Profit targets are structured to be clear, achievable, and aligned with disciplined trading practices. The required profit target depends on whether a trader chooses a one-step evaluation account or a two-step evaluation account. Each option is designed to suit different trading styles while maintaining consistent risk management standards.
One-Step Evaluation Accounts
The one-step account is the more direct path to funding. Traders are required to achieve a single profit target of 10% while following all trading rules, including daily loss limits and maximum drawdown. Once the 10% profit target is reached without violating any rules, the trader becomes eligible for a funded account. This option is ideal for experienced traders who prefer a straightforward evaluation process.
Two-Step Evaluation Accounts
The two-step account is designed for traders who prefer a more gradual evaluation process. Instead of one larger target, the challenge is divided into two phases:
Step 1: Reach an 8% profit target
Step 2: Reach a 5% profit target
Each step must be completed independently while respecting the same risk management rules. Only after successfully passing both steps does the trader qualify for a funded account. This structure allows traders to demonstrate consistency over multiple phases, which can help reduce pressure and encourage disciplined execution.
