Quick Answer — Breakout Pro Account
- • Breakout Pro is the firm's high-difficulty evaluation with targets scaling from 12% ($5K) to 24% ($200K) and a 5% static drawdown across all sizes.
- • Pricing ranges from $50 ($5K) to $1,399 ($200K). All fees refunded on first funded payout.
- • Pro and Turbo are the only account types offering the $200K individual account size. Classic caps at $100K.
- • Target-to-drawdown ratio ranges from 2.4x ($5K) to 4.8x ($200K) — significantly harder than Classic's 1.67x.
- • As of April 2026: Pro is built for experienced traders with proven 20%+ return histories. Most traders should start with Classic instead.
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 Pro account is Breakout's advanced evaluation tier. It sits between Classic (the standard) and Turbo (the budget option with razor-thin drawdown), and it's the only path to a single $200K funded account besides Turbo.
The pitch is simple: harder targets, tighter drawdown, but access to more capital. Whether that trade-off makes sense depends entirely on your track record. If you've never consistently generated 20%+ returns with sub-5% drawdown, Pro will cost you money.
What Are the Breakout Pro Account Rules?
Breakout Pro is a 1-Step evaluation with no time limit, no minimum trading days, and no consistency rules. The core parameters:
- Profit target: Scales from 12% to 24% depending on account size
- Max drawdown: 5% static (floor never moves)
- Daily loss limit: 3% of starting balance
- Profit split: 80% base, scaling to 95%
- Fee refund: Full refund on first funded payout
The static drawdown is a real advantage over trailing alternatives. Your floor stays fixed at 95% of starting balance regardless of how high your account grows. On a $100K Pro, the floor is $95,000 forever.
Breakout Pro Pricing and Targets by Size
| Size | Fee | Target % | Target $ | Max DD (5%) | Daily DD (3%) | Target:DD Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | $50 | 12% | $600 | $250 | $150 | 2.4x |
| $10K | $100 | 15% | $1,500 | $500 | $300 | 3.0x |
| $25K | $225 | 18% | $4,500 | $1,250 | $750 | 3.6x |
| $50K | $425 | 20% | $10,000 | $2,500 | $1,500 | 4.0x |
| $100K | $849 | 22% | $22,000 | $5,000 | $3,000 | 4.4x |
| $200K | $1,399 | 24% | $48,000 | $10,000 | $6,000 | 4.8x |
The pattern is clear: targets get progressively more aggressive as account size increases. The $5K Pro at 12% is only marginally harder than Classic's 10%. The $200K Pro at 24% is in a different league entirely.
The fee-to-capital ratio actually improves at higher sizes. The $200K at $1,399 costs 0.7% of funded capital. The $5K at $50 costs 1.0%. So bigger accounts are more fee-efficient, but the target difficulty makes that efficiency irrelevant if you can't pass.
How Hard Is the Breakout Pro Evaluation?
The target-to-drawdown ratio tells you everything. Classic 1-Step sits at 1.67x ($10K target / $6K drawdown on $100K). The Pro $100K is 4.4x ($22K target / $5K drawdown). The $200K Pro is 4.8x.
In practical terms: you need to generate $22,000 in profit on a $100K account without ever losing more than $5,000 from your starting balance. That means your maximum drawdown during the evaluation must stay under 5% while your total profit exceeds 22%.
For BTC trading at 5:1 leverage on the $100K Pro, a 1% adverse BTC move costs $5,000 — your entire drawdown buffer. One bad trade at full leverage and you're done.
Realistic pass rates for the Pro are likely well below 10%. Breakout doesn't publish pass rate data, but the math speaks for itself. You need a trading strategy that produces 4.4x-4.8x more profit than its maximum drawdown. Most retail strategies don't come close.
How Does Breakout Pro Compare to Classic?
| Feature ($100K) | Classic 1-Step | Pro | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee | $999 | $849 | Pro $150 cheaper |
| Target | 10% ($10K) | 22% ($22K) | Pro 2.2x harder |
| Max Drawdown | 6% static ($6K) | 5% static ($5K) | Pro $1K tighter |
| Daily Loss | 3% ($3K) | 3% ($3K) | Same |
| Target:DD Ratio | 1.67x | 4.4x | Pro 2.6x harder |
| Max Size | $100K | $200K | Pro 2x larger |
The Pro saves $150 on the fee and offers $200K sizing. Those are real advantages. But it doubles the target and cuts the drawdown buffer by $1,000. For the majority of traders, two Classic $100K accounts at $999 each is a better path to $200K aggregate than one Pro $200K at $1,399.
