2-Step challenge

2-Step prop firm challenge

Two stages, smaller targets, the classic route. Here is every rule in percent and in dollars, what each size costs, and how it compares with the 1-Step.

Updated 13 Sept 2026

How it works

  • Stage 1 (5% target): pass on balance, then the next stage provisions itself.
  • Stage 2 (10% target): pass on balance, then the next stage provisions itself.
  • Funded: 80% of the profit, paid bi-weekly, fee refunded with the first payout.

The 1-Step asks for one bigger target inside tighter floors: it suits a strategy with tight stops and a steady edge. The 2-Step splits the target in two and gives more room (6% daily, 10% total), with a 2% cap on open loss. Neither is easier; they reward different habits.
