Quick answer: The TTT Markets $350K account is currently available only through the 1-Step Standard and 2-Step Standard routes. The 1-Step costs $2,499 and targets $35,000 in one phase; the 2-Step costs $2,299 and targets $28,000 in Phase 1 plus $17,500 in Phase 2. Both advertise a 4% daily loss limit and 8% overall loss limit before eligible upgrades, but TTT Markets’ current program-specific help pages describe the 1-Step limits as trailing and the 2-Step overall limit as static. The verified coupon code BRIDGE reduces an eligible base purchase by 12.5%: about $312.38 on 1-Step or $287.38 on 2-Step.

Fact-check status: Reviewed against TTT Markets’ dedicated program table, current Help Centre rules, the live Prop Firm Bridge record and checkout-facing add-on descriptions on 25 August 2026. This guide separates confirmed facts from calculations and practical opinions. Prop trading is risky, rules can change, and no purchase or payout is guaranteed.
The $350,000 tier is a serious simulated-capital evaluation, not a shortcut to effortless income. Its headline balance is large, but the number that should govern every decision is the allowed loss budget. At the standard settings, 4% daily drawdown equals $14,000 and 8% overall drawdown equals $28,000. Those figures are larger than many retail accounts, yet they can disappear quickly if a trader treats the nominal $350K balance as money available to risk. The route only makes sense for a trader whose position sizing, journaling and compliance process are already stable.
There are exactly two genuine $350K routes in the current data: 1-Step Standard and 2-Step Standard. We found no $350K Lite, Instant Funding or Subscription option, so none is represented as available here. That distinction matters for search accuracy. A trader looking for a “TTT Markets $350K instant account” may find generic pages mentioning instant funding, but the current instant range stops below $350K. Likewise, the Lite and Subscription ranges stop earlier.
Our practical preference for most disciplined traders is the 2-Step Standard. It costs $200 less before discounts, uses a confirmed static overall drawdown, starts funded payouts at a higher 70% split and has a confirmed scaling path after 10% profit for three consecutive months. The cost is an additional evaluation phase: $28,000 in Phase 1 and $17,500 in Phase 2. The 1-Step can be faster because it requires only one $35,000 target, but its official trailing-loss description and lower first payout split make the path less forgiving than the one-phase label suggests.
If the firm later changes its range, the live selector and the contractual terms shown at purchase should control. This article documents the verified structure at review time and avoids extending rules from a different program merely because the names sound similar.

