Evaluations and accounts

# Free retake

A second attempt at an evaluation included in the original fee, granted after a hard breach. It is not a free first attempt - the evaluation was paid for - and its rules are often tighter than the original.

GFN’s figure

The GFN 2 Step includes one free retake after a hard breach. The retake runs at a 3% daily loss limit (down from 5%), a 4% non-trailing drawdown (down from 8%) and a 60% virtual profit share (down from 80%).

- **2 Step Cost**: Included - no second purchase
- **2 Step Daily loss limit**: 3%
- **2 Step Max drawdown**: 4%, non-trailing
- **2 Step Virtual profit share**: 60%

Every other 2 Step rule still applies to the retake. The Instant and 1 Step programmes do not include one.

In detail

## Free retake, explained

A free retake changes the arithmetic of a cheap evaluation, because the effective cost per attempt halves. It is worth reading as part of the price rather than as a bonus.

It is also worth reading the terms closely. A retake at a narrower daily loss limit and a lower profit share is a meaningfully harder account, and a strategy sized for the first attempt may not fit inside the second.

## Terms that come with it

Most rules only make sense next to the ones they interact with. These are the entries this one depends on.

- [Retake](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/retake) - A second run at an evaluation after a failed one. Some firms include a retake in the original fee; others sell it, and the terms of the second attempt are not always the terms of the first.
- [Two-step evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/two-step-evaluation) - An assessment split into two phases with separate profit targets. The first phase proves the strategy, the second - usually at a lower target - checks it repeats before the firm issues a simulated funded account.
- [Hard breach](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/hard-breach) - A violation serious enough to fail or terminate the account immediately. Exceeding the daily loss limit or the maximum drawdown is the usual cause, and a later recovery in the market does not reverse it.
- [Account reset](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/account-reset) - Paying to return a failed or drawn-down evaluation to its starting balance rather than buying a new account. It is a recurring revenue line at firms that sell it, and a real cost to track.
- [Virtual profit share](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/virtual-profit-share) - The compliant name for a prop firm's profit split: the share of virtual profits generated on a simulated funded account that is paid to the trader. The profits are simulated; the payout is real money.
