Pulse Core
Prove Your Strategy. Get Funded
The Pulse Core Challenge is a two-phase evaluation program designed for traders who want to earn virtual funding through performance and discipline. Unlike instant virtual funding models, Pulse Core requires traders to meet realistic profit targets while respecting clear risk rules, just like a professional prop trading environment.
This program is ideal for consistent traders who want to demonstrate their strategy in a structured, low-pressure format with trailing drawdown and access to quick rewards.
What is
Pulse Core?
Pulse Core is Eleonex’s standard 2-step evaluation challenge, built to assess a trader’s consistency, risk management, and strategy under real market conditions. Traders must pass Phase 1 and Phase 2, each with defined goals and rules, before qualifying for a funded trading account.
This model reflects the traditional proprietary trading path, but with more trader-friendly conditions and quicker reward potential.

Trailing Drawdown Explained
Trailing drawdown means your max drawdown limit adjusts as your account grows, protecting the capital and encouraging disciplined growth.
-
- Example:
- You start with $100,000 and hit $103,000
- Your max drawdown is always 10% of your initial account balance.
- If your equity drops below $93,000, the account breaches
This system rewards slow, consistent growth over risky high-leverage spikes.
Who Should Choose Pulse Core?
The Pulse Core Challenge is designed for:
-
Intraday or short-term traders comfortable with trailing drawdown
-
Risk-focused, progressive traders
-
Those aiming for virtual funding through consistency
-
Traders who value structured evaluations

To pass both phases and remain eligible for payouts, you must:
- Avoid exceeding daily or total drawdown limits
- Complete the minimum trading days during evaluation period
- Use original strategies only
- Follow all terms and rules as outlined in the [Terms of Use] and [FAQ]
Violations may result in challenge failure or account termination.
Rules You Must Follow
Once funded, traders can:
- Request their first payout after 7 days/ 14 days
- Continue requesting payouts every 7 days/ 14 days
- Become eligible for account scaling after consistent performance
Eligible traders are invited to grow to larger accounts and higher payout brackets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use EAs or bots?

Q: Can I fail Phase 2 after passing Phase 1?
A: Yes. Each phase has separate rules. Traders must pass both to get funded.
Q: What happens after I pass both phases?
A: You’re moved to a funded demo account with possible rewards based on your simulated performance.
