The Challenge Phase is designed to give serious, consistent traders a fair way to demonstrate their skill - while filtering out random luck or one-off wins.
Since 1-step challenge skips one whole step, the rules are slightly stricter, in order to keep the challenging aspect and serve their purpose. However, the rules for the Funded stage are same as for the Standard challenge.
To ensure this, the following rules apply:
Profit Target: 30%
Minimum Picks: 25
Minimum Pick Size: 1% of your initial balance
Maximum Pick Size: 5% of your initial balance
Maximum Overall Loss: 15% of your maximum balance
Maximum Daily Loss: 10% of your initial balance
Violating any of these rules will result in a failed challenge.
