2-Step challenge rules
- Phase 1: 10% target, 30 days, minimum 5 trading days.
- Phase 2: 5% target, 60 days, minimum 5 trading days.
- Maximum daily loss 4% and maximum loss 8% (static, from the initial balance).
- Consistency: your best day may not exceed 50% of the phase profit.
- Positions are closed before the weekend during the evaluation.
Why choose the 2-Step?
A static 8% maximum loss gives you more room than a trailing drawdown: profits you make push you further away from the limit. Combined with a lower second target, the 2-Step suits swing traders and anyone who prefers wider stops.
