How to pass
Reach the profit target.
Trade at least 8 Qualifying Days: days that meet the minimum daily profit, follow the rules and end within consistency.
Keep your best day at or below 25% of your total profit.
After you pass
Stop trading; the evaluation closes once it passes. Reach out to support and ask for the risk team to review your accounts.
Then, once the Live Docs page is enabled on your dashboard (if it isn't already), upload your live documents and sign the live account agreement on your Dashboard.
Your live account is set up within 1–5 business days.
Important: once you're live, all your simulated accounts (including other S2L evaluations) are closed, and you can't buy new S2L evaluations while you're trading live.
Good to know
No time limit and no resets.
You can have as many S2L evaluations as you like, however you can only have up to 5 live accounts.
