To successfully complete the Challenge Phase, you must grow your account by 30% from the starting balance. This target is set to confirm that your strategy is not only consistent, but also capable of producing meaningful returns over a controlled period.
For example, if your starting balance is $10,000, your account must reach $13,000 before you can pass the challenge—while still staying within the risk rules (loss limits, pick sizes, etc.).
The profit target ensures that only those with a disciplined, sustainable edge in trading are eligible to move on to the Funded Phase.
