# Profit target

The virtual gain required to pass an evaluation phase, stated as a percentage of the starting balance. It is the only objective you have to reach; every other rule is something you have to avoid.

Also called: Virtual profit target · Evaluation target

GFN’s figure

GFN's virtual profit targets: none on Instant, 10% on the 1 Step, and 8% then 5% on the 2 Step. No programme has a deadline attached.

- **Instant Target**: None
- **1 Step Target**: 10% - $10,000 on $100,000
- **2 Step Targets**: $8,000 then $5,000 on $100,000

In detail

## Profit target, explained

A target on its own says nothing about difficulty. Read it against the drawdown: 10% against 8% of room is a materially different task from 10% against 4%, and the second one is the version most of the industry sells.

There is no reward for beating a target, so a target reached is a reason to stop trading that phase rather than to press on.

## 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.

- [Evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/evaluation) - The assessment stage of a prop programme, traded on a simulated account. Profits made during an evaluation are simulated results used to decide whether you pass; they are not withdrawable.
- [Phase one](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/phase-one) - The first stage of a two-step evaluation, carrying the higher of the two profit targets. Clearing it without breaching a risk rule moves the account to phase two rather than to a funded account.
- [Phase two](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/phase-two) - The second stage of a two-step evaluation, usually at a lower profit target than the first. It exists to check the result repeats, and it is where a large share of otherwise successful attempts fail.
- [Time limit](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/time-limit) - A deadline by which an evaluation must be completed. Where one exists it changes the strategy entirely, because it converts a test of process into a test of process under a clock.
- [One-step evaluation](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/one-step-evaluation) - An assessment with a single profit target. Clear it without breaching and you go straight to a simulated funded account - there is no second verification phase to trade afterwards.