The exception: if you have a strategy that reliably produces 20%+ returns with minimal drawdown. In that case, one Pro $200K is cleaner and cheaper than managing two separate Classic evaluations.
Who Should Choose the Breakout Pro Account?
The Pro account makes sense for a specific trader profile:
Good fit:
- Track record of 20%+ monthly returns over 3+ months
- Maximum historical drawdown under 5%
- High-conviction, low-frequency trading style (2-5 trades/week)
- Want $200K in a single account rather than managing two $100K accounts
- Already passed Classic and want to scale up
Bad fit:
- No documented track record
- Averaging 5-15% monthly returns (Classic is enough)
- Trading more than 10 positions per day
- Drawdown regularly hits 5-8% during normal trading
- First Breakout evaluation
I'd estimate fewer than 10% of traders who buy Pro evaluations actually pass them. The target-to-drawdown math filters out almost everyone. If you're not sure whether you qualify, you don't. Start with Classic.
Is the Breakout $200K Pro Worth $1,399?
The $200K Pro at $1,399 is cheaper than two Classic $100K accounts at $1,998 total. So on fee alone, it's better value. But value doesn't matter if the evaluation is too hard to pass.
On a funded $200K Pro with 80% profit split, a 10% monthly return generates $16,000. At 95% split, it's $19,000. Those are strong numbers. The question is whether you can generate $48,000 in profit (24% target) without losing $10,000 first.
My take: the $100K Pro at $849 is the practical sweet spot. The 22% target is demanding but achievable for skilled traders. The $200K at 24% is for traders who have already passed a $100K Pro and have the receipts to prove they can do it at scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Breakout Pro account?
Breakout Pro is the firm's advanced 1-Step evaluation with higher profit targets (12-24%), tighter 5% static drawdown, and access to account sizes up to $200K. It's designed for experienced traders who need more capital than Classic's $100K cap.
How much does a Breakout Pro evaluation cost?
Breakout Pro pricing ranges from $50 ($5K account) to $1,399 ($200K account). The $100K Pro costs $849, which is $150 less than the Classic 1-Step at $999. All fees are refunded on the first funded payout.
What is the profit target for Breakout Pro?
Breakout Pro targets scale with account size: 12% ($5K), 15% ($10K), 18% ($25K), 20% ($50K), 22% ($100K), and 24% ($200K). These are significantly higher than Classic's flat 10% across all sizes.
How does Pro drawdown work at Breakout?
Breakout Pro uses a 5% static max drawdown. The floor is calculated once and never moves. On a $100K Pro, your floor is $95,000 regardless of how high the account grows. The daily loss limit is 3% of starting balance.
Is Breakout Pro harder than Classic?
Yes. Breakout Pro is substantially harder. The target-to-drawdown ratio on a $100K is 4.4x (Pro) vs 1.67x (Classic 1-Step). That means Pro demands 2.6x more performance per unit of risk room. Most traders should not choose Pro.
Can you get a $200K account with Breakout Pro?
Yes. Breakout Pro (along with Turbo) is the only evaluation type offering a $200K individual account size. The $200K Pro costs $1,399 and requires a 24% profit target with 5% static drawdown.
What profit split does Breakout Pro offer?
Breakout Pro shares the same profit split structure as all account types: 80% base split scaling to 95% based on performance. The split structure is identical to Classic and Turbo — only the evaluation parameters differ.
How long does it take to pass a Breakout Pro evaluation?
There's no time limit on Breakout Pro evaluations. Successful passes likely take 2-6 weeks for the most skilled traders, given the high target requirements. On the $200K Pro, generating $48,000 in profit typically requires multiple weeks of strong performance.
Should I choose Breakout Pro or two Classic accounts?
Two Classic $100K accounts cost $1,998 total vs $1,399 for one Pro $200K. Classic is cheaper per attempt because the 10% target is far easier to pass. Pro only makes sense if your win rate on 20%+ return evaluations is above 50%. For most traders, two Classic accounts is the safer path to $200K aggregate.
What's the best Breakout Pro account size?
The $100K Pro at $849 offers the best balance of capital size and achievable difficulty. The 22% target is demanding but realistic for experienced traders. The $5K Pro at $50 is a cheap test of the format. Avoid the $200K Pro at $1,399 until you've proven you can pass the $100K version first.
The bottom line: Breakout's Pro account exists for traders who've outgrown Classic's $100K cap and have the performance history to justify harder targets. The $200K option is the main draw, but the 24% target with 5% drawdown is brutal — a 4.8x ratio that filters out all but the most consistent traders. Start with Classic. If you're passing those consistently and want more capital, Pro is the upgrade path. If you haven't passed a Classic yet, Pro will eat your evaluation fees.
