Profit Target
To complete each phase, you need to reach the required profit target while staying within all defined risk limits. Profit is calculated from closed positions only. All positions must be closed before the target can be reviewed.
- Phase 1 target: $8,000 — balance must reach $108,000
- Phase 2 target: $6,000 — balance must reach $106,000
- Profit is measured from closed positions only
- All open positions must be closed before review

Maximum Daily Loss
Your daily loss must not exceed 5% of the initial balance. This rule protects discipline and prevents unstable risk behavior within a single trading day. Equity — including open positions, commissions, and swaps — must never fall below the allowed daily loss limit. The limit resets at midnight CE(S)T each day based on the account balance at that time.
- Day 1: Starting balance $100,000 → Limit = $95,000
- Day 2: Balance at midnight = $102,000 → Limit = $97,000
- Day 3: Balance at midnight = $101,000 → Limit = $96,000
- The limit can increase and decrease with your balance
- Includes open P&L, commissions, and swaps
The daily limit resets at midnight CE(S)T. If your equity drops below the limit at any point during the day, the rule is breached.

Maximum Overall Loss
Your total account loss must not exceed 10% of the initial balance. If this limit is breached at any point, the evaluation is no longer considered valid. This is an absolute account protection rule. The equity — including open positions — must never drop below this threshold.
- Initial balance: $100,000
- Maximum Overall Loss: $10,000
- Equity floor: $90,000 — your equity can never drop below this
- This includes unrealized P&L from open positions

Minimum Trading Days
Each phase requires at least 3 trading days. A trading day counts when at least one position is opened or closed. This ensures your results come from consistent activity rather than reliance on a single-day outcome. Trading days do not need to be consecutive.
- Trade on at least 3 separate days in Phase 1
- Trade on at least 3 separate days in Phase 2
- A trading day = at least one position opened or closed
- Days do not need to be consecutive
