1 Phase Challenge.

1-Step Prime Challenge.

On request from the dashboard, after several profitable periods on a funded account. Decided case by case based on consistency and rule compliance, at no cost.

Four-month cycles from the first trade: at least 10% net profit, two profitable months, two payouts and a positive balance. Manual request required. Increases based on the original balance: 25% first, 40% second and 50% from the third, up to USD 4 million per user. Loss limits are recalculated on the scaled balance. Unavailable during PCP.

2 Phase Challenge.

Available as 2-Step Pro Challenge, 2-Step Prime Challenge and 2-Step Fly.

Static, measured on the initial capital. Breaching it suspends the account.

Pro and Prime: static floor based on the initial balance, also monitored against floating equity. Direct: trails the highest end-of-day balance, only moves upward and locks at the starting balance after the full drawdown distance is earned. A payout does not lower that floor. 2-Step Fly: static in evaluation. In sim funded, accounts bought from 4 November 2026 (8:00 AM EST) use intraday trailing; earlier accounts trail the highest end-of-day balance. Both lock at 3% below the initial balance.

Rises with each payout. Challenges: 70%, 75%, 80%, 85% and 90% from the fifth. Instant funding: 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70% and 90% from the sixth.

The table shows the base biweekly 80% option. Pro and Prime also offer on-demand 80% and monthly 95% with an advertised 20% surcharge; Direct offers a separately priced biweekly 90% variant. The cycle is selected at purchase and cannot be changed later.

Free Trial 10K, no card needed: 8% target, 5% daily and 10% total loss, no mandatory stop loss. One per email every 30 days; after passing, the account stays open for 24 hours and pays nothing.

A hard breach forfeits profits and pending payouts. Forex daily-loss-only exception: profits may still be paid if every trade had a stop loss and no trade exceeded 1% of the initial balance in profit or loss.

Measured on the initial capital, including floating losses; per its forum it resets at midnight UTC. Breaching it suspends the account.

Calculated from the previous day closing balance and includes realized and floating results. Resets at 17:00 EST as stated by Hola Prime. Breaching it is a hard breach. 2-Step Fly: evaluation only; no daily limit in sim funded.

Funded account: 7 of the 14 minimum days. In evaluation, the FAQ and its comparisons ask for 2 profitable days; the rules page says 2 trading days.

Pro and Prime: three profitable days per biweekly cycle or seven per monthly cycle. Each day requires at least 0.5% net of the initial balance, measured using the lower of closing balance and equity minus the previous closing balance.
