Zenit Funding is a fintech company specialising in the proprietary trading firm ecosystem. Our platform gives you access to a simulated trading environment with real market data, allowing you to demonstrate your skills without risking your own capital.

The Zenit journey unfolds in three phases:

• Phase 1 — Challenge (Evaluation): demonstrate your skills on the simulator.
• Phase 2 — Funded (Funded Account): trade in a simulated environment with real data.
• Phase 3 — Live (Real Account): access a real Zenit account if your trading is validated.

PLAN 1 - Classic Plan — Trailing Drawdown

1. Challenge Account Rules — Classic

The Challenge account is the first step of your Zenit journey. You must demonstrate your skills during an evaluation phase on our simulator before accessing a Funded account.

Classic Challenge Parameters

Parameter	$50,000	$150,000	$300,000
Monthly fee	$169	$399	$659
Profit target	$3,000	$9,000	$20,000

Trading platform	Included	Included	Included
Funded activation fee	$149	$149	$149
Funded reset	$649 (Classic & Expert)	$649 (Classic & Expert)	$649 (Classic & Expert)

Nachlaufender Drawdown

The Trailing Drawdown is a dynamic drawdown: it follows your account's positive performance upward, but never comes back down. Every dollar earned raises your minimum floor by the same amount. This drawdown is calculated in real time (intraday), not at end of day. If this threshold is reached, all your positions are liquidated and your account is closed.

Account	Max drawdown	Initial floor
$50,000	$2,500	$47,500
$150,000	$5,000	$145,000
$300,000	$7,500	$292,500

Example — $50,000 Account:

• You start at $50,000. Initial floor: $47,500.
• Your PnL reaches +$500 intraday → account at $50,500 → new floor: $48,000.
• This floor can never go back down, even if you lose positions afterwards.

Inactivity Rule & Challenge Account Renewal

There is no strict inactivity rule during the Challenge phase. The Challenge account is subject to a monthly subscription renewable at each anniversary date of account activation.

Min. daily profit

Es gibt bei der Challenge keinen erforderlichen Mindestgewinn.

Consistency Rule

Während der Evaluierungsphase gibt es keine Konsistenzregel.

2. Funded Account Rules — Classic

Once your Challenge is completed, you access the Funded account. You trade on a simulator with real market data. Your rewards for generating trading data (payouts) are paid out if you comply with all the rules below.

Classic Funded Parameters

Parameter	$50,000	$150,000	$300,000
Activation fee	$149	$149	$149
Max Trailing Drawdown	$2,500	$5,000	$7,500

Min. Auszahlung	$500	$500	$500
Maximum Auszahlung	$1,600	$2,750	$3,500
Trading platform	Included	Included	Included

Activation fee

To activate your Funded account, a one-time activation fee of $149 is required for all levels (50k, 150k, 300k). These fees cover maintenance and CME data feeds.

Safety Cushion

Before you can request a payout, you must first build a 'safety cushion'. This cushion corresponds to the maximum drawdown amount and must be maintained permanently on the account.

Account	Safety Cushion
$50,000	$2,500
$150,000	$5,000
$300,000	$7,500

Example — $50,000 Account:

• Your account reaches $54,100. The mandatory safety cushion is $2,500.
• Minimum balance to maintain to be eligible for a payout: $52,500.
• Maximum payout you can request: $54,100 - $52,500 = $1,600.

Minimum Trading Days

A minimum of 7 validated trading days is required before making a payout request. A day is considered validated only if the minimum daily profit is reached.

Min. daily profit

Account	Min. daily profit
$50,000	$150
$150,000	$450
$300,000	$650

Consistency Rule

The consistency rule ensures your trading is regular and balanced over time. It prevents a single exceptional day from representing a disproportionate share of your results.

Principle: no individual trading day may represent 30% or more of your total cumulative profits on the account.

How to calculate your allowed daily threshold:

• Calculate your total cumulative profits on the account.
• Multiply that amount by 30%.
• No trading day may exceed this result.

Example — $50,000 account, cumulative profits: $2,600
Allowed daily threshold: $2,600 x 30% = $780. You cannot realise more than $780 PnL in a single day.

Payout Amounts — Classic

Account	Min. Auszahlung	Maximum Auszahlung
$50,000	$500	$1,600
$150,000	$500	$2,750
$300,000	$500	$3,500

Payout Request Periods

Payout requests may only be submitted during the following periods:

• From the 1st to the 4th of the current month
• From the 16th to the 20th of the current month

A minimum of 7 validated trading days is required for any payout request.

Payout Processing Times

• Request validation: within 5 business days
• Effective payment: within a maximum of 15 days after validation

Trading During a Payout Request

You may continue trading normally on your account after submitting a payout request. Trading is not suspended during the processing of your request.

Profit Split

• 90% for the trader
• 10% for Zenit Funding

All payout payments are made exclusively via the RISE platform. No other payment method is accepted.

PLAN 2 - Expert Plan — End of Day Drawdown (EOD)

The Expert Plan is a new account category with an End of Day (EOD) drawdown, closer to what the competition offers, but with security locks designed to protect the firm at launch.

