NEOMAAA Funded Evaluation Time Limit: Which Accounts Have One? (2026)

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.

NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA account is the only evaluation with a time limit: 30 calendar days to reach the 6% profit target. All Origin and Prime evaluations have no time limit. You can take a week, a month, or six months to pass. The clock doesn't matter.

This is a big differentiator across NEOMAAA Funded's product lineup. Five of their seven account types let you trade at your own pace, while NOVA puts you on a deadline. I'm trading their accounts right now and the no-time-limit structure on Origin and Prime is one of the reasons I picked them alongside TakeProfitTrader and e8 Markets.

Here's what you need to know about which accounts have time limits, what the 30-day deadline means on NOVA, and how to decide whether the cheaper timed evaluation is worth the pressure.

Which NEOMAAA Funded Accounts Have Evaluation Time Limits?

As of March 2026, here's the complete breakdown:

The pattern is clear. NOVA is the outlier. Everything else at NEOMAAA Funded either has unlimited time or skips evaluation altogether.

How Does NOVA's 30-Day Time Limit Work?

NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA account gives you exactly 30 calendar days from the date of purchase to hit a 6% profit target on a $100K account ($6,000 in profit). That's 30 calendar days, not 30 trading days.

Weekends count. Holidays count. Days you don't trade count. If you buy the account on March 1st, your deadline is March 31st. Markets are closed on weekends, so you get roughly 22 trading days out of those 30 calendar days.

If you don't hit the target within 30 days, the account expires. You don't get a partial refund. You don't get an extension. The account is simply done.

To trade the account again, you'd need to buy a new NOVA evaluation ($300) or reset at the 15% discounted fee ($255).

How Does the 30-Day Limit Affect Your Strategy?

The clock changes everything about how you approach the evaluation.

On an untimed account, you can wait for perfect setups. If the market is choppy, sit out for a week. If you're in a drawdown, reduce size and rebuild slowly over weeks. No rush.

On NOVA, you can't afford patience. You need $6,000 in 22ish trading days. That's roughly $273 per trading day on average. For a $100K account with 3-4% daily drawdown and ~4% max trailing drawdown, you're working with thin margins.

Here's the math that matters:

Daily profit needed: $6,000 / 22 trading days = ~$273/day average

That sounds reasonable. But factor in losing days, and the picture changes:

• If you lose on 8 of 22 days (roughly 36% of sessions, which is normal), you need to net $273/day while also covering your losses during those 8 days
• If your 8 losing days average $500 each, that's $4,000 in total losses
• Total needed: $6,000 target + $4,000 losses to cover = $10,000 gross profit from winning days
• Winning days available: 14
• Required average profit per winning day: $714

$714/day from a $100K account is achievable, but it forces you to trade actively. You can't take two weeks off and then sprint at the end.

Compare that to 1-Step Origin with the same $100K balance but a 10% target ($10,000) and no time limit. You could take 60 trading days, average $167/day on winning days, and still pass. The pressure difference is enormous.

Why Does NEOMAAA Funded Offer No Time Limit on Origin and Prime?

No-time-limit evaluations are a competitive advantage for NEOMAAA Funded. They let traders take the evaluation seriously without the psychological pressure of a ticking clock.

I've failed timed evaluations at other firms. Not because I couldn't trade. Because the deadline made me take trades I shouldn't have. Day 25 of 30, I'm at 7% of a 10% target, and I start pushing size to make up the gap. Two bad trades later, I've breached the drawdown.

That doesn't happen on NEOMAAA Funded's Origin or Prime accounts. If I'm at 7% after two months, I can keep trading at the same size, waiting for setups. There's no date on the calendar forcing my hand.

The tradeoff is price. Origin and Prime accounts cost $485-$640 for $100K compared to NOVA's $300. You're paying for the luxury of time. Whether that premium is worth it depends on how disciplined you are under deadline pressure.

How Does NEOMAAA Funded Compare to Other Firms on Time Limits?

Time limits vary wildly across prop firms. Some give you 30 days. Some give you unlimited. And some split the difference with generous but finite deadlines.

Most serious prop firms have moved away from strict time limits in recent years. The trend is toward no-time-limit evaluations with a one-time fee. NEOMAAA Funded follows this trend on their main products (Origin and Prime) while keeping NOVA as a budget entry point with a deadline.

