Can I retry or reset a failed challenge?

Yes. After a failed evaluation you simply start a new challenge, on your own timeline, with the fee refund still waiting at your first payout.

The short answer

Yes. If your evaluation breaches, you can get back in by starting a new challenge. There is no waiting period and no penalty. Both One Step and Two Step can be retried as many times as you like, and the same rules and pricing apply to the new attempt.


How to start a new challenge

A failed evaluation ends that specific account. To trade an evaluation again, you purchase a fresh challenge from your dashboard. Pick the program and account size you want, and a new evaluation account is provisioned for you to begin.

You are free to keep the same program and size, step up to a larger account, or move to a different product entirely. A trader who breached a Two Step might restart on Two Step, or switch to One Step, or to an Instant program. The choice is yours, and nothing about the failed attempt limits it.

  1. Open your dashboard and choose a new challenge.

  2. Select the program and account size.

  3. Complete checkout and receive your new evaluation login.

  4. Begin trading once the account is live.


Resets vs buying a fresh challenge

The reliable, always-available path is a new purchase, as described above. It gives you a clean account at the current published price.

Whether UZO offers a discounted in-place reset of the same account (rather than a full new purchase) can vary, so we do not quote a fixed reset price here. Check your dashboard and our live pricing for any reset option available on your account at the time. If it is offered, it will be shown there with its exact cost.


What is and is not carried over

A new challenge is a genuine fresh start. Nothing from the failed account follows you into it.

Carried over

Not carried over

Your UZO account and login

The breach on the old evaluation

Your eligibility to trade any program

Old balance, profit, or trade history

The 90% trader / 10% firm split

The fee you paid for the failed attempt

Your new evaluation starts at its full starting balance, with the program's drawdown limits and profit target reset to zero progress. The targets, the minimum trading days where they apply, and the no-time-limit rule are exactly what they are for a first attempt.


There is no rush to restart

One Step and Two Step carry no time limit, and a breach does not start any clock against you. You can restart the same day or take a week to review what went wrong first. We would rather you come back with a clear plan than chase a loss. Most evaluations do not pass, and the traders who eventually do are usually the ones who treated a failed attempt as data, not as pressure to immediately buy again.


The fee refund on your eventual first payout

The fee comes back

When you pass a challenge and reach your first reward payout, the evaluation fee for that passing challenge is refunded to you, on top of your 90% profit share.

The refund applies to the fee of the challenge you actually pass and then get paid on. Fees from earlier failed attempts are not refunded, which is one more reason a calm, considered restart beats rapid-fire retries. Get one attempt over the line, take your first payout, and that final fee returns to you.
