What is a Classic Futures Challenge Account?
The Classic Futures Challenge Account is the stage before the Funded Account. It allows you to prove your trading skills with lower capital requirements and slightly more flexible rules.
Our Classic plan is built around the Max-Position-Loss. Instead of a daily loss limit, your risk is capped per position: a single position may not lose more than 1% in the Challenge and 0.5% in Funding. This keeps individual trades controlled while giving you the freedom to trade throughout the day.
Are profits withdrawable?
No, the Challenge Account is fully based on simulated capital. All profits generated are only used for qualification purposes and cannot be withdrawn.

*A soft breach means the position is automatically closed, but the account remains active. A hard breach means the account is closed.
What happens after passing?
Once you reach the profit target, you can directly activate the account in the dashboard by paying the activation fee.
You will then receive a new Classic Funded Account with the same account size.
There is no time limit for activating a passed Challenge.
What happens if I violate a rule?
If you breach the account, you may restart the Challenge Account for a reduced reset fee.
Duration
An Challenge Account is valid for 30 days.
You may manually extend it in the dashboard for an additional 30 days for $19*.
If no extension is purchased, access to the account will permanently expire.
*older accounts are unfortunately still technically tied to the old data feed for $39
