Astral Turbo 3-Phase Challenge

Updated this week

Astral Turbo is an advanced 3-Phase Challenge designed for traders who want to demonstrate exceptional consistency and discipline across multiple evaluation stages.

With up to 7 days per phase, tightened risk parameters, and a two-step payment system, Astral Turbo offers a structured path to a funded account with account sizes up to $1,000,000.

You pay 50% of the fee upfront, and the remaining 50% only once you pass all three evaluation phases and are ready to enter the funded phase.


What Makes Astral Turbo Different

  • Three evaluation phases with up to 7 days each to complete.

  • Two-step payment system – pay 50% upfront, and the remaining 50% only once you pass Phase 3 and get funded.

  • Account sizes available up to $1,000,000.

  • A minimum of 10 trading days is required in the funded stage to be eligible to request a payout.

  • In the funded phase, a trading day counts only if you reach at least 0.25% realized profit for that day.

  • Weekend & overnight holding is allowed in all phases.

How Payouts Work in Astral Turbo

To be eligible for a payout from an Astral Turbo funded account you must satisfy the following:

  • Minimum trading days: Complete at least 10 trading days in the funded account.

  • What counts as a trading day: A trading day is counted only if your realized (booked/closed) net profit for that day is at least 0.25% of the funded account balance.

  • Only closed/booked profit counts. Unrealized (open) P&L does not count toward the 0.25% requirement until the position is closed.

  • If you open a trade on one day and close it on another, the profit is counted for the trading day on which you closed the trade (the closing time in UTC).

Payout Schedule:

Available after 10 calendar days with at least 10 trading days completed.

In addition to these conditions, your payout request must reflect a reasonably consistent distribution of profits. In practice, this means that no single trading day should represent more than 20% of the total amount you are withdrawing. If this threshold is exceeded, a part of your withdrawal may be shifted to a later payout, while your funded account remains active.

A: Trading days run on UTC — each day starts at 00:00 UTC and ends at 23:59:59 UTC.
