Classic 1-Step vs 2-Step: which crypto challenge fits?
Classic 1-Step is one evaluation phase with a consistency rule. 2-Step is two phases with wider loss limits and a lower fee at every size. Every number below comes from the published rulesets and the price list.
01On one account
What each asks on the 10K account.
The profit you must make before the funded account, the days it takes at least, and the room you have.
| 10K account | Classic 1-Step | 2-Step |
|---|---|---|
| Profit to reach | $800 | $800 then $500, so $1,300 in total |
| Minimum trading days | 3 | 3 + 3, so 6 at least |
| Daily room | $400 | $500 |
| Total room | $800 | $1,000 |
| Fee | $110 | $100 |
| Consistency to pass | Best day at most 40% of the profit | None |
The same on both: the profit split, the payout cycle, the minimum payout, the leverage caps, the trading fees, the instruments, and the composite mark that decides a breach.
02Every size
Fees and limits in dollars, from 5K to 100K.
The limits are shares of the starting balance, so they scale with the account. The reset fee is offered for a limited time after a breach in an evaluation phase.

04Choosing
Which one fits how you trade.
Classic 1-Step is the shorter path: one target and no second phase. It asks that no single day carries more than 40% of the profit, so it fits steady results more than one large day.
2-Step asks for two targets and gives more room each day and in total, for a lower fee. It takes at least 6 trading days before the funded account.
