2 Step Standard Challenge

Updated this week

Drawdown Rules – The Standard Challenge

  • Maximum Drawdown:
    Traders are allowed a total maximum drawdown of 8% of the starting account balance. This is the most the account equity can decrease from the initial balance before the challenge is failed.

  • Daily Drawdown Limit:
    There is also a 4% daily drawdown limit, which is calculated based on the account balance or equity at the start of the trading day, whichever is higher. Exceeding this limit in a single day will result in disqualification from the challenge.

Profit Targets and Consistency Requirements

  • Phase 1 – Evaluation Stage:
    Traders must reach a 10% profit target to advance to Phase 2. There is no consistency requirement during this stage, meaning performance can vary across trading days.

  • Phase 2 – Verification Stage:
    The profit target is reduced to 5%, allowing traders to demonstrate continued profitability under slightly less pressure. As in Phase 1, no consistency rule applies.

  • Funded Account – Live Trading:
    Once funded, traders are subject to a 40% consistency requirement. This means that no single trading day should account for more than 40% of the total profits earned during the payout cycle, encouraging disciplined and steady trading practices.
