No minimum trading days. You can reach your payout target in any number of days as long as you meet the consistency requirement.
End-of-day trailing drawdown. The drawdown trails your end-of-day balance only.
90% / 10% profit split. You keep 90% of your payout amount.
The 5% profit target resets after every payout cycle.
Why traders pick Ignite: the lowest-cost instant funded account, one-time fee, simple rules and payouts as soon as you hit 5% profit with the consistency rule met.

Overnight trading and expert advisors or bots are not allowed.
All trades must be closed by 4:00 pm ET.
Minimum trade time is 10 seconds. See our prohibited trading practices for the details of the 10-second rule.
Payouts
First payout: available once you have achieved a 5% profit and met the 15% consistency rule. No minimum trading day requirement.
Subsequent payouts: each payout requires another 5% profit relative to the balance after your last payout.
You can request a payout as soon as you reach your consistency and profit target.
Minimum payout: $250. Profit split: 90% to you, 10% stays with the firm.
See Payout Requirements for worked examples.
Drawdown lock
Once your profits reach the drawdown amount plus $100, your trailing drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance and no longer follows account growth. This gives more stability as you scale. The lock also activates after your first payout.
Account size | Lock triggers at | Drawdown locks at |
$25,000 | $26,100 | $25,100 |
$50,000 | $52,100 | $50,100 |
$100,000 | $104,100 | $100,100 |
$150,000 | $156,100 | $150,100 |

Common questions

How is the consistency rule calculated? No single trading day should represent more than 15% of your total profit. This ensures steady, sustainable results before payouts. See the 15% Consistency Rule article.
