Challenge Rules
Account Currency
Every challenge is a USC (US Cent) account — the account is denominated in cents, so a "10,000" USC account represents $100 of real value. This lets you trade with finer position sizing while the rules below apply identically, as percentages of your starting balance.
2-Step Challenge
Phase 1
- Profit target: 10% of starting balance
- Maximum daily loss: 5%

- Minimum trading days: 4
Phase 2 (Verification)
- Profit target: 5% of starting balance

Pass both phases and your live funded account is issued after KYC verification.

Definitions
Maximum daily loss — the most your balance can drop within a single trading day (00:00–23:59 server time), measured from the previous day's closing balance. Breaching this fails the challenge immediately.
Maximum overall drawdown — the most your balance can fall from its highest-ever point since the challenge began.
Trailing drawdown (Flash only) — the drawdown limit moves up as your balance grows, always measured from your highest balance reached so far.
Minimum trading days — a day counts if you open at least one trade that day. You must meet this minimum before a profit target can be counted as passed.
General Conduct
- One live account per client — duplicates will be revoked.
- Prohibited strategies (e.g. latency exploitation, coordinated multi-account trading) result in disqualification without refund.
- KYC verification is required after passing, before a live account is issued.
- Challenge fees are non-refundable once trading has begun.
