Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3-step prop firm challenge?
A 3-step challenge has three evaluation phases, each with its own profit target, all under the firm drawdown rules. It is less common than one- or two-step formats and rewards traders who can stay consistent over a longer runway.
Why do some firms use a 3-step challenge?
A third phase lets a firm test consistency more thoroughly and often lets it lower each phase target or the upfront fee. Check the exact per-phase targets and pricing for each firm in the table above.
