There's no time limit on either step — trade at your own pace to hit the 10% Step 1 and 5% Step 2 targets. Once you pass both steps and your account is funded, payouts are reviewed on a 14-day cycle measured from the date your account is funded. You must remain profitable, stay within all rules, and pass review. A new withdrawal window opens every 14 days after that.
Once funded, your account also becomes eligible for automatic scaling based on clean payouts — see the profit cap and scaling plan article for the full milestone table.
