Treating the Rewards Account differently from the Evaluation
Common Mistakes · Market Rush Help Center
Passing the Evaluation Does Not Mean the Rules Change
A frequent mistake is assuming that once a trader reaches the Rewards Account, the pressure is gone or the rules become flexible. This mindset often leads to looser risk control, larger position sizes, or unnecessary trades.
The Rewards Account follows the same risk parameters and behavioural expectations as the Evaluation. Drawdown limits, daily loss rules, and trading discipline continue to apply without exception.
Why This Mistake Leads to Lost Payouts
Traders who treat the Rewards stage casually often give back profits quickly or breach loss limits while trying to “make the most” of the account. This results in the account becoming ineligible for payout, regardless of earlier gains.
How Consistent Traders Handle the Rewards Stage
Successful traders treat the Rewards Account as a continuation of the Evaluation, not a reward for past behaviour. They focus on preserving capital, maintaining emotional control, and executing the same disciplined process that helped them qualify in the first place.
