Challenge Rules & Objectives – Flex Challenge

The Flex Challenge consists of two evaluation phases followed by a funded account. The rules below apply to accounts opened from 24 August 2026.

1. Profit Targets

To advance through each phase:

  • Phase 1: 10% profit target.

  • Phase 2: 5% profit target.

  • There is no profit target on the funded account.

2. Challenge Duration

  • Each evaluation phase runs to a 30-day timeframe.

  • If the profit target is not reached within 30 days, the phase is failed.

  • A reset can be purchased to restart a failed phase. See Challenge Reset.

  • There is no time limit on the funded account.

3. Minimum Profitable Days

  • Each phase requires 5 profitable days.

  • A day counts as profitable only if it closes with a gain of at least 0.5% of the initial balance.

  • A day that gains less than 0.5% does not count towards the requirement, and does not count against you.

Example (on a $100,000 account): a day closing +$400 does not count, because 0.5% of $100,000 is $500. A day closing +$650 counts as one of your 5 profitable days.

4. Daily Drawdown

  • There is no daily drawdown during Phase 1 or Phase 2.

  • On the funded account, a daily drawdown of 2.5% of the initial balance applies.

  • The funded daily drawdown resets at 5 PM EST.

5. Maximum Overall Drawdown

  • Set at 5% of your initial balance, on every phase including funded.

  • This limit is static. It is fixed against the initial balance and does not trail your profits.

  • Breaching it fails the account.

Example: on a $100,000 account the maximum drawdown is $5,000, so your equity may never fall below $95,000. This floor stays at $95,000 whether your balance is $100,000 or $118,000.

6. Maximum Risk (Funded Accounts)

  • On a funded account, your combined floating loss may not exceed 0.5% of the initial balance at any one time.

  • Floating loss is the unrealised loss on your open positions. It is measured live, not at the close of a trade.

  • The limit applies to your open positions combined, so floating profit on one position offsets floating loss on another.

  • This rule applies only once funded. It does not apply during Phase 1 or Phase 2.

Example (on a $100,000 funded account): your floating loss limit is 0.5% = $500.

  • One position at -$420 unrealised: within the limit.

  • Two positions at -$300 and -$250: combined -$550, which breaches the limit.

  • Two positions at -$300 and +$200: combined -$100, which is within the limit.

In practice this means positions must be managed so that an open drawdown never reaches 0.5% of the initial balance. Because floating loss is capped this tightly, the 2.5% daily drawdown and the 5% static maximum are reached through accumulated realised losses across several trades rather than through one open position.

7. Consistency Rule (Funded Accounts)

  • A 20% consistency requirement applies on the funded account.

  • Your highest single trading day may not exceed 20% of your total profit when you request a payout.

  • Exceeding it does not fail the account. You continue trading until the distribution rebalances.

8. Payouts

  • Payouts are processed on a biweekly cycle, every two weeks.

  • Minimum payout: 2% of the initial balance.

  • Maximum payout: 5% of the initial balance per cycle.

  • Profit split: 80% to the trader.
