Challenge Phase Goals

Profit Target: Reach a 6% profit on your account balance. All positions must be closed.

Minimum Trading Days with 1% profit requirement: 2 days


Challenge Phase Requirements

Daily Drawdown: 6%

Maximum loss allowed within a single trading day (24-hour period from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC).

Example: On a $100,000 account, your maximum daily loss is $6,000.

Dynamic Risk Shield™: 6%

Your account is protected by our Dynamic Risk Shield™ – a safeguard that adjusts with your trading performance.

How it works:

• The shield tracks your account's highest equity point (High Water Mark)

• Your drawdown limit is always calculated as 6% below this peak

• As your equity grows, the shield rises with it – locking in your progress

• The shield never decreases, only moves upward with your success

Example on a $100,000 account:

Scenario

Equity

Shield Level

Status

Start

$100,000

$94,000

✅ Active

Profit +$3,000

$103,000

$96,820

✅ Shield rises

Drawdown -$4,000

$99,000

$96,820

✅ Still protected

Further loss -$3,000

$96,000

$96,820

❌ Shield triggered

Key point: Once the shield rises, it stays at that level permanently. The highest point where the Dynamic Risk Shield™ can rise is the initial balance. This rewards consistent growth while protecting against significant drawdowns.


Max Single Trade Risk: 3%

To manage risk effectively, traders must not risk more than 3% of the initial account balance on a single trade.

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

Note: Splitting trades into multiple positions on the same instrument in the same direction does not bypass this rule – they are counted as one trade.


Funded Phase Rules

Once you pass the Thunderbolt Challenge and reach the funded phase, the following rules apply:

Daily Drawdown: 3%

Tighter than the challenge phase to ensure disciplined trading with our capital.

Example: On a $100,000 funded account, your maximum daily loss is $3,000.

Dynamic Risk Shield™: 4%

The same protection mechanism as the challenge, but with a tighter 4% threshold.

How it works:

• Shield tracks your highest equity point

• Drawdown limit is 4% below the peak

• Shield only moves upward, never down

• The highest point where the Dynamic Risk Shield™ can rise is the initial balance

Max Single Trade Risk: 3%

Same as challenge phase – maximum 3% risk per trade based on initial funded balance.

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


Best Day Rule: 20%

No single trading day can represent more than 20% of your total withdrawal amount.

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

Example: You want to withdraw $10,000 → Your best trading day must be $2,000 or less.

Note: Trying to bypass the Best Day Rule by intentionally splitting a large winning position(hedging or closing parts separately) is not allowed. The entire profit from that trade may be counted as if it was closed on a single day.


Profit Split: 99%

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


How a Trading Day Counts

A trading day is counted only if all of the following conditions 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 P/L)

Open trades

Do not count toward the trading day

Time zone

UTC (00:00 to 23:59)

Trades crossing midnight

Count for the day they are closed


Important: Profit Target vs. Minimum Trading Days

Even if you reach the profit target before completing the required minimum trading days, you must continue trading until all minimum trading days have been fulfilled.

Example: If you reach the 6% profit target on Day 1, you still need to complete at least one more trading day (Day 2) to successfully finish the challenge.

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

✅ Profit Target is reached (6%

✅ Minimum Trading Days fulfilled (2 days)


Time Zone

All trading days are calculated using the UTC timezone.

• Each trading day starts at 00:00 UTC and ends at 23:59 UTC

• Trades opened before midnight and closed after midnight count for the next day
