SEASON OPEN — ALL REGIONS*
No spectators here. One route, one target: clear the One Step assessment without breaching the risk rules, and unlock a funded account backed by our capital. Withdrawals are subject to an 80/20 profit split in your favour. No time limits. Ever.
*Business hours, after KYC and Trader Agreement. Availability excludes OFAC-listed countries. Trading involves a high level of risk.
// LEVEL UP
Every player runs the same ladder: prove your edge in the assessment, get funded, and withdraw your share of the gains. No hidden bosses, no time limits.
One route, one target: the One Step assessment asks for a 10% profit target. Trade FX and CFDs on indices, metals, commodities, and crypto on a Company-provided account. Stay inside the 5% daily loss limit and the 6% static max drawdown — those are hard breaches. There's no clock.
Pass the assessment, clear KYC and the Trader Agreement, and your funded account is typically issued within 24–48 business hours. Same rules as your assessment, with one upgrade: no profit target. The capital is notional and backed by the Company — and notional funding doesn't change your trading conditions at all.
Request your first withdrawal whenever you want — then every 30 days after that. Withdrawals are subject to an 80/20 profit split in your favour. Note: if a funded account hard-breaches, any accumulated gains are forfeited unless you purchased the Payout Protector add-on.
// SELECT YOUR ROUTE
One challenge framework — the One Step Assessment — available in three account sizes, up to $1,000,000 in active evaluation plans per player. These are the published parameters. No fine-print surprises mid-match.
One target. One push. The fastest route to funded — with the tightest discipline check.
Funded accounts run the same rules as your assessment — minus the profit target. A maximum of $1,000,000 in active evaluation plans and $1,000,000 in active funded plans per person, composed of multiple assessments across any plan type. If activating another account would exceed the $1,000,000 limit, you wait until an existing active account is breached, closed, or otherwise no longer active. No compounding limits: starting funding can grow without a maximum balance cap.
// KNOW THE META
Every competitive game has rules that keep the ladder fair. Ours are published, mechanical, and the same for everyone. Learn them before you queue.
Your daily floor is calculated from the greater of the prior day's end-of-day balance (closed P&L) or end-of-day equity (balance + open P&L), and resets at 5:00 PM EST. On the One Step plan it is 5%. Cross the floor intraday and the account hard-breaches.
One Step runs a 6% static drawdown (using closed balance) that stays at the same value for as long as the account is active. Start at $100,000 and you can draw down to $94,000 — take the closed balance to $102,000 and the threshold stays at $94,000. All plans have Lock Upon Payout enabled by default: when you submit a payout request, the max drawdown locks permanently at your starting balance unless you bought the Remove Lock Upon Payout add-on.
No AFK farming. Go 30 consecutive days without placing a trade and the account breaches. One trade resets the clock.
Positions can be held over the weekend — no Friday flat requirement. Keep in mind that only crypto allows weekend trading, so everything else waits for the Monday open.
No opening positions within 3 minutes before or after a News Event. Violations can mean the position is closed and its P&L removed, leverage reduced, or the account breached. The Company determines what counts as a News Event; the rule protects program integrity, not traders who inadvertently trade through news.
Exploiting errors or latency in Liquidity Provider pricing or platforms, non-public or insider information, front-running trades placed elsewhere, trading that jeopardises the Liquidity Provider relationship or creates regulatory issues, third-party or off-the-shelf "pass-the-challenge" strategies, switching strategies between assessment and funded, and arbitraging an assessment account against another account. Automated strategies are allowed, subject to the prohibited-trading policy. Detection can mean termination of your participation and forfeiture of fees paid.
// LOADOUT
Two optional add-ons, available at purchase. Real upgrades to the published rules — not cosmetics.
+25% of plan cost
Optional point-of-sale add-on that protects your eligible profit share in a funded account in the event of a hard breach. It does not prevent the breach or change any risk parameter — it protects your gains from being forfeited.
+25% of plan cost
Optional point-of-sale add-on that disables the post-payout maximum drawdown lock at the account starting balance, which is enabled by default on all plans.
// CLAIM REWARDS
Withdrawals are subject to an 80/20 profit split — 80% of the gains to you, 20% retained by us.
Request your first withdrawal whenever you choose, straight from the trader dashboard. After that, every 30 days.
After you pass, complete KYC and the Trader Agreement and your funded account is typically issued within 24–48 business hours.
Hard-breach a funded account that's in profit and the accumulated gains are forfeited — unless you bought the Payout Protector add-on at purchase, which lets you still receive your portion of those gains.
Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time, subject to the 80/20 profit split; thereafter every 30 days. When a withdrawal is approved we also withdraw our share, and the drawdown does not reset. Example: take an account from $100,000 to $120,000 and request $16,000 — you receive $12,800, we retain $3,200, the balance becomes $104,000, and your Maximum Drawdown locks at the starting balance unless you purchased the Remove Lock Upon Payout add-on. Withdraw all of your profits and you will violate the Maximum Drawdown rule and lose the account. There are no compounding limits: your funded balance can grow without a maximum balance cap.
// PICK YOUR SETUP
You trade on accounts we provide — our risk software syncs with them in real time so the ladder stays fair for every player. Your trader dashboard updates every time we calculate metrics, roughly every 60 seconds — it is your responsibility to monitor your breach levels.
