What are the different phases of the challenge?

A detailed breakdown of each stage of the evaluation and what is required for each.

Updated this week

Our challenge is designed to assess your trading ability in a structured, step-by-step process. Each phase builds on the previous one, ensuring you can demonstrate profitability, consistency, and discipline under realistic market conditions.

Phase 1: Initial Evaluation

This is your first step toward becoming a funded trader.

  • Objective: Reach a 10% virtual profit target while following all risk management rules.

  • Environment: Fully simulated account using real market data through TradeLocker.

  • Focus: Test your skills, refine your trading style, and demonstrate that you can generate profits without breaching the rules (such as maximum daily loss or overall drawdown limits).

  • Outcome: Upon reaching the profit target within the guidelines, you’ll advance to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Verification

This phase is designed to confirm that your Phase 1 results were not luck, but the result of consistent and disciplined trading.

  • Objective: Reach a 5% virtual profit target under the same risk management rules.

  • Environment: A new simulated account with the same trading conditions as Phase 1.

  • Focus: Show consistent performance and disciplined risk management over time.

  • Outcome: Once you achieve the target without violating any rules, you become eligible for our funded stage.
