Which challenge fits swing trading?
The 1-Step challenge is the natural choice: no time limit, no weekend closing rule and a single 10% target. Its 6% maximum loss is trailing, so size positions so a normal pullback never reaches it.
The 2-Step challenge has a wider, static 8% maximum loss, but positions are closed before the weekend during its evaluation, so plan swing entries from Monday to Friday.
Risk management for multi-day trades
- Use wider stops with smaller size: risk stays at 0.5%–1% of the account.
- Remember that floating losses count towards the daily loss limit at 00:00 UTC.
- Avoid holding large size into high-impact events unless it is part of your plan.
- Swap (overnight financing) may apply to positions held overnight; check the instrument specs on the platform.
