Which one for a systematic strategy
Advanced Qualified is the cleanest funded stage on the card: no consistency, no Daily Loss Guard, no scaling, no news windows, but the evaluation carries 40% and a tighter floor. Zero is the reverse: no evaluation consistency and a one-day pass, then 40% and the Daily Loss Guard once Qualified. Payouts and the platform situation are the two open items: same-day processing is the firm’s claim after the July closure without independent verification, and algorithmic execution depends on AlphaTrader or Quantower support.
