# 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.

Also called: Re-attempt · Second attempt

GFN’s figure

GFN includes one free retake on the 2 Step only. It runs tighter than a first attempt: a 3% daily loss limit, a 4% non-trailing maximum drawdown and a 60% virtual profit share on the funded account it leads to.

- **2 Step Retake**: One, included at no cost
- **2 Step Retake daily loss limit**: 3%, down from 5%
- **Instant and 1 Step Retake**: None included

In detail

## Retake, explained

Two things to check on any retake: whether it costs anything, and whether the rules are the same. A retake at tighter limits is a genuinely different product from the one originally bought, and it is usually the firm's way of pricing the second helping of risk.

A retake also resets nothing psychologically. The most common reason a second attempt fails is that it is traded as a recovery of the first rather than as a fresh account.

## 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.

- [Free retake](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/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.
- [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.
- [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.
- [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.
- [Evaluation fee](https://getfundednow.com/glossary/evaluation-fee) - The one-time price of an assessment. It is what the trader is genuinely risking - no customer capital is exposed on a simulated account - and it is the number to compare between firms per dollar of allocation.
