Three genuinely different risk shapes, not just a price ladder
Standard and Elite share the same 8%/5% targets, but Elite trades a tighter daily limit (4% vs 5%) for a wider total budget (10% static vs 8% static). Pro asks for more upfront (10% Step 1) in exchange for a trailing 10% ceiling that resets on payout, the only Two-Step variant with a trailing max drawdown. Pro also drops the minimum-days requirement during evaluation entirely, then reintroduces it at 5 days once funded, the opposite ordering from Standard and Elite, which apply their 3-day requirement uniformly.

Holding an overnight gain can consume your entire daily allowance
All three variants calculate the daily floor the same way: at 00:00 UTC, the firm checks whichever is higher, account balance or equity, then subtracts the daily percentage of the initial balance from that value. Hold a position overnight that's sitting on a floating gain close to that day's percentage (5% for Standard and Pro, 4% for Elite), and your equity at the reset becomes the new reference point, pushing the day's floor up to roughly your original starting balance. The position simply drifting back toward breakeven during the new trading day is then enough to touch or breach the floor, without any new risk being taken.

Same firm-wide issues apply
The firm overview covers what applies regardless of which model you pick: the 80%-margin "gambling" threshold (real and published, but practically unreachable at 1:100 leverage), the copy-trading rules confirmed directly by support, and the Trustpilot-flagged review pattern. Read it once rather than per product.
