  • Max drawdown: 8%
  • Daily loss limit: 3%
  • Evaluation: 2-phase

Steps to pass The Funded Trader

  1. Know the exact targets. Hit a 10% (1-Step) / 8%+5% (2-Step) profit target while keeping total losses under 8% and any single day under 3%.
  2. Risk small per trade. Size every position so a bad day can't breach the 3% daily limit — most passers risk well under 1% per trade.
  3. Clear the 2-phase evaluation steadily. Reach the 10% (1-Step) / 8%+5% (2-Step) target over multiple sessions rather than one big trade.
  4. Follow The Funded Trader's rules. 1-Step: 10% profit target, 8% max DD, 3% daily DD 2-Step: 8%/5% targets
  5. Track and review every trade. Use a trade journal and a drawdown calculator to stay inside the limits.
