This challenge is built for traders who prefer a measured, step-by-step approach with generous drawdown limits and no time pressure. By successfully completing both stages while respecting the risk rules, traders unlock a funded account with the opportunity to earn up to 100% of their profits.
How the 2-Step Challenge Works
Traders complete two evaluation stages
Each stage has its own profit objective
There is no time limit to complete either stage
Once both stages are passed, the account is upgraded to funded status
The second stage is designed to confirm consistency, ensuring traders can manage risk effectively over time.
Trading Conditions
Unlimited time on all stages
Clear daily and overall risk limits
Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated strategies are allowed
All trading is conducted on Platform 5
The same core risk framework continues once the account becomes funded, providing a smooth transition from evaluation to live trading.
