2-Step – Classic

Overview

The 2-Step Evaluation (Classic) is a two-phase evaluation program designed to test traders progressively.

  • Step 1: Achieve an 8% profit target
  • Step 2: Achieve a 5% profit target

There are no maximum trading days, but minimum 5 trading days per step apply. This evaluation allows traders to gradually demonstrate consistency and risk management.

Frequently Asked Questions