The estimated discounted totals above use ordinary arithmetic: base fee multiplied by 0.875. They are not a promise that every product, currency, tax, add-on or temporary campaign will accept the code. Enter BRIDGE at checkout, verify that the reduction is visible before paying and retain the receipt.
The listed base fee is $2,499. A 12.5% discount equals $312.375, which rounds to $312.38 when displayed to cents. Subtracting it produces an estimated total of $2,186.625, normally displayed as $2,186.63. The calculation is $2,499 × 12.5% = $312.375 saved, then $2,499 − $312.375 = $2,186.625.
Use BRIDGE through the TTT Markets partner checkout and check the final line item before payment. If checkout displays a different total, the live checkout—not a rounded editorial example—determines the transaction. Currency conversion, local taxes, payment fees and selected upgrades can change the charged amount.
The listed base fee is $2,299. The 12.5% BRIDGE saving is $287.375, shown as approximately $287.38. The estimated total is $2,011.625, shown as approximately $2,011.63. That makes 2-Step about $175 cheaper than the discounted 1-Step on base-price arithmetic, while its undiscounted fee is $200 lower.
The lower price does not automatically make 2-Step “better.” It buys a longer path with two targets. The decision should be based on drawdown geometry, payout split, execution discipline and the likelihood of needing a new attempt—not just the initial checkout amount. Our dedicated TTT Markets coupon code BRIDGE guide explains verification and seasonal-offer handling in more detail.
TTT Markets may display a temporary seasonal code on its public shop. At the time of this review, the shop advertised a separate time-limited evaluation offer. BRIDGE remains the Prop Firm Bridge code recorded at 12.5% for eligible purchases. Do not assume two codes stack. Compare the live totals, eligibility and attached conditions, then select the valid option that produces the better lawful result for the exact configuration you are buying.
A larger temporary percentage can beat BRIDGE for a short campaign, but it may expire, exclude a program or carry different conditions. This article does not rewrite a temporary campaign as a permanent BRIDGE benefit. The correct SEO answer is also the honest buyer answer: BRIDGE is the verified PFB code, while the checkout remains the final pricing authority.
This audit identified a material conflict. The stored Prop Firm Bridge challenge record described 1-Step Standard as an 8% static maximum drawdown. TTT Markets’ current program-specific Help Centre states that both the 8% overall and 4% daily limits are trailing and move upward with new highs. Because a dedicated, current rule page is more specific than a database summary, this article applies the official trailing interpretation to the $350K 1-Step.
This is not a minor wording difference. A static $28,000 overall allowance would keep the floor at $322,000. A trailing rule can lift that floor as the account reaches new highs. If the account rises to $360,000 and the rule trails dollar for dollar, a simplified overall floor would rise to $332,000. The precise live calculation and any cap should be confirmed in the terms attached to the purchased account; do not trade from this simplified illustration alone.
For the 2-Step Standard, the official rule is clearer: maximum overall drawdown is 8% of the initial balance, while the daily limit is 4% and is based on whichever is higher at the start of the day, balance or equity. On $350K, the static overall floor begins at $322,000 and does not become a moving floor merely because profits increase.
Before the first trade, download or screenshot the checkout summary, dashboard objectives and applicable terms. If any three sources disagree, ask support to confirm the calculation in writing. A $350K label magnifies the financial consequence of assuming the wrong rule.
The one-phase target is 10%, equal to $35,000. Reaching a displayed balance of $385,000 is the simple target arithmetic, but passing also requires compliance with all loss, consistency and strategy rules. A single oversized trade that creates most of the target may trigger review even if the dashboard shows the required profit.
At the base setting, 4% is $14,000 and 8% is $28,000. The current 1-Step Help Centre describes both as trailing. It also describes the daily threshold from the highest equity point, meaning floating profit can matter. Traders should not treat $14,000 as a comfortable daily risk allowance; it is a breach boundary. A sensible operational cap is often a fraction of that number.
The official 1-Step guidance calculates average lot size from total trading activity and expects sizes to remain no more than 200% above and no less than 25% below the average. It also says no single trade should generate the majority of profits, requires 14 separate trading days for the relevant funded review and warns that very short placeholder trades may not count. This makes “one huge winner, then tiny trades to fill days” a poor plan.
The official split sequence is 50% on the first withdrawal, 70% on the second and 80% on subsequent withdrawals. If the account generates $10,000 of eligible profit, a 50% first split would allocate $5,000 to the trader before any method-specific costs or adjustments. At 70%, the same gross profit implies $7,000; at 80%, $8,000.
The first withdrawal requires both at least 21 calendar days from the first trade and 14 trading days. Requests submitted before Monday 10 PM GMT are typically processed Wednesday. Meeting the calendar does not waive payout review, consistency, identity or compliance checks.
This path is most defensible for a trader who strongly values one evaluation phase, can distribute profit over multiple valid days and understands trailing equity mechanics. It is less suitable for traders who rely on wide floating drawdown, pyramid aggressively into winners, change lot size dramatically, or expect the word “one-step” to mean “instant.”
