The easiest path to a funded account - designed to be completed in just 24 hours, but with unlimited time to prove yourself.
The Ash Challenge is our simplest and most accessible evaluation model. With just a 2% profit target and no time pressure, it's designed for traders who want to get funded without the stress of high targets or strict deadlines.
Why "Half Step"? Because it's half the difficulty of our 1-Step Thunderbolt challenge. And here's the best part - you have unlimited time. No countdown. No pressure. Trade at your own pace.
Designed for 24 hours, but no deadline. The challenge is so easy that most traders complete it within a single trading day. But if you need more time, take it.
Let that sink in:
🔥 $287 for a $100,000 account (85% OFF – limited time) with code BOGO85
🔥 Only 2% profit target
🔥 1:100 leverage – trade with real power, not the 1:30 retail nonsense
🔥 Up to 99% profit split – keep almost everything you earn
🔥 No time limit – zero pressure, trade at your own pace
🔥 Funding up to $1,000,000 – scale to seven figures

Challenge Phase Details
The Goal: Just 2% Profit
Reach a 2% net profit on your account balance. That's it. All positions must be closed to count toward the target.
Example: On a $100,000 account, you need to make just $2,000 profit.
Compare that to our 1-Step Thunderbolt which requires 6% ($9,000 on a $100k account). Ash is nearly 3x easier to pass.
Time Limit: Unlimited
There is no time limit. Take one day, one week, or one month - it's entirely up to you.
• No countdown timer
• No pressure
• Trade only when you see the right opportunities
Designed for 24 hours: With just a 2% target and 1:100 leverage, most traders complete it within a single trading session. But this is a goal, not a deadline.
