Scaling Plan
QT Funded offers a Scaling Plan designed to increase both account size and profit share over time. The program advertises capital growth up to $2,000,000 and profit share boosts up to 90%, starting from a base 80% split.
Eligibility is based on performance over eight consecutive weeks, including: (1) at least 10% total net profit, (2) a minimum of three payouts within the same 8-week window, and (3) ending the final cycle in profit. QT Funded also highlights a $400,000 max allocation framework while traders scale.
Daily Loss Limit
Maximum Daily Loss
Daily loss limits are program-specific:
- QT PRIME: 4% daily drawdown fixed to the initial balance (does not change with profits).
- QT POWER: daily drawdown is based on End-of-Day (EOD) equity; 3% on legacy rulesets and 4% for accounts issued after 9 Apr 2025.
- QT INSTANT: 3% daily drawdown fixed to the initial account balance (does not change with profits).
Breaching the daily limit is treated as a hard breach on funded stages.
Maximum Overall Loss
Maximum Overall Loss
Overall drawdown limits differ by plan:
- QT PRIME: 10% maximum drawdown (static, based on initial balance).
- QT POWER: 8% maximum loss limit (based on initial balance).
- QT INSTANT: 6% maximum drawdown that trails the highest recorded balance or floating equity (high-water mark). (Some operational details—such as whether trailing drawdown locks at starting balance after withdrawal—depend on the account’s issue date.)
Drawdown Model
Drawdown Model
QT Funded uses a mix of static and trailing drawdown models:
- Static drawdown: QT PRIME (10% max loss) and QT POWER (8% max loss) use static overall drawdown anchored to the initial balance.
- Trailing drawdown: QT INSTANT uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown from the highest recorded balance/equity, paired with a fixed 3% daily drawdown.
