2-Step Challange

Comprehensive Support & FAQs

What is the structure of the 2-Step Evaluation Plan?

The program is divided into two consecutive evaluation phases before granting access to a funded account. Its purpose is to identify users who are not only profitable but also demonstrate consistency and effective risk management.

PHASE 1 – EVALUATION Execution Objectives:

Profit Target: 8%

Daily Drawdown Limit: 3%

Maximum Overall Drawdown: 8%

Maximum Execution Days: Unlimited

Minimum Profitable Days: 3

Maximum Risk per Trade Idea: 1.5%

PHASE 2 – EVALUATION Execution Objectives:

Profit Target: 4%

Daily Drawdown Limit: 3%

Maximum Overall Drawdown: 8%

Maximum Execution Days: Unlimited

Minimum Profitable Days: 3

Maximum Risk per Trade Idea: 1.5%

Note: The 1.5% maximum risk per trade idea applies during both evaluation phases and the funded stage. Breaching this limit may result in disqualification.

FUNDED ACCOUNT STAGE

Profit Target for Scaling: 8%

Daily Drawdown: 3%

Overall Drawdown: Starts at 8% and may be increased up to 12% based on the user’s risk rating

Payout Split: 80%

Minimum Profitable Days for Withdrawals or Scaling: 3

Payout Frequency: Every 14 days

Maximum Risk per Trade Idea: 1.5%

SCALING PLAN

What is the purpose of the scaling plan?

The scaling model rewards consistent users with capital increases and additional benefits as they progress.

What are the requirements to scale?

Achieve a cumulative profit of 8% on the current funded level Record at least 3 profitable Execution days since the last upgrade or funded account activation

How does the process work?

Upon reaching 8% profit, the account is automatically paused for one business day

A new funded account with increased capital is then issued

If the user has not yet completed the five profitable day requirement, the account is still scaled, but profits remain on hold until the condition has been satisfied.

Can I withdraw without reaching the scaling target?

Yes. Withdrawals are permitted even if the 8% scaling target has not been reached. However, all gross payouts (before split) contribute toward the scaling threshold.

PAYOUT STRUCTURE BY LEVEL

How are payouts structured across different levels?

Levels 1 & 2:
80% of profits are paid to the user

20% is retained by the firm

Level 3:
100% of profits are allocated to the user, with the following structure:

50% available for immediate withdrawal

50% reserved as capital for the Leveraged Live Account

The firm may contribute up to an additional 50% of the Level 3 profit to boost the Live capital, subject to performance and risk profile.

Example – Level 3 Payout and Transition

Account Size: $150,000

Profit Achieved (8%): $12,000 Distribution: $6,000 paid immediately to the user $6,000 reserved for the Live

Account Up to $6,000 additional contribution from the firm Capital Base for Live

Account: $12,000 Total Buying Power (10x): $120,000

LEVERAGED LIVE ACCOUNT

What is the Leveraged Live Account?

After successfully completing Level 3, the user gains access to a Live Account hosted by our partner brokerage, operating under real market conditions. This account is part of a controlled risk model designed to scale user capital responsibly while limiting potential losses.

Key Characteristics:

The user receives a custom Live Account with 10x buying power, applied over the total capital base (user’s reserved profit + any firm contribution). This is not the same as the default leverage offered by the broker on individual instruments. The leverage is applied at the account level, based on the capital base—not on a per-trade basis.

Risk Management and Loss Limitation

Maximum loss is strictly limited to the capital base. The user cannot lose more than the amount reserved in the Live Account (e.g., $12,000), even though the account provides access to $120,000 in buying power. This ensures a defined and capped downside for both the user and the firm. The capital base is locked for 30 days as operational margin before becoming eligible for release or reinvestment.

TRANSITION TO LIVE ACCOUNT

What happens after Level 3?

Upon successful completion of Level 3 and a positive risk assessment, the user transitions to a real-money Live Account operated under controlled conditions. This marks the beginning of the Live Execution Stage.

Where is the Live Account held?

The Live Account is hosted through our associated brokerage, where all orders are executed under real market conditions using actual capital. This setup ensures full transparency and regulatory compliance.

Is there a new contract for the Live stage?

Yes. users must sign a new agreement before transitioning to Live. This contract governs the use of real capital, outlines risk parameters, and establishes the terms of operation between the user, the firm, and the partner broker.

How is the Live Account structured?

The capital base is formed by the user’s reserved profit from Level 3 (50% of the payout) The firm may optionally add a matching contribution of up to 50% The total capital base is locked for 30 calendar days as operational margin and risk collateral A proprietary leverage of 10x is applied to the capital base to determine buying power Losses are strictly limited to the base capital (user’s and firm’s combined contribution) The user can never lose more than the capital provided—not the full leveraged amount This differs from standard per-instrument leverage settings of the broker.

What is the purpose of the 30-day lock?

The locked period serves as a risk buffer and ensures that the capital base is not withdrawn or manipulated during the user’s initial operations in real markets. After this period, the capital may be released or reinvested based on performance and risk evaluation.
