Designed for traders who want quicker access to capital, 1 Step offers a one-stage challenge, lower profit target, and more rewards along the way.
The 1-Step Challenge is designed for traders looking for a simplified path to funding — with just one phase, clear risk rules, no minimum trading days, and no daily drawdown limit. Once the profit target is met and all trading rules are followed, traders can progress directly to a funded account with access to up to 100% of the rewards.
With our flexible 50/50 payment model, traders pay just 50% of the challenge fee upfront and the remaining 50% only after successfully passing the challenge.
This model is best suited for confident traders who prefer a faster route to funding, greater flexibility, and full transparency from start to finish.

Account Breaches
Your account will be closed immediately if you exceed the 6% maximum overall loss limit.
There is no daily drawdown limit and no minimum trading-day requirement.
If your challenge is breached, you may purchase a new challenge or use the available discounted reset option, subject to the applicable terms.
Maximum Overall Loss — 6% Trailing
The 1-Step Challenge uses a 6% trailing maximum drawdown. The drawdown threshold follows your highest account balance or equity, according to the firm's drawdown calculation rules, until the threshold reaches your initial starting balance. It then locks at that level permanently.
Example: $100,000 Account
Starting balance: $100,000
Maximum overall loss: 6%
Initial drawdown threshold: $94,000
If your account equity falls to $94,000, your account breaches the maximum overall loss limit.
As your account grows, the drawdown threshold rises:
Highest Account Balance | Drawdown Threshold |
$100,000 | $94,000 |
$101,000 | $95,000 |
$103,000 | $97,000 |
$105,000 | $99,000 |
$106,000 | $100,000 — Locked |
Once your account reaches $106,000, the trailing threshold reaches your initial balance of $100,000 and stops trailing permanently.
After the threshold locks, it remains at $100,000 even if your account grows further.
For example:
Account grows to $110,000 → Threshold remains $100,000.
Account grows to $120,000 → Threshold remains $100,000.
After a Payout
If your trailing drawdown has already locked at your initial balance, requesting a payout does not lower the threshold.
For example:
Highest balance reached: $110,000.
Locked drawdown threshold: $100,000.
Withdrawal: $5,000.
Remaining account balance: $105,000.
Your drawdown threshold remains $100,000, leaving a $5,000 buffer before reaching the maximum overall loss limit.
