Simulated accounts and real payouts

Evals and funded accounts use simulated funds. Eligible funded performance can earn real payouts under the program rules. Live-account access requires separate review, approval, and terms.

One-time fees and a 90/10 payout split

Accounts have a one-time purchase fee, no monthly subscription, and no funded activation fee. Eval resets are separate purchases. Evals have no completion deadline, subject to the inactivity rule.

All four plans pay 90% to the trader and 10% to Boxcar on approved payouts. The minimum request is $500; each plan has its own qualification rules and limits.

Prime, Flex, and Payout offer an optional Daily Loss Limit at purchase for a lower account price.

Compare the four Boxcar programs

Each program offers $25K, $50K, $100K, and $150K simulated starting balances. The key differences are drawdown, consistency, position limits, and payout eligibility.

Eval

BoxcarPrime

No Eval consistency requirement. A one-day pass is possible if you meet the profit target and trading rules.

  • EOD drawdown in Eval and funded
  • Full funded position limits
  • 40% funded consistency; payout goal and buffer apply

Eval

BoxcarFlex

No funded consistency requirement or payout buffer. Funded position limits grow with account profit.

  • EOD drawdown; 40% Eval consistency, or 50% with a cushion (52% ceiling)
  • Five qualifying profit days for a payout
  • Payouts limited to 50% of remaining account profit and the size-based cap

Eval

BoxcarPayout

Daily payout requests when balance, buffer, and account requirements are met. Daily eligibility does not promise same-day payment.

  • Funded drawdown is always intraday
  • No funded consistency; funded news restrictions apply

Straight-to-Funded
