Evaluation process

The FairTicks evaluation lifecycle begins when an eligible paid product creates a simulated Training Account. From there, the account can remain active, satisfy its Training requirements, pass, breach, expire where a practical expiry applies, use eligible lifecycle actions, or progress to a Qualified Account after a successful pass is processed.

FairTicks principle

Passing is not based on one headline number. You must satisfy the Training requirements recorded for the selected account, including Target 1, required Training Profit Days, Training Consistency where enabled, lifecycle eligibility, and all applicable hard-risk rules.

Evaluation journey at a glance

Stage	What happens	Possible result
1. Purchase	You choose an eligible paid Training model and account size.	A simulated Training Account is provisioned after the purchase is successfully processed.
2. Training	You trade inside the FairTicks simulated environment under the rules recorded for the account.	The account remains `ACTIVE` while it remains eligible.
3. Progress check	FairTicks evaluates Target 1, required Training Profit Days, Training Consistency where enabled, account status, and progression eligibility.	The account can progress to `PASSED`, or move to another lifecycle state such as `BREACHED` or `EXPIRED` where applicable.
4. Qualified generation	After an eligible Training Account passes, Qualified Account generation can be processed.	The source Training Account moves to `LIVE_ACCOUNT_GENERATED` after Qualified generation is completed.
5. Qualified / Straight stage	You trade the payout-enabled account under its own recorded rules and Performance Cycle requirements.	Payout eligibility can become available only after the applicable payout checklist is satisfied.

Simple lifecycle flow

Typical lifecycle

Purchase → Training Account created → ACTIVE

ACTIVE → PASSED → LIVE_ACCOUNT_GENERATED → Qualified / Straight Account

Alternative paths can include: ACTIVE → BREACHED, or ACTIVE → EXPIRED where an applicable validity period exists.

What is a Training Account?

A Training Account is the simulated account created for an eligible paid evaluation product. It contains simulated capital and the account-specific configuration associated with the selected product.

Depending on the account, that configuration can include:

Starting simulated capital such as $25,000, $50,000, or $100,000.
Target 1 and Target 2 where applicable.
Required Training Profit Days.
Training Consistency where enabled.
Daily Loss configuration where enabled.
EOD Maximum Loss configuration where enabled.
Intraday Trailing Drawdown where enabled.
Stop Loss and R-01 planned-risk configuration.
Contract availability and Maximum Exposure.
Validity and lifecycle configuration.
Reset and extension rules where supported.
Qualified payout-related configuration that can later be carried into the next account stage.
Profit-share configuration and applicable progression policy.

Account Snapshot

When the account is created, critical product configuration is recorded on that account. A later product-template update does not silently rewrite those account-specific values.

Read Account Snapshot for a detailed explanation.

Step 1 — Choose your account model

FairTicks currently uses four main paid Training families: Rapid, Classic, Discipline, and Instinct. Free Trials are separate testing-only accounts.

Account model	Main structure	Current standard validity	Training Profit Days	Core distinction
Rapid	Fast evaluation	15 days	3 days	No Daily Loss rule, EOD Maximum Loss enabled, and no standard reset or extension path.
Classic	Balanced evaluation	30 days	5 days	Daily Loss, EOD Maximum Loss, and 40% Training Consistency under the current standard structure.
Discipline	Structured evaluation	30 days	5 days	Daily Loss, EOD Maximum Loss, 40% Training Consistency, and account-specific planned-risk controls.
Instinct	Focused trailing model	No practical expiry	0 days	One current 50K structure, a $3,000 Training target, and an Intraday Trailing Drawdown rule.
Free Trial	Platform discovery	7 days	Not applicable to Qualified progression	Testing-only access. A Free Trial cannot generate a Qualified Account or payout eligibility.

Account-specific rules

The table above describes the current standard product structure. Use the selected product details and Account Snapshot for the exact configuration attached to a specific account.

What “No practical expiry” means for Instinct

Under the current standard Instinct structure, the account is configured without a practical calendar-expiry constraint for normal trader use.

This does not mean the account can never end. Instinct remains subject to hard-risk breaches, account status, compliance or operational controls, and other applicable lifecycle rules.

