Overview

Discipline, Structure & Scalability

The 2-step evaluation model ensures traders demonstrate consistency, discipline, and risk management across two structured phases before receiving funding — the industry-standard approach trusted by institutional prop firms worldwide.

Two-Phase Evaluation Structure
A proven system that validates trading performance across Challenge and Verification stages before granting live capital access. Industry-standard and trader-familiar.
Strong Risk Filtering
Layered risk rules across both phases ensure only disciplined, rule-compliant traders progress through the evaluation to funded status — protecting your firm's capital.
Scalable Trader Assessment
Handle thousands of concurrent evaluations with automated phase transitions, rule enforcement, and account management — zero manual overhead, fully configurable.
Industry-Standard Model
The most widely adopted prop firm evaluation structure globally. Traders recognise and trust the format, reducing friction in your marketing and acquisition funnel.
Process

From Registration to Funded Account

A structured two-phase flow ensuring only consistent, risk-managed traders receive live capital. Every step is fully automated by FXPropTech's evaluation engine.

Phase 1
Challenge Stage
01
Trader Registers
The trader purchases a 2-step evaluation, selects their account size, and receives instant access to a simulated trading account on your platform.
02
Must Reach Profit Target
The trader actively trades to hit an 8% profit target while staying within the maximum daily loss and overall drawdown limits set for Phase 1.
03
Follows Strict Risk Rules
All risk parameters — max daily loss, overall drawdown, minimum trading days — must be strictly adhered to. Any violation automatically fails the phase.
04
Passes to Phase 2
Once the profit target is met with zero rule violations, the system automatically advances the account to the Verification Stage — no manual review needed.
Phase 2
Verification Stage
05
Lower Risk Limits Applied
Phase 2 activates stricter risk controls — reduced drawdown thresholds and tighter daily loss limits to confirm professional-level discipline under pressure.
06
Confirms Consistency
The trader must demonstrate consistent, repeatable profitability spread across a minimum number of trading days — no cluster trading or gap exploitation.
07
Final Evaluation Check
The risk engine performs a full trading behaviour analysis — checking for HFT patterns, news exploitation, copy trading, multi-account abuse, and policy violations.
08
Funded Account Granted
Upon passing all Phase 2 criteria, the trader receives a live funded account with real capital and a profit split arrangement. Your firm starts generating revenue.
Rules Engine

Phase-Based Rule Configuration

Every rule is fully configurable through FXPropTech's rules engine. Define separate parameters for Phase 1 and Phase 2 to create the exact trader filter your prop firm requires.

Phase 1 — Challenge Stage
Configurable
Profit Target
8% – 10%
Customizable profit threshold. Traders must reach the target while respecting all active risk parameters throughout Phase 1.
Max Daily Loss
4% – 5%
Maximum account loss permitted in a single trading day. Violation triggers an automatic account breach — no exceptions.
Max Overall Drawdown
8% – 10%
Maximum total drawdown from initial or peak balance. Configurable as a static or trailing drawdown model to suit your risk profile.
Minimum Trading Days
5+ Days
Traders must demonstrate consistent activity across a minimum number of calendar trading days to prove discipline and avoid lucky single-session passes.
Phase 2 — Verification Stage
Stricter Controls
Verification Profit Target
5%
A lower profit target confirms that Phase 1 performance was not a fluke. Consistency at a measured pace is the key validation signal.
Tighter Daily Loss Limit
3% – 4%
Stricter daily loss limits in Phase 2 ensure traders maintain composure and discipline under the pressure of a final verification evaluation.
Consistency Requirements
Enforced
Trading activity must be distributed consistently across days. No clustering, gap trading, or manipulation that artificially inflates evaluation performance.
Trading Behaviour Validation
Automated
HFT detection, news filter, multi-account checks, and copy trading detection run automatically across every Phase 2 account in real time.
Performance

Why the 2-Step Model Delivers Results

A structured two-phase system consistently produces higher-quality funded traders, lower risk exposure, and stronger long-term prop firm performance.

Better Trader Filtering
Two phases means only traders who demonstrate genuine skill AND discipline reach funded status. The dual filter clearly separates lucky winners from consistently disciplined performers.
Higher Trader Quality
Reduced Risk Exposure
Progressively stricter rules across two phases mean your firm's capital is protected by traders who have proven they can manage risk under real evaluation conditions.
Lower Capital at Risk
Higher Funded Trader Quality
Traders who survive two phases are statistically more likely to maintain discipline on live accounts — delivering better profit splits and longer account lifespans for your firm.
2x Better Retention
Industry-Proven Structure
The 2-step model is the most widely used evaluation format globally. Traders understand the rules, which means less friction in your marketing funnel and faster acquisition.
