n
\n\n| $250,000 | \n$300 | \n
\n
\n| IMPORTANT: Net profit is measured at the END of the trading session (4:50 PM EST flat), not at any intraday peak.\nA day where you were up $200 intraday but closed at $80 net does NOT count as a winning day for a $25K account. |
|---|
\nDaily Loss Limit (DLL): Standard MAX
\nStandard MAX accounts include a DLL soft breach in both evaluation and funded accounts.
\n\n- When you hit the DLL, your account is automatically locked out for the remainder of that trading session.
\n- All open positions are flattened automatically.
\n- This does NOT mean your account is failed or blown: it is a session lockout only.
\n- Trading resumes at the start of the next trading session (6:00 PM EST).

\nStandard MAX Funded Account Rules
\n\n- No Exhibition stage: buffer built inside the funded account
\n- Drawdown Type: EOD (End of Day), same as evaluation
\n- Daily Loss Limit: Same soft breach DLL as evaluation (session lockout, not account failure)
\n- Consistency Rule: 40%
\n- Buffer Amount: Equal to the account's EOD drawdown from the evaluation (e.g., $2,000 for a 50K account)
\n- To withdraw, ALL of the following must be met simultaneously:
\n- 1. Buffer amount fully built
\n- 2. Account consistency is within 40%
\n- 3. Account balance is at least $500 ABOVE the buffer level
\n- Payout Frequency: Same-day once eligible
\n
\n| STANDARD MAX: NO EXHIBITION STAGE\nUnlike OG accounts, there is NO exhibition step between evaluation and funding for MAX accounts.\nYou build your buffer directly in your funded account. You cannot withdraw until the buffer is built AND all other eligibility conditions are met. |

","summary":"Standard MAX accounts allow traders to skip the Exhibition stage and receive funding directly after passing evaluation, which requires 5 winning days with net profits measured at End-of-Day (4:50 PM EST) that meet account-size-specific thresholds. The funded account includes a Daily Loss Limit soft breach that locks the account for the remainder of the trading session upon breach, with trading resuming the next day at 6:00 PM EST, and this does not constitute account failure. Withdrawals require the buffer to be fully built, consistency maintained at 40%, and account balance to be at least $500 above the buffer level. The buffer amount equals the EOD drawdown from the evaluation phase, and payouts are processed same-day once all eligibility conditions are met simultaneously.","labels":[],"folderId":"08e634d7-715d-4252-9b07-f756b9d43728","isPublished":true,"isPromoted":false,"sourceUrl":null,"updatedAt":"2026-10-08T19:59:50.875Z","path":[{"id":"bd129314-1179-4851-9563-92230fbac4ad","slug":"account-types-and-pricing","title":"Account Types and Pricing"},{"id":"08e634d7-715d-4252-9b07-f756b9d43728","slug":"article-2-3-standard-max-accounts-full-specifications","title":"Article 2.3: Standard MAX Accounts (Full Specifications)"}]}}}
