# What Changes When I Move From Evaluation to Funded?



Four things change once you pass the evaluation and become funded:

1.  **A 40% consistency requirement applies.** No single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total profit. This keeps your gains spread across multiple days rather than relying on one outsized win.
    
2.  **A minimum of 3 profitable days is required.** You must record at least 3 qualifying profitable days before you become eligible for a payout.
    
3.  **The Profit Target no longer applies.** In the evaluation, your goal was to reach the Profit Target. On a funded account, your goal shifts to building a Profit Buffer and requesting payouts.
    
4.  **News trading becomes restricted.** A four minute restriction window applies around high impact news events (2 minutes before and 2 minutes after the release), whereas trading was unrestricted through these events during the evaluation.
