Three Step Challenge

Prefer structured milestones over high-pressure sprints

Updated this week

Perfect if you value balanced risk exposure and want to prove consistency across market conditions, not just one lucky streak.


🧠 Ideal Psychology Fit:

  • Patient strategists building robust skills.

  • Part-time traders needing flexible pacing.

  • Risk-averse pros who diversify across assets (forex, commodities, indices).

Go from trader to funded pro in three confidence-building stages – not one high-stakes gamble.

🚫 NOT Ideal For:

  • Scalpers/Day Traders: Prefer lower time commitment (Instant Turbo).

  • Urgent Funding Seekers: One-Step is faster.

  • High-Risk Traders: Prefer no drawdown resets (Instant Pilot).


💡 Why This Structure Wins

Phase 1

Start small, prove consistency, then unlock real capital with zero targets
