Home / How it works

Four steps, no hidden ones

You pick a route, you trade a simulated account, you meet objectives that were published before you paid, and you request your reward. That is the whole path.

01 The path

From choosing a route to requesting a reward

Step 1Choose

Pick your route

Two routes exist because traders arrive at different points. 1 Step asks you to prove yourself once. 2 Step splits the same proof over two phases with a lower target in each.

On top of the route you choose a rule profile — Standard or Pro — which shifts the limits and the fee together. Six account sizes run from $5,000 to $200,000. Every combination shows its target, its maximum loss, its daily drawdown and its fee on one screen before you commit.

Step 2Trade

Trade the simulation

Your account is a virtual balance in a simulated environment. Prices come from live market data, so the chart moves the way the market moves and spreads behave the way spreads behave. What does not happen is your order reaching a real venue. No capital of yours is placed at risk at any point on this site.

You trade on our own terminal, in the browser, on the same account you signed up with. Forex, metals, indices, crypto and energies are available. There is no time limit on any route — the assessment ends when you meet the objectives or breach a limit, not when a clock runs out.

Step 3Measure

Meet the objectives

Two things are measured: whether you reach the profit target, and whether you stayed inside the published limits while doing it.

A single lucky run that breaks a limit does not pass. That is deliberate — the assessment is about whether you can work inside a risk framework, not whether you can be right once.

Step 4Request

Request your reward

When you complete an assessment you become eligible to request a reward under the terms of your agreement. The amount, the schedule and the conditions are set out there — not invented at the moment you ask.

We publish what is measurable and we keep the terms in the agreement where they belong. If something about the process is unclear before you pay, ask us first.

Ask before you start

02 What is measured

Four numbers, all published in advance

The exact figures for your route and profile are on the challenge card. This is what each one means.

Profit targetClosed results

Set per route and profile

Shown on the challenge card before payment. On a 2 Step route it is split across the two phases.

Maximum lossPer tick

Measured against your starting balance

It does not move up as you profit. Reaching it ends the assessment.

Daily drawdown00:00 UTC

Measured from the day's opening equity

It resets each server day and unused room does not carry over. Floating losses count.

News windowMaster stage only

A short restricted period around high-impact releases

It does not apply while you are being assessed — only on the master-stage account, and only where the plan sets it. Where it applies, new positions are blocked for that window; positions already open can be managed and closed as normal.
