Two-Step Challenge Rules

This article explains the conditions of the FXRK Two-Step Challenge and the parameters required to pass it.

The Two-Step Challenge is designed to evaluate a trader’s consistency and ability to manage risk across two consecutive evaluation phases.

Challenge Objective

Phase 1

The profit target in Phase 1 is 10% of the account’s initial balance.

Phase 2

The profit target in Phase 2 is 5% of the account’s initial balance.

To pass the challenge, both objectives must be reached while respecting all program risk rules at all times.

Required Trading Days

To pass each phase, you must complete 3 profitable trading days.

Each of these days must close with at least +0.5% profit based on the account’s initial balance.

Profitable days:

• Do not need to be consecutive

• Are calculated at server close

No Time Limit

The Two-Step Challenge has no time limit.

You can progress at your own pace and trade with flexibility as long as all program rules are respected.

Loss Limits

Maximum Daily Loss

You cannot lose more than 4% of the initial account balance in a single day.

This calculation includes:

• Closed losses

• Floating losses from open positions

Maximum Total Loss

During each phase of the challenge, the total loss cannot exceed 8% of the initial account balance.

If either of these limits is exceeded, the challenge will be invalidated.

Drawdown Type

The Two-Step model uses static drawdown.

This means that loss limits are always calculated based on the account’s initial balance and do not adjust as the account grows.

Leverage

The maximum leverage depends on the type of instrument traded.

Trading During News, Overnight, and Weekends

During the challenge, traders are allowed to trade during major economic news events.

It is also permitted to hold positions overnight and during weekends.

For funded accounts, positions may remain open during high-impact news events. However, trades cannot be opened or closed:

• 4 minutes before the official news release

• 4 minutes after the official news release

Consistency Rule

In Two-Step funded accounts, a profit consistency rule applies.

The profit generated by a single trade cannot exceed 40% of the total profit achieved during the payout cycle.

This rule is intended to encourage stable trading performance and prevent results from depending almost entirely on a single exceptional trade.

After Passing the Challenge

Once Phase 1 and Phase 2 are successfully completed, the trader receives access to a funded account.

The standard profit split is 80% for the trader.

It can be increased up to 100% through the Profit Split Add-on, available when purchasing the challenge.

Payouts follow a fixed 14-day cycle, provided that the conditions of the funded account program are met.

Final Recommendation

The two-phase model is designed to evaluate a trader’s consistency over time, not just isolated results.

A strategy based on disciplined risk management and stable trading activity significantly increases the probability of passing both phases and maintaining an active funded account.