Phase 1 requires 8%, equal to $28,000. The simple target balance is $378,000. With no published evaluation time limit in the current program rules, traders can prioritize clean execution rather than forcing the target into a short promotional timeframe. Unlimited time is useful only if the trader actually uses it to reduce risk.
Phase 2 requires 5%, equal to $17,500, corresponding to a simple target balance of $367,500. The second phase is not permission to increase risk because the percentage is smaller. It is another assessment of whether the method can operate inside the same daily and overall loss architecture.
The confirmed 8% static maximum loss is $28,000 from initial balance, putting the overall breach line at $322,000 under the basic arithmetic. Profits create additional distance above that fixed floor. If the account reaches $360,000, the nominal distance to $322,000 is $38,000, although the separate daily rule can still breach much earlier.
The daily limit is 4%, equal to $14,000 at the original balance, and the official rule says the reference at the start of the day is whichever is higher: balance or equity. If the day begins with a $357,000 balance and $360,000 equity, 4% of the higher $360,000 reference is $14,400. Traders must confirm reset time and dashboard calculation because deposits, closed profit and floating positions can affect the operative reference.
The first funded withdrawal pays the trader 70% of eligible profit, with subsequent withdrawals at 80%. The first withdrawal becomes available 14 calendar days after the first funded trade; later withdrawals are available every 14 days. Requests before Monday 10 PM GMT are typically processed Wednesday. The general payout page currently lists a $100 minimum and no maximum, but compliance review still governs approval.
The 2-Step scaling rule says the balance can double at no additional cost after achieving 10% profit for three consecutive months. Starting from $350,000, a literal doubling would be $700,000. Any further scaling, aggregation or maximum allocation must follow the then-current program terms; do not extrapolate an unlimited ladder from one confirmed step.
It is cheaper, begins with the stronger 70% funded split, has a confirmed static overall floor and has an official scaling pathway. Those advantages usually outweigh the extra evaluation phase for a risk-first trader. A fast trader may still prefer 1-Step, but speed should be evaluated after accounting for the trailing-rule burden and payout progression.
| Configuration | 1-Step pre-discount | 2-Step pre-discount | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | $2,499.00 | $2,299.00 | Standard 4% daily / 8% overall |
| Drawdown Upgrade (+20%) | $2,998.80 | $2,758.80 | 5% daily / 10% overall |
| Account Protection (+30%) | $3,248.70 | $2,988.70 | Eligible evaluation drawdown recovery option |
| Both listed percentages added | $3,748.50 | $3,448.50 | Illustrative arithmetic; confirm compatibility and checkout |
Do not assume BRIDGE applies identically to the add-on portion. If it applies to the full configured subtotal, multiplying by 0.875 would produce illustrative totals of $2,623.95 for 1-Step with Drawdown Upgrade and $2,413.95 for 2-Step with Drawdown Upgrade. With Account Protection alone, the analogous estimates are $2,842.61 and $2,615.11. These are calculations, not quoted checkout guarantees.
The upgrade costs 20% of the evaluation fee and changes the published limits from 4% daily and 8% overall to 5% daily and 10% overall. On $350K, the upgraded dollar limits are $17,500 daily and $35,000 overall. It adds $499.80 to the 1-Step base or $459.80 to the 2-Step base before any discount treatment.
The decision is not simply “more drawdown is better.” Divide the added fee by the extra risk room. The upgrade adds $3,500 of daily boundary and $7,000 of overall boundary. If your tested strategy never approaches the base limits, the add-on may be unnecessary. If ordinary volatility repeatedly approaches them despite disciplined sizing, the buffer may be valuable—but an add-on should not legitimize uncontrolled exposure.
Account Protection costs 30% of the original evaluation fee and covers eligible drawdown breaches during the evaluation phase. The official explanation says an eligible account may be reclaimed within seven days for 40% of the original pre-discount evaluation fee. On the $350K tier, that recovery payment is $999.60 for 1-Step or $919.60 for 2-Step, in addition to the protection premium already paid.
It does not cover prohibited strategies, fraud, account sharing, KYC violations, gambling-style behavior, consistency violations or other excluded misconduct. Therefore it is protection against specified drawdown failure, not a blanket refund and not permission to break policy.
The 1-Step rules list weekend holding as prohibited by default, while an eligible Weekend Holding add-on may be offered. Availability and pricing should be checked on the exact $350K configuration. A swing trader should never assume that selecting another add-on silently enables weekend exposure.
TTT Markets’ buyback feature applies to eligible breached funded 1-Step and 2-Step accounts, subject to internal review. The price is 2% of account size. For $350,000, that equals $7,000. If approved, the official page says the account is reinstated to its initial balance within 12 hours. This is separate from Account Protection, which concerns an eligible evaluation breach and must be purchased in advance.
A $7,000 buyback should be assessed like a fresh business decision, not an emotional attempt to recover losses. Review why the breach happened, compare the buyback against a new discounted evaluation, and confirm whether any warning or strategy restriction remains attached. If the root cause was oversized risk, immediate reinstatement without process change can convert one loss into two.
| Risk per trade | Dollar risk | Losses to $14K daily boundary | Losses to $28K overall boundary |

