How the challenge works.
One ruleset, three lengths. Pick the timeline that fits how you trade.
Long runway, room for cooler streaks. Best for traders who want time to wait for high-conviction setups.
- 20–100 trades
- 12 active days minimum
Tighter window. Forces you to act on real edge, with no hiding in 25 trades over a month.
- 10–50 trades
- 5 active days minimum
Two days. Five trades minimum. The fastest path from $99 to a funded account.
- 5–25 trades
- No active-day minimum
Three rules. No others.
These three numbers are the entire ruleset. They apply at every tier, and they don’t change once your challenge starts.
Hit 20% above your starting bankroll within the challenge window. The same target across every tier, with no tier traps.
If your equity drops 8% from start-of-day, the challenge ends immediately. Daily reset at 00:00 UTC.
If your equity ever drops 20% from your high water mark, the challenge ends. One hard ceiling.
What a passing run looks like
Synthetic example on the Pro tier. Real runs are noisier. The shape — gradual climb without breaching drawdown — is the goal.
Synthetic curve. Your results will vary. The line never breaches 8% daily or 20% total drawdown.
How you fail
Three failure modes. We list them up front instead of burying them in fine print.
Daily drawdown breach
Equity drops 8% from start-of-day at any point. Challenge ends immediately. Daily reset at 00:00 UTC.
Total drawdown breach
Equity drops 20% from your high water mark. No appeals. The challenge ends.
Time-out
Challenge window closes (30 days / 7 days / 48 hours) without hitting profit target. Counts as a fail.
Retry policy
Failed traders get 20% off the next attempt of the same tier (24-hour window). The Free Retry add-on makes the next attempt free instead.
