Rev One Trading Classic Instant Funded Account Rules, Drawdown System, Payout Pool Explained

In most prop trading firms: You lose too much money → Your account is closed forever. Game over.

In the Rev One Trading Classic account: You lose any amount of money → Your account stays open. You just earn less money from future payouts.

This is a revolutionary idea in prop trading. But it comes with some unique rules.

The Rev One Trading difference: Classic accounts are Instant Funded. There is no challenge phase. You pay, you complete KYC (identity verification), and you start trading immediately.

---

What Makes the Classic Account Special?

The Big Promise

Your account will never close because of losing trades.

In normal prop accounts, if your losses reach a certain level (usually 3-5% of the account), the account is terminated. You lose your fee. You have to start over.

In the Classic account, you can lose any amount and the account stays open.

The Trade-Off

If you take too much risk, your Performance Weight goes down. Performance Weight is how Rev One Trading calculates your share of the payout pool. Lower Performance Weight = smaller payouts.

Behavior	Result
Disciplined trading	Higher Performance Weight → Bigger payouts
Reckless trading	Lower Performance Weight → Smaller payouts

The Range

Best Case	Worst Case
Your payouts can be 38% larger than normal	Your payouts can be 99% smaller than normal

Key takeaway: The account never dies, but your profits can shrink to almost nothing if you trade recklessly.

How Much Does It Cost?

Classic accounts cost 20% more than Rev One’s standard accounts because of the “no breach” protection.

Note: You pay once. There are no monthly fees.

Which Account Size Should a Beginner Choose?

Most beginners start with $5,000 or $10,000. The risk is lower, and you can learn the system without a large investment.

How Much Can You Trade? (Lot Sizes & Leverage)

Maximum Lots Per Position

All account sizes have the same limit: 20 lots maximum per trade.

Account Size	Max Lots Per Trade
$5,000 to $200,000	20 lots

What is a lot? A lot is a unit of trading size. 1 lot of forex is usually $100,000 worth of currency. 20 lots is $2,000,000 worth.

Leverage by Instrument

Leverage lets you control more money than you have. Higher leverage = more potential profit AND more potential loss.

What You’re Trading	Normal Leverage	Leverage with Power-Up Add-On
Currencies (Forex)	1:100	1:200
Commodities (Gold, Oil, etc.)	1:20	1:40
Indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, etc.)	1:20	1:40

Beginner warning: Higher leverage is dangerous. Start with normal leverage until you understand the risks.

---

Drawdown System: The Most Important Part

Drawdown is the amount of money you lose from your highest point.

Example: If your account grows from $100,000 to $110,000, then drops to $105,000, you have a $5,000 drawdown (which is 5% of your starting balance).

The Two Types of Drawdown in Classic Accounts

Classic tracks two different drawdown numbers and multiplies them together. This final number determines your payout size.

Drawdown Multiplier = Cycle Drawdown × All-Time Drawdown

Type 1: Cycle Drawdown (Resets Every Cycle)

What it measures: How much you lose from your highest point during the current payout cycle.

The good news: This resets to zero every time you start a new payout cycle. Bad cycles don’t follow you forever.

The Cycle Drawdown Multiplier Table:

If your biggest loss in the cycle is…	Your multiplier is…	Good or Bad?
0.5% or less	1.15x	🟢 Excellent (Reward)
1% or less	1.05x	🟢 Good (Reward)
2% or less	0.90x	🟡 Baseline
3% or less	0.75x	🟠 Penalty
4% or less	0.60x	🟠 Penalty
6% or less	0.45x	🔴 Heavy Penalty
8% or more	0.30x	🔴 Severe Penalty

Type 2: All-Time Drawdown (NEVER Resets Normally)

What it measures: The deepest your account has ever been below your starting balance.

The scary part: This number is permanent unless you use Account Revival.

The All-Time Drawdown Multiplier Table:

If you’ve ever dropped this far below start…	Your multiplier is…	Good or Bad?
Never dropped below start (0%)	1.20x	🟢 Excellent (Reward)
1% or less below start	1.15x	🟢 Good (Reward)
3% or less below start	1.00x	🟡 Baseline
5% or less below start	0.75x	🟠 Penalty
8% or less below start	0.40x	🔴 Heavy Penalty
10% or less below start	0.20x	🔴 Severe Penalty
12% or less below start	0.10x	⚫ Extreme Penalty
15% or more below start	0.05x	⚫ Near Zero

Real-Life Example

Let’s say you start with a $100,000 account.

