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.

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).