The important distinction: TakeProfitTrader and Topstep have no time limit but charge monthly subscriptions. NEOMAAA Funded's Origin and Prime are one-time fees with no ongoing cost. If you take 4 months to pass a TakeProfitTrader eval, you've paid 4 months of subscription. With NEOMAAA Funded's 1-Step Origin, you've still only paid $596 regardless of duration.

Who Should Avoid NOVA Because of the Time Limit?

NOVA's 30-day window isn't for everyone. Several trader profiles should steer clear.

Part-time traders. If you can only trade 2-3 sessions per week, you'll have roughly 8-12 trading opportunities in 30 days. Hitting 6% ($6,000 on $100K) in that many sessions requires averaging $500-$750 per profitable session. Miss a few setups or have a couple bad days, and you're behind schedule with no way to recover.

Swing traders holding positions for multiple days. NOVA's ~4% max trailing drawdown is tight for multi-day holds. A position that moves against you over 2-3 days can eat through most of your drawdown allowance. With a time limit pressuring you to hit the target, you might cut winners short or hold losers too long.

New traders still developing consistency. If your win rate fluctuates between 40% and 60% depending on the week, a 30-day deadline amplifies the variance. One bad week out of four could sink the entire evaluation.

Traders who've failed timed evals before. If the pattern is familiar, pay the extra $196-$260 for an Origin or Prime account and remove the deadline from the equation entirely.

Who Actually Benefits from NOVA's 30-Day Limit?

NOVA works for a specific profile.

Active scalpers or day traders who trade daily sessions and can consistently pull $300-$500 out of the market. If you're already profitable with that kind of consistency, the 30 days is generous. You might pass in 10-15 trading days.

Budget-conscious traders who want to test NEOMAAA Funded's platform and rules for $300 instead of $485-$640. If you're not sure about the firm and want the cheapest way in, NOVA lets you try. The trade-off is the deadline.

Traders who thrive under time pressure. Some people genuinely perform better with a deadline. If a ticking clock sharpens your focus rather than rattling your discipline, NOVA at $300 is a bargain compared to unlimited accounts.

I'd personally still go with 1-Step or 2-Step Origin. The extra cost buys peace of mind that I don't put a price on. But I get why NOVA exists in the lineup.

How Does No Time Limit Change Your Evaluation Approach?

Without a deadline, your evaluation strategy shifts from "how fast can I hit the target" to "how can I hit the target without blowing the account."

The optimal approach on an untimed NEOMAAA Funded Origin or Prime evaluation:

Week 1-2: Small size. Trade with minimal position size to learn the platform, test order execution, and confirm the drawdown mechanics work as documented. Your goal isn't profit. It's familiarity.

Week 3-6: Normal size. Increase to your standard position sizing. Focus on your regular trading plan. No extra aggression because there's no deadline.

Ongoing: Sit out bad markets. If the market's chopping, don't trade. A day without trading on an untimed eval costs you nothing. A day of forced trading on a timed eval can cost you the account.

Hit the target: Stop. When your account reaches the profit target, stop trading. Don't overshoot. Overshooting on an untimed eval raises your trailing drawdown floor for no benefit, as I explained in my trailing drawdown guide.

The ability to sit out for days or weeks is the single biggest advantage of untimed evaluations. Markets rotate through good and bad conditions. An untimed account lets you trade only the good ones.

What Happens If NOVA's 30 Days Expire?

If you don't reach the 6% profit target on NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA account within 30 calendar days, the evaluation ends. The account is closed regardless of your current profit or drawdown status.

You don't fail because of a drawdown breach. You fail because the clock ran out. Even if you're at 5.9% profit with one day left, you need to hit 6.0% before the deadline or the account expires.

After expiration, your options are:

1. Reset at 15% discount: Pay 85% of the original NOVA fee. On a $100K NOVA ($300), the reset would cost $255. Your account resets to the starting balance with a fresh 30-day clock.

1. Buy a new NOVA account: Pay the full $300 again for a clean start.

1. Switch to Origin or Prime: Pay $485-$640 for an account with no time limit. If you failed NOVA due to time pressure (not trading ability), this is the smart move.

