What is the profit target?
The profit target for the Expert Challenge is 8% of your starting balance. This means that if you start with a $100,000 account, you need to generate a profit of $8,000 to complete the challenge. Once you achieve this target, you must close all open positions to successfully pass the challenge. There are no restrictions on how you reach this target, as long as you follow the trading rules.
Is there a daily drawdown for this challenge?
No, the Expert Challenge does not have a daily drawdown limit. This allows traders to manage their risk without worrying about daily fluctuations, as long as they stay within the maximum trailing drawdown limits.
How does the maximum drawdown work?
The maximum drawdown follows a trailing model and starts at 3% of your initial balance.
- If your account equity falls below 3% of your starting balance, it will be automatically closed for violating the drawdown rule.
- As you generate profits, the drawdown will trail upwards until you reach a 3% return, at which point it locks at your initial balance.
- Example:
- Starting balance: $100,000
- Violation occurs if equity drops below $97,000
- If you earn $2,000 and close your positions, the new maximum drawdown is $99,000
- If your account reaches $103,000, the drawdown permanently locks at $100,000, allowing you to compound profits freely.
Important: Any first withdrawal resets the maximum drawdown back to your initial balance + $100 buffer. This ensures traders maintain a buffer to continue trading effectively.
What is the maximum position size?
The maximum number of contracts you can hold at any given time depends on your account size:
- $50K account: Max 5 contracts
- $100K account: Max 10 contracts
- $150K account: Max 15 contracts
- Note: 1 Mini contract = 10 Micro contracts. For example, on a $50K account, you can hold 3 Minis and 20 Micros in various combinations.
Is there a minimum trading day requirement?
Is there a time limit to complete the challenge?
No, there is no time limit. You can take as long as you need to complete the evaluation, allowing you to trade at your own pace and under the best market conditions.
What happens after passing the challenge?
Once you successfully complete the evaluation, you will receive an email confirming your success. Next steps:
- Complete KYC verification via our partner Sumsub.
- Sign the contract agreement.
- Open an account with Rise.
Our risk-management team will then verify your trading activity. The entire process typically takes up to 48 hours. If you were already funded previously, you will not need to redo these steps.
Is there an activation fee after passing?
No, the Expert Challenge does not require an activation fee. This means traders do not have to pay any additional fees to receive their funded account.
What is the profit target?
The profit target for the Starter Challenge is 6% of your starting balance. If you start with a $50,000 account, you need to make $3,000 in profit to pass. Once you reach this target, you must close all open positions to successfully pass the challenge.
How does the soft daily drawdown work?
The daily drawdown limit is 2% of your starting balance.
- If you hit the limit, your account will be locked for the rest of the day to prevent further losses.
- Trading resumes the next day when the drawdown resets.
- Your account is not lost as long as your balance stays above the minimum requirement. This ensures traders can recover from daily losses while maintaining proper risk management.
How does the maximum drawdown work?
Same as the Expert Challenge:
- 3% trailing drawdown, which locks at the starting balance after reaching a 3% return.
- Example:
- $100,000 account → drawdown violation occurs at $97,000.
- If you profit $2,000, the new drawdown level is $99,000.
- If you reach $103,000, the drawdown locks at $100,000 permanently.
What is the maximum position size?
- $50K account: Max 3 contracts
- $100K account: Max 6 contracts
- $150K account: Max 9 contracts
Is there a minimum trading day requirement?
Yes, you must trade for a minimum of 4 days to complete the evaluation. Each trading day must show a profit of at least 0.5% of your starting balance. This ensures traders demonstrate consistent performance across multiple days rather than reaching the target in a single session.
Is there a time limit to complete the challenge?
No, there is no time limit. You can take as long as you need to complete the evaluation, allowing you to trade at your own pace and under the best market conditions.
What happens after passing the challenge?
Same process as the Expert Challenge:
- Complete KYC verification.
- Sign the contract agreement.
- Open an account with Rise.
The verification process takes up to 48 hours.
Is there an activation fee after passing?
Yes, a $129 activation fee applies for all account sizes. This fee is required to activate your funded account.

What is the maximum capital allocation?
The maximum capital allocation per trader is $500,000. This includes both evaluation accounts and sim-funded accounts running simultaneously.
For example:
- A trader can have multiple evaluation accounts totaling up to $500,000 in starting balance.
- Once funded, the combined capital across sim-funded accounts cannot exceed $500,000 at any given time.
This structure allows traders to scale their trading while maintaining responsible risk management. If you reach the cap with funded accounts, you must withdraw profits or close accounts before adding new evaluations.
Our goal is to provide traders with ample capital opportunities while ensuring fair risk management and account sustainability.
Can I trade news events?
No, trading during major economic news releases is not allowed.
All positions must be closed at least 2 minutes before and after any scheduled Tier-1 news events. For example, if an event is scheduled for 8:30 AM, you must close all trades by 8:28 AM and can only re-enter the market after 8:32 AM.
This rule is in place to protect traders from extreme volatility, slippage, and unpredictable price movements that often occur during high-impact news releases.
Traders are responsible for checking the economic calendar and ensuring compliance. Violating this rule will result in an account breach.
Can I hold trades overnight and over the weekend?
Yes, you are allowed to hold trades overnight, but not over the weekend.
Since futures markets have designated closing times, all positions must be closed before the market shuts down for the weekend. If you leave a trade open past market hours on Friday, our system will automatically close all positions to prevent potential risks from weekend price gaps and illiquid market conditions.
How long does it take to receive a payout?
At FX2 Futures, we guarantee that all payouts are processed within 48 hours. We pride ourselves on being a reliable and trader-focused firm, ensuring that you receive your profits quickly and without unnecessary delays.
