Where Futures Traders
Become Funded Professionals

All trading on Redline is SIMULATED — your evaluation and funded accounts are simulated capital on a CME-licensed dxFeed market-data feed. Orders go to a simulator, not to a live exchange or broker. Payouts are paid by Redline from real money, based on your performance in the simulator, per the 90/10 split (legacy accounts funded before June 7, 2026 at 6:00 PM Pacific use the prior 80/20). Redline is NOT a broker-dealer; you are NOT placing trades with your own capital and have no claim on real-market positions.

A prop trading evaluation is a simulated trading challenge where you demonstrate your trading skills. Pass by hitting your profit target ($1,375 for $25K, $2,750 for $50K, $5,500 for $100K, or $8,250 for $150K) while staying above your trailing drawdown (size fixed at $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000; the floor ratchets up with your highest closed P&L and never resets back down). No gambling or hedging allowed.

Reach your profit target while staying above the trailing drawdown at all times. No daily loss limit — only the trailing drawdown applies. Overnight and weekend holds are permitted. No minimum trading days to pass. No gambling, no hedging between accounts, no reckless trading.

Yes — evaluation accounts have a 25-day lifespan. An evaluation deactivates 25 days after purchase if it has not been passed. Pass your evaluation and get funded within those 25 days and the clock stops — funded accounts have no time limit. Instant Funded accounts skip the evaluation and are not time-limited.

Yes — overnight and weekend holds are permitted on both evaluation and funded accounts. The trailing drawdown still applies 24/7, including across overnight and weekend gaps, so manage risk on held positions accordingly.

No. There is no daily loss limit on any account size or account type. The only loss-limit rule on your account is the trailing drawdown ($1,000 for 25K, $2,000 for 50K, $3,500 for 100K, or $5,000 for 150K).

Same risk rules as evaluation: trailing drawdown is the only loss-limit rule (no daily loss limit), overnight and weekend holds are permitted. For payouts you need 8 trading days with 6 profitable days of $130+ each. Payouts: min $500, max $2,000 per cycle. Profit split: 90% you, 10% us. Payouts run $500 to $2,000 gross per cycle ($1,800 net after the 10% split), and you can request up to 50% of your accumulated profit per cycle. Legacy accounts (funded before June 7, 2026 at 6:00 PM Pacific) use a $1,500 cap, an 80/20 split, and may request up to 100% of accumulated profit.

After meeting the requirements (8 trading days with 6 profitable days of $130+), request payouts between $500 and $2,000 per cycle. Payouts processed within 24-48 hours via ACH (US), domestic wire (US), or Wise (international). You can trade for any number of days — just need those minimums met. 90% of the requested amount goes to you; Redline retains 10% per the trader agreement. Payouts run $500 to $2,000 gross per cycle ($1,800 net after the 10% split), and you can request up to 50% of your accumulated profit per cycle. Legacy accounts (funded before June 7, 2026 at 6:00 PM Pacific) use a $1,500 cap, an 80/20 split, and may request up to 100% of accumulated profit.

Yes. International payouts go out via Wise, which converts to your local currency and deposits to your bank. You provide your Wise login email; funds settle in 1-3 business days. Same $500 minimum, $2,000 maximum, 90/10 split as US payouts (legacy accounts funded before June 7, 2026 at 6:00 PM Pacific: $1,500 maximum, 80/20).

DeepCharts is included free with every account — in-browser charts and order entry, on our CME-licensed dxFeed data. Your provisioning email has the credentials. If you want L2 / Depth-of-Market, upgrade to Deepdom for $50/mo from your dashboard → Upgrades. The CME market-data agreement is signed once on DeepCharts before live prices flow.

No — that "API: 500" message is NOT an error and you can ignore it. Look to the LEFT side of your screen: DeepCharts Web has already loaded and is ready to trade. The 500 banner is a harmless quirk of the post-signature redirect, not a real failure. Click into DeepCharts on the left panel and start trading as normal.

Pick NON-PROFESSIONAL unless you genuinely qualify as a professional under CME's definition. Having taken a few prop-firm payouts does NOT make you a professional trader. CME considers you Professional only if you are: (1) registered with the SEC, CFTC, or a comparable foreign regulator, (2) employed by a bank, broker-dealer, hedge fund, or financial firm in a trading capacity, or (3) trading on behalf of a corporate entity. If none of that applies, you are Non-Professional — period. Picking Professional by mistake triggers much higher CME market-data fees on your account and the change is a slow, manual reversal. When in doubt: Non-Professional.

You can copy trades between your own Redline accounts using Volumetrica's built-in copy trading or third-party tools like TradeSyncer. However, following or copying another person's trades — via signal services, trade rooms, or copy trading software connected to external sources — is strictly prohibited and will result in payout denial.

A maximum of 5 active funded accounts per trader at any one time. Evaluation accounts in progress are not counted toward this cap — only funded accounts. All accounts must be under the same verified identity. No hedging between your own accounts.

Optional paid add-ons for your account. Each one adjusts a specific rule to fit how you actually trade — activated per account, anytime. They are never required.

Active evaluation and funded accounts. Instant-funded accounts are not eligible for Powerups.

It stands down one specific payout-conduct rule on your next payout, so that payout is not flagged for that behavior. Conduct waivers are single-use: once your next payout is evaluated the waiver is spent — whether or not that rule came up — and you buy it again to cover another payout. It does not waive your drawdown, profit target, or trading-day requirements, it only ever covers the one rule you bought, and it never excuses fraud or market manipulation.

One. A conduct waiver covers a single payout. After that payout is evaluated the waiver is spent and the slot frees up, so you can buy the same waiver again to cover your next payout. (Balance Boost and Profit Bonus are different — Balance Boost is repeatable while in drawdown, and Profit Bonus stays active on the account.)

Per purchase, per account, ranging from $300 to $1,000 depending on the waiver. Each conduct-waiver purchase covers one payout. Balance Boost is priced per $100 added; Profit Bonus pricing is announced at launch.
