'Funded' means a simulated or virtual account; GFN is not a broker and does not hold client funds." --- Evaluation rules # The profit targets, in dollars. Instant has no profit target: the account is funded from day one. The 1 Step asks for 10%, which is $10,000 on a $100,000 simulated account. The 2 Step asks 8% then 5%, so $8,000 then $5,000, and phase 1 profit does not carry into phase 2.

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 target**: None There is nothing to clear before the account pays. - **1 Step target 10% of $100,000**: $10,000 - **2 Step phase 1 8% of $100,000**: $8,000 - **2 Step phase 2 5% of $100,000**: $5,000 Starts from the phase 2 balance. Phase 1 profit does not carry over. - **2 Step total to clear**: $13,000 Against the 3-day minimum and the 35% consistency rule. - **Measured on**: The dashboard figure Open positions and closing trades are handled as the dashboard shows. Check it rather than your own arithmetic. 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 target Funded from purchase, with a tighter daily loss limit as the trade. - **1 Step Applies**: 10% ($10,000) One phase, no deadline, no minimum days and no consistency rule against a 8% drawdown. - **2 Step Applies**: 8% then 5% $8,000 then $5,000 on a $100,000 account, with 3 minimum trading days and the 35% rule applying to both. Why it exists ## The reasoning, stated plainly A target is the evidence the programme is buying. The reason to publish all three side by side in dollars is that the comparison is not obvious as percentages: the 2 Step's two phases total more than the 1 Step's single target, and the 2 Step is also the cheapest of the three. That is a real trade, not a bargain. Worked example ## The same rule, as a number A $100,000 simulated account, because that is the size most people are deciding about. ### The three routes on a $100,000 account Same simulated capital, three different things to clear. - **Instant**: Nothing to clear 70% share, $2,000 withdrawable per cycle. - **1 Step**: $10,000 One phase, against $8,000 of drawdown. - **2 Step phase 1**: $8,000 Against $8,000 of fixed drawdown. - **2 Step phase 2**: $5,000 A fresh start; phase 1 profit does not carry. The 1 Step asks for the largest single number and the fewest conditions. The 2 Step asks for more in total and costs the least to attempt. Which is better depends on the strategy, not on the headline percentage. 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. “Phase 1 profit counts toward phase 2” It does not. Phase 2 begins with its own objective from its own starting balance. “Hitting the target mid-trade completes the phase” The dashboard's treatment of open positions is the official one. Check it before assuming a phase is closed. “Passing is about the target alone” On the 2 Step, the 3-day minimum and the 35% consistency rule have to be satisfied as well. The full cluster ## Every question about this rule The answers our support team works from, each on its own page. - [Is the profit target based on balance or equity?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/profit-target-balance-or-equity) - Use the metrics displayed in your GFN dashboard for the relevant objective - open positions affect equity and risk limits before they are closed. - [What happens when I reach the profit target?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/what-happens-when-i-reach-the-target) - Trading should stop once your Evaluation has satisfied the required objectives and your dashboard confirms completion. - [Should I continue trading after reaching my target?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/should-i-keep-trading-after-my-target) - There is generally no benefit in taking unnecessary additional risk once all required Evaluation objectives have been completed. - [Do I need to close my trades before an Evaluation can be marked as passed?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/do-i-need-to-close-trades-to-pass) - Your account must satisfy the conditions required for completion - and open positions affect equity, so a balance that briefly crosses the target is not a pass. - [Do I need to hit a profit target before receiving an Instant Funded Account?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/instant-funding-profit-target) - There is no traditional Evaluation profit target required before the account is issued. - [Do profits from Phase 1 carry into Phase 2?](https://getfundednow.com/faq/do-phase-1-profits-carry-over) - No. Each Evaluation phase has its own objectives and starts according to the conditions defined for that phase.
