What Is the Difference Between a Challenge Account and a Direct Pass Account?

The main difference is how you become eligible for a funded account.

A Challenge Account requires you to successfully complete an evaluation before becoming funded, while a Direct Pass Account gives you immediate access without completing a Challenge.

Winbance offers two versions of each program, allowing you to choose the trading model that best suits your style.


Challenge Accounts

Challenge Accounts are designed for traders who want to demonstrate consistent performance before receiving a funded account.

After purchasing a Challenge, you’ll need to:

  • Reach the required Profit Target.

  • Complete at least 3 Trading Days.

  • Follow all applicable trading rules.

  • Submit a Qualification Request through your Dashboard.

Once approved, you’ll complete the activation process and receive your LiveX Funded Account.

Available options:

  • Challenge EDGE – Includes a Daily Loss Limit, End-of-Day Drawdown, and the 50% Consistency Rule.

  • Challenge FLEX – Includes a Trailing Drawdown with no Daily Loss Limit and no Consistency Rule.


Direct Pass Accounts

Direct Pass Accounts are designed for traders who want to begin trading immediately without completing an evaluation.

Your account is activated immediately after purchase, allowing you to start trading right away.

Available options:

  • Direct Pass – Includes a Daily Loss Limit, End-of-Day Drawdown, and the 50% Consistency Rule.

  • Direct Pass Freedom – Includes an End-of-Day Drawdown only, with no Daily Loss Limit and no Consistency Rule.
