The 1-Step Evaluation
Updated 30 October 2026
The 1-Step Challenge has one evaluation phase before the funded stage.
Accounts bought from 15 October 2026 need 7 trading days and 5 profitable days in each stage. Accounts bought before that keep their original rules (3 trading days, no profitable-day requirement).
Phase 1 — Evaluation
- Profit Target: 10%
- Daily Loss Limit: 4% Static
- Maximum Drawdown: 6% Static
- Drawdown Basis: Equity
- Minimum Trading Days: 7
- Profitable Days: 5 (each at least +1% of the account)
The phase passes only when the profit target, the 7 trading days and the 5 profitable days are all met.
Profitable day: a day your closed trades make at least 1% of the account size in net profit (after commission). On a $10,000 account that is $100 or more in one day.
Funded Stage
- Withdrawal Target: 5%
- Daily Loss Limit: 4% Static
- Maximum Drawdown: 6% Static
- Drawdown Basis: Equity
- Before each payout: 7 trading days and 5 profitable days (each at least +1% of the account)
- Profit Split: 80%
- Minimum Withdrawal: $50
- Payout Schedule: Weekly on Saturday
Important trading rules
- Max Profit Per Trade: one trade counts toward at most 60% of the current target. If its open profit touches the cap, that trade's ENTIRE profit is removed at close, even if it closes lower, and noted on the trade in history. The account is never breached for profit.
- Minimum hold: on accounts opened from 20 Aug 2026, the first manual close under 60 seconds is a warning with its profit removed and the second ends the account, and a take-profit or stop-loss under 60 seconds gives 4 warnings then ends it. On accounts opened earlier, the first fast close warns and later ones only have their profit removed. - Floating loss: on accounts opened from 20 Aug 2026, open trades may lose at most 1.5% of the account at once, commission included, checked live.
- Consecutive same-direction trades: no breach rule on paid accounts, but at most 4 positions per pair can be open in one direction.
- Martingale sizing is allowed on paid accounts; only the Free Challenge restricts it.
- Same-pair hedging, automated bots/EAs, and HFT are prohibited.
News trading and weekend holding are allowed. Market hours still apply, so closed instruments cannot accept new trades.
