THE PRACTICAL BENEFITS

Room to use your own trading workflow.

Official trading permissions
INCLUDED VPS

A trading setup in Chicago.

The normal offer includes a Windows VPS with 16GB RAM. Select the free VPS at checkout. It is one per customer and stays free while at least one paid or giveaway Boxcar account remains active.

Complimentary technical test accounts are excluded. Platform licences and other fees remain separate.

VPS details

Bots & your own copy groups

Automated strategies and copying across your own accounts are permitted. Every account keeps its own limits; software mistakes still count.

Scale into a position

DCA and staged entries are permitted within the combined position-size and loss limits.

Genuine scalping

Short trades are permitted. Microscalping restrictions and realistic execution requirements still apply.

Trading days ≠ profit days

A permitted quick trade can count as a trading day. It does not replace Flex's qualifying daily profit or other payout checks.

News permissions depend on the stage

Prime, Flex, Funded and Payout Eval permit news trading. Payout simulated-funded must be flat for one minute before and after high-impact USD news.

News rules

Spreads & opposing indices

Within one Eval or simulated-funded account, opposing mini/micro pairs or different indices can be allowed. Opposing the same exact contract, or offsetting correlated exposure across separate accounts, is prohibited.

Hedging rules

These permissions concern evaluations and simulated-funded accounts. Live accounts have separate terms and require approval; progression is not guaranteed.

01 / THE ACCOUNT

What is BoxcarFlex?

Official Flex rules

Flex begins with an evaluation. The next stage is simulated-funded, where approved performance can earn real payouts. Live capital requires separate selection and onboarding.

Evaluation limits by account size · USD
AccountProfit targetMax loss allowanceOptional daily lossEval size limit
$25K$1,250$1,000$6002 minis / 20 micros
$50K$3,000$2,000$1,2004 minis / 40 micros
$100K$6,000$3,000$1,8006 minis / 60 micros
$150K$9,000$4,500$2,70010 minis / 100 micros

Consistency matters in the Eval

Your best profitable day may contribute up to 52% of total net Eval profit: the stated 50% rule includes a two percentage point cushion. One profitable day cannot meet this.

The five qualifying days below apply to funded payouts. There is no fixed Eval completion deadline, but the 30-day inactivity requirement still applies.

Passing an evaluation

Funded sizing starts smaller

Flex removes funded consistency and a separate payout buffer. Your position allowance starts below the Eval cap, then scales with account profit.

Size tiers update after the session. Losses or payouts can lower your tier; use the limit actually enabled on your account. Minis and micros share one allowance.

Full position tiers

The daily-loss option is selected at purchase and applies in both stages. Confirm your choice and current price at checkout. Plan details

02 / GETTING PAID

Qualifying days are only one check.

Payout eligibility
Simulated-funded requirements · each payout cycle
AccountQualifying daysNet profit per dayGross request capStarting funded size
$25K5$100$1,0001 minis / 10 micros

Check the amount as well

Your request is limited to 50% of cycle profit and the size-based cap. The minimum gross request is $500; your share of an approved request is 90% before payment fees.

Five $150 days on a $50K account total $750. Half is $375, so those days alone cannot support a request. At least $1,000 cycle profit is needed for the $500 minimum, alongside all other requirements.

Approved payouts restart the cycle. Meeting the numbers allows a request; approval and payment are separate steps.

PROTECT WHAT IS LEFT

A payout changes your risk room

Flex uses EOD trailing drawdown: the loss floor rises with the highest end-of-day balance, never falls and caps at starting balance + $100. Open-position losses still count during the session; touching the floor breaches the account.

A payout request locks the floor at starting balance + $100. With a $51,000 balance on a $50K account, deducting a $500 gross request leaves $50,500 against a $50,100 floor: only $400 of distance.

03 / OUR EXPERIENCE

Connected. Traded. Evaluation passed.

We connected through Rithmic, placed a few trades and passed our evaluation.

OUR ACCOUNT

Boxcar provided our complimentary $50K BoxcarPrime evaluation with CME Level 1 data.

04 / YOUR SOFTWARE

Choose the interface you want to use.

Supported platforms

Rithmic

The connection infrastructure for Boxcar accounts. Rithmic Web was the interface we used for the first trades; Boxcar also lists Rithmic Trader Pro.

Quantower

Boxcar recommends enabling “Use Beta Version” in Quantower, updating, then selecting Boxcar Trading for the Rithmic connection. Beta update guide

NinjaTrader

Another supported interface, with Boxcar-specific setup. Our existing NinjaTrader area introduces the platform; use Boxcar's guide for this account.

TradingView

Our preferred charting experience, but Boxcar's current supported-platform page does not list TradingView. We cannot offer a verified direct Boxcar trading connection to it.

Before trying another platform

Open Trading Platforms in Boxcar's portal. Use the separate trading credentials, complete the required agreements and follow the settings for your account. Website login details and trading login details are different. Platform licences or data subscriptions may carry separate costs.
