Data notes. Operator: Red G Tech LLC (Wyoming reg. 35-2900121), registered-agent address 30 N Gould St, Sheridan WY. Prices are the list prices embedded in the homepage challenge data (USD; account capital in USDT); subscription is per month. No promo/discount code seen. One-Step and Subscription rules taken from docs (One-Step 4% daily/6% max; Subscription 4%/5%); the raw homepage challenge config still shows older values (10% daily/max for one-step, 6% max for subscription), so docs used. Two-Step: P1 10% target/10 days, P2 5% target/5 days/5% max loss; funded 5% daily/10% max. Extra eval rules: stop-loss mandatory within 5 min, max 3% risk per trade, min order size 5% of balance, min 3 trades per counted day, day P&L must be outside ±1%, 50% min win rate. Payout cap: max 5% of initial balance per payout, excess above 5% forfeited; balance resets after withdrawal. Challenge fee refunded with first split (not for Subscription). Founded year not stated (Trustpilot profile claimed May 2025; terms dated June 2025). Red flags: homepage claims '5.0 from 200+ reviews' and shows testimonial/payout cards with repeated names, but Trustpilot shows 4.3 from only 7 reviews, all May 2025, 0 in last 12 months. Homepage claims $1M+ total rewarded (unverified). Cleo platform 'coming soon'. Bybit is the exchange; Terminal uses live exchange data.
