Rules, math, and decisions — in plain English

The most breached rule in the industry, so we show it with its numbers. Each program sets a percentage (for example 3% or 5%). At a fixed daily reset time — shown per program with its timezone — a snapshot is taken of the account's balance and equity. From that snapshot, the account may not lose more than the daily-loss percentage before the next reset.

Your dashboard shows daily loss used vs. the limit as both a percentage and a currency figure, with the exact snapshot time, so it is always clear whether a given trade lands inside today's limit or tomorrow's.

One program is different: Passline Prime has no daily loss limit at all. Where a program has no daily limit we display “None” and omit the daily monitor entirely, rather than showing a threshold that does not exist.

Programs also differ in what the daily percentage is measured against, and your dashboard states which basis applies:

• Fixed to the original account size — the limit is a fixed currency amount that never moves, however much the account has grown. Passline Duo and Summit work this way.
• The higher of day-start balance and equity — the limit is recalculated from the snapshot taken at each daily reset. Passline One works this way, as does the $6,000 Duo starter size.

Every daily-loss card shows the exact basis, snapshot values, the resulting limit in currency, how much of it is used, and the equity floor that would breach it.

Static limits are anchored to the starting balance: on a $100,000 account with a 10% static limit, equity may never fall below $90,000 — that number never moves. Passline One, Duo, Summit and Launch all use static maximum loss.

Trailing limits follow the highest equity reached: the floor rises as profits are made, and on our programs it locks at the starting balance once reached, so profit above that point grows your cushion. The dashboard always shows the current floor in currency, which peak it derives from, and when that peak was set. Passline Prime is our only trailing program — and it is the single rule that program has.

Some evaluation programs cap how concentrated profits may be: no single day's profit may exceed a set percentage of total profit. None of the programs we currently run impose a consistency rule— not in the evaluation stage and not in the funded stage. If we ever add a program that does, the exact percentage and the stages it applies to are shown on that program's page and on your dashboard before you buy.

Where a phase requires minimum trading days, a day counts when at least one trade is opened, and the requirement is per phase. Passline One needs just 2 days in its single phase; Duo, Summit and Launch need 5 days in each phase. Passline Prime has no minimum trading days at all. Your dashboard tracks the count against the requirement.

None. No program we currently run imposes a deadline per phase — the industry has largely dropped them, and so have we. Progress simply tracks against targets and limits for as long as it takes.

Linked purchases at the same program and size form a pursuit: one continuous attempt spanning as many tries as it took. The pursuit's fee base is the sum of every fee paid across all of its purchases — failed ones included.

While your cumulative withdrawals are below the fee base, you receive 50% of each withdrawal. From the point your cumulative withdrawals reach the fee base, you receive the configured long-term share — currently 12%, within the published 10–15% band — for the rest of that funded account's life. A single payout can straddle the threshold; when it does, the platform shows both legs of the calculation.

Passline does not additionally refund the program fee: your fees already come back to you in full through the 50/50 recovery stage above, so a separate refund would pay the same money twice.

The underlying provider's pass/fail, breach, and payout determinations are final and binding on Passline and on you. Every such decision appears on your account timeline as a relayed event — timestamped, attributed to the provider, and accompanied by the figures behind it. You never contact the provider directly; Passline is your single point of contact for everything.
