100 contracts bought at 40¢
The illustrative taker fee is 0.07 × 100 × 0.40 × 0.60 = $1.68. A move from 40¢ to 55¢ produces $15 gross before the closing fee, so evaluation progress is lower than the displayed price gain.

Evaluation desk
Choose the rule set your strategy can actually survive
PropTide evaluations use live Kalshi-powered prices and a single qualification phase. A pass requires the tier target after fees, three separate profitable trading days, and continuous compliance with the published drawdown and contract limits.
One phase
No second verification challenge after the target and day requirements are met.
Live pricing
Positions are valued against active prediction-market quotes and reported settlements.
90% share
Funded traders keep 90% of eligible net realized profit.
Exact thresholds
What passing each account requires
| Virtual account | Standard fee | Pass balance | Starting floor | Profitable days | Per-event cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,000 | $24 | $2,200 | $1,900 | 3 × $50+ | 100 contracts |
| $10,000 | $99 | $11,000 | $9,500 | 3 × $250+ | 500 contracts |
| $25,000 | $159 | $27,000 | $24,000 | 3 × $500+ | 1,000 contracts |
Standard fees are shown before a valid discount code. The drawdown floor can trail upward after a higher settled end-of-day balance.
Worked $10K example
From $10,000 to a pass
Start with a $10,000 virtual balance and a published $9,500 drawdown floor.
Build $1,000 of net profit after fees to reach the $11,000 pass balance.
Record at least three separate days with $250 or more in realized net profit.
Stay within 500 contracts per event and the total-open-contract limit.
A single large win does not bypass the profitable-day requirement. Open P&L does not count toward a qualifying day until the position closes or settles.
Cost and payout math
What price movement becomes on the ledger
$800 profit on a funded $10K account
Fifty percent of the balance above start is $400, below the $500 cycle maximum. If all other payout requirements are met, the trader's 90% share is $360, while the account must remain above its post-payout buffer.

| Evaluation event cap | 100 | 500 | 1,000 |
| Maximum payout / cycle | $100 | $500 | $1,000 |
Evaluation questions
Is the account size a cash deposit?
No. It is the virtual balance used for evaluation and funded-account measurement. The checkout price is the one-time evaluation fee.
Can open losses breach drawdown?
Yes. Drawdown uses total account value, including the live value of open positions, and is checked continuously subject to quote-freshness and breach-confirmation safeguards.
Does one large win pass the account?
Not by itself. The account must also record three separate qualifying profitable days and remain compliant with every risk rule.
Where can I verify payout rules?
The full evaluation rules page publishes the winning-day, payout-cycle, buffer, consistency, split, and per-cycle requirements.
