Both the 1-Step and 2-Step Crypto Edge Evaluations have their own benefits and trade-offs. It’s important to choose carefully, as you cannot change your plan type after purchase.
Once you pass the evaluation and receive a Crypto Edge Performance Account, your account size and risk rules will remain the same as during your evaluation.
Key Differences Between 1-Step and 2-Step Evaluations
Factor | 1-Step Evaluation | 2-Step Evaluation |
Number of Stages | 1 stage | 2 stages |
Profit Target | 10% total profit target. | Step 1: 5% profit target. Step 2: 10% profit target. |
Maximum Daily Loss | 4% of account balance/equity, whichever is higher at rollover (resets daily at 00:00 UTC). | 5% of account balance/equity, whichever is higher at rollover (resets daily at 00:00 UTC). |
Maximum Drawdown | 6% (Static) – Based on the account starting balance. | 8% (Trailing) – Adjusts upward based on the highest equity achieved. |
Risk Profile | Stricter risk limits, faster path to funding. | More flexibility with risk limits but requires two stages. |
Trade Carryover | Trades do not carry over once you pass the evaluation. | New account issued for Step 2 after passing Step 1. Trades do not carry over. |
Which One Should You Choose?
✔ Choose the 1-Step Evaluation if:
You want a faster route to funding with just one stage.
You are confident in your trading ability to hit a 10% profit target under tighter risk rules.
You prefer a static drawdown based on the initial balance of the account.
✔ Choose the 2-Step Evaluation if:
You prefer wider risk limits.
You are comfortable progressing through two trading stages instead of one.
You prefer a trailing drawdown with a wider drawdown margin.
Since you cannot change your plan after purchase, carefully consider your risk tolerance and trading style before making your decision.
