How it works
1. Pick your account size and start trading. There is no time limit. Your subscription renews every 30 days until you pass or cancel.
2. Hit your profit target (6% of account size) while staying within the drawdown and consistency rules.
3. Get funded with zero activation fee. Your simulated funded account is set up and you can start trading for rewards immediately.
Maximum Drawdown
The drawdown is calculated at end of day (EOD), not intra-day. It trails upward as your account grows but stops trailing once it reaches your initial starting balance. This means once you have built enough profit, your downside is permanently capped at your starting balance.
Daily Pause
During the Challenge phase, there is no Daily Pause on Beginner accounts. On your Funded Account, a 2% Daily Pause applies. If you hit it, trading is paused for the rest of the day. It does not fail your account.
Consistency Rule
No single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total profit during the Challenge. On the Funded Account this relaxes to 50%.
Reward Rules
Parameter | Value |
Reward Share | 80% flat (from your first reward onward) |
Minimum Reward Request | 0.5% of account size ($250 on $50K, $500 on $100K, $750 on $150K) |
Maximum Reward Request | 2% of account size ($1,000 on $50K, $2,000 on $100K, $3,000 on $150K) |
Requirements | 5 profitable trading days with $100+ profit each |
Drawdown Lock | After your 1st reward, max drawdown locks at starting balance |
Scaling Plan
On the Funded Account, your contract limits start lower and increase as you earn profit:
Profit Earned | $50K | $100K | $150K |
$0 to $2,500 | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 |
Above $2,500 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 |
Above $5,000 | 5 / 50 | 7 / 70 | 9 / 90 |
Who is the Beginner Challenge for?
Traders who want the lowest barrier to entry: no activation fee, a straightforward flat reward share, and no Daily Pause during the evaluation. If you prefer simplicity over a scaling reward percentage, this is your path.
