Breakout Account Types & Pricing 2026

Every account type analyzed: I've compared every Breakout evaluation path — Classic 1-Step, Classic 2-Step, Pro, and Turbo — across all account sizes from $5K to $200K. The pricing, drawdown structures, and profit targets vary significantly between these options, and picking the wrong one costs real money.

Breakout offers four distinct evaluation paths, each with different pricing, drawdown mechanics, and profit targets. Picking the wrong one wastes money. Picking the right one can mean the difference between passing comfortably and blowing your account on day three.

As of April 2026, here's every account type laid out with real numbers and my take on who each one is built for.

Complete Pricing Overview

Classic 1-Step: The Default Choice

The Classic 1-Step is Breakout's flagship evaluation. One phase, one target, static drawdown. It's the simplest path to a funded account.

Profit target: 10% of starting balance Daily loss limit: 3% Max drawdown: 6% static (never moves) Account sizes: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K

The target-to-drawdown ratio is 1.67x. You need to make $1.67 for every $1 of risk room. That's the most forgiving ratio among the 1-Step options.

Static drawdown is the key advantage. Your floor is calculated once and never changes. Grow the account to $115,000 on a $100K eval? Your floor stays at $94,000. No trailing pressure, no High Water Mark tracking.

Who it's for: Most traders. If you can catch 2-4 solid BTC/ETH trades with good entries, you'll pass. The $100K at $999 is the sweet spot between capital size and evaluation cost.

Classic 2-Step: Cheaper Entry, More Complexity

The 2-Step splits the evaluation into two phases with different targets and introduces trailing drawdown.

Phase 1 target: 5% of starting balance Phase 2 target: 10% of starting balance Daily loss limit: 5% (more generous than 1-Step) Max drawdown: 8% trailing (follows highest balance, caps at starting balance) Account sizes: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K

The 2-Step costs 25% less than the 1-Step at each size. The $100K eval is $749 vs $999. But the trailing drawdown adds risk. If you grow to $108,000 and then have a pullback, the floor has moved up with you.

The 5% daily loss limit is a genuine advantage. Nearly double the 1-Step's 3%, giving you much more room for intraday volatility. On a $100K account, that's $5,000 daily budget vs $3,000.

Who it's for: Traders who are confident in consistent performance and want to save on the evaluation fee. The trailing drawdown rewards smooth equity curves. If your P&L looks like a staircase, 2-Step works. If it looks like a rollercoaster, the trailing drawdown will kill you.

Pro: High Targets, Big Accounts

Pro evaluations target experienced traders willing to hit aggressive profit numbers in exchange for access to larger accounts.

Profit targets: 12% ($5K) scaling up to 24% ($200K) Daily loss limit: 3% Max drawdown: 5% static Account sizes: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, $200K

The defining feature is the $200K account option. Classic caps at $100K. Pro gives you double the maximum individual account size. For traders approaching the $200K aggregate cap, one Pro $200K account is more efficient than two Classic $100K accounts.

The trade-off is brutal. A $200K Pro requires $48,000 in profit (24%) with only $10,000 in drawdown room (5%). That's a 4.8x target-to-drawdown ratio — nearly three times harder than Classic's 1.67x.

Who it's for: Traders with a proven track record of generating 20%+ returns with sub-5% drawdown. If your trading journal shows that over 3+ months, Pro makes sense. If you're guessing, it'll eat your money.

Turbo: Cheapest, Tightest

Turbo is Breakout's budget option. Lowest fees, lowest drawdown.

Profit targets: Lower than Pro (specific values vary by size) Daily loss limit: 3% Max drawdown: 3% static Account sizes: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, $200K

The 3% max drawdown is razor thin. On a $100K account, your floor is $97,000. That's $3,000 of total room for the life of the evaluation. A single bad trade at moderate leverage can breach this.

At 5:1 BTC leverage on a $100K account ($500K notional), a 0.6% BTC move against you hits the 3% max drawdown. BTC moves 0.6% in minutes.

Who it's for: High-conviction traders who only take A+ setups and size positions conservatively. Turbo rewards precision. If you trade 1-2 times per week with tight stops and let winners run, the cheap entry price and low drawdown can work. Everyone else will blow through $97,000 before lunch.

Side-by-Side Comparison ($100K Account)

Which Account Should You Choose?

