Every number, and how it is measured

The most your equity may fall in a single trading day: 6% on the two-step, 2% on the one-step.

How it is measured

Measured against your balance at each daily reset, not a rolling intraday high. The reset is the countdown timer shown in your trader panel; when it reaches zero, the floor is set once from your balance at that moment and holds until the next reset.

Worked example

On a $10,000 two-step account: the last reset left your balance at $10,200, so today’s floor is $9,588, 6% below it. A strong morning does not raise the floor mid-day, and a good day never tightens tomorrow’s limit.

The floor under the whole evaluation: 10% on the two-step, 5% on the one-step.

How it is measured

A single static floor, set from your starting balance the moment the account provisions. No trailing peak: a winning run never raises the bar, and the floor is the same on day one and day ninety.

Worked example

On a $10,000 two-step account the floor is $9,000, always. Run the account to $13,000 and the floor is still $9,000, not a trailed $11,700. The one-step floor sits at $9,500, the same way.

The most you may have at risk in open positions at any one moment: 2% on the two-step. The one-step has no floating-risk rule.

How it is measured

Measured live from unrealised loss on every tick, as a share of the current balance. Closed trades do not count; this is about how much you hold open. A breach caused purely by slippage on a fill can be waived after a support review.

Worked example

On a $10,000 two-step account, open positions may never be more than $200 underwater combined. Three trades each $80 down is a breach; one trade $150 down is not.

No single day may account for more than 40% of your profit. Applies to the funded $10K account only, not to evaluation stages, not to smaller funded accounts.

How it is measured

Checked at payout on the funded $10K account: the best day’s profit is compared to the total profit in the cycle. It is published here precisely so it is never a surprise at withdrawal.

Worked example

A $1,000 profit cycle on the funded $10K account with one $450 day breaches the rule; spread the same $1,000 over days of at most $400 and it does not.

The one number that passes a stage: 5% then 10% on the two-step, a single 10% on the one-step.

How it is measured

One target per stage, measured on your balance: the pass confirms the moment a closed trade takes your balance past the target. No waiting for a nightly close. The next evaluation stage opens on its own; before the funded account is issued, the account's trades are checked against the published rules on the same record. The other wait is the minimum trading days below.

Worked example

On a $10,000 two-step account: the moment your balance reaches $10,500 in stage 1 you have passed, and stage 2 opens on its own. Stage 2 passes at $11,000; your trades are checked against the published rules, the funded account is issued, and payouts begin from there.

How many separate days you must place a trade on before a pass counts. 3, on both types.

How it is measured

A day counts when at least one trade is opened on it. Hit the target on day one and the pass confirms the moment your third trading day is on the record.

Worked example

Cross the target on Monday, trade again Tuesday and Wednesday, and the stage passes on Wednesday’s first trade. Hit it on day five and your pass counts that moment.

Profit counts only from trades held at least 30 seconds. A shorter trade is not a breach: the account stays open, and that trade’s profit is simply left out of your target and your payout.

How it is measured

Measured from the recorded open to the recorded close of each trade. The rule removes only the profit of a trade under 30 seconds; a loss on it comes off your balance like any other loss and counts toward drawdown.

Worked example

Close a trade after 20 seconds with $40 profit and the account carries on, but that $40 does not count toward your target or your payout. Hold the same trade for 45 seconds and the $40 counts in full.

How long you have. Here: as long as you need, but see the inactivity rule.

How it is measured

Unlimited-duration challenges are a first-class choice, and the rule set is identical either way; the other rules do not tighten because you take your time. The one clock is inactivity: an account with no trade for 30 days closes.

Worked example

Pass in a week or in a year; the targets and floors are the same numbers on both timelines. Take the time your strategy needs, just place a trade at least once every 30 days.

Hedging between your personal and prop accounts is not allowed; copy trading from your own personal account into the prop account is allowed. The platform’s investor password stays as issued, and an account stays on the broker it was bought on.

How it is measured

Cross-account hedging is detected from the event log and enforced with citations; the notice names the recorded events. Changing the investor password is a breach; try a broker on a demo account before you buy, because accounts do not transfer between brokers.

Worked example

Running the same strategy on your personal account and the prop account is fine; running opposite sides of it on each is not.

Gap trading, arbitrage between markets or brokers, double-sided bracket orders, high-frequency bursts, martingale and grid systems, coordinated or group trading, and copying another trader’s account.

How it is measured

Detected from the event log and enforced with citations; the notice names the recorded events. The full definitions live in the terms, and the list is closed: if a practice is not listed there or here, it is not prohibited.

Worked example

Placing buy and sell stops on the same symbol at the same time to catch a news spike in either direction is a bracket order and a breach. One pending order used to enter a trade is a normal entry.

Trading through news releases and holding positions over the weekend are both allowed, on every plan and every size.

How it is measured

Weekend days do not add trading days toward the minimum. Around major releases, spread widening and slippage are part of the market; managing them is part of the evaluation, and a floor crossed on a news tick is still crossed.

Worked example

Hold a position from Friday into Monday and nothing changes but the calendar: Saturday and Sunday add no trading days. Trade the release itself if that is your edge; the drawdown floors apply as on any other tick.

One registration per person, and at most $15,000 of combined account size active at once, across both challenge types.

How it is measured

Counted across all your active evaluation and funded accounts, by starting size. Registering twice, or buying past the cap, is a breach that closes the accounts involved, so check your total before you buy.

Worked example

A $10,000 and a $5,000 account together sit exactly at the cap. Adding a $1,000 account on top goes over it; wait until one of the two is closed.
