Evaluation time limit
ConditionalLaunch/Propel/Static evaluations have no hard deadline (30-day subscription renews without resetting an open account); Orbit is a one-time purchase valid 30 days and expires unpassed.

Approved traders either start a live account at $0 with eligible Sim profit in a Bonus Vault, or take a one-time cash buyout equal to 50% of the account’s drawdown.
