2-Step Plus Profit Target Rule
The profit target defines how much net profit must be achieved in each evaluation phase in order to progress to the next stage of the 2-Step Plus program.
Profit targets are based strictly on the account balance, not equity.
Profit Targets by Phase
Phase | Profit Target |
Phase 1 | 10% |
Phase 2 | 5% |
Funded | No profit target |
Example
A trader starts Phase 1 with a $50,000 account.
Step 1: Calculate the profit target
10% of $50,000 = $5,000
Target balance = $55,000
Once the profit target is reached and all other applicable rules are met, phase 1 passes and upgrades to phase 2. If phase 2 is passed, your account becomes eligible for review and progression.
How the Profit Target Is Measured
The profit target is calculated from the starting balance of the phase
The account balance must reach or exceed the profit target
All trades must be fully closed for the profit target to be considered met
Open trades do not count toward the profit target
Equity reaching the target without closing trades does not qualify.
