How many traders pass the Challenge?

EverFunded publishes no pass rate, neither its own nor an industry estimate, because none has been measured on real results. What each account requires instead.

No published pass rate

EverFunded does not publish a pass rate. A pass rate means something only when it is measured on real EverFunded results, and we will not quote an industry estimate as if it described us, nor publish an estimate in place of measured EverFunded results. If you see a pass-rate or success figure presented as EverFunded's, it did not come from us; tell us where you saw it at support@everfunded.com.

Without measured results we cannot rank the accounts by your chance of passing, so we cannot say which account is easiest to pass. What we can tell you precisely is what each account requires, and that is what the rest of this page does.

What passing requires

To pass an evaluation you must reach the profit target in realised net profit, complete any minimum trading days, close all positions and cancel pending orders, and stay inside every loss limit in the table the whole time. Going past a loss limit ends the evaluation.

For minimum trading days, a server-time day qualifies only when its profit reaches at least 0.5% of the original account balance. Opening a trade alone is insufficient. Reaching the target early does not end the minimum trading days where the account has them, and a larger or smaller account does not change the percentages in the table. A Flash evaluation has no minimum trading days, so it can pass on its first trading day when every other condition is met. The accounts differ in mechanics, such as the number of phases, the size of the limits and the price; compare those requirements with how you trade in Which account should I choose: 2-Step, 1-Step, Flash or Instant?.

Instant has no evaluation to pass: it is funded from day one, and its own payout conditions apply instead. See How Instant works: a funded account from day one.

How a loss limit gets used up

Example: This example shows how position size interacts with a limit. It does not predict a result. A trader on a 1-Step account, where the most the account may drop in one day is 3%, loses 1.5% on each of two trades in one day. The day's result is now at the limit, so one more losing trade that day would take the account past it. The same trader losing 0.5% per trade would reach the same point only after six losing trades. Repeated losses can use up the daily limit, even when no single trade reaches it.

Ways a loss limit can be breached:

  • Position sizes that let a normal losing streak go past a limit.

  • Treating the daily limit as a level to trade towards, rather than a line to stay away from.

  • Trading more after a loss to win it back the same day.

  • Misreading which kind of overall limit applies: static or trailing. See What is drawdown, and how do the Max Daily Loss and Max Loss work?.

Key rule: Passing is not guaranteed on any account, and the fee is the money at risk. If you fail, can you lose more than the fee? No. All trading is simulated, so a losing trade cannot create a debt. What you lose is the fee and access to that account. See How much money can I lose with EverFunded?.

If you already hold an account and want to know why it ended, a person will review it: see My account failed or was closed: what happened?.
