Currently testing: I'm actively trading NEOMAAA Funded accounts right now, working through their rule set across both Origin and Prime products. What you're reading here is based on hands-on experience with their platform and live rule enforcement.
NEOMAAA Funded has seven account types with different drawdown mechanics and profit targets. I broke down every rule in my complete NEOMAAA Funded rules overview, including real scenarios and position sizing calculations. For the absolute latest, check NEOMAAA Funded's website or their help center.
The reset fee at NEOMAAA Funded is 85% of the original account price, meaning you get a 15% discount when retrying a failed evaluation. As of March 2026, that puts the reset cost for a $100K 1-Step Origin at $506.60 instead of the full $596.
I'm trading NEOMAAA Funded accounts right now, and the reset discount is one of those details you don't think about until you need it. I've reset accounts at other firms before, and the savings percentage varies wildly across the industry. NEOMAAA Funded's 15% isn't the most generous I've seen, but it's in the reasonable range.
Here's the full breakdown of reset costs for every account type, when it makes sense to reset versus buying fresh, and how to think about the total cost of multiple attempts.
How Much Does It Cost to Reset Each NEOMAAA Funded Account?
The 15% discount applies uniformly across all NEOMAAA Funded evaluation accounts. The reset fee is simply 85% of the original MT5 base price.
| Account Type ($100K) | Original Price | Reset Fee (85%) | You Save | Total After 1 Reset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Step Origin | $596 | $506.60 | $89.40 | $1,102.60 |
| 2-Step Origin | $485 | $412.25 | $72.75 | $897.25 |
| 1-Step Prime | $640 | $544.00 | $96.00 | $1,184.00 |
| 2-Step Prime | $560 | $476.00 | $84.00 | $1,036.00 |
| NOVA 1-Step | $300 | $255.00 | $45.00 | $555.00 |
Note: Instant Prime and Instant Origin don't have evaluation phases, so the concept of a "reset" doesn't apply to them in the same way. If you blow an Instant account, you'd need to purchase a new one at full price.
The "Total After 1 Reset" column is the number that should catch your eye. One failed attempt plus one reset on a $100K 1-Step Origin puts you at $1,102.60. That's approaching the cost of two fresh accounts.
What Does a Reset Give You at NEOMAAA Funded?
When you reset a failed evaluation at NEOMAAA Funded, you get:
- A fresh account with the original starting balance ($100K, $50K, $25K, etc.)
- All drawdown limits reset to their starting positions
- A clean profit/loss slate starting from $0
- The same rules and parameters as your original account type
- On NOVA: a fresh 30-day timer
What you don't get:
- Credit for any progress made before the failure
- A different account type or different rules
- Any carry-over of profit from the failed attempt
- A free reset (every reset costs money)
A reset is essentially buying the same product again at a 15% discount. Nothing from the old account transfers.
How Many Times Can You Reset at NEOMAAA Funded?
NEOMAAA Funded doesn't cap the number of resets. You can reset as many times as you want, and each reset costs 85% of the original price.
But the math gets uncomfortable fast. Here's what multiple resets cost on a $100K 1-Step Origin ($596 original):
| Attempt | Cost | Cumulative Total | Equivalent Fresh Accounts |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st (original) | $596.00 | $596.00 | 1.0 |
| 2nd (1st reset) | $506.60 | $1,102.60 | 1.85 |
| 3rd (2nd reset) | $506.60 | $1,609.20 | 2.70 |
| 4th (3rd reset) | $506.60 | $2,115.80 | 3.55 |
| 5th (4th reset) | $506.60 | $2,622.40 | 4.40 |
By the fourth attempt, you've spent $2,115.80. That's enough for 3.5 fresh 1-Step Origin accounts, each with its own independent shot at passing. The savings from the 15% discount get diluted quickly when you're resetting repeatedly.
I've been through this calculation at other firms. The pattern is always the same. One reset is almost always worth it. Two resets deserve serious thought. Three or more resets should make you question whether the problem is the account or your trading.
When Should You Reset vs Buy a New Account?
Resetting saves you 15%, which on most NEOMAAA Funded accounts works out to $45-$96. The question is whether that discount justifies resetting versus buying fresh, potentially on a different account type.
Reset makes sense when:
You breached early due to a clear mistake (news event you forgot about, position sizing error, accidental overnight hold). Your trading was otherwise profitable, and the breach was an isolated incident. Paying 85% to try again with the same setup is rational.
You're close to understanding the account's mechanics and just need another shot. First attempts at a new firm are often learning experiences. The second attempt tends to go better because you've internalized the platform, the drawdown behavior, and the fill quality.
