The 9% max loss is static and never trails. Each funded profitable day requires a 0.5% net gain on the initial balance. Challenge fee refunds were withdrawn on 5 February 2026: 'New 1-Step, 2-Step and 2-Step "PLUS" challenge accounts will no longer be eligible for a challenge fee refund on the first payout.' Instant Funding and Instant Prime never carried one, and Nova's activation fees are stated to be non-refundable. The $300K minimum withdrawal ($9,000) applies the firm’s own stated 3%-of-profit rule; its published "$150–$4,500 by size" range only illustrates the $5K–$150K tiers. First-payout timing is set to 14 days to match its own bi-weekly cadence and its 14-day-cadence siblings; the firm never states it explicitly. | |||

Requesting a payout locks the drawdown at the funded starting balance, after which it no longer trails. There is no per-request dollar cap; the binding ceiling is the firm-wide $25,000 per rolling 30 days across all accounts. Challenge fee refunds were withdrawn on 5 February 2026: 'New 1-Step, 2-Step and 2-Step "PLUS" challenge accounts will no longer be eligible for a challenge fee refund on the first payout.' Instant Funding and Instant Prime never carried one, and Nova's activation fees are stated to be non-refundable. Consistency is the firm's Equity Stability Score: (largest winning day + largest losing day as an absolute value) ÷ total profit × 100 must be 20% or lower, stored as {"rule":"ess","pct":20}. The funded drawdown follows highest equity per the dedicated NOVA Max Drawdown Rule article. First-payout timing is set to 14 days to match its own cadence; the firm never states it. The funded 3% daily loss limit appears only on the live pricing table — no NOVA article mentions it, and the Account Overview states there is none — and its breach severity is set to hard to match every other Top One Trader product. | ||
