Setup was a little confusing, and they have a gotcha rule you need to know about.
The setup was a little confusing as I received a notification that there was a problem and a delay, but it had already registered fine. I logged in and used Tradovate integration they provided. I read the rules of the 50k eval. So I misunderstood one of the rules, and here is where they get you and get your money. Ok so here is where their rules really get you and they scam you out of your money quickly for most traders. I opened up a position and I was up $1000... I opened another favorable position and it jumped 2k (unrealized gain), but then suddenly dropped 2k (UNREALIZED GAIN), then it went back up but my account was frozen. Eval is over. I lost my money. They have a trailing rule where if you go up, and it goes back down too much (WHILE UNREALIZED) you lose. So imagine a very volatile day where it swings up a lot drops down a lot then back up before you sell. You can't do that. You gotta be careful of the swings EVEN unrealized amounts, not just when you buy and sell. I saw this rule but I didn't really understand it in practice. It's a bad rule - I get why they do it, but it also should be more clearly explained (especially highlighting that you can get your account paused unrealized).