Buying a new account makes sense when:
You want to switch account types. If you failed a 1-Step Prime (3% daily DD, 5% max trailing) because the drawdown limits were too tight, resetting gets you the same tight limits. Buying a 2-Step Origin ($485, 4% daily DD, 8% max trailing) gives you more room at a lower price.
You've already reset once. The cumulative cost of original + first reset on a 1-Step Origin is $1,102.60. A second reset brings it to $1,609.20. At that point, you could buy a fresh 2-Step Origin ($485) with completely different rules and have spent $1,587.60 total across your Origin and the new 2-Step. Almost the same cost, but with two different evaluation structures.
You failed multiple times due to the same issue. If the trailing drawdown keeps catching you, resetting the same account won't fix that. Consider a different account type, or step down to a smaller account size where the dollar drawdown is proportionally easier to manage.
How Does NEOMAAA Funded's Reset Compare to Other Firms?
The 15% reset discount is middle-of-the-road in the prop trading industry. Some firms offer steeper discounts. Others charge full price or near-full price for resets.
| Firm | Reset Discount | You Pay | Reset Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEOMAAA Funded | 15% off | 85% of original | Per-reset fee |
| e8 Markets | Free (conditions) | $0 if eligible | Conditional free reset |
| Topstep | N/A (subscription) | Monthly fee continues | Auto-reset on subscription |
| TakeProfitTrader | N/A (subscription) | Monthly fee continues | Auto-reset on subscription |
Subscription firms like Topstep and TakeProfitTrader handle resets differently. You don't pay a separate reset fee because you're already paying monthly. If you fail, your account resets at the start of the next billing cycle (or immediately, depending on the firm). The tradeoff is ongoing monthly cost even while you're not actively trading.
NEOMAAA Funded's one-time-fee-plus-discounted-reset model works best for traders who don't want recurring charges. You pay once, trade until you pass or fail, and only pay again if you need to retry.
Does a Reset Preserve Any Progress at NEOMAAA Funded?
No. A NEOMAAA Funded reset starts you at zero. Your account balance resets to the original starting amount. All profit or loss is erased. The drawdown floors return to their initial positions.
On NOVA accounts, the 30-day timer also resets. You get a fresh 30 calendar days.
There's no partial credit. If you were at 8% of a 10% profit target and breached the drawdown, that 8% disappears. You start at 0% again. This is standard across the industry, but it still stings when you were close.
The takeaway: treat every attempt as independent. Don't think of a reset as "continuing" your evaluation. It's a brand new evaluation at a discounted price.
How Should You Use the W35 Promo Code with Resets?
As of March 2026, NEOMAAA Funded's W35 promo code offers 35% off plus buy-one-get-one (BOGO). This only applies to new account purchases, not resets.
This changes the reset math significantly. If you buy a $100K 1-Step Origin with W35:
- Original price: $596
- With W35 (35% off): $387.40
- Plus BOGO: you get two accounts for $387.40 ($193.70 each)
If one of those accounts fails and you want to reset, the reset fee is based on the original price, not the discounted price. So the reset would be $506.60 (85% of $596).
That means your reset costs more than what you paid for the original discounted account. In this case, it's smarter to buy another new account with the promo code rather than resetting.
Always check if promo codes are still active before choosing between reset and new purchase. A good promotion can make buying fresh significantly cheaper than resetting.
What's the True Cost of Multiple Failures at NEOMAAA Funded?
Let's be real about the numbers. Most traders don't pass on their first attempt. If you're budgeting for NEOMAAA Funded, plan for at least two attempts.
Here's the total cost for different scenarios on a $100K 1-Step Origin ($596):
Scenario A: Pass on first try.
- Total cost: $596
- NEOMAAA Funded refunds 100% at second withdrawal, so effective cost drops to $0 if you reach the second payout
Scenario B: Fail once, pass on reset.
- Total cost: $596 + $506.60 = $1,102.60
- With 100% refund at second withdrawal: effective cost = $506.60
Scenario C: Fail twice, pass on second reset.
- Total cost: $596 + $506.60 + $506.60 = $1,609.20
- With 100% refund at second withdrawal: effective cost = $1,013.20
Scenario D: Fail three times, buy fresh instead of resetting.
- Total cost: $596 + $506.60 + $506.60 + $596 (new) = $2,205.20
- Or with promo: potentially much less on the new purchase
The 100% refund at the second funded withdrawal is a nice backstop. It means your original account fee gets returned, but only the fee from the account you're currently trading (not all previous failed attempts). So if you failed twice and passed on the third try, you'd get back $506.60 (the cost of the third attempt) at your second withdrawal.
That still leaves the sunk costs of the first two failed attempts unrecovered.
How Do You Avoid Needing Resets at NEOMAAA Funded?
