Breakout offers three distinct evaluation types: Classic, Pro, and Turbo. Same firm, same profit split, same payout system. Different targets, different drawdown, different pricing.
The wrong choice costs you money. Picking Pro when you should've picked Classic means paying for difficulty you don't need. Picking Turbo when you can't handle 3% drawdown means burning $799 in a day.
As of April 2026, here's the complete breakdown with data at every account size and a decision framework for picking the right one.

| $200K | N/A | N/A | $1,399 | 24% ($48,000) | $1,199 | 10% ($20,000) |
A few patterns jump out immediately.
Classic is the most expensive at every size where it's available. But it also has the easiest targets. The $200 premium at $100K ($999 vs $799 Turbo) buys you double the drawdown room — $6,000 vs $3,000. That's a deal.
Pro is cheaper than Classic but has dramatically higher targets. The $100K Pro requires $22,000 in profit (22%) vs Classic's $10,000 (10%). You're saving $150 on the fee but needing to generate $12,000 more in profit to pass. The math doesn't favor Pro for most traders.
Turbo is cheapest everywhere. The $45 entry at $5K is the lowest barrier to funded crypto trading in the market. But 3% drawdown on crypto is like parking a Ferrari in a one-car garage — technically possible, practically terrifying.
Drawdown Comparison at Every Size
| Size | Classic DD (6%) | Pro DD (5%) | Turbo DD (3%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | 🏆 $300 | $250 | $150 |
| $10K | 🏆 $600 | $500 | $300 |
| $25K | 🏆 $1,500 | $1,250 | $750 |
| $50K | 🏆 $3,000 | $2,500 | $1,500 |
| $100K | 🏆 $6,000 | $5,000 | $3,000 |
| $200K | N/A | 🏆 $10,000 | $6,000 |
At $100K, Classic gives you $6,000 of room. Turbo gives you $3,000. That's the difference between surviving two bad BTC trades and not surviving one.
In dollar terms: a $100K account at 5:1 BTC leverage ($500K notional) hits a $3,000 loss from a 0.6% BTC move. That's 15 minutes of typical BTC volatility. On Classic's $6,000 drawdown, you survive a 1.2% move — still tight, but survivable in most sessions.
The Target-to-Drawdown Ratio
This ratio is the single best predictor of evaluation difficulty. Lower ratio = easier evaluation.
| Size | Classic Ratio | Pro Ratio | Turbo Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | 🏆 1.67x | 2.4x | 3.33x |
| $10K | 🏆 1.67x | 3.0x | 3.33x |
| $25K | 🏆 1.67x | 3.6x | 3.33x |
| $50K | 🏆 1.67x | 4.0x | 3.33x |
| $100K | 🏆 1.67x | 4.4x | 3.33x |
| $200K | N/A | 4.8x | 3.33x |
Classic maintains a constant 1.67x ratio across all sizes. You need to make 1.67x your drawdown in profit. That's achievable.
Pro's ratio scales from 2.4x to 4.8x as account size increases. The $200K Pro at 4.8x means you need to generate $4.80 in profit for every $1 of drawdown room. That's elite-level trading.
Turbo holds at 3.33x across all sizes. Harder than Classic, easier than Pro at larger sizes. But the absolute drawdown room ($3,000 on $100K) makes that ratio misleading — you have very little actual room for error.
Classic: The Right Choice for Most Traders
Classic 1-Step is the recommendation for 80%+ of traders. Here's why.
The 6% static drawdown gives you a comfortable buffer. On a $100K account, $6,000 lets you take 2-3 losing trades at moderate size before you're in danger. That's enough room to have bad days without blowing the evaluation.
The 10% target is achievable for competent crypto traders. A 10% return on a funded account is 2-4 well-timed trades on BTC at 3:1 leverage. Aggressive traders can hit it in days. Cautious traders can grind it out over weeks.
The 1.67x target-to-drawdown ratio is the most forgiving of any Breakout account type. You don't need an exceptional win rate or exceptional risk-reward. Solid, consistent trading gets the job done.
The downside: Classic caps at $100K. If you need $200K in a single account, you're forced into Pro or Turbo.
Pro: For Traders With Proven Track Records
Pro exists for one reason: access to $200K accounts with a more generous drawdown than Turbo.
The $200K Pro gives you $10,000 in drawdown room (5%) vs Turbo's $6,000 (3%). If you're specifically targeting a $200K individual account, Pro's extra drawdown room is worth the higher target requirement.
But the targets are brutal. At $200K, you need to generate $48,000 in profit (24%) with only $10,000 of drawdown room. That's a 4.8x ratio. Most traders can't sustain the return-to-risk profile required.
Pro makes sense if:
- You've consistently generated 20%+ returns with sub-5% max drawdown over 3+ months
- You specifically need a $200K account and want more drawdown room than Turbo
- The lower fee ($849 vs $999 at $100K) matters for your budget
At smaller sizes, Pro's difficulty advantage is less extreme. The $5K Pro (12% target, 5% DD) is only slightly harder than Classic (10% target, 6% DD). If you're testing at $5K or $10K, Pro is a reasonable option.
Turbo: Budget Entry for Precision Traders
Turbo is the cheapest path into Breakout. The $45 entry at $5K is pocket change. The $799 at $100K saves $200 vs Classic.
The tradeoff is 3% static drawdown. Here's what that means in practice on a $100K account:
- Total drawdown room: $3,000
- One BTC trade at 5:1 leverage ($500K notional) with a 0.6% stop: done
- Two BTC trades at 2:1 leverage ($200K notional) with 0.75% stops: done
- The daily loss limit (3%) equals the max drawdown — one bad day can be terminal
Turbo's 3% drawdown and 3% daily loss means there's no buffer between a bad day and account death. On Classic, you can lose your entire daily limit ($3,000) and still have $3,000 of max drawdown remaining. On Turbo, losing the daily limit IS hitting the max drawdown.
