Two phases, but neither is harder than the first — Phase 2 actually asks for a smaller profit target than Phase 1 did. This model also carries the widest drawdown room of the standard challenges, and with no time limit on either phase, there's no reason to rush.

Phase 2

Automatic Activation

Nothing new to learn here — Phase 2 unlocks automatically the moment you pass Phase 1, on the same account and under the same daily and overall drawdown limits you already traded with. It even asks for a smaller profit target than Phase 1 did, to confirm consistency rather than raise the bar. ForRealFunding's public catalog doesn't itemize a fixed Phase 2 percentage since it's calculated per account; the exact target appears on your dashboard once Phase 1 is active.

Funded Account

Automatic Activation

Passing is the hard part — this part is automatic. Your funded account is created the instant you pass, carrying over the same risk-limit structure you already traded under during the evaluation. The exact daily/overall drawdown, leverage, and payout terms for your funded account land on your dashboard the moment it's created.

Refund Eligibility: You get your challenge fee back, automatically. Refunds land alongside a regular payout once you hit the milestone for your program type — no separate request needed. Your fee is refunded after your 3rd payout.

Universal Guidelines

Rules that apply to all accounts

Standard risk policies maintained across every ForRealFunding program.
  • Stop-loss isn't mandatory, but treat it as if it were

    You can trade without a stop-loss, but a single adverse move without one can be enough to blow through a daily or overall drawdown limit — which closes the account immediately, evaluation or funded.

  • 30-second minimum hold time — funded & Instant accounts only

    Once you're funded (or on Instant Funding), every trade must stay open at least 30 seconds. A first violation is a warning; a second is an immediate, permanent breach. This does not apply during evaluation phases.

  • Weekend & overnight holding is allowed everywhere

    Every stage, evaluation and funded, permits holding positions overnight and through the weekend. Watch gap risk on reopen and any swap/rollover fees on the instruments you hold.

  • EAs are allowed — HFT and latency exploitation are not

    Expert Advisors and automated strategies are welcome on every account. High-frequency trading, tick scalping, and exploiting execution latency are prohibited, and every trade (manual or automated) must still meet the minimum hold time on funded accounts.

  • News trading: free in evaluations, one nuance once funded

    Trade through any news event with no restriction during a challenge. On funded accounts, profit from a trade opened or closed within 5–10 minutes of a high-impact release may be removed — the trade itself isn't breached, only that profit.

  • Trade like a professional, not a gambler

    Size your risk sensibly and you'll never think about this rule. Martingale/grid systems, all-or-nothing trades, and consistently oversized single-trade risk are the only things that can get an account closed for abusive risk behavior, even without a hard numeric breach.

  • It's your account, your trade

    Simple principle: hedging across other brokers or prop firms, sharing login credentials, letting someone else trade for you, and copy trading with anyone outside your own ForRealFunding accounts are all prohibited.

  • KYC is required once — after you pass, before funding

    Identity verification (ID + proof of address) happens only after you pass an evaluation, and only once you need it to activate a funded account. It isn't required to start a challenge.

  • $500,000 maximum funded allocation per trader

    You can run multiple funded accounts at once, but the combined funded capital across all of them caps at $500K. Anything you pass beyond that is held until an existing account frees up capacity.

  • Scale up after you're funded

    You're not locked into one account size — once you pass and get funded, you can take on a funded account of any size for your next challenge, up to the combined $500,000 funded allocation across all your accounts.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Key answers regarding program rules, account evaluation, and payout policies.
Is it achievable to pass a ForRealFunding challenge?

Yes. Our programs are designed to evaluate genuine trading skill without artificial barriers: there are no maximum time limits, no hidden consistency rules on core models, and Pay After Pass provides generous drawdown room. Risk management is key to clearing targets safely.

What is the primary reason traders fail challenges?

Breaching a maximum daily or overall drawdown limit—most frequently caused by skipping stop-loss management or over-leveraging a single position. Managing downside risk ensures steady progress toward the profit target.

Do rules vary based on account size?

No. Percentage parameters—such as profit target, daily loss, and total drawdown—are uniform across all account sizes ($5K to $500K) for any given program. Only monetary values scale proportionally.

What happens immediately upon passing?

For 1-Step or Instant models, your funded account is created. For 2-Step programs, Phase 2 is generated automatically in your dashboard. Identity verification (KYC) takes place prior to funded account activation.

Can I retry if a rule violation occurs?

Yes. A rule breach does not prevent you from starting fresh. You can acquire a new challenge at any time, and Pay After Pass keeps entry costs low for retries.
