A level ends in one of three ways — passing, hitting the Max Loss, or the 30-day timer expiring. This article covers what happens when a level ends without passing.
What triggers a level ending:
Trigger | Applies to |
30-day timer expires before requirements are met | All levels |
Realized Account Balance hits the Max Loss floor | Level 2 and above |
Level 1 is different. Level 1 has no Max Loss. It can only end when the 30-day timer expires or you pass. Your balance can drop below $10,000 during Level 1 without ending the level — but your balance must be above $10,000 when you complete your qualifying trades to pass.
What happens immediately:
All open positions are closed at their current market price
Trading stops for that level
You receive a notification and an email with your results and reset options
What you can do next:
You have two options:
Purchase a reset — retry the same level from scratch. Must be purchased within 7 calendar days of the level ending.
Purchase a new Challenge — if the 7-day reset window has expired, you must purchase a new Challenge at to continue. A new Challenge starts at Level 1.
If you do not purchase a reset within 7 calendar days of your level ending, the reset option expires permanently for that attempt.
