Rules & Funding Path
Boxcar Trading runs a three-stage model: a simulated Evaluation, a simulated Funded stage that pays real cash payouts, and a selective Live stage that trades the firm's own capital.
End-of-Day Drawdown
Max loss is tracked end-of-day, not intraday, so floating losses during the session do not breach the limit by themselves. Once the account's initial trailing stop has cleared, the daily loss limit resets to 60% of the account's peak end-of-day profit.
Consistency Rule
There is no consistency requirement during the Evaluation stage. A 40% consistency rule applies once an account moves to the simulated Funded stage, meaning no single day can account for more than 40% of total profit at payout time.
Payouts
Funded accounts get daily payout approval windows, and a first payout is available within a 3-day window after the Evaluation is passed and reviewed. Boxcar asks for five completed payouts before a trader is considered for Live capital, and Live accounts support daily withdrawals.
Path to Live Capital
Selection for a Live, real-capital account is discretionary and based on consistency, risk discipline, and rule compliance during the simulated Funded stage — it is not automatic or guaranteed. A straight-to-funded option that skips the Evaluation is also available.
Supported Trading Platforms
Every Boxcar Trading account connects through Rithmic as its foundational data and execution feed. On top of that, Boxcar Trading supports a wide range of front-end trading platforms:
Because Boxcar Trading is Rithmic-based, traders on the firm sit inside the same broker ecosystem PickMyTrade already automates for other Rithmic prop firms.
Pros & Cons
A balanced look at where Boxcar Trading's terms are strong, and what to weigh before funding an account.
What Stands Out
- 90/10 profit split is at the high end of the futures prop firm market
- One-time evaluation fees with no monthly data or platform renewal charges
- Free professional-grade Chicago VPS (sub-1ms latency) included on every account
- End-of-day, not intraday, drawdown gives more room to manage a losing session
What to Watch
- Brand-new firm with no public payout track record yet
- Progression to a real Live-capital account is discretionary, not automatic
- 40% consistency rule adds a hurdle once an account reaches the simulated Funded stage
- Five completed payouts are required before Live-capital consideration, a longer runway than some competitors
Boxcar Trading FAQ
Answers to the questions traders ask most before funding a Boxcar Trading account.
Boxcar Trading is a futures trader-development program that takes traders through a simulated Evaluation, a simulated Funded stage that pays real cash payouts, and — for a selected few — a Live stage trading the firm's own capital on Rithmic-connected platforms.
Every account is built on Rithmic. On top of that base connection, Boxcar Trading supports NinjaTrader, MotiveWave, Quantower, Sierra Chart, Jigsaw, Bookmap, ATAS, and MultiCharts.
Boxcar Trading offers a 90/10 profit split in the trader's favor once an account qualifies for payouts, with daily payout approval windows and a first payout available within 3 days of passing the Evaluation.
Traders choose a $25K, $50K, $100K, or $150K account, pay a one-time evaluation fee, and must hit the profit target while respecting the max loss and daily loss limits. Boxcar advertises a fastest possible pass in as little as one trading day, and there is no consistency rule during this stage.
Max loss is measured end-of-day rather than intraday. After the account's initial trailing stop clears, the daily loss limit becomes 60% of the account's peak end-of-day profit. A 40% consistency rule applies once the account reaches the simulated Funded stage.
Yes — Boxcar Trading is one of the newest entrants in the futures prop firm space. Because it is brand new, it does not yet have a public payout history — weigh that alongside its terms and confirm current rules on boxcartrading.com before funding an account.