The “losses to boundary” column is a clean mathematical ratio, not a safe trading recommendation. Slippage, commissions, correlated positions, daily reset logic and floating loss can cause a breach sooner. Professional planning uses an internal stop well before the firm boundary—for example, stopping after two planned losses or at 0.75% to 1% daily—rather than using every dollar available.
At 0.10% risk, one R equals $350. The 1-Step target is 100R and the 2-Step targets are 80R then 50R. At 0.25%, one R is $875; the same targets are 40R, 32R and 20R. At 0.50%, one R is $1,750; targets compress to 20R, 16R and 10R, but the daily boundary is only eight full losing R before slippage. Higher percentage risk shortens the mathematical target while steepening the probability and emotional cost of a losing sequence.
A 1:2 reward-to-risk model at 0.25% risks $875 to target $1,750. Twenty net winning R would equal the $35,000 1-Step objective, but “twenty winners” is not the same as twenty net R because losses subtract. With 18 winners and 12 losses at 1:2, gross outcome before costs is 36R minus 12R = 24R, or $21,000. This is why target timelines should be built from expectancy, not wishful winner counts.
Expectancy in R is win rate multiplied by average win, minus loss rate multiplied by average loss. At a 45% win rate with 2R average wins and 1R losses, expectancy is 0.45×2 − 0.55×1 = 0.35R per trade before costs. At 0.25% risk, that is a theoretical $306.25 average per trade. Dividing a $35,000 target by $306.25 suggests about 114 trades in expectation, not a deadline or guarantee.
Variance matters more than the average. A profitable system can experience six or eight losses in a row. At 0.25% risk, eight full losses equal $7,000, or 2% of initial balance. That is survivable under both base overall limits but psychologically demanding. At 1% risk, the same sequence consumes the entire 8% overall allowance before slippage, and a daily cluster can breach sooner.
Treat multiple positions in correlated instruments as one risk idea. Long EURUSD, long GBPUSD and short USDCHF may be three tickets but can express a concentrated short-dollar exposure. A dashboard that shows each stop as 0.25% does not make the portfolio risk 0.25%; the combined shock can be closer to 0.75% or worse.
| Eligible gross profit | 1-Step first at 50% | 1-Step second at 70% | Later / 2-Step later at 80% | 2-Step first at 70% |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000.00 | $500.00 | $700.00 | $800.00 | $700.00 |
| $2,500.00 | $1,250.00 | $1,750.00 | $2,000.00 | $1,750.00 |
| $5,000.00 | $2,500.00 | $3,500.00 | $4,000.00 | $3,500.00 |
| $10,000.00 | $5,000.00 | $7,000.00 | $8,000.00 | $7,000.00 |
| $17,500.00 | $8,750.00 | $12,250.00 | $14,000.00 | $12,250.00 |
| $28,000.00 | $14,000.00 | $19,600.00 | $22,400.00 | $19,600.00 |
| $35,000.00 | $17,500.00 | $24,500.00 | $28,000.00 | $24,500.00 |
These examples apply a headline split to hypothetical eligible gross profit. They do not promise that evaluation targets are withdrawable, that all simulated profit qualifies, or that a request will be approved. The funded-stage rules, review outcome, minimum payout, identity verification and payment processing determine actual eligibility.
Begin below normal risk. Confirm symbol specifications, commissions, spread behavior, rollover, server time and how the dashboard updates daily and overall thresholds. Use the same entry and exit process you plan to keep. The goal is not to make a heroic first-week return; it is to prove that the environment and your risk calculator agree.
If execution data matches testing, move to the planned base risk without changing strategy. Keep daily risk capped, record screenshots of threshold values and avoid introducing a new instrument after losses. For 1-Step, monitor average lot size and valid trading-day requirements. For 2-Step, track the static overall floor separately from the changing daily reference.
When the account is in profit, reduce the temptation to accelerate. A 1-Step trader must be especially cautious because the official trailing interpretation can reduce effective room as equity makes new highs. A 2-Step trader has a static overall floor but can still fail through the daily rule. Protecting a 7% gain is more rational than doubling risk to reach the last 3% in one session.
Verify every eligibility condition before requesting a payout or expecting a phase transition. Reconcile closed profit, floating equity, valid days, lot-size consistency and prohibited-behavior flags. Stop trading when a request is pending if the applicable instructions recommend it. Save correspondence and transaction records for an audit trail.