Turbo works only for traders who:
- Take very small, very precise positions
- Never risk more than 0.5-1% per trade
- Have a win rate above 70% with tight stops
- Can handle the psychological pressure of zero margin for error
Decision Framework
What's Your Budget?
If you're on a tight budget and plan to retry multiple times, Turbo's lower fees preserve capital for additional attempts. Failing five Turbo $100K evaluations costs $3,995. Failing five Classic costs $4,995. That's $1,000 saved for more attempts.
But cheaper evaluations with tighter drawdown likely means more failures. If Turbo's 3% DD causes you to fail twice as often, the per-attempt savings are negated by the additional attempts.
What Account Size Do You Need?
- $5K-$100K: Classic 1-Step. No question for most traders.
- $200K only via Pro or Turbo: Pro if you have a proven high-return track record. Turbo if you're a precision low-risk trader.
- $200K with maximum room: Pro ($10,000 DD) beats Turbo ($6,000 DD).
What's Your Trading Style?
- Swing traders (multi-day holds): Classic. The 6% drawdown survives overnight gaps.
- Scalpers (many small trades): Classic or Turbo. Turbo's lower fee is attractive if your per-trade risk is tiny.
- Aggressive traders (large positions): Classic only. You need the 6% drawdown.
- High-frequency bot traders: Turbo can work if the bot maintains sub-1% drawdown consistently.
What's Your Expected Pass Rate?
If you expect to pass within 1-2 attempts: Classic. The higher fee is offset by the higher pass probability, and the fee gets refunded anyway.
If you expect 5+ attempts: Turbo's lower fee saves money over many attempts, assuming the tighter drawdown doesn't increase your failure rate proportionally.
My Recommendation
Default choice: Classic 1-Step. For $999 at $100K ($0 net after refund), you get the most forgiving evaluation in Breakout's lineup. The 1.67x target-to-drawdown ratio gives you realistic odds of passing. The 6% static drawdown provides enough room to trade normally.
Exception 1: Pro $200K. If you specifically need $200K in a single account and you have a verified track record of 20%+ returns with controlled drawdown. Don't guess. Look at your last 3-6 months of trading data. If you can't prove the performance, don't attempt Pro.
Exception 2: Turbo $5K. At $45, Turbo's $5K account is a cheap way to test Breakout's platform and rules before committing to a larger evaluation. Treat it as a paid trial run. If you pass, great. If you fail, you've spent less than a dinner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Breakout account type is easiest to pass?
Classic 1-Step is the easiest with a 1.67x target-to-drawdown ratio across all sizes. It has the most drawdown room (6%) and the lowest targets relative to that room. Pro and Turbo both have ratios above 2.4x.
Is Turbo worth it just because it's cheaper?
Only if you can trade profitably within 3% max drawdown. Most traders can't. The $200 savings at $100K ($799 vs $999) is meaningless if the tighter drawdown causes you to fail more often. Classic's extra drawdown room has higher expected value for most trading styles.
Can I switch between Classic, Pro, and Turbo at Breakout?
No. Once you purchase an evaluation, you can't switch account types. You'd need to buy a new evaluation. This is why the decision matters upfront.
Which Breakout account offers $200K?
Pro and Turbo only. Classic 1-Step caps at $100K. Pro $200K costs $1,399 with 24% target and 5% DD. Turbo $200K costs $1,199 with 10% target and 3% DD.
Do all three account types have the same profit split?
Yes. Classic, Pro, and Turbo all share the same profit split: 80% default, 90% add-on, 95% after three months of profitability with two payouts. Account type doesn't affect the split.
What's the cheapest way to start at Breakout?
Turbo $5K at $45. It's the lowest-cost evaluation across all account types and sizes. Classic $5K is $60 and Pro $5K is $50. All fees get refunded on first payout.
Which account type is best for scalping at Breakout?
Classic 1-Step provides the best balance of drawdown room and target difficulty for scalpers. Turbo works only for extremely precise scalpers who risk less than 0.5% per trade. Pro's high targets make scalping to the target impractical at larger sizes.
Does the drawdown work the same on all three account types?
All three use static drawdown. The percentage differs: Classic 6%, Pro 5%, Turbo 3%. Static means the floor is set at account creation and never moves regardless of profits. The 3% daily loss limit is identical across all three types.
Should I start with a small Turbo to test, then do a larger Classic?
Yes, this is a solid strategy. A $5K Turbo ($45) or $10K Turbo ($85) lets you experience Breakout's platform, execution, and rules cheaply. If you pass, you've got a funded account. If you fail, you've spent less than $100 and gained valuable experience before committing to a $999 Classic $100K.
Is the Pro $5K worth trying since the target is only 12%?
Yes. The $5K Pro at $50 with a 12% target and 5% DD (2.4x ratio) is only marginally harder than Classic's 1.67x ratio. At small account sizes, Pro's difficulty premium is modest. The $10 savings vs Classic ($50 vs $60) is trivial, but the experience of trading with 5% DD is useful preparation if you later attempt a $200K Pro.
The bottom line: Classic 1-Step is the right choice for the vast majority of Breakout traders. The 6% static drawdown and 10% target create the most passable evaluation across all account types. Pro exists for traders who need $200K and can prove they belong at that level. Turbo exists for budget-conscious precision traders who can operate within extreme constraints. When in doubt, choose Classic. The extra $200 at $100K buys you double the drawdown room, and the fee is refunded on first payout anyway.
