The Ascent rules
- Three phases, each with a 5% profit target and a minimum of 3 trading days.
- Maximum daily loss of 3% and a static maximum loss of 6% of the initial balance.
- Consistency: your best day may not exceed 50% of the phase profit to pass.
- Evaluation accounts are flat over the weekend (Friday 20:45 to Sunday 22:00 UTC).
3-Step vs 2-Step
The 2-Step asks for 10% and then 5% with wider limits. Ascent asks for three steps of 5% with tighter limits and a lower price. If you prefer steady, small gains over one bigger push, Ascent fits better.
Payout conditions
Payouts on paid funded accounts: profit above a 3% buffer that stays in the account, first payout 14 days after funding and then every 14 days, 5 winning days of at least 0.5% each and a best day of at most 40% of the cycle profit. After a payout the maximum loss is locked at the initial balance.
