Quick answer
Basic 2-Step costs $19. Step 1: +10%; Step 2: +6%. Daily drawdown is 4% and max drawdown is 8%.
- Fee: $19
- Evaluation account: $1,500
- Step 1 target: +10%
- Step 2 target: +6%

- After funding, you can risk maximum 2% of your funding balance at a time in trades — e.g. $1,500 × 2% = $30. (No % cap during Step 1 / Step 2 evaluation.)

Worked example — Basic 2-Step numbers
Fee paid: $19 Step 1 starts at $1,500 → target $1,650 Step 2 resets to $1,500 → target $1,590 Daily drawdown at start: $60 Max drawdown floor: $1,380 After Step 2: $1,500 funded account is issued
Edge cases
- When can this account request a payout?
Only after the evaluation is passed and the issued account is in FUNDED status. Evaluation profits are not withdrawable.
- What counts as a qualifying trade?
A trade at least 0.5% of the phase or funded account starting balance. Smaller trades can be placed, but they do not count toward the 20-trade qualifier.
- Does the 2% risk limit apply during evaluation?
No. After funding, you can risk maximum 2% of your funding balance at a time in trades. During Step 1 or Step 2 there is no % cap; drawdown, daily loss and open-trades limits still apply.
