The 2 Step includes one free retake if you fail it by breaching a hard rule. The retake is not the same account: the daily loss limit drops to 3%, the non-trailing drawdown to 4%, and the virtual profit share to 60%. Instant and 1 Step do not include a retake.

Percentages are what the industry publishes. These are the same rules in dollars, worked on a $100,000 simulated account, so there is nothing left to convert. - **Included on**: 2 Step only - **Retake daily loss limit 3% of $100,000**: $3,000 Down from $5,000. - **Retake max drawdown 4% of $100,000**: $4,000 Down from $8,000. Floor at $96,000, still non-trailing. - **Retake virtual profit share**: 60% Down from 80%. - **Retakes included**: One After that, a new account is a new purchase. - **Every other 2 Step rule**: Unchanged 3 minimum days, 35% consistency, same targets. Plan applicability ## Which programmes this rule applies to Our three programmes do not share one rulebook. This table is the part of the page to read before you buy. - **Instant Does not apply**: No retake A breach ends the account. A new one is a new purchase. - **1 Step Does not apply**: No retake The 1 Step does not include a free retake. - **2 Step Applies**: One free retake Granted after a hard breach, on tighter limits: 3% daily, 4% drawdown, 60% share. Why it exists ## The reasoning, stated plainly One bad session is not always a verdict on a strategy, and a second attempt at no extra cost is a reasonable thing to include in the cheapest programme. The tighter terms are the other half of that: the retake carries more risk for the firm, so it runs with less room and a lower share. Stating both halves is the point of this page. Worked example ## The same rule, as a number A $100,000 simulated account, because that is the size most people are deciding about. ### A retake on a $100,000 2 Step Same target, less room. - **First attempt daily limit**: $5,000 - **Retake daily limit**: $3,000 $2,000 less. - **First attempt floor**: $92,000 - **Retake floor**: $96,000 Half the room. - **Phase 1 target**: $8,000 Unchanged. The retake asks for the same $8,000 with $4,000 less drawdown to work with. It is worth having, and it is worth not relying on. Commonly misread ## What traders get wrong here Every item below has cost somebody an account. They are published for that reason rather than for completeness. “The first attempt is free” It is not. The retake is free after a failed paid attempt. That is the whole of the claim. “The retake is the same account again”: It runs on tighter limits and leads to a 60% share rather than 80%. “Every programme includes one”: Only the 2 Step does. Instant and 1 Step do not.
