What is the difference between Challenge Rapid and Challenge Steady?

Same one-step challenge, same target. Rapid is a low monthly subscription with no daily loss limit; Steady is a one-time payment with a soft daily limit and activation included.

Both programs are one-step challenges with the same account sizes ($25K to $150K), the same 6% target and the same 3% end-of-day Max Drawdown. The difference is how you pay and how much daily flexibility you get.

Challenge Rapid — pay as you go

  • $29 per month, any size. Cancel anytime.
  • No Daily Loss Limit. Only the Max Drawdown applies.
  • Minimum trading days: 1.
  • Reset: $25.
  • When you pass, a one-time activation fee unlocks your Funded account: $99 ($25K) · $149 ($50K) · $199 ($100K) · $269 ($150K).
  • The subscription pauses automatically when you pass or lose the account, and is cancelled when you activate your Funded account.

Best for traders who want a low entry cost and maximum freedom intraday.

Challenge Steady — one payment, done

  • One-time fee: $145 ($25K) · $265 ($50K) · $349 ($100K) · $499 ($150K). No subscription.
  • Daily Loss Limit: 1.5% (soft). Hitting it pauses trading for the rest of the day; the account stays open.
  • Minimum trading days: 3.
  • Reset: $75 ($25K) · $99 ($50K) · $174 ($100K) · $220 ($150K).
  • Activation included — no extra fee when you pass.

Best for traders who prefer a single payment and a built-in daily guardrail.