The following scenarios turn the headline rules into decisions. They are educational examples, not trading signals. Every scenario assumes a $350,000 starting balance and ignores commissions and slippage unless stated. Traders must calculate actual contract values on their platform.
This trader enters only after a defined range break and confirmation. One planned loss equals $350.00 and a 2R winner equals $700.00. Three consecutive full losses would remove $1,050.00, or 0.30% of initial balance. Against the base $14,000 daily boundary, those three losses use 7.5% of the published dollar limit. Against the $28,000 base overall allowance, they consume 3.8%. This comparison shows why the nominal $350K balance is not the usable risk budget.
The main hazard is false breaks and correlated USD exposure. The operating control is one currency theme at a time. If two positions express the same macro idea, their risks are added before entry. A trader does not call each ticket “0.10% risk” and ignore the portfolio total. The internal stop for the day should sit well below the firm’s breach line so spread expansion, commission and floating loss cannot convert a routine losing day into an account violation.
Under 1-Step, the trader also checks whether a floating equity high has moved a trailing threshold and whether the proposed lot size remains consistent with prior activity. Under 2-Step, the trader records the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset and separately preserves the static $322,000 overall floor. The same entry can therefore have different risk consequences across the two routes even though both advertise 4% daily and 8% overall percentages.
A sensible response to a losing sequence is not to double size. The next valid setup remains $350.00 risk or less, and trading stops if the predetermined daily cap is reached. A profitable sequence is handled similarly: the trader avoids sudden size jumps merely because the account is ahead. This preserves statistical comparability, supports payout review and reduces the chance that one trade generates most of the period’s result.
This trader enters only after a defined range break and confirmation. One planned loss equals $525.00 and a 2R winner equals $1,050.00.

