Futures launch on 12 November 2026. Pricing and rules are published now so you can plan; checkout opens on launch day. Buy any forex challenge before 12 November 2026 and we'll give you a free 1 Step futures evaluation of the same account size on launch day. $5K and $10K challenges receive a $25K futures account; $200K challenges receive $150K. Two. 1 Step: pass a single evaluation with a 6% profit target and a 3% end-of-day trailing drawdown, then trade funded. Instant: no evaluation, a funded account from day one with a 3% intraday trailing drawdown. No. Neither plan has a daily loss limit. The only loss rule is the 3% trailing maximum drawdown. End-of-day trailing (1 Step) recalculates your drawdown floor once, from your balance at the close. Intraday trailing (Instant) moves the floor up in real time with your highest balance, including unrealised profit. End-of-day is more forgiving of a trade that runs into profit and comes back. It limits how much of your profit can come from a single day. In the 1 Step evaluation no single day may be more than 50% of your total profit. Funded 1 Step accounts use 40%, and Instant accounts use 20%. During the 1 Step evaluation, yes. Funded accounts - 1 Step funded and Instant - may not hold positions through major scheduled news releases. It scales with the account: 2 on 25K, 4 on 50K, 5 on 75K, 6 on 100K, 9 on 150K. The same limit applies in the evaluation and on funded accounts. 100% of virtual profit, paid weekly, on both plans. Instant accounts bank 6% virtual profit before the first withdrawal.
