Steps to pass The Trading Pit

  1. Know the exact targets. Hit a 8% – 10% profit target while keeping total losses under 7% (Trailing on Highest Equity) and any single day under 4%.

  3. Clear the 1-phase evaluation steadily. Reach the 8% – 10% target over multiple sessions rather than one big trade.
  4. Follow The Trading Pit's rules. 1-Phase: 10% target, 4% daily DD, 7% trailing DD 2-Phase available for steadier progress
