The 1-Step account has a single challenge phase. Pass it once and you move to the Funded Stage.
Profit Target
- Challenge: 9%
- Funded: none
- Conditions: the profit target is verified strictly on closed account balance. All open positions and pending orders must be completely closed for target verification.
- Example ($100,000 account): initial balance is $100,000 and the required profit is $9,000. The balance must reach $109,000 with no active exposure to pass.
Minimum Days
- Challenge: 3 Winning Days.
- Funded: 5 Winning Days before each payout.
- A Winning Day is a single trading day (00:00 to 23:59 UTC) in which your account's profit reaches at least 0.5% of the Initial Account Balance, calculated on an equity basis.
Maximum Daily Drawdown
- Challenge: 4% of the Initial Account Balance ($4,000 on a $100k account).
- Funded: 4% of the Initial Account Balance ($4,000 on a $100k account).
- Includes closed trades and floating losses on open positions.
- Resets every day at 00:00 UTC, dashboard time.
- A breach is permanent account failure. There is no daily pause.
Maximum Loss
- Challenge and Funded: 6% of the Initial Account Balance. Balance or equity cannot fall below $94,000 on a $100k account.
- Static and fixed from the starting balance. It does not trail upward with profits.
Minimum Holding Time
- 3 minutes for every trade, in all stages. Closing earlier is a hard breach.
News Trading
- Challenge: unrestricted.
- Funded: no opening or closing of trades on the affected instrument from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a high-impact release. A Stop-Loss or Take-Profit that fires inside the window is a soft breach.
Overnight and Weekend Holding
- Overnight: not allowed by default. Every trade must open and close within the same UTC day (before 00:00 UTC). Unlocked with the Overnight Holding Add-on (+10% of the account fee).
- Weekend: not allowed by default. All positions must be closed from Friday 23:00 UTC to Sunday 23:00 UTC.
- Weekend holding is unlocked with the Weekend Holding Add-on (+15% of the account fee) at checkout.
Additional Funded Stage rules
- Trade layering: a new trade may open only 10 minutes after the previous trade's opening time.
- 1% Per-Trade Risk Rule: the floating loss on a single position must not exceed 1% of the Initial Account Balance.
- EAs are allowed only if they follow every rule. High-frequency trading (HFT) bots are not allowed.
