Challenge Process and Review

Challenge Phase

A challenge account is initialized when the 1-Step challenge begins. The profit target is 10% of account size, with no minimum valid trading day requirement during the challenge; see Profit Targets and Valid Trading Days. You must still follow Maximum Daily Loss and Maximum Account Loss and Position and Holding Time Rules. Once the target and other requirements are met, close all positions and open orders, then wait for system confirmation and review.

Review and Funded Account Opening

Trading is unavailable during review. The review checks the profit target, loss limits, positions, trading conduct, and account and identity information. Reaching the target does not guarantee approval; check the account page for the result.

If approved and no other funded account is actively trading, a new funded account is initialized and opened. If one is already actively trading, the new account opens after it ends. A user may have up to five unfinished 1-Step challenge accounts, but only one funded account actively trading at a time.

The challenge's 10% profit target does not apply again to the funded account, and there is no payout waiting period or minimum valid trading day requirement. Once the funded account has eligible profit, you may submit a request under Payout Rules and Request Process. Challenge profits cannot be paid out, and the funded account is initialized separately.