Scenario 1: The Disciplined Trader

• You never let your account drop below $100,000 (All-Time DD = 0%)
• In your current cycle, your biggest loss from your peak is 0.5%
• Cycle multiplier = 1.15x
• All-Time multiplier = 1.20x
• Combined = 1.15 × 1.20 = 1.38x (Your payouts are 38% larger!)

Scenario 2: The Trader Who Made One Big Mistake

• Early on, you dropped to $85,000 (15% below start)
• That mistake is permanent: All-Time multiplier = 0.05x
• In your current cycle, you trade perfectly (1.15x)
• Combined = 1.15 × 0.05 = 0.0575x (Your payouts are 94% smaller)

The lesson: One big mistake can permanently destroy your earning potential. Protect your starting balance at all costs.

The 5% Buffer Zone (The Payout Gatekeeper)

What Is the Buffer?

The first 5% of profit you make is locked away. You can never withdraw it. It stays in the account forever.

How It Works

Account Size	Buffer Amount	Profit You Can Actually Withdraw
$5,000	$250	Any profit above $250
$10,000	$500	Any profit above $500
$25,000	$1,250	Any profit above $1,250
$50,000	$2,500	Any profit above $2,500
$100,000	$5,000	Any profit above $5,000
$200,000	$10,000	Any profit above $10,000

Example

You have a $100,000 Classic account. Your balance grows to $112,000.

Calculation	Amount
Total profit	$12,000
Buffer zone (5% of $100,000)	$5,000
Profit eligible for payout	$7,000

Why does the buffer exist? Since the account never closes from losses, Rev One Trading needs a way to ensure traders are genuinely profitable before paying out. The buffer serves that purpose.

How to Qualify for Payouts (The Gateways)

To request a payout, you must meet ALL of these requirements. Miss one, and you cannot request a payout that cycle.

The 7 Gateways

#	Gateway	What It Means	Beginner Tip
1	Min Trading Days	You need at least 5 days where you made 0.50% profit or more	Don’t try to do it all in one day. Spread your trading out.
2	Consistency Rule	Your best day cannot be more than 30% of your total profit	If you make $1,000 total, your best day can’t be more than $300.
3	Profit Goal	You need at least 3% profit in the current cycle	On a $100k account, that’s $3,000 profit.
4	Min Payout Request	Your eligible profit must meet the minimum amount for your account size	Check the dashboard for your specific number.
5	$50 Minimum Payout	Your estimated payout must be at least $50	The system checks this every Friday at 5:00 PM EST.
6	Account Status	Your account cannot be terminated for inactivity	Trade at least once every 7 days.
7	Profit Above Buffer	You must have cleared the 5% buffer zone	On $100k, you need over $5,000 profit before any payout.

Important Difference from Normal Accounts

Normal accounts have a rule called “Profit Above DD Level” (you must be above your maximum drawdown level to get paid).

Classic accounts remove this rule because there is no maximum drawdown level. You just need to be above the buffer.

Rev One Trading Payouts Explained: No Profit Splits, Just Math

If you’re tired of vague profit splits and wondering whether a prop firm will actually pay you, Rev One Trading takes a completely different approach.

No discretion. No profit splits. Just math.

Here’s how it works — in plain English.

---

The Big Picture: Where the Money Comes From

Rev One Trading takes all revenue and splits it three ways every cycle:

• 40% → Trader Payout Pool (your money)
• 45% → Operating costs
• 15% → Company profit

That means you are not paid from company profits. You are paid from a dedicated pool funded entirely by revenue.

---

The 40% Trader Payout Pool – How It Works

The pool is pre-funded and fully visible before you even activate or request a payout.

Inside that 40% pool:

• 85% → Paid out weekly to active traders every Friday
• 15% → Held in reserve as a buffer for future payouts

Example:
If the weekly pool is $1,000,000 and your share is 10% → you get $100,000.
Your simulated P&L could be $5,000, but your payout can still be higher based on pool share.

---

Your Payout = Pool × Your Score

Your personal share of the pool depends on a score calculated from eight factors.

Better score → bigger slice.
Worse score → smaller slice.

No one decides. The math decides.

---

The 8 Factors That Determine Your Score

Factor	What Improves Your Score	What Hurts Your Score	Multiplier Range
Consistency	Profit spread across many days	One huge profit day	No range shown
Scalping	Less profit from trades under 60 sec	More profit from trades under 60 sec	0.50x – 1.20x
News Trading	Less profit around major news	More profit around major news	0.50x – 1.20x
Trading Days	More unique trading days	Fewer trading days	0.45x – 1.10x
Drawdown	Small dip from peak balance	Large dip from high-water mark	0.60x – 1.00x
Account Size	Larger account (more risk taken)	Smaller account	0.05x – 3.00x ($100k = baseline)
Payout Number	More payouts completed	New trader / fewer payouts	0.70x – 1.00x
Whale Throttle	Balanced pool share	One trader dominates pool	0.50x – 1.00x

Your final score is a combination of these.
The math is fully visible — nothing hidden.