A profitable sequence is handled similarly: the trader avoids sudden size jumps merely because the account is ahead. This preserves statistical comparability, supports payout review and reduces the chance that one trade generates most of the period’s result.
This trader enters only after a defined range break and confirmation. One planned loss equals $1,050.00 and a 2R winner equals $2,100.00. Three consecutive full losses would remove $3,150.00, or 0.90% of initial balance. Against the base $14,000 daily boundary, those three losses use 22.5% of the published dollar limit. Against the $28,000 base overall allowance, they consume 11.3%. This comparison shows why the nominal $350K balance is not the usable risk budget.
The main hazard is false breaks and correlated USD exposure. The operating control is one currency theme at a time. If two positions express the same macro idea, their risks are added before entry. A trader does not call each ticket “0.30% risk” and ignore the portfolio total. The internal stop for the day should sit well below the firm’s breach line so spread expansion, commission and floating loss cannot convert a routine losing day into an account violation.
Under 1-Step, the trader also checks whether a floating equity high has moved a trailing threshold and whether the proposed lot size remains consistent with prior activity. Under 2-Step, the trader records the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset and separately preserves the static $322,000 overall floor.

The internal stop for the day should sit well below the firm’s breach line so spread expansion, commission and floating loss cannot convert a routine losing day into an account violation.
Under 1-Step, the trader also checks whether a floating equity high has moved a trailing threshold and whether the proposed lot size remains consistent with prior activity. Under 2-Step, the trader records the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset and separately preserves the static $322,000 overall floor. The same entry can therefore have different risk consequences across the two routes even though both advertise 4% daily and 8% overall percentages.
A sensible response to a losing sequence is not to double size. The next valid setup remains $1,750.00 risk or less, and trading stops if the predetermined daily cap is reached. A profitable sequence is handled similarly: the trader avoids sudden size jumps merely because the account is ahead. This preserves statistical comparability, supports payout review and reduces the chance that one trade generates most of the period’s result.
This trader requires rejection plus structure confirmation. One planned loss equals $2,100.00 and a 2R winner equals $4,200.00. Three consecutive full losses would remove $6,300.00, or 1.80% of initial balance. Against the base $14,000 daily boundary, those three losses use 45.0% of the published dollar limit. Against the $28,000 base overall allowance, they consume 22.5%. This comparison shows why the nominal $350K balance is not the usable risk budget.
The main hazard is wide spikes and slippage around macro news. The operating control is hard news filter and volatility-adjusted stop. If two positions express the same macro idea, their risks are added before entry. A trader does not call each ticket “0.60% risk” and ignore the portfolio total.

This trader holds only when the selected account permits the holding window. One planned loss equals $350.00 and a 2R winner equals $700.00. Three consecutive full losses would remove $1,050.00, or 0.30% of initial balance. Against the base $14,000 daily boundary, those three losses use 7.5% of the published dollar limit. Against the $28,000 base overall allowance, they consume 3.8%. This comparison shows why the nominal $350K balance is not the usable risk budget.

This trader takes few high-conviction setups with wide invalidation. One planned loss equals $525.00 and a 2R winner equals $1,050.00. Three consecutive full losses would remove $1,575.00, or 0.45% of initial balance. Against the base $14,000 daily boundary, those three losses use 11.3% of the published dollar limit. Against the $28,000 base overall allowance, they consume 5.6%. This comparison shows why the nominal $350K balance is not the usable risk budget.
The main hazard is pressure to manufacture valid days or chase a target. The operating control is accepting a longer evaluation rather than token trades. If two positions express the same macro idea, their risks are added before entry. A trader does not call each ticket “0.15% risk” and ignore the portfolio total. The internal stop for the day should sit well below the firm’s breach line so spread expansion, commission and floating loss cannot convert a routine losing day into an account violation.
Under 1-Step, the trader also checks whether a floating equity high has moved a trailing threshold and whether the proposed lot size remains consistent with prior activity. Under 2-Step, the trader records the higher of balance or equity at the daily reset and separately preserves the static $322,000 overall floor. The same entry can therefore have different risk consequences across the two routes even though both advertise 4% daily and 8% overall percentages.
A sensible response to a losing sequence is not to double size. The next valid setup remains $525.00 risk or less, and trading stops if the predetermined daily cap is reached.

This preserves statistical comparability, supports payout review and reduces the chance that one trade generates most of the period’s result.
This trader takes few high-conviction setups with wide invalidation. One planned loss equals $700.00 and a 2R winner equals $1,400.00.