Key difference: in the Expert Plan, only the $50,000 account size is available. The drawdown is calculated end of day (EOD) and not in real time.

3. Challenge Account Rules — Expert

Expert Challenge Parameters — $50,000

Parameter	Value
Monthly fee	$49 / month
All-in pack	$115 / month (challenge + funded activation included)
Funded activation only	$149 one-time
Funded reset	$649 (Classic & Expert)
Profit target	$3,000 (6%)
Max Loss EOD	$2,000 (4%)
Daily Loss Limit	$1,000
Konsistenzregel	Best day ≤ 50% of total profit
Min. trading days	2 days
Max position size	5 minis / 50 micros
Simultaneous accounts	Max 5

EOD Drawdown — Expert Plan

Unlike the Classic Plan, the Expert Plan drawdown is calculated end of day (EOD) and not in real time. This means intraday fluctuations do not trigger liquidation: only the closing balance at the end of each session is taken into account.

Max Loss Limit: $2,000 EOD — If your account balance at session close drops below $48,000, your account is closed.

Daily Loss Limit (DLL)

The Expert Plan includes a Daily Loss Limit set at $1,000. If you lose $1,000 in a single day, trading is automatically blocked for the rest of the session.

Consistency Rule — Expert Challenge

No trading day may represent more than 50% of your total cumulative profit. This rule applies at the time of challenge validation.

4. Funded Account Rules — Expert

Expert Funded Parameters — $50,000

Parameter	Value
Drawdown type	End of Day (EOD)
Max Loss Limit	$2,000 EOD
MLL Lock	Locked at $50,100 once balance reaches $52,000 EOD
Daily Loss Limit	$1,000 hard
Payout impact on MLL	Payout does not reduce the MLL
Consistency / cycle	Best day ≤ 40% of cycle total profit
Simultaneous accounts	Max 3

MLL Lock Mechanism

Once your account balance reaches $52,000 at session close (EOD), the Max Loss Limit is permanently locked at $50,100. This means you can never lose your initial capital once this threshold is crossed.

The payout DOES NOT REDUCE the MLL: even after a profit withdrawal, the $50,100 floor is maintained.

Scaling Plan — Expert Funded

In the Expert Funded account, position size is restricted and unlocks progressively as your cumulative profits grow. The scaling plan is updated at the close of each session.

Level	Cumulative net profit	Max minis	Max micros	Daily Loss Limit
1	$0 → $1,999	1	10	$1,000
2	$2,000 → $4,999	3	30	$1,200
3	$5,000+	5	50	$2,000

If the cumulative profit drops below a level, position size is reduced at the next session. Progression works symmetrically both up and down.

Payout Conditions — Expert Plan

All 4 conditions below must be met simultaneously to request a payout:

1. 5 minimum trading days since the last payout request (or since account activation for the 1st payout)
2. All 5 days must be qualifying days: net daily profit ≥ $150
3. The account balance at the time of the request must be higher than the balance at the last request
4. The cycle consistency must be respected: best day ≤ 40% of total cycle profit

Payout Schedule — Expert Plan

Parameter	Value
Min. Auszahlung	$800
Maximum Auszahlung	$2,000
Absolute cap	50% of balance if lower than maximum
Profit split	90 / 10 from the first dollar
Minimum frequency	1 payout every 5 business days
Request validation	Within 5 business days
Effective payment	Within a maximum of 15 days after validation

Refund Policy

SECTION 4 - Live Phase — Real Zenit Account

If you demonstrate regular and consistent trading on your Funded accounts, our risk management team will analyse your trading in detail in order to offer you a transition to a real funded Zenit account.

Eligibility: the Live account offer is triggered after accumulating 10 validated rewards (payouts), across all phases combined, made in a simulated trading environment.

Option 1 — Validation to Zenit Live Real Account

If your trading is validated by the committee, you will receive a Live funded account with an authorised drawdown calculated based on your active and eligible Funded accounts.

Funded accounts example	Live drawdown
3 Funded $50k accounts	3 x $2,500 = $7,500
1 x $50k + 1 x $300k	$2,500 + $7,500 = $10,000
1 x $50k + 1 x $150k + 1 x $300k	$15,000

Option 2 — Non-validation

If your trading is not validated, you will receive a detailed explanation. You may continue trading on your existing Funded accounts, then resubmit your application after demonstrating improvement.

Consequences in Case of Failure

• If you reach the maximum drawdown on your Live account: you are no longer part of the Zenit Live team and cannot trade at Zenit Funding for the following 9 months.
• If your trading is not validated at the second internal analysis: your Funded accounts are cancelled and you cannot trade at Zenit Funding for the following 9 months.

Profit Split — Live Account

• 80% for the trader
• 20% for Zenit Funding

Early Live Transition

The Zenit Funding committee reserves the right to offer a transition to a real account before reaching 10 withdrawals, if a trader is deemed sufficiently performant and consistent. This decision is discretionary.