No practical expiry ≠ no lifecycle rules

Instinct does not operate with the short Training countdown used by Rapid, Classic, or Discipline, but the account can still leave ACTIVE for other valid lifecycle reasons.

Step 2 — Trade in the simulated environment

Once the Training Account is active, you can trade inside the FairTicks simulated environment. Each account follows the rules, contract structure, exposure configuration, and risk framework recorded for it.

During Training, FairTicks can track:

Target progress.
Realized trading PnL.
Open PnL and live equity.
Completed Training Profit Days.
Daily Loss usage where enabled.
EOD Maximum Loss state where enabled.
Intraday Trailing Drawdown state where enabled.
Stop Loss and planned-risk validation.
Contract use and Maximum Exposure.
Near-breach states.
Training Consistency where enabled.
Discipline Score and related behavioral analytics where available.

Visible account state

The FairTicks dashboard is designed to show the account's current risk state and progression so traders can understand the conditions being applied before reaching a hard account limit.

Training Consistency by family

Training Consistency is not enabled on every FairTicks model.

Family	Current Training Consistency
Rapid	Disabled
Classic	40% maximum best-day ratio
Discipline	40% maximum best-day ratio
Instinct	Disabled
Free Trial	Disabled

Instinct exception

Instinct currently has no Training Profit Day requirement and no Training Consistency requirement. It can satisfy its Training progression once the required profit target is reached and all other applicable account conditions remain satisfied.

Step 3 — Meet the Training pass conditions

A Training Account can move to PASSED when the applicable Training requirements have been satisfied.

Core pass conditions

Target 1 must be reached using the official FairTicks account result.
The required Training Profit Days must be completed when the account requires them.
Training Consistency must be satisfied when it is enabled.
The account must not have breached an applicable hard-risk rule.
The account must remain in a lifecycle state eligible for progression.
Any other Training-specific eligibility conditions recorded for the account must be satisfied.

Separate later-stage metrics

Account Discipline Score, Qualified Profit Days, Qualified minimum age, KYC, payout reserve rules, and other payout-specific requirements do not by themselves block the Training pass.

Profit target: what counts?

Training target progress uses the official FairTicks account result. Unrealized open-position profit is not completed target profit.

Open PnL is not completed target profit

A position must be closed and its result recorded as realized PnL before that result can become completed Training profit. Open PnL can affect live equity and risk while the position remains open.

Example — open PnL

Starting simulated capital: $50,000

Profit target: $3,000

Current realized profit: $2,700

Current open PnL: +$400

Live equity: $53,100

The live equity is above the target level, but the open $400 is still unrealized. The account is not treated as having completed the target solely because live equity temporarily exceeds it.

Training Profit Days

A Training Profit Day is not simply a calendar day on which a trade was opened. The day must satisfy the applicable Profit Day policy recorded for the account.

The completed-day count is compared with the Training Profit Day requirement stored on the account.

Account family	Current standard Training Profit Days	Training impact
Rapid	3 days	The account cannot pass before the required Profit Days have been completed.
Classic	5 days	The account must complete the required days in addition to satisfying Target 1 and Consistency.
Discipline	5 days	The account must complete the required days in addition to satisfying Target 1 and Consistency.
Instinct	0 days	No Training Profit Day requirement currently applies.
Free Trial	Not applicable to Qualified progression	Free Trial activity cannot create a Qualified Account.

Classic — target reached before required days

Account family: Classic

Required Training Profit Days: 5

Trader reaches Target 1 after three qualifying days.

The account has not completed all Training requirements yet. It still needs the required Profit Days and must also satisfy its 40% Training Consistency requirement.

Target 1 and Target 2

Some FairTicks Training Accounts can contain more than one target-related value.

Target	Purpose	Required for standard Training pass?
Target 1	Main Training pass target.	Yes
Target 2	Additional target that can trigger a separate product benefit where configured.	No

Target 2 is separate from profit share

Target 2 does not automatically recalculate the Qualified Account profit share. Where a current Classic product attaches another benefit to Target 2, that benefit follows its own product configuration.

What does not block Training pass by itself?

