After successfully passing Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the 2-Step Plus Challenge, the trader enters the Funded Stage.
At this stage, there is no profit target, but all funded rules must be respected in order to remain funded and become eligible for withdrawals.
Funded Account Rules
Profit target: None
Maximum daily loss: 3%
Maximum overall drawdown: 6%
Minimum trading days: 5
Is news trading allowed?
No. News trading is NOT allowed during the Funded Stage.
Trading activity is strictly prohibited within 5 minutes before or after a high-impact economic news release, or during the release, on the affected currency.
The following actions are not allowed during the restricted news window:
Manual opening or closing of trades
Moving Stop Loss (SL) or Take Profit (TP)
Placing, editing, or canceling limit or pending orders
Any violation of this rule may result in an immediate account breach.
Is weekend holding allowed?
Yes. Weekend holding IS allowed during the Funded Stage for the 2-Step Plus Challenge.
You may keep positions open over the weekend without penalties, as long as all other risk and trading rules are respected.
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
Any trading day with less than 0.50% profit will NOT be counted
This rule ensures stable and repeatable performance, not isolated profits.