Here's the decision framework:

Choose Classic 1-Step if:

• You want the simplest evaluation with the best target-to-drawdown ratio
• You prefer static drawdown (no trailing pressure)
• You're buying your first Breakout evaluation
• You trade BTC/ETH swing positions and can target 2-4% moves

Choose Classic 2-Step if:

• You want to save 25% on the evaluation fee
• You're comfortable with trailing drawdown mechanics
• Your equity curve is consistently smooth (low variance)
• You appreciate the more generous 5% daily loss limit

Choose Pro if:

• You have a proven track record of 20%+ returns with under 5% drawdown
• You want access to $200K account sizing
• You're approaching the $200K aggregate cap and want one large account
• You understand the difficulty of the 4x+ target-to-drawdown ratio

Choose Turbo if:

• You only trade A+ setups (1-2 trades per week max)
• You want the cheapest possible entry
• You can manage positions within a 3% total drawdown window
• You're testing Breakout for the first time at minimal cost ($45 for $5K)

Multiple Accounts Strategy

Breakout allows multiple simultaneous evaluations and funded accounts up to the $200,000 aggregate cap. Cross-account hedging is prohibited — you can't open opposing positions on different accounts.

Common configurations:

• Two Classic 1-Step $100K accounts: Maximum capital, static drawdown on both. Total: $200K funded.
• One Pro $200K account: Same aggregate capital in a single account. Simpler to manage but harder to pass.
• Mix of sizes for testing: Start with a $5K Turbo ($45) to test the platform, then upgrade to $50K-$100K once comfortable.

Don't run multiple accounts if you can't monitor them all simultaneously. Each account has independent drawdown limits, and a losing trade on one while you're focused on another can silently breach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest Breakout account?

The cheapest Breakout evaluation is the Turbo $5K at $45. The cheapest Classic option is the Classic 2-Step $5K at $50. These entry-level accounts are useful for testing the platform but offer minimal funded capital ($5,000).

Can you switch account types at Breakout?

No. Once you purchase an evaluation, you can't switch the account type or size. If you realize after purchase that you chose the wrong option, you'd need to buy a new evaluation. Breakout doesn't offer refunds on active evaluations.

What is the maximum account size at Breakout?

The maximum individual account is $200,000, available only on Pro and Turbo evaluations. Classic accounts cap at $100,000. The aggregate funding cap across all accounts is $200,000, regardless of account type.

Does the profit split differ between account types at Breakout?

No. All Breakout account types share the same profit split structure: 80% default, 90% add-on, and 95% after three months of profitability with two payouts. The split is account-independent.

Are Breakout evaluation fees refundable?

Breakout evaluation fees are non-refundable once trading begins. However, the entire fee is refunded with your first successful payout from a funded account. If you haven't placed any trades, contacting support may result in a refund.

Which Breakout account has the best value?

The Classic 1-Step $50K at $500 offers arguably the best value. It has the same favorable 10% target and 6% static drawdown as the $100K, at half the cost. The $50K funded capital still generates meaningful profits at 80% split ($4,000/month on 10% return).

Can you run multiple Breakout accounts at the same time?

Yes. You can run multiple evaluations and funded accounts simultaneously up to $200,000 in total funded capital. Cross-account hedging (opposite positions on different accounts) is prohibited.

What happens if you fail one phase of the 2-Step?

If you fail either phase of the Breakout 2-Step evaluation (by breaching daily loss or max drawdown), the entire evaluation is over. You don't restart from Phase 1 — you must purchase a completely new evaluation. No discounted retries.

Is the Pro account worth the higher target?

Only if your trading generates returns consistently above 20% with drawdown under 5%. The Pro $200K requires $48,000 in profit with $10,000 drawdown room — a 4.8x ratio. Most traders will find the Classic 1-Step's 1.67x ratio far more achievable.

Which account type is best for scalping?

The Classic 2-Step has the most generous daily loss limit at 5% (vs 3% on all other types), which gives scalpers more room for intraday losses. However, Breakout's 0.04% per-side fee makes high-frequency scalping expensive regardless of account type.

The bottom line: Classic 1-Step is the right choice for 80% of traders. Static drawdown, reasonable target, one phase. The 2-Step saves money but adds trailing risk. Pro is for the top 5% who consistently outperform. Turbo is a cheap test drive with zero margin for error. Start with Classic 1-Step $50K or $100K, pass, get your fee refunded with your first payout, and scale from there. Don't overthink it.