Some account metrics can be visible during Training even though they belong mainly to later-stage analytics or payout progression.

Metric or condition	Training pass impact	Main purpose
Account Discipline Score	Does not block Training pass by itself.	Can influence future cycle-specific payout Consistency when the applicable policy uses it.
Qualified Profit Days	Do not block Training pass.	Qualified payout progression.
Qualified minimum age	Does not block Training pass.	Qualified payout eligibility.
KYC	Not required for the Training pass.	Can be required later for payout.
Payout capacity / reserve	Does not block Training pass.	Determines later payout availability.

Training Consistency is different

When Training Consistency is enabled, it is an actual Training progression requirement. Under the current standard configuration, that applies to Classic and Discipline, but not Rapid or Instinct.

Step 4 — What happens after `PASSED`?

When the Training Account reaches PASSED, the Training pass requirements have been completed. Qualified Account generation is then a separate lifecycle operation.

PASSED is not the same as Qualified generated

A Training Account can show PASSED before the linked Qualified Account has finished being generated.

A typical passed-to-Qualified flow is:

The Training Account satisfies its pass requirements.
Its status becomes PASSED.
FairTicks processes Qualified Account generation.
A linked Qualified Account is created from the eligible passed Training Account.
The source Training Account moves to LIVE_ACCOUNT_GENERATED.
The trader continues from the new Qualified Account.

FairTicks can also generate evaluation-success documentation as part of the completed pass workflow. Certificate or email delivery is separate from the account's underlying pass and Qualified-generation state.

One source Training Account, one Qualified Account

The same Training Account cannot repeatedly generate new Qualified Accounts. Once its Qualified Account has been generated, the source account is moved to LIVE_ACCOUNT_GENERATED.

Bundles and Qualified generation

Some FairTicks purchases can group Training Accounts under a bundle structure.

Where the bundle is configured for one Qualified Account, only one eligible Training Account from that bundle can become the source of the Qualified Account.

Bundle example

Bundle contains Training Accounts A, B, and C.

Account B completes its Training requirements and is selected for Qualified generation.

Account B becomes the Qualified source account.

The bundle cannot then generate another Qualified Account from A or C under that same one-Qualified bundle lifecycle.

Read Bundles and Qualified Account generation for the bundle-specific flow.

Free Trial exception

A Free Trial is a testing-only simulated account. It is designed to let a trader explore the platform and applicable trial model.

The current standard Free Trial period is 7 days.

Free Trial does not create Qualified progression

Reaching a displayed Trial target does not convert the Free Trial into a paid Training Account, does not generate a Qualified Account, and does not create payout eligibility.

Read Free Trials for trial-specific rules.

Qualified / Straight account stage

A Qualified or other payout-enabled account stage is different from the Training evaluation. It uses its own lifecycle state and payout requirements.

It does not require the trader to repeat the same Training profit target. Instead, progression is governed by the payout-enabled account's Performance Cycle and eligibility rules.

Depending on the account configuration, payout eligibility can require:

The account to be in an eligible status.
No open positions.
The applicable minimum account age.
The required Qualified or Straight Profit Days.
Consistency where required.
Eligible realized profit.
Minimum payout amount.
Available payout capacity.
Applicable reserve requirements.
KYC when required.
Valid payout details.
No conflicting active payout request.

Training passed does not mean payout-ready

Passing Training makes the account eligible for the next applicable lifecycle step. Payout eligibility is evaluated later and separately on the payout-enabled account.

Qualified minimum age is family-specific

Under the current standard Qualified configuration, the minimum account age used for payout eligibility is not one universal number.

Family	Current standard minimum Qualified age
Rapid	7 days
Classic	10 days
Discipline	10 days
Instinct	7 days

The value recorded on the specific account remains the account-level reference.

Qualified Profit Days are also family-specific

Family	Current standard QPD requirement
Rapid	7 QPD
Classic	10 QPD
Discipline	10 QPD
Instinct	7 QPD

What happens if the account breaches?

If the account reaches an enabled hard-risk breach condition, it can move to BREACHED.

A breach is different from simply having a losing trade. It is an account lifecycle event.

