Account models overview
FairTicks gives traders four structured simulated trading evaluation models: Rapid, Classic, Discipline, and Instinct. Each model is designed for a different trading style, but all follow the same FairTicks philosophy: clear rules, visible risk, and earned progression.
The goal of this article is not to compare prices. It is to help you understand which account model fits your real trading behavior, your risk discipline, and the level of structure you want during the evaluation.
The four FairTicks account models
FairTicks account models are not only different by price or account size. They are different by structure, speed, flexibility, and the type of trader behavior they are designed to test.
Detailed pricing, account sizes, profit targets, loss limits, exposure limits, payout split, and exact parameters are shown on the FairTicks website before purchase and inside your dashboard after activation.
This article explains the model philosophy and main rule differences. Always review the exact account parameters shown before purchase and inside your dashboard. Those values are the official parameters for your specific account.
Rapid — built for speed
Rapid is the fastest and most direct FairTicks evaluation model. It is designed for experienced traders who want a short, focused challenge and are comfortable operating under pressure.
- 15-day fixed validity period.
- One required profit target.
- 3 required Training Profit Days.
- No reset.
- No extension.
- No Daily Loss rule.
- Max Loss rule is active.
- Stop Loss is optional.
- If a Stop Loss is used, it must remain within the official risk limit shown by the platform.
- FairTicks official PnL, exposure, market, and account rules still apply.
Rapid fits traders who already trust their edge, make decisions quickly, and want a short challenge without reset or extension safety nets.
Rapid is not the best model if you want extra time, reset options, or a more flexible evaluation lifecycle. Once the 15-day period ends, Rapid cannot be extended.
Classic — built for balance
Classic is the most balanced FairTicks model. It gives traders a structured evaluation with clear risk rules, enough time to trade properly, and more flexibility than Rapid.
- 30-day validity period.
- Target 1 is the required passing target.
- Target 2 may unlock additional benefits when available.
- 5 required Training Profit Days.
- Daily Loss rule is active.
- Max Loss rule is active.
- Stop Loss is optional.
- If a Stop Loss is used, it must remain within the official risk limit shown by the platform.
- Paid reset may be available if the account is eligible.
- Paid extension may be available if the account is eligible.
Classic fits traders who want a clear and balanced evaluation framework without going as fast as Rapid or using Discipline's process-focused structure.
On Classic, Target 1 is the required passing target. Target 2 is optional and is never required to pass. When configured and reached, it may unlock the activation-fee benefit displayed by the platform. Discipline does not use Target 2.
Discipline — built for control
Discipline is the most process-focused FairTicks model. It is built for traders who want a controlled evaluation path, repeatable execution, and access to its dedicated reset lifecycle.
- 30-day validity period.
- Target 1 is the required passing target.
- No Target 2.
- 5 required Training Profit Days.
- Daily Loss rule is active.
- Max Loss rule is active.
- Stop Loss is optional.
- If a Stop Loss is used, it must remain within the official risk limit shown by the platform.
- Paid reset may be available if the account is eligible.
- A one-time Free Reset may be available when all Free Reset conditions are satisfied.
- Extension availability follows the active Instinct template; a no-expiration configuration does not require an extension.
Discipline fits traders who want more structure and a framework that rewards repeatable trading behavior without requiring a Stop Loss on every position.
Discipline is mainly about process: Training Profit Days, controlled exposure, optional structured Stop Loss use, and repeatable execution. The exact numerical parameters for your account are shown before purchase and inside your dashboard.
Instinct — one size, one target, one trailing rule
Instinct is a focused 50K evaluation built around one required profit target and an intraday Trailing Drawdown rule. It removes the traditional Daily Loss and Max Loss structure and replaces it with a live equity-based boundary.
- One 50K account size.
- Long-duration validity according to the active Instinct template shown before purchase.
- One required $3,000 profit target.
- 0 required Training Profit Days.
- No Daily Loss rule.
- No traditional Max Loss rule.
- Intraday Trailing Drawdown is active.
- Stop Loss is optional.
- If a Stop Loss is used, it must remain within the official risk limit shown by the platform.
- Paid reset may be available if the account is eligible.
- Paid extension may be available if the account is eligible.
Instinct fits traders who want a long-duration evaluation, no Training Profit Days requirement, and one primary live trailing boundary instead of traditional Daily Loss and Max Loss rules.
Instinct Trailing Drawdown is based on official live equity and can move as the account reaches new equity highs. Review the dedicated Trailing Drawdown article and the exact values displayed in your dashboard before trading.

Training accounts and Qualified accounts
Rapid, Classic, Discipline, and Instinct are Training account models. An eligible Training account must complete Target 1, its required Training Profit Days, and every other enabled passing condition such as Training Consistency before Qualified generation can be processed.
Instinct is the exception to the Training Profit Days requirement: it requires 0 Training Profit Days and can complete Training once its required target and every other enabled passing condition are satisfied, provided that the account remains active and unbreached.
Qualified accounts then follow Qualified-specific rules, including payout eligibility, KYC, open-position payout checks, Profit Days, payout reserve rules, and the payout split attached to the account.
Passing a Training account does not mean instant payout. Payouts are only available on eligible Qualified accounts after all payout conditions are met.
Common questions
“Which account model is best for beginners?”
Classic is usually the easiest model to understand because it is balanced: 30 days, visible Daily Loss and Max Loss rules, 5 Training Profit Days, optional Stop Loss, and reset or extension possibilities when eligible.
“Is Rapid easier because it has no Daily Loss?”
Not necessarily. Rapid has no Daily Loss rule, but it is shorter, has no reset, and has no extension. Max Loss and official FairTicks PnL rules still apply.
“Can I reset or extend a Rapid account?”
No. Rapid is a fixed 15-day, one-shot model. Reset and extension are not available on Rapid accounts.
“Is Stop Loss required on Classic?”
No. Stop Loss is optional on Classic. If you use one, it must be valid and remain within the official limit enforced by the platform.
“What makes Discipline different?”
Discipline requires 5 Training Profit Days and focuses on controlled, repeatable execution. Stop Loss is optional; when used, it must comply with the platform's official limit.
“Does Target 2 mean I cannot pass with Target 1?”
No. On Classic, Target 1 is the required passing target. Target 2 is optional and may unlock the activation-fee benefit shown by the platform. Discipline does not use Target 2.
“Does Instinct use Daily Loss or Max Loss?”
No. Instinct does not use the traditional Daily Loss or Max Loss rules. Its primary breach boundary is its intraday Trailing Drawdown.
“Does Instinct require Training Profit Days?”
No. Instinct requires 0 Training Profit Days. It can complete Training after reaching its required profit target while the account remains active and unbreached.
“Can Instinct be reset or extended?”
A paid reset may be available when the account is eligible. Extension depends on the active Instinct template; if Instinct is configured without scheduled expiration, extension is not needed.
“Can a Qualified account expire?”
Qualified accounts do not use the Training account validity period. They still follow their Qualified account risk rules, lifecycle rules, and payout eligibility conditions.
“Where do I see the exact rules for my account?”
Your exact account size, validity period, loss limits, targets, exposure, Profit Days requirement, payout split, reset eligibility, extension eligibility, and other rule parameters are shown before purchase and inside your FairTicks dashboard.
Choose the model that matches your behavior, not only your ambition.
Rapid is for speed, Classic is for balance, Discipline is for process control, and Instinct is for traders who want one focused target under a live trailing rule.
