How it works

Four stages stand between checkout and your first reward.

Step by step

From checkout to your first reward

Step 1Choose

Pick a challenge

1 Step has a single target. 2 Step adds a second, smaller one and gives you a wider maximum loss in exchange.

Then choose Standard or Pro and an account size between $10,000 and $200,000. The target, the loss limits and the fee for that exact combination are shown together before you pay, and your plan’s rules are frozen the moment you buy.

Step 2Trade

Trade the simulation

Your account is a virtual balance priced from live market data, so charts and spreads move with the real market. Orders stay inside our simulation and your own money is never in a trade.

You trade in our browser terminal with the login you signed up with: forex, shares, commodities and crypto, with crypto open on weekends too. There is no deadline.

Step 3Pass

Reach the target inside the limits

You pass when your equity reaches the profit target, you have traded on the minimum number of days, and no limit was broken. At that moment we close your open positions and the phase is complete.

Breaking a limit ends the attempt, whatever the balance shows.

Step 4Reward

Request your reward

Once you pass, your account moves to the master stage. Seven days later you can request your first reward: 90% of realised profit, once your ID is verified and the amount reaches $100. Requests are processed every Friday.

The participation agreement sets out every condition. If anything is unclear, ask us before you pay.

What is measured

The numbers on your card

Your figures are on the challenge card. Here’s how we measure them.

Profit targetOn equity

Counted on equity

Open profit counts toward the target. When you reach it, we close your positions and the phase completes. On 2 Step each phase has its own target.

Maximum lossEvery price update

Fixed to your starting balance

It doesn’t rise as you make profit. Touching it ends the attempt.

Daily loss00:00 UTC

Measured from the day’s opening equity

It resets at midnight UTC and unused room doesn’t carry over. Open trades count.

News windowMaster stage

A few minutes around big releases

It applies only to master-stage accounts whose plan includes it. From 3 minutes before a high-impact release to 3 minutes after, you can’t open or close positions in the affected instruments (a US release covers all of them), and stop-loss and take-profit wait until the window ends. A margin stop-out still works.