The cheapest reset is the one you never need. A few habits reduce the chance of blowing an evaluation.
Use the first 3-5 days with minimal size. Learn the platform, test the execution, confirm the drawdown mechanics match what you expect. Don't risk meaningful capital until you're comfortable with NEOMAAA Funded's specific setup. This is especially true if you're coming from a different platform.
Respect the daily drawdown above all. Most evaluation failures happen because of a daily drawdown breach, not the trailing max drawdown. I covered the daily limits in my daily drawdown guide. Set a personal daily loss limit at 50-60% of the actual daily allowance.
Don't trade on major news days during evaluation. On funded accounts, NEOMAAA Funded restricts trading within 5 minutes of Tier 1 news events. During evaluation, that restriction doesn't exist, which means you can trade through FOMC and NFP. But should you? A single bad news candle can breach your daily drawdown in seconds. Skip the high-risk events.
Size down after losing days. Two consecutive losing days is a signal, not a challenge. Cut your position size by 50% on the third day. The math favors survival over recovery.
Know when to walk away. If your account is down 60%+ of your max drawdown and you haven't made meaningful progress toward the profit target, consider whether another $500+ on a reset will produce a different result. Sometimes the answer is to step back, refine your approach, and come back later.
The bottom line: NEOMAAA Funded's 15% reset discount saves you $45-$96 per retry depending on account type. One reset is usually worth it. Two or more resets start eating into the territory where buying a fresh account (possibly a different type, or with a promo code) makes more financial sense. The real win is passing on the first or second attempt. Budget for two tries, trade like you only have one, and always check for active promotions before choosing between reset and new purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to reset at NEOMAAA Funded?
NEOMAAA Funded charges 85% of the original account price to reset a failed evaluation. On a $100K 1-Step Origin ($596 original), the reset costs $506.60. On a $100K 2-Step Origin ($485 original), the reset costs $412.25.
What discount does NEOMAAA Funded offer on evaluation resets?
NEOMAAA Funded offers a 15% discount on evaluation resets. This means you pay 85% of the original account fee for each retry attempt. The discount applies to all evaluation account types including Origin, Prime, and NOVA.
Can you reset a NEOMAAA Funded account multiple times?
Yes. NEOMAAA Funded doesn't limit the number of resets. Each reset costs 85% of the original price. However, costs compound quickly across multiple attempts, and after 2-3 resets the cumulative cost often exceeds what you'd pay for multiple fresh accounts.
Does a NEOMAAA Funded reset preserve any progress?
No. A reset at NEOMAAA Funded starts you with a completely fresh account. Your balance returns to the original starting amount, all profit and loss is erased, drawdown floors reset to initial positions, and NOVA accounts get a fresh 30-day timer.
Is it better to reset or buy a new NEOMAAA Funded account?
Resetting at NEOMAAA Funded saves 15% versus buying new at full price. One reset is almost always worth it. But if you've already reset once and active promo codes are available (like W35 for 35% off plus BOGO), buying a new account with the discount could be significantly cheaper than resetting.
What is the reset fee for NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA account?
NEOMAAA Funded's $100K NOVA account has an original price of $300. The reset fee at 85% is $255, saving you $45 per retry. On NOVA, the reset also gives you a fresh 30-calendar-day timer to hit the 6% profit target.
Does NEOMAAA Funded refund the reset fee?
NEOMAAA Funded offers a 100% refund of your account fee at your second funded withdrawal. This refund applies to the fee of the account you're currently trading (the one you passed), not the cumulative cost of all previous failed attempts and resets.
How does NEOMAAA Funded's reset fee compare to other prop firms?
NEOMAAA Funded's 15% reset discount is mid-range in the prop trading industry. Some firms like e8 Markets offer conditional free resets. Subscription-based firms like Topstep and TakeProfitTrader don't charge separate reset fees because your monthly subscription covers unlimited resets during your billing period.
Should you reset the same NEOMAAA Funded account type after failing?
Resetting the same NEOMAAA Funded account type makes sense if the failure was due to a specific mistake rather than the account's drawdown limits being too tight. If the 3% daily drawdown on 1-Step Prime caused repeated breaches, resetting that same account will likely produce the same outcome. Consider switching to 2-Step Prime with its 5% daily limit.
How much can you spend on resets before it's too much at NEOMAAA Funded?
A reasonable budget for NEOMAAA Funded is 2-3 total attempts (original plus 1-2 resets). On a $100K 1-Step Origin, that's $596 + $506.60 = $1,102.60 for two attempts, or $1,609.20 for three. Beyond three attempts, the cumulative cost exceeds what most traders can justify without reassessing their trading approach.
