Rule Details
1. Minimum Trading Days
You must trade for at least 5 days per stage. These do not need to be consecutive.
A day counts as a trading day when at least one trade remains open for a minimum of 1 minute (60 seconds) — regardless of whether the trade closes in profit or loss.
2. Daily Drawdown
This is the maximum loss allowed in a single trading day. If your balance or equity hits this level at any point during the day, your account will be considered breached and terminated.
The daily limit resets every day between 11:30 PM – 11:59 PM CET (rollover). It is not recommended to trade during this window.

Plan | Daily Drawdown |
2-Step Bright | 4% of original challenge balance |
2-Step Classic | 5% of original challenge balance |
1-Step | 3% of original challenge balance |
3. Maximum Drawdown
This is the absolute maximum loss allowed on your account at any point. If your balance or equity reaches this level, the account will be terminated immediately.
Static — fixed from the original account balance, does not move.
Trailing — follows the high-water mark (highest equity ever reached). Once the equity grows by 6% above the initial balance, the limit locks at the original balance and stops moving.
Plan | Max. Drawdown | Type |
2-Step Bright | 8% | Static |
2-Step Classic | 10% | Static |
1-Step | 6% | Trailing |
4. Profit Target
Plan | Phase 1 Target | Phase 2 Target |
2-Step Bright | 8% | 5% |
2-Step Classic | 10% | 5% |
1-Step | 10% | — |
You must reach the profit target for each stage to advance.
