Objectives
Minimum trading days

- 3 days per phase, or none with the add-on
- Direct
- 3 days per phase, or none with the add-on
Time limit
How long you have to reach the objective.
- Classic

Loss limits
Daily loss limit
The most the account may fall in a single trading day. Measured on equity, so open positions count, not only closed ones.
- Classic
- 5% of each day's starting equity ($1,250 on the first day)
- Direct
- 4% of each day's starting equity ($1,000 on the first day)
Reaching it fails the challenge. It takes effect at once: no grace period and no partial reset.
Maximum loss
The floor for the account as a whole, also measured on equity. It is set once from your starting balance and never moves.
- Classic
- 10% fixed ($2,500)
- Direct
- 6% fixed ($1,500)
Reaching it fails the challenge.
Reward
Reward split
Your share of eligible simulated performance at the reward stage.
- Classic
- 80%, or 90% with the add-on
- Direct
- 80%, or 90% with the add-on
