One tipoff is that pretty much every firm out there —will not—
let you see the language of the funded agreement up front so you can evaluate whether it’s even worth the time , trouble and expense of trying to pass —-only to find out —after the fact— the fine print of the funded agreement which 99.9% of the time has BS in it that if you knew about before taking the evaluation you wouldn’t have even bothered signing up.
In the end it’s all about “gotcha” rules that are intended to trip you up at some point and fail
Remember that (in the fine print -if you take the time to decipher what it really says and means) virtually all of these firms (especially the futures firms) are going to make you trade a “funded” account with your own profits (as your cushion) in your “funded account” and they no longer provide any funding and you have to pay them a percentage.
as soon as your intraday balance gets to where your cushion end (the cushion that you provided—not them) then you have failed.
