Profitable Days

One Step Light requires you to complete 4 Profitable Days to pass the challenge and qualify for each payout. A Profitable Day is a trading day where your end-of-day (EOD) balance increases by at least 0.5% of the initial balance compared to the previous EOD Reference. See the Minimum Profitable Days article for the minimum daily profit on your account size.

Consistency Score

The Consistency Score is your best trading day divided by your total rewards, expressed as a percentage. To pass the challenge or qualify for a payout, your Consistency Score must be at or below 50% on every account size.

End of Day Trailing Max Loss

Your Max Loss limit sits 4% below your end-of-day high watermark — the higher of your end-of-day balance or equity. It moves up at the end of each day as your account grows, and never moves down except when a payout is deducted.

⚠️ The Max Loss allowance stays at 4% at every Rank. Rank 2 does not add 1% on One Step Light.

Max Risk

During the challenge your Max Risk Limit is 3%. On the Simulated Funded Account it is 2% and enforced through the Pip Protector, which closes your open positions and records a Strike each time the limit is reached.

Payouts

The smallest payout you can request is 1% of your balance. The largest starts at 3% and increases by 1% with every payout you take, up to 6%. Profit above the cap stays in your account for a future payout. See Payout Caps.

Add-Ons

Add-Ons can be bought at checkout to adjust your account, including a longer time limit, shorter payout intervals, extra Max Loss and Swap-Free trading. See How Add-Ons Work at PipFarm.
