What is Taurus?

Taurus is a futures prop firm designed to create a sustainable trading environment centered on long-term growth, professional development, and lasting opportunities within the futures markets.

Our mission is to help traders refine their skills in simulated trading environments while providing a clear path toward Profit Accounts and, based on continued performance, the opportunity to progress to live trading accounts backed by real capital.

Through this structured progression, Taurus seeks to build lasting professional relationships with skilled traders who demonstrate discipline, consistency, and responsible risk management.

Traders can operate through Taurus using DeepChart Web, DeepChart Desktop, and the DeepChart mobile app. Compatible platforms such as Quantower and ATAS are also available.

Taurus offers three types of Evaluations:

• FREES Safety

• FREES Max

• PRIME

Although these Evaluations share many of the same general conditions, each product has its own structure. Some differences apply during the Evaluation stage, while the most significant differences become relevant after the Evaluation is completed and the trader transitions to the corresponding Profit Account.

Taurus also offers DIRECT PRIME, which provides immediate access to a Sim Funded Profit Account without requiring the trader to complete an Evaluation.

This flexible account structure allows traders to select the option that best aligns with their experience, budget, trading approach, and long-term goals.

FREES: No Activation Fee After Completing the Evaluation

With FREES accounts, all costs are included upfront when the Evaluation is purchased. Once the trader successfully completes the Evaluation, there is no activation fee to transition to the corresponding Profit Account.

This can be a highly cost-effective option, particularly for experienced traders who approach their Evaluation with discipline and a long-term commitment.

Taurus offers two types of FREES Evaluations: FREES Safety and FREES Max. Their consistency structures differ between the Evaluation and Profit Account stages.

FREES Safety

The FREES Safety Evaluation does not have a consistency rule. This means that the Evaluation may be completed in a single trading day if the profit target is reached while following all applicable trading rules.

After successfully completing the Evaluation, the trader can transition to a FREES Safety Profit Account without paying an activation fee.

The main differences become relevant during the Profit Account stage. Unlike the Evaluation, the FREES Safety Profit Account applies a 35% consistency rule and requires the trader to comply with the applicable cushion and payout requirements.

FREES Max

The FREES Max Evaluation applies a 50% consistency rule. It is the only Taurus Evaluation with a consistency requirement.

This means that the trader’s highest profitable day cannot represent more than 50% of the total profit generated to complete the Evaluation. As a result, a FREES Max Evaluation must be completed over a minimum of two profitable trading days.

Once the Evaluation has been successfully completed, the trader can transition to a FREES Max Profit Account without paying an activation fee.

At this point, the consistency structure changes: while the Evaluation has a 50% consistency rule, the FREES Max Profit Account has no consistency rule, no daily loss limit, and no required cushion.

These conditions make FREES Max particularly suitable for traders who are comfortable managing the 50% consistency requirement during the Evaluation in exchange for a more flexible structure once they reach the Profit Account stage.

PRIME: One-Time Activation Fee After Completing the Evaluation

The PRIME model allows traders to purchase an Evaluation at a lower upfront cost.

The PRIME Evaluation does not have a consistency rule. This means that it may be completed in a single trading day if the profit target is reached while all applicable trading rules are followed.

After successfully completing the Evaluation, the trader can pay a one-time activation fee $119 to unlock the corresponding PRIME Profit Account.

The main differences apply after the transition to the Profit Account stage. The PRIME Profit Account has a 20% o 35 % consistency rule, along with its applicable cushion and payout requirements.

This model can be especially suitable for traders who are still refining their approach or navigating periods when market conditions are more challenging. PRIME provides the flexibility to pay the activation fee only for the accounts successfully completed, allowing traders to manage their investment based on their performance.

DIRECT PRIME: Immediate Access to a Profit Account

DIRECT PRIME allows traders to begin directly with a Sim Funded Profit Account without first completing an Evaluation.

Because there is no Evaluation stage, traders receive immediate access to the Profit Account stage and operate under the applicable PRIME Profit Account rules, with a 20% consistency, cushion, trading-day, and payout requirements.

This allows DIRECT PRIME traders to begin working toward the requirements for their first payout from the start.

Accessible and Flexible Evaluations

Taurus Evaluations are designed to provide traders with clear and accessible conditions:

• No minimum number of trading days

• No consistency rule for PRIME and FREES Safety Evaluations

• A 50% consistency rule only for FREES Max Evaluations

• A straightforward set of trading and risk-management rules

• The option to customize eligible Evaluations with the EOD Drawdown Add-On

The consistency rules that apply during the Evaluation stage should be distinguished from those that apply after transitioning to a Profit Account:

• FREES Safety: no consistency rule during the Evaluation and a 35% consistency rule in the Profit Account

• FREES Max: a 50% consistency rule during the Evaluation and no consistency rule in the Profit Account

• PRIME: no consistency rule during the Evaluation and a 20% or 35% consistency rule in the Profit Account

• DIRECT PRIME: no Evaluation stage; the trader begins directly under the applicable PRIME Profit Account rules

Taurus provides a transparent account structure without hidden fees. Any applicable cost, including the one-time PRIME activation fee, is clearly established in advance.

Once an Evaluation has been successfully completed, the trader can access the corresponding Profit Account under the conditions of the selected product. DIRECT PRIME traders receive immediate access to this stage without completing an Evaluation.

With continued success and consistent payouts, eligible traders may progress from simulated trading to a fully funded live trading account backed by real capital, establishing a professional, long-term relationship.