The 15% reset discount is modest. On NOVA it saves you $45. On a $596 1-Step Origin, the reset saves $89. If you've already failed one NOVA evaluation, spending another $255 on a second attempt with the same 30-day pressure is worth reconsidering. That $255 reset plus the original $300 you already spent puts you at $555 total, which is close to what a 1-Step Origin costs outright.

Should You Pick a Timed or Untimed Account at NEOMAAA Funded?

This comes down to self-awareness.

If you know you trade best without deadline pressure, pick Origin or Prime. The extra $196-$340 over NOVA is insurance against time-pressure mistakes.

If you're confident you can hit 6% in 22 trading days, NOVA at $300 is the cheapest entry to a NEOMAAA Funded evaluation. The lower profit target (6% vs 10% on 1-Step) partially offsets the time pressure.

If you want zero evaluation hassle, Instant Prime ($999) or Instant Origin (varies) skip the whole question. No target. No time limit. You're funded from purchase.

My preference: I trade Origin accounts. The no-time-limit structure removes an entire category of stress from the evaluation. I've failed enough timed evals at other firms to know that deadlines and good trading decisions don't always coexist.

The bottom line: NEOMAAA Funded gives you real choice on time pressure. NOVA's 30-day deadline at $300 works for active, confident traders who can hit 6% in a month. Origin and Prime accounts eliminate the clock entirely for $485-$640. If you've ever blown an eval because you forced trades near a deadline, the untimed option is worth every extra dollar.

Does NEOMAAA Funded have a time limit on evaluations?

NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA account has a 30-calendar-day time limit on its evaluation. All Origin accounts (1-Step and 2-Step) and all Prime accounts (1-Step and 2-Step) have no time limit. Instant accounts skip evaluation entirely.

How long is NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA evaluation?

NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA evaluation runs for 30 calendar days from the purchase date. These are calendar days, not trading days, so weekends and holidays count against the timer. You get roughly 22 actual trading sessions within that window.

Can you take unlimited time on NEOMAAA Funded Origin accounts?

Yes. NEOMAAA Funded Origin accounts (both 1-Step and 2-Step) have no time limit on evaluation. You can take weeks, months, or longer to hit the profit target without any deadline pressure or expiration risk.

What happens if NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA time limit expires?

If the 30-day time limit expires on a NEOMAAA Funded NOVA account before hitting the 6% profit target, the evaluation ends and the account closes. To try again, you can reset at a 15% discount ($255 for a $100K NOVA) or purchase a new evaluation.

Is NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA worth the time pressure?

NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA is worth it for active day traders who can consistently profit $300-$500 per session. At $300 for a $100K evaluation, it's the cheapest entry point. But traders who need time to find setups or trade part-time should consider Origin ($485) or Prime ($640) with no time limit.

How does NEOMAAA Funded's time limit compare to other prop firms?

NEOMAAA Funded's main products (Origin and Prime) have no time limit, matching firms like e8 Markets and TakeProfitTrader. NOVA's 30-day limit is competitive among budget prop firm evaluations. Firms like Topstep also have no time limit but charge monthly subscriptions, which accumulates cost over time.

Does NEOMAAA Funded's 2-Step evaluation have a time limit per phase?

No. NEOMAAA Funded's 2-Step Origin and 2-Step Prime evaluations have no time limit on either phase. You can take as long as needed on Phase 1 (6-8% target) and Phase 2 (5-6% target) without any deadline.

Can you pause a NEOMAAA Funded NOVA evaluation?

No. NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA evaluation timer runs continuously from the purchase date. There's no pause or freeze option. The 30 calendar days include weekends, holidays, and any days you choose not to trade.

What profit target do you need to hit within NEOMAAA Funded's 30-day limit?

NEOMAAA Funded's NOVA evaluation requires a 6% profit target within 30 calendar days. On a $100K account, that's $6,000 in total profit. This is lower than the 10% target on 1-Step Origin and 1-Step Prime, partially offsetting the time pressure.

Should you pick NEOMAAA Funded NOVA or Origin for your first account?

For a first NEOMAAA Funded account, Origin is the safer choice despite costing $196 more than NOVA ($485 vs $300 for $100K). NEOMAAA Funded Origin has no time limit, more drawdown room (8% vs ~4% on NOVA), and removes the deadline pressure that causes most first-time evaluation failures.