The breach condition and associated account event are recorded.
Open positions can be closed through the official breach process.
The account status moves to BREACHED.
New trading is disabled for that breached account.
A reset can be available only when the account's reset policy and current lifecycle state permit it.

A breach is based on the recorded account state

A later market move does not undo an account breach that was validly triggered under the active account rules.

What happens if the account expires?

A Training Account with an applicable practical validity period can become EXPIRED if that period ends before the account satisfies its required progression conditions.

BREACHED vs EXPIRED

BREACHED means an enabled hard-risk rule was violated.

EXPIRED means an applicable Training validity period ended before the required progression was completed.

Expiration is therefore a lifecycle-time event, not a risk breach.

Instinct

The current standard Instinct configuration has No practical expiry, so it does not operate with the short calendar-expiration window used by Rapid, Classic, or Discipline.

Reset and extension during the evaluation

Reset and extension are separate lifecycle actions. Their availability depends on account family, account status, product configuration, and the eligibility recorded for the account.

Option	Purpose	General effect
Paid reset	Begin another Training attempt where the selected product supports a paid reset.	Applies the account's eligible reset lifecycle rather than continuing the previous failed attempt unchanged.
Free reset	Special reset path available only under the applicable free-reset policy.	Can create a new attempt while applying the lifecycle consequences attached to that free-reset rule.
Extension	Add evaluation time on an eligible account.	Extends the applicable account validity without acting as a normal reset of trading progress.

Not universal

Reset and extension are not available on every account family. Rapid does not use the standard paid reset or extension paths. Free Trials use their own separate trial-restart framework.

Review Reset Accounts, Extend Evaluation, and Unused Free Trial Restart for the specific rules.

Common account statuses

Accounts can move through multiple lifecycle states. The exact actions available depend on both the status and the account rules.

Status	Meaning	Typical effect
`ACTIVE`	The account is inside its normal active lifecycle.	Trading can be available if no separate block applies.
`COOLDOWN`	A protection pause is active.	New exposure can be blocked while risk-reducing actions remain available according to the platform rules.
`PASSED`	The Training pass requirements have been satisfied.	Qualified Account generation can proceed if eligible.
`LIVE_ACCOUNT_GENERATED`	The Training Account has already generated its linked Qualified Account.	The source Training Account cannot generate another Qualified Account through the same lifecycle.
`BREACHED`	An enabled hard-risk rule was breached.	Trading is disabled. A reset can be available only where eligible.
`EXPIRED`	An applicable account validity period ended before Training completion.	Normal trading is disabled. A lifecycle action can be available where supported.
`FROZEN`	The account is paused by an operational, risk, review, or compliance control.	Normal trading actions can be restricted.
`INACTIVE`	The account is not currently in its active trading state.	Trading or lifecycle actions can be unavailable depending on the reason.
`CLOSED`	The account lifecycle has ended.	Normal trading is no longer available.

Example timelines

Example 1 — Rapid Training passes

Rapid path

Day 0: Rapid Training Account is created.

Day 1: Trader begins using the account.

By Day 3 or later: The required 3 Training Profit Days have been completed.

Later: Target 1 is reached using realized account profit.

Result: The account can progress to PASSED if all other applicable Training conditions remain satisfied. Rapid has no Training Consistency requirement under the current standard configuration.

Example 2 — Classic reaches the target before completing all requirements

Classic path

Day 1: Trader begins a Classic Training Account.

Day 3: Target 1 is reached.

Completed Training Profit Days: 3 of 5.

Training Consistency: must also be at or below the active 40% maximum ratio.

Result: The account has not completed all Training requirements yet.

Example 3 — Instinct reaches its target

Instinct path

Account: Current standard Instinct 50K.

Target: $3,000.

Training Profit Days required: 0.

Training Consistency: Disabled.

Validity: No practical expiry.

Result: Once Target 1 is satisfied, the account remains subject to all other applicable risk and progression checks before the pass is processed.

Example 4 — Training passes but payout is not available yet

Passed is not payout-ready

Step 1: Training Account reaches PASSED.

Step 2: Qualified Account generation is processed.

Step 3: Trader begins the Qualified stage.

Step 4: Qualified Performance Cycle requirements begin to accumulate.

