The Challenge has five sequential levels. To pass each one, you need to hit a qualifying trade target within 30 days while staying within the one rule — the Max Loss. Here is how all three pieces work together:
Qualifying trades are your objective — the number of trades you need to complete at each level. A qualifying trade is a fully closed market position with at least $300 in combined realized profit. You are working toward this number the entire time you are in a level.
The 30-day timer is your deadline. It starts the moment you begin a level and runs continuously — it does not pause for weekends, holidays, or market downtime. If the timer expires before you complete your qualifying trades, the level ends. You can purchase a reset to try again.
The Max Loss is the only rule. From Level 2 onward, if your Realized Account Balance drops $500 from its highest point during the level, the level ends immediately — regardless of how many qualifying trades you have completed or how much time is left. Level 1 has no Max Loss.
Level | Qualifying Trades | Max Loss | Payout | Reset Fee |
Level 1 | 2 | None | — | $19 |
Level 2 | 3 | $500 | — | $29 |
Level 3 | 4 | $500 | $50 | $39 |
Level 4 | 5 | $500 | $200 | $99 |
Level 5 | 8 | $500 | $750 | $249 |
