One-Step Challenge
Definition
An evaluation with a single phase — pass one profit target to get funded.
How It Works
One-step (or single-phase) challenges require traders to hit one profit target while respecting drawdown limits. Compared to two-step challenges, they're faster to complete but often have higher profit targets (e.g., 10% vs 8%) or stricter rules.
One-step programs are popular with experienced traders who want to get funded quickly. The trade-off is usually a slightly higher entry fee or lower profit split compared to the two-step equivalent at the same firm.
