Challenge Phase

Profit Target: 9%

Reach a 9% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.

Minimum Trading Days: 2 days

2 trading days are required (4 days for accounts $400,000 and above).

Daily Drawdown: 4%

Maximum daily loss allowed within a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC).

Example: On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $4,000.

Static Drawdown: 5%

A fixed maximum loss limit calculated from your starting balance. It does not trail, and it does not move up with profits.

Example: On a $100,000 account, your static drawdown limit is $5,000. If your equity or balance drops below $95,000, the account is considered breached.


Funded Phase

Once you pass the Challenge, the same drawdown rules continue to apply:

  • Daily Drawdown: 4%

  • Static Drawdown: 5%

Payout Requirement: 1%

Before requesting your first or any subsequent payout, you must generate at least 1% profit calculated from your initial balance.

Account Size

$50,000

$500

$100,000

$1,000

$200,000

$2,000

$500,000

$5,000

How it works:

  • No minimum trading days in funded phase

  • Trade at your own pace

  • Applies to each payout separately

  • Resets after each successful withdrawal

  • Only closed trades count

Max Single Trade Loss: 3%

In the funded phase, you must not lose more than 3% of your initial funded balance in a single trade.

Violating this rule is a hard breach and leads to account termination.

Example: On a $100,000 funded account, the maximum loss allowed on any single trade is $3,000.

Best Day Rule: 30%

To be eligible for a payout, no single trading day can represent more than 30% of your total profits.

Important: This is a SOFT rule. It does NOT breach your account. It only delays your payout until your profit distribution becomes more balanced.

Trying to bypass it by splitting a large winning position (hedging, partial closes, etc.) is not allowed. The profit may be treated as if it was closed on a single day.

Profit Split: Up to 99%

You keep up to 99% of profits generated in your funded account.


How Trading Days Count

A trading day is counted only if all conditions below are met:

Requirement

Condition

Minimum Closed Profit

More than 1% of the initial account balance

Minimum Activity

At least one closed trade

Calculation Basis

Only closed trades count (realized PnL)

Open Trades

Do not count toward the trading day

Time Zone

Trades Crossing Midnight

Count for the next trading day

Important: Even if you reach the profit target before completing the minimum trading days, you must continue trading until all required trading days are completed.

Your phase is not considered complete until both conditions are met:

  • Profit Target is reached

  • Minimum Trading Days are fulfilled
