Overview: the Wall Street Funded programs

Wall Street Funded sells two-phase evaluations (Classic and Ultra), a two-phase plan with no daily limit that the FAQ calls Elite New, three one-phase evaluations (Rapid, Flash and Power, which runs on MT5 only) and two instant accounts (Instant Funded and Instant Funded Pro). Sizes run from $2,500 to $100,000 on most plans.

Targets: Classic 8% then 5%, Ultra 10% then 5%, Elite New 6% then 6%, Rapid 10%, Flash 2% and Power 6%. Instant accounts have no target. Evaluations need at least 4 trading days. The home page shows two price figures per size without saying which is the discount, so check the order form; on a $50,000 Classic the figures were $369 and $319 in October 2026.

The default split is 80%, and the scaling plan can raise it to 95%.

Rules that end the account

Most Wall Street Funded plans use a static max loss measured from the initial balance. The instant accounts trail.

Daily loss
Classic, Ultra: 5%. Rapid: 4%. Power and both instant accounts: 3%. Flash: 1%. Elite New: none. On evaluations the limit is measured from the balance at the start of the trading day, or from floating equity if a position is open at the reset. The reset moved to 17:00 New York time (4pm CT) on 10 April 2026. On instant accounts the FAQ measures the 3% against the initial balance.
Max loss
Static on Classic (8%), Ultra (10%), Elite New, Rapid and Power (6%) and Flash (1%): the floor never moves. Instant Funded trails 6% and Instant Funded Pro trails 5% below the highest balance reached, moving up only. The FAQ does not say the trail stops at the starting balance, and withdrawals do not lower the line.
Trading idea
Trades on the same asset in the same direction opened within 30 minutes are one idea, with risk measured from the widest stop. The cap is 50% of the daily limit on Classic, Ultra and Rapid, 2.5% on Elite New and 1% on the instant accounts, Power and Flash.
Stop loss
A stop loss must be on every trade within 2 minutes of opening. In evaluation a miss is a warning. On a funded account the first soft breach cancels the payout and can cancel the account.
Lot caps
Per size for forex, metals and indices: $10K 6, 1 and 10 lots; $50K 20, 4 and 40 lots; $100K 35, 7 and 70 lots.
Other
30 days of inactivity ends the account. Banned: high-frequency trading, trades under 60 seconds, grid, arbitrage, hedging, latency and reverse trading, tick scalping and copy trading between funded accounts. EAs are not allowed on the instant accounts.

Payout rules

  • First payout and cycle: Classic and Ultra 15 days then every 10; Rapid and Elite New 30 days then every 10; Power 14 days then every 14; Flash pays at once after passing, capped at the 2% profit, then every 15 days; instant accounts 15 days then every 10.
  • Profitable days on instant accounts: 4 days of at least 0.5% of the initial balance before a withdrawal. Power needs 3 such days.
  • Consistency: best day at most 30% of total profit on Instant Funded, 15% on Instant Funded Pro and 20% on Power. Total profit includes losing days.
  • Minimum: $100 on general payouts; instant accounts have no fixed minimum. The account goes read-only while a payout is processed, so close trades first.

News and weekend

The news rule applies to funded accounts only; evaluation phases are exempt. From 4 minutes before to 4 minutes after a red-folder event, you may not open or close trades on instruments tied to that currency. USD news covers EURUSD, GBPUSD and XAUUSD. A trade opened before the window and closed after it is allowed. A single violation deducts that trade's profit and leaves the payout available. No symbol may be traded during US elections.

Weekend holding is allowed on every program with no add-on.

Worked example: $50,000 Classic

Phase 1 target is $4,000 (8%). The max loss floor is $46,000 for the life of the account. If a day starts at $51,200 with no open trades, that day's floor is $48,640 (5% of $51,200 is $2,560). The trading-idea cap is half the daily limit, 2.5%, so about $1,250 at the start, and the forex lot cap is 20 lots. Two EURUSD buys opened 10 minutes apart with stops that risk $700 each are one $1,400 idea and break the cap.

On a funded Classic account the same numbers apply, and the first payout comes 15 days after the start.

How Proof tracks it

Pick the Wall Street Funded preset for your program and size. Proof keeps the daily floor on the 4pm CT reset, the static or trailing max-loss floor, the per-idea risk across trades opened within 30 minutes, and the 4-minute news windows on funded accounts. For instant accounts it counts profitable days of 0.5% or more and checks your best day against the 30% or 15% limit before you request a payout. The drawdown calculator and payout date calculator work the same numbers by hand.
