Glossary of Key Terms

Short definitions of the terms used across our Help Center.

PACE / FLASH / LITE: our one-phase evaluation accounts. Pass one, and you get a funded account.

Instant PRO: a funded account with no evaluation.

Funded account: the simulated account you trade after passing, with a 90/10 profit split.

Profit target: the profit needed to pass – 6% of the account size.

EOD trailing drawdown: the maximum loss allowed. It follows your highest end-of-day balance and locks once you’re far enough in profit.

Daily loss limit: the most you can lose in one day. On PACE, FLASH and LITE, hitting it stops trading for that session. On Instant PRO it’s a soft guideline.

Consistency rule: limits how much of your total profit can come from your best day.

Winning / profitable day: a day that closes above the minimum profit for your account size. Used for PACE and LITE payouts.

Qualifying day: on Instant PRO, a day closing with at least $150 net profit.

Buffer: profit that must stay in the account and can’t be withdrawn (FLASH, LITE, Instant PRO).

Payout cap: the most you can withdraw in a single request.

Activation fee: a one-time fee paid when you pass. Only LITE has one.

Reset: restarts a failed evaluation. Reactivation: restores a breached funded account.

KYC: identity verification – via Sumsub after your first purchase, and via Rise before your first payout.

Rise: our payout provider. Your Rise email must match your Shark Futures email.
