Quick Answer — Breakout Classic Account
- • Breakout Classic is the flagship evaluation, available in 1-Step ($60-$999) and 2-Step ($50-$749) across $5K-$100K account sizes.
- • Classic 1-Step: 10% profit target, 6% static drawdown, 3% daily loss. The most popular and straightforward path to funding.
- • Classic 2-Step: 5%/10% phased targets, 8% trailing drawdown, 5% daily loss. Cheaper but riskier due to trailing mechanics.
- • Both Classic variants share the same profit split (80-95%), 24/7 USDC payouts, and first-payout fee refund.
- • Classic accounts cap at $100K individual and $200K aggregate — no $200K single account option (that's Pro/Turbo only).
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.

The Classic account is Breakout's core product. It's the evaluation most traders buy, the one with the most Trustpilot reviews, and the path most funded traders used to get their capital. Available in 1-Step and 2-Step variants across five account sizes.
If you've never traded with Breakout, Classic is where you start. The rules are clean, the target is reasonable, and the drawdown structure (especially on the 1-Step) gives you real room to trade.
Classic 1-Step: Complete Breakdown
The Classic 1-Step is one phase with one target. Hit 10%, don't breach, get funded.
| Size | Fee | Target (10%) | Daily DD (3%) | Max DD (6% static) | Fee/Capital |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | $60 | $500 | $150 | $300 | 1.2% |
| $10K | $120 | $1,000 | $300 | $600 | 1.2% |
| $25K | $275 | $2,500 | $750 | $1,500 | 1.1% |
| $50K | $500 | $5,000 | $1,500 | $3,000 | 1.0% |
| $100K | $999 | $10,000 | $3,000 | $6,000 | 1.0% |
The fee-to-capital ratio improves as you size up. The $50K and $100K accounts both cost 1.0% of their funded capital. Since the fee gets refunded on first payout, larger accounts have identical economic efficiency.
The 6% static drawdown gives $6,000 of permanent room on a $100K account. That's enough for two losing BTC trades at 3:1 leverage with 1% stops each. Comfortable, not generous. The 3% daily loss ($3,000) means you need to be done for the day after one bad trade at moderate size.
Classic 2-Step: Complete Breakdown
| Size | Fee | P1 Target (5%) | P2 Target (10%) | Daily DD (5%) | Max DD (8% trailing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | $50 | $250 | $500 | $250 | $400 trailing |
| $25K | $250 | $1,250 | $2,500 | $1,250 | $2,000 trailing |
| $50K | $375 | $2,500 | $5,000 | $2,500 | $4,000 trailing |
| $100K | $749 | $5,000 | $10,000 | $5,000 | $8,000 trailing |
The 2-Step's Phase 1 at 5% is the gentlest target at Breakout. On $100K, that's $5,000 — one good BTC trade at 3:1 leverage catching a 1.7% move. The Phase 2 target jumps to 10%, same as the 1-Step.
The 8% trailing drawdown starts at $92,000 on a $100K account. That's $2,000 more room than the 1-Step's $94,000 floor. But it trails. Once your balance hits $108,000, the floor moves to $100,000 — your starting point becomes the floor. At that point, any pullback from profits threatens the account.
Which Classic Size Is Best?
The $50K Classic 1-Step at $500 is the value sweet spot. Same rules as $100K, half the cost. Funded at $50K with 80% split, a 10% monthly return generates $4,000 — solid enough to justify the evaluation.
The $100K at $999 is for traders who want maximum capital per account. Two $100K accounts hit the $200K aggregate cap.
The $5K at $60 is a test drive. Cheap enough to try without commitment. The drawdown is tiny ($300 on 1-Step), so you'll learn the rules quickly, but the funded capital barely generates meaningful profits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Breakout Classic account?
The Breakout Classic is the firm's core evaluation product, available in 1-Step and 2-Step variants across $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, and $100K sizes. Classic accounts have the most balanced rules — 10% profit target, 3-5% daily loss, and 6-8% max drawdown depending on variant.
How much does a Breakout Classic $100K cost?
The Classic 1-Step $100K costs $999 and the Classic 2-Step $100K costs $749. Both fees are fully refunded with the first successful payout from a funded account.
What is the Classic 1-Step profit target?
Breakout Classic 1-Step requires a 10% profit target on all account sizes. On a $100K account, that's $10,000. On $50K, it's $5,000. There's no time limit or minimum trading days to reach it.
Is the Classic 2-Step easier than 1-Step?
Phase 1 of the 2-Step is easier (5% vs 10% target). But the overall evaluation is arguably harder due to trailing drawdown. You need to pass two phases, and the trailing floor creates risk that the static 1-Step avoids entirely.
What drawdown does the Classic account use?
Classic 1-Step uses 6% static drawdown (floor never moves). Classic 2-Step uses 8% trailing drawdown (floor follows highest balance, caps at starting balance). The 1-Step's static drawdown is simpler and safer for most traders.
Can you get a $200K Classic account at Breakout?
No. Classic accounts max out at $100K. The $200K individual account option is only available on Pro and Turbo evaluations. You can run two Classic $100K accounts to reach $200K aggregate.
What's the daily loss limit on Classic accounts?
Classic 1-Step has a 3% daily loss limit. Classic 2-Step has 5%. The limit resets at 00:30 UTC daily based on the prior day's closing balance.
Which Classic account size should beginners choose?
The $5K Classic 2-Step at $50 is the lowest-risk entry point. The $25K Classic 1-Step at $275 is a better balance of cost and funded capital. Avoid the $100K until you've proven you can pass smaller accounts first.
Do Classic accounts have consistency rules?
No. Breakout Classic accounts have zero consistency rules. No minimum trading days, no profit distribution requirements, no lot size restrictions. Hit the target without breaching drawdown limits and you pass.
How long does it take to pass a Classic evaluation?
There's no time limit. Aggressive traders pass in days. Conservative traders take weeks. The average is likely 1-3 weeks for successful evaluations, based on community reports. Failed evaluations end instantly upon drawdown breach.
The bottom line: The Classic account is Breakout's best product for the majority of crypto traders. The 1-Step variant at $50K or $100K is the sweet spot — static drawdown, 10% target, and a fee refund that makes it free if you pass. The 2-Step saves money and offers a more generous daily loss limit, but the trailing drawdown adds complexity that most traders don't need. Start Classic. Stay Classic. Scale within Classic. Move to Pro only when you've outgrown $100K accounts and need $200K sizing.
