Choose your Eval setup

Choose EOD or intraday drawdown, a Daily Loss Limit setting, and 40% (default) or 50% consistency. All three choices are fixed after purchase. Intraday drawdown and adding a DLL each reduce the purchase price.

To pass, reach the profit target and meet your selected consistency rule: your largest profitable day may be up to 40% of total Eval net profit for the 40% option, or 52% for the 50% option, which includes a 2-percentage-point cushion. The loss and trading rules still apply.

Funded drawdown is always intraday

The funded account always uses intraday drawdown—even if you chose EOD for the Eval. It follows the highest balance in real time, including open-position profit. Funded accounts have no consistency requirement or position-scaling plan.

Your purchased DLL choice carries into funded. When selected, it remains the fixed size-based amount in the table; it does not convert to a percentage-of-profit DLL.

Daily payout eligibility

You can request a payout each day that the account meets its rules. The cycle must be net positive and the payout must leave the buffer below intact. There is no separate per-request cap above that buffer. The minimum request is $500.

News restriction on funded accounts

Be flat from one minute before until one minute after high-impact USD news events. Violating this restriction breaches a BoxcarPayout funded account. This special restriction does not apply to the Payout Eval.

Payout basics

The minimum payout request is $500. The profit split is 90% to you and 10% to Boxcar. Meet every condition for your plan before requesting a payout; reaching a profit target alone is not enough.

Path to live

Payout uses performance-based live review, not a fixed payout count. Reaching the daily-profit threshold above triggers a review; the risk team may also review significant lifetime payouts or other performance.

At transition, profit above the retained buffer can qualify for a payout after broker identity verification and live subaccount approval. The cap is $15,000 total across your BoxcarPayout accounts, with the usual 90/10 split. The buffer supports live drawdown; it and profit above the cap cannot be withdrawn. The settlement uses the prior trading day's closing balance.
