Standard vs Benchmark Reset
| Feature | Standard Reset | Benchmark Reset |
|---|---|---|

- Preserve Drawdown Balance Add-On (Stocks Only)
Available only with a Benchmark Reset. The new account starts with a higher initial balance so the trailing drawdown is already covered, allowing the trader to focus directly on Daily (Intraday accounts) and Weekly (Swing accounts) Profit Targets and Benchmarks.

Reset options on My Purchases page
“For Gladiator Futures Accounts purchased before April 23, 2026, the Benchmark Reset and Preserve Drawdown options are no longer available. If the account fails, the trader’s reset option is a Standard Reset, which produces a new Gladiator Futures (Light Payout Account) at the new pricing and parameters.
For new Gladiator Futures (Payout Account) products — including both Light and Forge sub-types — failed accounts can be reset using the Standard Reset option within 48 hours of the EOD failure report only (Benchmark Reset and Drawdown Preservation are not available on these accounts). Stocks Gladiator Accounts retain all reset options.”