Products are streamed by the Liquidity Provider and may change from time to time. Pricing and commissions match what the Liquidity Provider charges other self-funded retail accounts — same as everyone else in the lobby.
// WHY QUEUE HERE
None of our plans carry a time limit. Take the shot when your setup is there, not when a countdown says so.
Every target, limit, and leverage cap is on this page. The rules you queue with are the rules you're judged by.
Your funded account runs identical rules to your assessment — just without the profit target. No surprise difficulty spike.
Automated strategies are allowed, subject to the prohibited-trading policy. Build your own edge and run it.
We don't control Liquidity Provider pricing or your trade execution. Your fills are your fills.
Run up to $1,000,000 in active evaluation plans and up to $1,000,000 in active funded plans, with no compounding limits and no maximum balance cap.

Soft breach means that we will close all trades that have violated the rule — however, you can continue trading in your Assessment or Funded Account. Hard breach means that you violated either the Daily Loss Limit or the Max Drawdown rule; both constitute a hard breach. In the event of a hard breach, you will fail the Assessment or have your Funded Account taken away. Going 30 consecutive days without any trading activity also breaches the account.
It's the most your account may lose in a single trading day, and it resets at 5:00 PM EST. The limit is based on the greater of the prior day's end-of-day balance (closed P&L only) or end-of-day equity (balance plus open P&L). Example: a $100,000 account with a 5% limit ends the day with open positions in profit and $102,000 equity — the limit is figured from $102,000, so the breach level is $96,900. Finish flat or with open losers, and it's based on the $100,000 balance, for a $95,000 breach level.
The Maximum Drawdown is initially set at 6% and is static (using CLOSED BALANCE), so it remains at the same value for as long as the account remains active. Example: with a $100,000 starting balance you can drawdown to $94,000 before violating the rule. If you take the account to $102,000 in closed balance, your Maximum Drawdown remains locked at $94,000 — regardless of how high the account goes, the drawdown stays the same (note, you can still violate the daily drawdown).
All plans have "Lock Upon Payout" enabled by default; traders can purchase an add-on for 25% of the purchase price to disable it. Example using the default: a trader with a $100,000 account grows the balance to $110,000. When the trader submits a payout request, the maximum drawdown becomes permanently locked at the original starting balance of $100,000. From that point forward, the balance may not fall below $100,000 — if it does, the account is considered breached.
Positions can be held over the weekend, although only crypto allows weekend trading.
Subject to our policy on Prohibited Trading, you can trade using an automated strategy.
Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event is prohibited. If you do, the position may be closed and its P&L removed, your leverage may be reduced, or your account may be breached. The Company has sole discretion over what counts as a News Event — the rule exists to protect program integrity, not to punish traders who inadvertently trade through news.
After you pass, you'll get an email with instructions for KYC verification and your Trader Agreement. Once both are complete with supporting documentation, your funded account is typically created and issued within 24–48 business hours, with a confirmation email when it's being enabled.
You get a Funded Account backed by our capital. The capital is notional — it may not match the amount actually on deposit with the Liquidity Provider — but notional funding does not impact your trading conditions in any way.
Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time, subject to an 80/20 profit split. Thereafter, you can request a withdrawal of the gains in your account every 30 days. When a withdrawal is approved, we will also withdraw our share of the gains, and the drawdown does not reset. Example: you take an account from $100,000 to $120,000 and request a withdrawal of $16,000 — you receive $12,800 and we retain $3,200. That takes the balance down to $104,000, and your Maximum Drawdown will lock at the starting balance of the account unless you have purchased the add-on to disable it. If you withdraw all of your profits you will violate the Maximum Drawdown rule and lose the account.
Yes. If you have a hard breach in your funded account, any accumulated gains in the account will be forfeited unless you have purchased the Payout Protector add-on.
Payout Protector is an optional add-on that enables you to still receive a payout on any gains in your account, despite the fact that you breached your account (provided all other conditions for a withdrawal are met and your account is not otherwise in violation of our Terms and Conditions). Example: you are trading a $100,000 Funded account and have generated $8,000 in gains at the time you breach. Without Payout Protector, the account would be closed and the $8,000 forfeited. With Payout Protector, the account is still closed due to the breach, but you would still receive your portion of the $8,000 gain.
It does not prevent your account from breaching — the account is still considered breached if a rule violation occurs, and Payout Protector does not remove or alter risk parameters. It is entirely optional and must be selected at the time of purchase.
A maximum of $1 million in active evaluation plans per person is permitted, which may be composed of multiple assessments across any plan type, and a maximum of $1 million in active funded plans per person. If activating an additional assessment or funded account would cause you to exceed the applicable $1 million active account limit, you must wait until an existing active account is breached, closed, or otherwise no longer active before the additional account can be activated. There are no limits on compounding — you may start with up to $1 million in initial active funding and grow the balance without a maximum balance cap.
We offer up to 50:1 leverage on Forex and Metals, up to 10:1 leverage on Indices, up to 5:1 leverage on Oil and up to 2:1 leverage on Cryptocurrencies.
Pick your account size, learn the rulebook, and trade the One Step assessment on your own schedule. No time limits. Withdrawals are subject to an 80/20 profit split in your favour.
