Hero ZERO: no activation fee, 1-Step or 2-Step
Hero ZERO is the no-activation-fee version of our evaluation plans. 1-Step is one phase with no minimum trading days. 2-Step is two phases with no consistency rule and splits up to 95%.
Who Hero ZERO is for
Hero ZERO is for traders who want to pay once. When you pass, your funded account is ready with no activation fee. Pick 1-Step for the shortest route: one phase you can pass in a day, with a 50% consistency rule on payouts. Pick 2-Step for the highest split and no consistency rule anywhere, on sizes up to $200K.

Max drawdown is the same in the evaluation and funded. Max contracts are minis / micros open at one time. The evaluation has no daily drawdown limit; on the funded account, reaching the daily limit breaches the account immediately. A winning day closes at 0.3% of account size or more, from $75 on $25K to $450 on $150K.

How Hero ZERO payouts work
On both versions you collect winning days since your last request, reach the payout goal for your size, then request. The payout goal applies to every payout, and the winning-day count restarts after each request.
- 1-Step: 4 winning days, and no single day can be more than 50% of your total profit when you request. No minimum payout.
- 2-Step: 3 winning days, no consistency check, and an amount between the min and max payout.
- Both: total payouts are capped at $2,500 in your first 30 days funded. Payouts are sent within 2 business days, backed by the 48-Hour Payout Guarantee, via Straight to Broker (our partnered broker, FHX Markets), RISE or crypto.

FundedHero Futures evaluation and funded accounts are simulated trading environments for evaluation and education. Simulated results don’t guarantee results in live markets, and payouts depend on following the rules. Rules can change; the official rules pages are the current reference.
