'Funded' means a simulated or virtual account; GFN is not a broker and does not hold client funds." --- Evaluation rules # No time limit, on any programme. None of the three programmes has a deadline. There is no 30-day window and no expiry on an evaluation. The trade-off is that the risk limits apply for as long as the account is open, so a slow pace does not soften the daily loss limit or the maximum drawdown. Inactivity rules still apply.

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. - **Instant time limit**: None - **1 Step time limit**: None - **2 Step time limit**: None - **Minimum trading days**: 3 on 2 Step only A minimum number of days is not a deadline - it is a floor, not a ceiling. - **Inactivity**: Still applies An account left dormant can be closed under the inactivity policy. No deadline is not the same as no obligation to trade at all. 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 time limit There is no evaluation to finish, so there is nothing to finish it by. - **1 Step Does not apply**: No time limit The 10% target has no deadline. It can be completed in one day if every rule is followed. - **2 Step Does not apply**: No time limit Neither phase expires, though the 3-day minimum means the 2 Step cannot be finished in a single session. Why it exists ## The reasoning, stated plainly A deadline changes how people trade, and rarely for the better - it pushes size up in the last week of a window. Removing it is not generosity; it simply moves the constraint to where it belongs, which is the risk limits. Those do not relax with time. Worked example ## The same rule, as a number A $100,000 simulated account, because that is the size most people are deciding about. ### Two traders, same programme Both buy a $100,000 1 Step with a $10,000 target. - **Trader A**: 9 days Two good weeks, target cleared. - **Trader B**: 7 months Trades a few sessions a month around a job. - **Rules applied**: Identical 5% daily loss limit and 8% maximum drawdown throughout, for both. Neither pays anything further and neither is penalised for pace. Trader B's only additional consideration is the inactivity policy, which asks for occasional activity rather than a schedule. 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. “No time limit means I never have to trade” An account with no activity at all can be closed under the inactivity policy. The absence of a deadline is not an absence of a relationship. “It means the account never expires” A breach ends it at any point, at any pace. Time is not the constraint; the risk limits are.
