Classic Mode introduction

Key features, trading days, and scaling for the Classic Mode challenge

Classic Mode is designed for traders seeking simplicity and flexibility. In addition to profit targets, you only need to satisfy a minimum Trading Day requirement to pass challenges and request payouts. It is available in three formats: one-stage trailing, one-stage static, and two-stage. Account sizes range from 5K to 150K.

ℹ️ Accounts purchased before 27 August 2026 have a 3% minimum payout.

ℹ️ All formats of the same account size are the same price — for example, a 10K one-stage trailing, 10K one-stage static, and 10K two-stage all cost the same.

Trading Days

Classic Mode requires you to complete a minimum number of Trading Days to pass a challenge and qualify for each payout. A Trading Day is a day on which at least one closing deal was executed in your account. A new Trading Day begins at 22:00 GMT during standard time and 21:00 GMT during US Daylight Saving. All account sizes require 3 Trading Days.

Daily consistency score

Simulated Funded Classic Mode accounts issued after 9 April 2026 have a 50% daily consistency score requirement. No single trading day can account for more than 50% of your total profit. It does not apply during the challenge stages.

Scaling program

Classic Mode accounts use the Sustainable Scaling Program. Every fifth payout scales the account: an increment is added to the same account, automatically, once the payout is approved. The increment is a percentage of your initial balance, set by your Rank in the Experience Program.

Pip Protector

On your Simulated Funded Account, the Pip Protector limits the amount you can lose, realised and unrealised, within a Risk Window. It operates on a three-strike structure: each time your Max Risk Limit is reached, open positions are closed automatically and your risk allowance is reduced.
