Our challenge programs are designed not only to identify skilled traders but also to instill disciplined and consistent trading habits important for long-term success in futures and forex markets.

Our challenge rules are not arbitrary. They are created to assess your trading abilities while strengthening risk management principles. By adhering to these rules and objectives, you demonstrate your ability to consistently execute your trading plan and manage risk effectively.

Here's a breakdown of key challenge rules and objectives you'll encounter in our programs:

The profit target is the percentage of profit you need to achieve on your account to advance to the next challenge phase or to reach a SimFi™ performance account. Achieving the profit target demonstrates your ability to maintain a positive risk-to-reward ratio, a key factor in successful trading.

Daily Pause is a protective feature that safeguards your trading account. If your daily loss reaches a predetermined percentage of your starting account balance, your trading will be temporarily paused until the next trading day. This feature aims to prevent you from failing due to a single trading mistake or unforeseen market movements.

This rule is optionable for Model 3, if user decides he would like to switch this rule for Best Day. The daily maximum profit cap is a rule designed to promote steady, consistent trading to prevent restricted trading strategies. It establishes a daily limit on the maximum profit you can achieve, calculated as a percentage of your initial account balance.

The End-of-Day (EOD) Dynamic Drawdown is a dynamic risk management rule that adjusts based on your trading performance. It sets a maximum percentage limit on how far your account balance can fall from your highest achieved balance at the end of each trading day.

The Best Day Rule encourages consistent and disciplined trading. It measures your ability to steadily generate profits by preventing over-reliance on a single winning day. This rule helps you develop a sustainable trading approach for long-term success.