---

Friday Payday – Weekly, No Commissions

• Every Friday – if you qualify, you participate in the weekly pool.
• $0 commissions on all markets.
• No execution delays, no artificial slippage, no market manipulation.
• Because Rev One Trading uses simulation-only trading + a pre-funded pool, they have zero incentive to work against you.

---

Why This Is Different

Traditional Prop Firms	Rev One Trading
Profit splits (e.g., 80/20)	No profit splits
Discretion / manual review	Pure math
Paid from company profits	Paid from revenue-funded pool
Hidden calculations	Fully visible allocation
Incentive to deny payouts	No incentive to work against you

Account Revival: The “Reset Button”

What Is Revival?

Revival is a paid feature that lets you start completely fresh with a new account.

How It Differs from Normal Accounts

Account Type	When Revival Happens
Normal prop accounts	Revival happens automatically when you hit max loss
Classic accounts	YOU decide when to revive (any time you want)

How to Use Revival

Step	What Happens
1	You click the “Revival” button in your dashboard
2	Your current account closes immediately (all trades closed at market price)
3	A brand new account is created
4	Your balance resets to the original starting amount
5	Your All-Time Drawdown resets to 0%
6	Your payout number resets to P1
7	Any add-ons you bought are still there

Revival Details

Detail	Value
Cost	50% of the base account price
When you can buy it	Only at checkout (not after)
How many times you can use it	Once per purchase
What resets	Balance, All-Time DD, Cycle DD, Payout number

When Should You Use Revival?

Scenario: You made a big mistake early on. Your account dropped 20% below starting balance. Now your All-Time multiplier is stuck at 0.05x. You earn almost nothing from payouts.

Solution: Pay 50% of the base price to revive. You get a fresh account with a 1.20x All-Time multiplier.

The math:

Without Revival	With Revival
All-Time multiplier = 0.05x	All-Time multiplier = 1.20x
Payout number = P4 (1.00x)	Payout number = P1 (0.70x)
Effective weight = 0.05x	Effective weight = 0.84x

Revival gives you 16.8 times more payout weight. It’s often worth it.

Performance Weight: How Payouts Are Calculated

The Formula (Don’t Worry, We’ll Explain)

PW = Profit% × Consistency × Scalping × News × Trading Days × Drawdown × Account Size × Payout Number

The 8 Multipliers Explained Simply

Multiplier	What It Measures	How to Get a High Score
Profit%	How much profit you made	Make more profit
Consistency	Whether you spread out your profits	Don’t make all your profit in one day
Scalping	Whether you hold trades for a long time	Don’t close trades in under 60 seconds
News	Whether you avoid trading during news events	Don’t trade when big news comes out
Trading Days	How many days you trade	Trade 16+ days per cycle
Drawdown	How much risk you took	Keep drawdowns small (THIS IS THE KEY ONE FOR CLASSIC)
Account Size	How big your account is	Larger accounts = larger payouts
Payout Number	How many payouts you’ve taken	Increases from 0.70x to 1.00x over time

Payout Number Progression

Payout Number	Multiplier
First payout (P1)	0.70x
Second payout (P2)	0.80x
Third payout (P3)	0.90x
Fourth payout and beyond (P4+)	1.00x

Beginner Tips for Each Multiplier

Multiplier	Beginner Strategy
Consistency	Aim for 10-15 small green days instead of 2-3 huge days
Scalping	Hold trades for at least 60 seconds whenever possible
News	Check the economic calendar and avoid trading 5 minutes before/after major news
Trading Days	Trade a little bit every day instead of binging on weekends
Drawdown	Use tight stop losses and never risk more than 1% per trade

Classic vs Standard: Which Is Right for You?

Comparison Table

Feature	Standard EOD Trailing	Classic
Can you lose your account from drawdown?	Yes (at 3.5% loss)	No (never)
Best possible Drawdown multiplier	1.00x	1.38x
Worst possible Drawdown multiplier	0.60x	0.01x
Does it track lifetime losses?	No	Yes (All-Time DD)
When can you revive?	Only after hitting max loss	Any time you want
Price	Lower (base price)	+20% higher
Drawdown Boost add-on?	Yes	No (not applicable)

Which One Should a Beginner Choose?

