Challenge Requirements
Daily Drawdown
Does not apply to instant standard
The “Daily Drawdown” is the maximum amount you can lose in a single trading day. This limit is set at 4% of your previous day’s highest balance or equity.
At 00:00 UTC, a new daily drawdown limit is calculated. We take whichever value is higher at that time, your account balance or equity, and subtract 4% of the previous day’s highest balance or equity.
This sets the daily loss limit for the new trading day.
This sets the daily loss limit for the new trading day.
If your combined closed and open losses for the day hit or pass this limit at any time, it is considered a violation of the rule.

Maximum Drawdown
The Maximum Drawdown is the total loss limit on your account. It is set at 8% of your initial account balance, and includes both closed and open trades. If your equity drops below this level at any time, the account will breach
Initial Balance:
$100,000
Balance with drawdown
$92,000
− 8%
Initial Balance:
$100,000
Max Drawdown
92%
Your Max Drawdown level is fixed based on your starting balance. Once your equity falls to 92% of your initial account balance, including any floating losses, the limit is hit and the account is considered breached.
Profit Target
The Profit Target is the required profit you must reach within each phase of your Challenge in order to progress to the next stage.
For our 2-Step Challenge model, your target is:
Phase 1: reach 8% profit, Phase 2: reach 5% profit
Only closed profits count toward your Profit Target. Floating (unclosed) trades do not count.
Before progressing to the next phase, you must close all open positions.
For example:
If you complete Phase 1 with more than 8% profit and all positions are closed, you move to Phase 2.

In Phase 2, the Profit Target resets to 5%, meaning your performance begins fresh in that phase.

Once you complete Phase 2 at 5% profit and meet all risk rules, you are eligible to receive your funded account.
Minimum Profitable Days
The minimum profitable days required to pass the challenge for our One-Step models is 3 days.
You must trade on at least 3 separate days for them to count. For a day to qualify as profitable, you must finish the day with a gain of at least 0.5% compared to the previous end-of-day balance.
If you reach the profit target before completing all 3 profitable days, you must continue trading until the requirement is met. Once all criteria are satisfied, you can progress to the next stage.
Three-Step Model No minimum profitable days required
Inactivity Rule
You must place at least one trade within any 30-day period.
If no trades are placed within 30 days, the account will be marked inactive and will result in a breach.
This rule applies from the moment you place your first trade.

Swap Fees
Swap fees apply when a position is held overnight. These are overnight charges or credits applied to your account based on the instrument you are trading.
Swap fees can vary depending on market conditions, interest rate differences, broker pricing, and how long the position is held. In some cases, a swap may result in a credit rather than a charge.
Swap fees are calculated automatically and are visible directly on your trading platform.
