1. 2-Phase Single Payment Plans

This is the most structured evaluation path.

  • Phase 1 – Initial Evaluation
    Objective: Achieve a 10% virtual profit target.
    Focus: Demonstrate the ability to generate profits while respecting all risk rules (daily loss limit, maximum drawdown, etc.).

  • Phase 2 – Verification
    Objective: Achieve a 5% virtual profit target on a new simulated account.
    Focus: Confirm that your results are consistent and not based on luck.

Outcome: After successfully completing both phases without breaching any rules, you become eligible to move to Phase 3.


2. 1-Phase Single Payment Plans

A faster evaluation option with a single profit target.

  • Objective: Reach a 10% virtual profit target.

  • Environment: One simulated account.

  • Focus: Show profitability and rule compliance in a single evaluation phase.

Outcome: Upon reaching the 10% target without violations, you advance directly to Phase 3.


3. Instant Plans

Designed for traders who want to skip the traditional evaluation phases.

  • Profit Target: None required.

  • Process: You go directly to Phase 3 (Advanced Simulated Stage) after purchase and KYC.

  • Focus: Immediate access to the funded stage while still following all trading and risk management rules.

Best suited for: Experienced traders who prefer to prove themselves directly in the funded environment.


4. Subscription Plans

A flexible option with recurring billing during the evaluation.

  • Objective: Achieve a 10% virtual profit target during the evaluation period.

  • Billing: Monthly subscription fee (canceled after successful transition to Phase 3).

  • Outcome: After hitting the 10% target and paying the one-time activation fee, you move to Phase 3.