Choose Classic if:

• You are nervous about losing your account
• You want the psychological safety of knowing your account won’t close
• You are willing to pay 20% more for that safety
• You trust yourself to protect your starting balance

Choose Standard if:

• You want the lowest possible price
• You don’t mind the account closing if you hit max loss
• You prefer simpler rules (no All-Time DD tracking)

My Recommendation for Beginners

Start with a small Classic account ($5,000 or $10,000). The 20% premium is small in dollar terms ($47.50 instead of $39.58 for $5k). You get to learn the system without the fear of account termination.

---

Add-Ons: Extra Features You Can Buy

When you buy your Classic account, you can add extra features. Each add-on costs a percentage of the base account price.

Available Add-Ons

Add-On	Cost	What It Does	Should a Beginner Buy It?
Reduced Min Trading Days	20%	Lowers requirement from 5 days to 3 days	🟡 Maybe, if you don’t trade daily
Consistency Gateway Removal	15%	Removes the 30% single-day rule	🔴 No, learn good habits first
GlassPay Silver	30%	2x total Performance Weight	🟡 Maybe for serious traders
GlassPay Gold	50%	4x total Performance Weight	🔴 Too expensive for beginners
Individual Multiplier Boost	7.5% each	1.25x on one multiplier	🟢 Yes for Drawdown multiplier
Account Revival	50%	Lets you reset All-Time DD	🟢 Yes, as insurance
Leverage Power-Up	20%	Doubles your leverage	🔴 No, dangerous for beginners
Drawdown Boost	N/A	Not available for Classic	N/A

Best Add-Ons for Classic Account

Priority	Add-On	Why
1	Account Revival	For 50% of base price, you get a “reset button” if things go wrong
2	Individual Multiplier Boost (Drawdown)	For 7.5%, you get 1.25x on your Drawdown multiplier
3	Reduced Min Trading Days	For 20%, you only need 3 green days instead of 5

Example: Elite Trader with Boost

If you are disciplined:

• Base combined multiplier = 1.38x
• Add Individual Multiplier Boost for Drawdown (1.25x)
• Final Drawdown multiplier = 1.38 × 1.25 = 1.73x

That means your payouts are 73% larger than baseline. That’s huge.

Pro Tips for Beginners

Tip 1: Protect Your Starting Balance Like Your Life Depends On It

The All-Time Drawdown number is permanent. Once you drop below your starting balance, you can never erase that record without paying for Revival.

Action step: Set your stop losses so that you cannot lose more than 1-2% of your account on any single trade. Never risk a drawdown below your starting balance.

Tip 2: Don’t Try to Get Rich Quick

Classic rewards slow, steady, disciplined trading. The traders who make the most money are the ones who keep their Cycle Drawdown under 0.5% and their All-Time Drawdown at 0%.

Action step: Aim for 0.5-1% profit per day. Stop trading when you hit that target. Don’t get greedy.

Tip 3: Use the Cycle Reset to Your Advantage

Every payout cycle, your Cycle Drawdown resets to zero. If you had a bad cycle, just finish it, take the penalty, and start fresh next cycle.

Action step: Don’t revenge trade after a bad cycle. Accept the penalty and focus on doing better next time.

Tip 4: Revival Is a Tool, Not a Failure

Many traders think revival means they “lost.” That’s wrong. Revival is a strategic tool to reset a damaged All-Time multiplier.

Action step: If your All-Time multiplier drops below 0.20x, calculate whether revival makes financial sense. Often, it does.

Tip 5: Don’t Buy Add-Ons You Don’t Understand

Add-ons cost money. Some are great for beginners (Revival, Reduced Trading Days). Some are dangerous (Leverage Power-Up).

Action step: Start with no add-ons or just Revival. Learn the base system first. Add complexity later.

Tip 6: Trade at Least Once Every 7 Days

The inactivity rule is simple: 7 days without a trade = account terminated.

Action step: If you’re going on vacation, either close your trades or set a calendar reminder to place one small trade before 7 days pass.

---

The Inactivity Rule (Don’t Forget to Trade!)

The Rule

7 calendar days without a single trade = your account is terminated.

Important Notes

• This is the ONLY way a Classic account can be terminated (besides you choosing to close it)
• Max drawdown does NOT cause termination
• Even a tiny trade (like 0.01 lots) counts

Beginner Action Step

Set a recurring calendar reminder: “Place one trade in my Rev One Trading account” every 6 days.

---
