Key Rule Explanations
Profit Target
Traders must reach an 8% target in Phase 1 and a 5% target in Phase 2.
There is no profit target once funded.
Max Drawdown
The maximum drawdown is:
10% during Phase 1 and Phase 2
8% on funded accounts
This drawdown is trailing, meaning it increases as your account reaches new highs.
Daily Drawdown
Daily drawdown is:
5% during evaluation
4% on funded accounts
This is a hard breach rule, meaning any violation results in immediate account termination.
Minimum Profitable Trading Days
To pass a phase or request a payout, traders must complete:
3 separate profitable days
Each day must reach at least 0.5% profit
Profit Split
Funded traders receive:
80% standard profit split
90% or 100% available via add-ons
Risk Controls
Maximum open risk is limited to:
2% on a single trade
2.5% total floating drawdown at once
If exceeded:
Positions are automatically closed
On funded accounts, trading is paused until 5PM EST
This is considered a soft breach, not a hard violation.
Soft Breaches
Each account has a maximum of 5 soft breaches.
Exceeding this limit will result in a hard breach
Consistency Rule
No consistency rule during Phase 1 or Phase 2
Funded accounts must follow a 30% Equity Stability Score (ESS)
Payouts
Payouts are processed bi-weekly
Optional on-demand payouts are available via add-on
Minimum withdrawal is 2% of the account balance
News and EAs
News trading is allowed in all stages
Expert Advisors:
Allowed during evaluation
Not allowed on funded accounts
Inactivity
If no trades are placed for 30 consecutive days, the account will be considered inactive and may be closed.
Placing any trade resets the inactivity timer.
Summary
The 2-Step Amped program is ideal for traders who:
Want higher leverage
Prefer clear and structured rules
Do not want consistency restrictions during evaluation
Want scalable funding up to $300,000
