The 1-Step challenge: one phase, tighter limits, no time limit

How the Axora 1-Step works: a single 10% target, 3% daily loss, 6% trailing maximum loss and no deadline. Who it suits and how to trade it.

By the Axora Funded Research Team

The 1-Step gets you funded after a single phase. The price of that speed is tighter limits. Prices go from $49 for $5K to $1,049 for $200K, with up to a 90% split once funded.

The rules

  • Profit target: 10%.
  • Daily loss: 3%, measured like the 2-Step (reference at 00:00 UTC on the higher of balance or equity).
  • Maximum loss: 6% trailing.
  • Minimum 3 trading days; no maximum time limit.
  • Consistency: best day no more than 50% of total profit.

How the trailing maximum loss works

The 6% floor follows your highest equity upwards. On a $100K account, the floor starts at $94,000. If equity reaches $103,000, the floor rises to $97,000. Once the floor reaches the starting balance, it stops moving. Profits taken early therefore also raise the floor: the account gets less room, not more, as you win.

Who it suits

  • Traders with tight, consistent risk who dislike deadlines.
  • Traders who want to be funded after one phase.
  • Not ideal for wide-stop swing traders: 3% daily and a trailing floor leave little room.
