Profit target
The gain that closes a phase, as a percentage of the starting balance, measured on closed trades. VaultX: 1 Step 12%; 1 Step Pro 12%; 2 Step 10% → 5%; 2 Step Prime 10% → 5%; 2 Step Pro 5% → 8%; 3 Step 4% → 5% → 8%. Open profit does not count until the position is closed.
Daily loss limit
The most the account may lose in one trading day, checked on equity, so floating losses count. Touching it fails the evaluation at once and closes open positions. Routes: 1 Step 4%, 1 Step Pro 3%, 2 Step 5%, 2 Step Prime 5%, 2 Step Pro 5%, 3 Step 3%. Funded accounts at VaultX have no daily limit.
Example: a $50,000 2 Step account allows $2,500 of loss in a day. Two trades risking 1% each ($500) and a third gone wrong at 2% ($1,000) leaves $500 of room, and any open position is still counting.
Maximum loss (static)
The most the account may lose from its starting balance across the whole evaluation. Static means the floor never moves up with your profits. Routes: 1 Step 8%, 1 Step Pro 6%, 2 Step 10%, 2 Step Prime 10%, 2 Step Pro 8%, 3 Step 8%.
Example: a $100,000 2 Step Pro account has an 8% maximum loss, so the floor is $92,000. Run the account to $107,000 and the floor is still $92,000: a $15,000 cushion you earned.
Profitable days
A phase cannot close until the account has logged the required number of days that ended with a net gain, however small. VaultX: 5 profitable days on 1 Step and 2 Step routes, 2 / 2 / 3 profitable days on 3 Step. There is no other minimum and no maximum: the trading period is unlimited on every route.
Funded maximum loss
After funding the account starts at 10% of the evaluation size on VaultX Live, and the maximum loss is a share of that funded size: 1 Step 45%, 1 Step Pro 60%, 2 Step 35%, 2 Step Prime 50%, 2 Step Pro 60%, 3 Step 80%. The more room you want after funding, the more the route costs or the smaller its evaluation targets.
Profit split and payouts
80% of funded profit is yours on every route. Payouts can be requested multiple daily with a $20 minimum, once identity is verified. The firm keeps the remainder and carries every loss. Details in how prop firm payouts work.
Prohibited practices
The review after an evaluation looks for ways of beating the rules rather than the market: copying trades between accounts you do not own, group passing, latency arbitrage, exploiting bad price feeds, and trading an account that is not yours. Your own expert advisors and your own copier between your own accounts are fine. When in doubt, ask support before the trade, not after.
What a breach looks like
A breach is recorded with the exact tick or trade that caused it, open positions are closed, and the login stops working. You can read the record in your dashboard. Nothing is decided quietly: VaultX logs every rule decision its engine makes.
