One–Step Challenge Attributes

What are the key attributes of the One-Step Challenge?

Updated this week



PROFIT TARGET on the One–Step Challenge

  • This is the profit you must achieve to pass the Challenge. Profit Target is calculated from the closed positions only, therefore open positions do not count toward the Profit Target.

  • 9% or 10%, depending on your order.

  • Important: During the Challenge, no single trade may exceed 70% of the Profit Target

  • There is no Profit Target once you reach your Master Account (funded stage).

MAX DRAWDOWN on the One–Step Challenge

  • 6% limit

  • In the One-Step Challenge, the Max Drawdown is trailing, calculated from your account’s highest equity.

  • For more information about drawdowns, click here.

  • Max Drawdown is the same on Challenge and will remain the same once you reach your Master Account (funded stage).

DAILY DRAWDOWN on the One–Step Challenge

  • 3% limit

  • Daily Drawdown is calculated from your balance at the end of the previous day. A violation occurs if an open position pushes your equity below this drawdown limit.

  • The Daily Drawdown rule will remain on your Master Account (funded stage).

MINIMUM PROFITABLE DAYS on the One–Step Challenge

  • 3

  • You must trade for at least three days to pass the One–Step Challenge. A day is considered a Profitable Day if the end-of-day balance is at least 0.5% higher than the previous day’s balance.

  • There are no minimum profitable days once you reach your Master Account (funded stage).

NO TIME LIMIT on the One–Step Challenge

  • There is no time limit for completing the One-Step Challenge.

PROFIT SPLIT on the Master Account

  • 80% or 90%, depending on your order

REWARDS on the Master Account

  • Bi-weekly (every 14 days).

HOLDING Over Weekend and Overnight

  • Allowed on all accounts, both Challenges and Master (funded) Accounts.

NEWS TRADING on One–Step Challenge

  • During the One-Step Challenge, you can freely trade news with no restrictions.

  • Once you move to a Master Account (funded stage), you may hold trades over news events but cannot open new trades within five minutes before or after a high-impact news release.

  • For complete details and examples, please click here.

INACTIVITY

  • An account is considered inactive if there is no meaningful trading activity for 30 consecutive days. This rule applies to all programs, both Challenges and Master (funded) Accounts.

40% Margin Rule

  • This rule prevents you from using more than 40% of your available margin for a single trade or multiple trades on the same instrument in the same direction. This rule applies to both One-Step Challenges and Master (funded) Accounts.

  • If you’d rather not have this restriction, you can try our Challenge PRO, where the 40% Margin Rule does not apply.
