Overview
What is the 1 Step Challenge?
The 1 Step Challenge is a single-phase evaluation account with:
Profit Target: 6%
Maximum Drawdown: 4% (trailing high-watermark)
Daily Drawdown: There is NO daily drawdown. There is only Max Drawdown
Minimum Profitable Days: 4 minimum profitable days required to pass. A profitable day is a day with above 0.5% profit.
There are no time limits on completing the challenge.
Trading Rules
Stop Losses
A stop-loss is mandatory in funded accounts and must be set within 5 minutes of trade entry.
Not required during the challenge phase, but strongly recommended.
Fake stop-losses are prohibited (e.g., placing a SL that, if hit, would cause losses greater than daily/max drawdown).
News Trading
News trading is allowed during both evaluation and funded phases.
Expert Advisors (EAs)
EAs are not permitted on the 1 Step Challenge.
Copy Trading
Allowed for copying your own trades to your SLF/BCF funded account.
Copying identical trades from other traders in the same timeframe is not allowed.
Averaging Into Trades
Allowed, but trades in the same direction on the same pair (within a short timeframe) are treated as one Trade Idea.
Trade Ideas are used for Profit Consistency and Lot Consistency checks.
Tick Scalping
Please avoid any attempts at tick scalping, and keep trades open for over 2 minutes.
Consistency Rules
Profit Consistency Rule
No single trading day may equal or exceed 35% of your total profit for that payout period.
Example: If you make $1,000 in one day, you must reach $2,860 total profit before you are eligible to request a payout.
Profit caps apply when calculating the 35% threshold.
Payout requests cannot be made until this rule is satisfied.
Lot Size Consistency
Checked at the time of payout.
Based on your average trade size:
Max lot = average + 100%
Min lot = average – 75%
Example: Avg 1 lot → max 2 lots, min 0.25 lots.
❗ Multiple trades in the same direction on the same pair, opened close together, are treated as one Trade Idea. Lots and profit are combined.
Drawdown & Targets
Overall Drawdown (Trailing High-Watermark)
Max drawdown = 4% of the highest balance or equity, whichever is greater.
This drawdown trails as profits increase.
Example:
On a $100k account, initial drawdown is $4k.
If equity grows to $102k, the drawdown moves to $98k.
If balance grows to $108k, the drawdown moves to $104k.
Maximum Daily Loss (Daily Drawdown)
There is no daily loss rule, the only drawdown you need to think of is the Maximum Drawdown.
Profit Target
Single-phase target = 6%.
Payouts
Withdrawal Schedule
Payouts are instant request — meaning you can request a payout as soon as you meet requirements.
Actual processing is covered by our 24-hour payout guarantee (details below).
24-Hour Payout Guarantee
Payouts are guaranteed within 24 business hours.
If delayed, you’ll receive an extra 10% on your profit split.
Exceptions:
Weekends/holidays (bank delays)
Compliance checks / risk review
Delays in Rise onboarding or user response
Payouts
Profit Split
Profit split starts at 70% and scales to a cap of 90%, with 5% increasing split on each payout.
70% for the first payout
75% for the second payout
80% for the third payout
85% for the forth payout
90% for the rest of the payouts
Instant Payouts
Instant payout requests are available on the 1 Step Challenge.
This means you can request a payout immediately after passing requirements, though processing still falls under the 24-hour guarantee.
Rule Breaches & Payout Denials
Soft Breaches (Profit Deductions)
If you break a rule (e.g., Lot Consistency, Stop Loss rule, or other restrictions), the profit from that trade is deducted from your total profit.
If deductions are less than your profit, the reduced payout is still processed.
If deductions are greater than your profit (e.g., $3,000 profit but $4,000 deducted), your payout is denied.
You have a maximum of 20 soft breaches before account closure, this is detected at payout stage. Not automatically
Payout Denial Penalties
1st denial: profit split halved.
2nd denial: account closed.
Resets
Free Reset
If you reach funded status and lose your account within 10 days, you may request a free reset.
Reset account size matches your previous funded size and will give you a new challenge of the same size.
