TradingPLUS $25,000 Account: Full Review and Everything You Need to Know
The $25,000 account is the most popular starting point for serious TradingPLUS traders.

What the Rules Mean in Practice
The Profit Targets
Step 1 asks for $2,500 in profit — 10% of a $25,000 account. Step 2 drops to $1,500 (6%). The lower second-phase target exists because the firm already knows you can trade profitably after Step 1. Step 2 is confirmation, not a new test.
At 1% risk per trade ($250) with a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, reaching $2,500 in Step 1 requires ten net winning trades. Across the five-session minimum, that's two wins per day net — consistent and achievable without forcing anything.
The Daily Loss Limit
You cannot lose more than $1,250 in a single trading day. At 1% risk per trade, that's five consecutive losses before the limit activates. This is a meaningful safeguard — it stops a bad morning from becoming a session that threatens the challenge. The limit resets daily.
The Maximum Loss (Drawdown)
Your account balance can never fall below $22,500. That's a $2,500 cushion from the starting balance. At 1% risk per trade, ten consecutive losing trades with no winners would hit exactly this floor. Proper position sizing is what keeps normal losing streaks from ending the account.
No Time Limit
Both phases run until you're done — no deadline, no calendar pressure. The only constraints are hitting the profit target, staying within the risk rules, and completing five trading days minimum per phase. Swing traders in particular benefit from this structure.
The refundable fee is worth noting. On the funded account stage, the $249 challenge fee is returned to you. It's not a cost you absorb permanently — it's a deposit that comes back once you're through the evaluation.
The Income Potential on the Funded Account
Once funded, the profit target disappears. You trade, generate returns, and withdraw your share at the agreed split.
- At 3% monthly return (conservative): $750 gross. At 80% split, $600 to you.
- At 5% monthly return (strong month): $1,250 gross. At 80% split, $1,000 to you.
- Risk per trade at 1%: $250 — meaningful enough to stay focused, manageable enough not to affect decisions.
- Daily loss buffer: $1,250 — enough room to absorb normal losing sessions without constant account pressure.
Who This Account Is Actually Built For
The $25,000 account suits you if:
- You've tried the $10,000 tier and found the $100-per-trade risk too small to be psychologically meaningful
- You want a monthly income potential that feels proportionate to the time and skill involved
- You're building a track record before scaling to $50,000 or higher
- Your strategy operates comfortably at $250 per trade risk without the dollar exposure affecting your decisions
It's probably not the right fit if:
- You haven't yet traded a live evaluation account at any tier — start with the $10,000 first
- You're still testing a strategy that isn't consistently profitable — the $249 fee is better preserved until the strategy is proven
