After any approved payout the drawdown floor locks at the starting balance + $100 ($25,100 / $50,100 / $100,100 / $150,100) - a per-size value the single post_payout_effects.drawdown_resets_to field cannot hold. The 150K second-and-later cap is $4,500 per the Standard rules page and the live pricing widget; the summary payout-policy article still shows $4,000 and is stale.

Exotic & Special Rules
Payout
After the fifth payout on a funded account and a Risk Team review, the trader is moved to a Live account with a 90% split, uncapped daily payouts, no daily loss limit and no consistency rule - but news trading and hedging are banned there.
Source ↗Payouts are processed within 24 business hours or the trader receives an additional 10% profit share on that payout.
Source ↗Risk
Trading within 2% of a CME price limit is prohibited; limits are updated daily at 5:05 PM EST.
Source ↗Reserve is sold without a daily loss limit; one can be added at checkout as a paid add-on, acting as a soft breach. The firm publishes the add-on's price per size ($600 / $1,200 / $1,700 / $3,000) but not the resulting daily loss amount.
Source ↗Funded accounts start at reduced contract limits and scale up at $1,500 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 profit milestones, updated on the end-of-day balance; the tier drops again if the balance falls back.
