The 2-Step Challenge consists of two assessment phases. Both phases must be successfully completed in order to achieve Funded status.

1.2 Initial Capital (Initial Equity)
The initial capital corresponds to the chosen account.
If you purchase, for example, a $10,000 account, your initial equity is $10,000.

1.3 Maximum Total Loss Limit (Static Max Drawdown – 10 %)
The maximum total loss is static and amounts to 10 % of the initial capital.
This limit does not move with your account balance, but always remains at the same value.

• Initial Capital: $10,000

• 10 % Max Drawdown = $1,000

• Lowest Allowed Equity = $9,000

If your equity ever falls to $9,000 or lower, it constitutes a severe rule violation and the account will be closed – regardless of how much you have traded the account before.

1.4 Daily Loss (Daily Drawdown – 4 %, Balance-based)
Additionally, there is a daily loss limit of 4 %, which is calculated based on your balance.
The Daily Drawdown is reset once a day at 21:59 UTC – at this point, the new reference balance is established.

• Basis: Balance at reset time (21:59 UTC)

• Maximum daily loss: 4 % of this balance

Example:
At 21:59 UTC, your balance is $10,000.
→ 4 % Daily Drawdown = $400
Your equity must not fall below $9,600 in the next 24-hour window.

Even if you temporarily trade up to, say, $11,000, the Daily Drawdown line for that day remains at $9,600 – it does not trail up. Only at the next reset (21:59 UTC) will it be recalculated.

1.5 Minimum Trading Days
You must complete at least three tradable days in both Phase 1 and Phase 2.

1.6 Inactivity
A break is possible, but inactivity for more than 21 days (not a single trade) will lead to account closure.

1.7 Weekend Trading
Weekend trades are allowed.
You may keep positions open overnight and over the weekend.
