Challenge Terms
Last updated November 2, 2026
These terms apply to the Two-Step Challenge and One-Step Challenge. Purchasing a Challenge binds you to these terms and to the Terms & Conditions.
01Nature of the service
A Challenge is a simulated evaluation of your trading skill, discipline and risk management using virtual funds. No real capital is provided and no real positions are opened.
During the Challenge you are not a funded trader and have no right to payouts. Participation is not employment and passing does not automatically guarantee a funded account.
02Fees
A one-time, non-refundable fee is paid at purchase and covers every step of the Challenge. There is no activation fee.
Two-Step Challenge — account size / fee: $5,000: $44 · $10,000: $75 · $25,000: $150 · $50,000: $250 · $100,000: $500.
One-Step Challenge — account size / fee: $5,000: $58 · $10,000: $99 · $25,000: $180 · $50,000: $320 · $100,000: $550.

06KYC and progression
KYC is not required during the Challenge but must be passed before funded access. Funded access also requires meeting all parameters and passing our internal review; it remains at our discretion.
07Resets, company rights and liability
Resets, where offered, are announced on the website and may carry a fee. We may monitor all activity and modify, suspend or close accounts for suspected violations. Rule changes apply to future purchases.
We are not liable for losses, technical failures or service interruptions. If you dispute a result, support will review the account data.