Step 5: Payout eligibility is checked only when the full payout checklist is satisfied.

Example 5 — Breach path

Breach path

Trader reaches an enabled hard-risk breach condition.

The breach event is recorded and the account moves to BREACHED.

New trading is disabled.

A reset can be available only if that account's lifecycle configuration permits it.

Example 6 — Expiration path

Classic expiration example

Account family: Classic.

Current standard validity: 30 days.

The account reaches the end of its applicable Training period without completing the pass requirements.

Result: The account can move to EXPIRED.

An extension or other eligible lifecycle action depends on the specific account rules.

Common questions

What do I need to pass Training?

You need to satisfy Target 1, required Training Profit Days where applicable, Training Consistency where enabled, and the other Training eligibility rules recorded for your account without triggering an applicable hard-risk breach.

Which models currently use Training Consistency?

Under the current standard configuration, Classic and Discipline use a 40% Training Consistency threshold. Rapid and Instinct do not currently use Training Consistency.

Does Rapid have Training Consistency?

No. Current standard Rapid Training Consistency is disabled.

Does Instinct have Training Profit Days?

No. The current standard Instinct structure requires 0 Training Profit Days.

Does Instinct expire?

Under the current standard structure, Instinct has No practical expiry.

It remains subject to all applicable hard-risk, account-status, compliance, and lifecycle controls.

Does Discipline Score block Training pass?

No. Account Discipline Score does not itself block the Training pass. It can matter later when a payout-enabled account uses Account Discipline-based Consistency.

Does open PnL count toward Training Target 1?

Open PnL can affect live equity and risk, but it is not completed realized Training profit until the position is closed and the result is recorded.

Is Target 2 required to pass?

No. Target 1 is the required standard Training pass target. Target 2 is an additional product target where configured.

Does Target 2 automatically increase my Qualified profit share?

No. Qualified profit share follows the account configuration and applicable lifecycle policy. Target 2 does not automatically recalculate that share.

How many Training Profit Days does Rapid require?

Current standard Rapid requires 3 Training Profit Days.

How many Training Profit Days do Classic and Discipline require?

Current standard Classic and Discipline each require 5 Training Profit Days.

Why is my account PASSED but I do not see a Qualified Account yet?

PASSED records the successful Training result. Qualified Account generation is a separate lifecycle operation and can occur after the pass itself has been recorded.

Can one Training Account generate multiple Qualified Accounts?

No. Once Qualified generation has been successfully processed from the Training Account, the source Training Account moves to LIVE_ACCOUNT_GENERATED.

Can a Free Trial generate a Qualified Account?

No. Free Trials are testing-only accounts and do not create Qualified Account or payout progression.

Can I reset or extend any account?

No. Reset and extension depend on the account family, account state, product configuration, and applicable eligibility rules.

Is payout automatic after Qualified generation?

No. The Qualified Account must separately satisfy its payout eligibility requirements, including its applicable Performance Cycle, QPD, age, Consistency, realized-profit, reserve, KYC, position, and other payout conditions.

Summary

FairTicks uses a structured simulated evaluation lifecycle. A paid Training Account is created with an account-specific rules configuration, the trader trades within those rules, and the account can pass once all applicable Training requirements are satisfied.

Under the current standard structure:

Rapid uses 15-day validity, 3 Training Profit Days, and no Training Consistency.
Classic uses 30-day validity, 5 Training Profit Days, and 40% Training Consistency.
Discipline uses 30-day validity, 5 Training Profit Days, and 40% Training Consistency.
Instinct uses No practical expiry, 0 Training Profit Days, and no Training Consistency.
Free Trial runs for 7 days and cannot generate Qualified progression.

Training pass and payout eligibility remain separate. After a Training Account passes, Qualified Account generation must be processed, and the resulting payout-enabled account must later satisfy its own payout checklist.

In one sentence

First satisfy the Training rules recorded for the account; then progress through Qualified generation and the separate payout-eligibility process.

Key takeaway

Training pass and payout eligibility are separate stages.

First complete the Training requirements recorded for your account. Then, after Qualified Account generation, satisfy the separate payout conditions before requesting payout.
