Additional Rules

Two-phase evaluation: On a $200,000 account, traders must generate $20,000 in Phase 1 and $10,000 in Phase 2 in closed profits while respecting all risk rules. This is the largest challenge in the 2-Step Standard lineup by absolute profit requirement.
Minimum profitable days: At least 3 profitable trading days required in each phase and per payout cycle. Minimum profit of 0.5% ($1,000) per qualifying day.
Daily loss limit of 5% static: On a $200,000 account, the maximum daily loss is $10,000.
Maximum drawdown of 10% static: The absolute floor is $180,000 on a $200,000 account.
No time limit across all phases.
Leverage: 1:50 Forex, 1:15 Metals/Energies, 1:10 Indices, 1:2 Crypto.
Profit split: 80% default, 90% add-on available.
Payout frequency: Bi-weekly, minimum $100 withdrawal.
News trading: Permitted in challenge. In funded, ±2 minute news restriction with profit removal.
EAs, scalping and swing trading permitted. HFT, arbitrage, all-in sizing prohibited.
Weekend and overnight holding permitted. No consistency rule. Inactivity rule: 90 days.
Largest 2-Step Standard account: At $200,000, this is the highest tier in the lineup. Generating $30,000 total across both phases while staying within a $20,000 max drawdown requires excellent execution consistency across an extended evaluation period.
$10,000 minimum per qualifying day bar: The 0.5% minimum qualifying day requirement translates to $1,000 per day. A trader who approaches Phase 1 conservatively must average at least $6,667 per qualifying session across 3 days to meet the timing requirement, which sets a high execution standard for disciplined traders.
Phase 2 at $10,000 after Phase 1: Generating the Phase 2 target after Phase 1 has already been completed means the trader must sustain strong performance without the adrenaline of the first-phase milestone. Overconfidence after Phase 1 and reduction in risk discipline are the most common failure points at this account level.

Scaling Plan

Performance-based account growth: Traders who demonstrate consistent performance can increase their account allocation by 25% every four months, allowing progressive access to larger capital without a new challenge requirement.
VIP rewards program: After 4 months of funded trading and 4 successful withdrawals with an average monthly profit of at least 4%, traders unlock a free challenge replacement, higher capital allocation, and a 90% profit split.
Maximum capital allocation: Through performance-based growth, traders can reach a maximum total allocation of $400,000, meaning a $200,000 account can double through consistent performance.
Consistent rules throughout growth: All trading rules and risk parameters remain unchanged as the account grows.
Profit split progression: The default 80% split increases to 90% through the VIP rewards program.
