Designed for traders seeking a fast, professional route to funding
Evaluation Phase Requirements
To pass the 1-Step Standard evaluation, you must meet the following objectives:
Profit Target: 9%
Minimum Trading Days: 5 (each with at least 0.5% profit)
All drawdown and risk rules must be respected throughout
Once the evaluation is completed, your account undergoes a full manual review by our Risk Team. If approved, you will receive your funded account.
Risk Parameters
Max Daily Drawdown: 4%
The maximum your account equity can lose within a single trading day is 4% of your initial account balance.
The daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. At reset, the system takes the higher of your balance or equity as the starting point for the new day. Your equity must not fall more than 4% from that value at any point during the trading day.
Example:
Initial balance: $100,000
Daily loss limit: $4,000
Equity must not fall below $96,000 at any point during the trading day
Maximum Total Drawdown: 6% (Trailing)
The maximum total drawdown is a 6% trailing limit based on your initial account balance.
The limit trails upward as your equity reaches new highs
It is calculated as your highest equity point minus 6% of your initial balance
It never moves downward
Example:
Initial balance: $100,000 - Max drawdown limit starts at $94,000
Equity reaches $110,000 - Max drawdown limit moves up to $104,000
Your equity must never fall below the current locked value at any time
Consistency Rule
There is no consistency rule on this model.
3% Rule (Funded Account Only)
Your biggest loss per trade idea must not exceed 3% of your initial account balance. This applies to:
A single trade entry
Multiple split entries on the same idea
Multiple positions that form part of the same overall trade idea
This rule applies to funded accounts only. Violating it is a hard breach and results in immediate account closure.
Max Risk Rule (Funded Account Only): 2.5% - Violating this is a hard breach and results in immediate account termination.
Minimum Trading Days (Funded Account)
To be eligible for payouts on your funded account, you must complete 4 separate qualifying trading days, each with a minimum of 0.5% profit. These days do not need to be consecutive.
