Carrot Funding: the 1-Phase prices and drawdowns we published were the 2-Phase ones — our error, not a rule change

Before (roya-trading.com fiche for Carrot Funding, written from our read of carrotfunding.io, read 5 September 2026): Our own 5 September sheet published the 1-Phase $5,000 at $65 with an 8% profit target, a 5% max daily loss and a 10% max loss, and documented no consistency rule of any kind. The same sheet stated that the fee is identical per account size whatever the structure you pick — that you choose a structure, not a price. After (carrotfunding.io/rulebook §03, re-read in full against the pre-payment configurator and our own paid account, read 10 September 2026): Rulebook §03 "Challenges & Fees", public and requiring no login, carries two separate tables. 2-Phase: 5% evaluation target, 8% verification target, 5% max daily loss, 10% max loss, no Best Day Rule — $5,000 at $65, $10,000 at $119, $20,000 at $239, $50,000 at $449, $100,000 at $699. 1-Phase: 8% target, 4% max daily loss, 8% max loss and a Best Day Rule of 50% — $5,000 at $75, $10,000 at $129, $20,000 at $249, $50,000 at $499, $100,000 at $799. Structures AND prices differ, and the Best Day Rule is a consistency rule we had missed entirely. Three sources agree line by line at this read: the rulebook, the configurator shown before payment, and the objectives applied to the 2-Phase $5,000 evaluation we bought and traded the same day ($250 profit target, $250 daily loss, $500 max loss). Carrot published these numbers correctly, in the open, before payment. We had copied one row onto the other. This entry exists because that is exactly the failure this site accuses comparison sites of, and it came back on us. What it changes: The correction is ours, not the firm's: nothing in Carrot's rules moved between 5 and 10 September 2026. If you were sizing a 1-Phase from our sheet, the entry price is $10 to $100 higher than we printed and the room you have is smaller, not larger — 4% a day and 8% overall instead of 5% and 10% — with a 50% Best Day Rule on top, meaning a single day cannot account for more than half your total profit. The same read documents three ceilings we had never published: leverage caps at 5x on every asset class (§14), §23 forbids "automated software, high-frequency trading systems, AI-driven tools, or mass order entry systems" — so bots and APIs are out at Carrot — and §22 states outright that the firm routes each trade A-book or B-book at its own discretion, labelling every trader on their dashboard. Read §03 yourself before paying; it is free to read and it is the document that would settle a dispute.
