1-Step Evaluation
One phase, one target. The fastest route to funding.

Maximum daily loss — 3%
A fixed amount equal to 3% of the starting balance. Your equity, including open trades, commissions and swaps, may not fall more than this amount below your balance at the start of the day. The day resets at 00:00 GMT.
| Account | $5,000 | $10,000 | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily loss | $150 | $300 | $750 | $1,500 | $3,000 |
Maximum loss — 5% static
Your equity must always stay above the starting balance minus 5%. The floor is static: it never moves, so every dollar of profit gives you more room.
| Account | $5,000 | $10,000 | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max loss | $250 | $500 | $1,250 | $2,500 | $5,000 |
