How does the 2-Step Challenge work?
The 2-Step Challenge is composed of two evaluation phases, each with its own objectives and risk parameters.
Phase 1
Profit target: 8%
Minimum trading days: 5
Time limit: No maximum
Maximum daily loss: 5%
Maximum overall drawdown: 10%
Phase 2
Profit target: 5%
Minimum trading days: 5
Maximum daily loss: 5%
Maximum overall drawdown: 10%
Once both phases are successfully completed while respecting all trading rules, the trader becomes a Funded Trader.
Is news trading allowed?
Yes. News trading is allowed on OPF Capital challenges.
However, trading during high-impact news events involves increased volatility. Traders are fully responsible for managing their risk and outcomes when trading during news releases.
Is weekend holding allowed?
Yes. Weekend holding is allowed.
You may keep positions open over the weekend without penalties or restrictions.
Best Day Rule
The 40% Best Day ensures that profits are generated consistently over multiple trading days, rather than relying on a single large winning day.
This rule means that no single trading day may represent more than 40% of the total profits generated on the account.
How it works (examples):
If you make $1,000 profit in one trading day, that day must represent no more than 40% of your total profits.
This means your total profit must be at least $2,500 before the consistency requirement is met.If your total profits are $4,000, your best trading day must be $1,600 or less (40% of $4,000) to remain compliant with the rule.
If a trading day exceeds the 40% threshold:
The account is not failed
However, the profit target or withdrawal threshold is automatically increased
Additional trading is required to demonstrate consistent performance
Minimum Trading Days
A minimum of 5 trading days is required to be eligible for withdrawals.
To be counted as a valid trading day:
Each trading day must generate at least 0.50% profit
A trading day with less than 0.50% profit will NOT be counted
This rule ensures that traders demonstrate steady and repeatable performance, rather than isolated gains.