A trader sees a large nominal balance and chooses lots that would be reasonable only if the entire balance were personal risk capital. Prop evaluation survival is governed by $14K daily and $28K overall boundaries, not by the marketing number. Start from a chosen fraction of the loss limit, then calculate instrument size from stop distance.
For the $350K tier, document this point in a one-page operating plan before purchase. The plan should name the exact dashboard threshold, internal daily stop, maximum correlated exposure and action after two losses. Written constraints reduce the chance that emotion rewrites the rules during live market movement.
One phase reduces the number of targets but does not remove consistency, payout or drawdown complexity. The official trailing wording can make a profitable account more sensitive to giveback. Compare the full path rather than counting phases.

After reaching most of a target, traders often increase size to finish. This converts accumulated edge into one concentrated decision and can resemble aggressive or gambling-style behavior. Keep the same unit risk or reduce it.

Protection is purchased for eligible evaluation breaches and has exclusions plus a recovery payment. Buyback concerns an eligible funded breach, costs $7,000 on $350K and needs approval. They are not interchangeable.

We prioritize the dedicated live product selector for current availability and base price, program-specific Help Centre pages for rules, the checkout for the exact transaction total, and the signed account terms for enforcement. A broad comparison page or stored summary can lag a specific rule article. Where a conflict exists, this review states it instead of silently choosing the more attractive interpretation.
The current shop confirms $350K Standard 2-Step at $2,299 and the program table confirms $350K Standard 1-Step at $2,499. The current Help Centre confirms 1-Step trailing drawdowns, 2-Step static overall drawdown, program-specific payout sequences, eligible add-ons and the $7,000 funded buyback. Prices, campaigns and rules can change after publication.
The TTT Markets $350K account is real at two—and only two—current routes: 1-Step Standard and 2-Step Standard. For most traders, 2-Step offers the stronger balance of price, static overall drawdown, 70% first split and confirmed scaling. The 1-Step is defensible for traders who value one phase enough to accept a higher fee, a $35,000 target, trailing-rule complexity and a 50% first split.
Use BRIDGE as the verified Prop Firm Bridge coupon and confirm the displayed 12.5% reduction on an eligible purchase. That implies approximately $2,186.63 for the base 1-Step or $2,011.63 for the base 2-Step before taxes, conversions or add-ons. Compare any live seasonal offer rather than assuming stacking. Most importantly, buy the rule set you can execute—not the largest balance you can afford.

Yes. The verified $350K routes are 1-Step Standard and 2-Step Standard. Lite, Instant Funding and Subscription are not currently offered at $350K.
The verified base price is $2,499. BRIDGE at 12.5% saves about $312.38, producing an estimated $2,186.63 base total if the code is eligible at checkout.

1-Step requires 10%, or $35,000. 2-Step requires 8%, or $28,000, in Phase 1 and 5%, or $17,500, in Phase 2.
Base limits are 4% daily ($14,000) and 8% overall ($28,000). Current official guidance describes 1-Step limits as trailing and the 2-Step overall limit as static.
On eligible Standard evaluations, a 20% fee add-on raises daily drawdown from 4% to 5% and overall drawdown from 8% to 10%. On $350K, those limits become $17,500 and $35,000.
Official guidance lists 1-Step at 50% first withdrawal, 70% second and 80% later. 2-Step starts at 70% and moves to 80% on subsequent withdrawals.
1-Step’s first withdrawal requires at least 21 calendar days from the first trade and 14 trading days. 2-Step’s first funded withdrawal is available 14 calendar days after the first trade, then every 14 days.
TTT Markets lists buyback at 2% of account size, so a $350K eligible funded buyback costs $7,000 and remains subject to internal approval.
Do not assume stacking. Enter BRIDGE, compare the live eligible total with any temporary campaign and use the valid option that checkout accepts. Taxes, currency conversion and add-ons can change the total.
