Last verified: 2024-05-01 | Official rules
SurgeTrader's 1-step challenge is moderate to pass. You need to hit a 10% profit target while staying within 8% max drawdown and 5% daily loss limit. It is a single-phase evaluation.
Difficulty rating: Moderate
What makes it moderate:
- -News trading restrictions limit your opportunities around high-volatility events
- -The 10% profit target is on the higher end
The numbers on a $25,000 account:
- -You need to make: $2,500
- -You can lose at most: $2,000 total
- -Daily loss limit: $1,250
- -That means your risk-to-reward ratio for the challenge is 1:1.3
Tips to pass:
- -Risk no more than 1-2% per trade to stay within daily limits
- -Static drawdown gives you a fixed floor, so profits create genuine cushion
- -Front-load your trading days early in the challenge for maximum flexibility
