## Explained in full

- [Profit Target Rules](https://getfundednow.com/rules/profit-target) - The rule, explained - Instant has no profit target. The 1 Step asks 10% and the 2 Step 8% then 5% - $8,000 then $5,000 on a $100,000 account.
- [No Time Limit Rule](https://getfundednow.com/rules/no-time-limit) - The rule, explained - No GFN programme has a time limit. Instant, 1 Step and 2 Step all run without a deadline, and an evaluation can be completed in one day or over months.

- [Is the profit target based on balance or equity?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/profit-target-balance-or-equity) - Use the metrics displayed in your GFN dashboard for the relevant objective - open positions affect equity and risk limits before they are closed.
- [Do I need to close my trades before an Evaluation can be marked as passed?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/do-i-need-to-close-trades-to-pass) - Your account must satisfy the conditions required for completion - and open positions affect equity, so a balance that briefly crosses the target is not a pass.
