Overview of Challenge Equities
2 min read
The Challenge Equities Program follows a standard evaluation-based funding model, designed to identify consistent and disciplined traders before providing funded capital.
Traders pay a monthly evaluation fee, complete the defined challenge parameters, and once passed, receive access to a simulated funded account under live trading conditions.
How It Works
- Select a Challenge Tier: INTM, ADV, or Pro Trader.
- Pay the monthly evaluation fee to begin your challenge.
- Trade for a minimum of 5 days within a 30-day window.
- Maintain a 40% consistency rule: your best day's profit cannot exceed 40% of your total profit target.
- Reach the profit target while staying within all loss limits.
- Pass verification, then receive simulated funding and transition to a funded account.
Evaluation Structure Summary
| Package | Account Size | Max Daily Loss | Max Account Loss | Profit Target | Drawdown (Challenge) | Drawdown (Funded) | Profit Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| INTM | $25,000 | $500 | $1,000 | $1,500 | Intra-Day Trailing | End-of-Day Trailing | 80 / 20 |
| ADV | $50,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 | $3,000 | Intra-Day Trailing | End-of-Day Trailing | 80 / 20 |
| Pro Trader | $100,000 | $2,000 | $4,000 | $6,000 | Intra-Day Trailing | End-of-Day Trailing | 80 / 20 |
Activation Fee (Funded Stage): $149 (paid after passing).
How Funding Works After Passing
- Challenge Verification: TradeMakers reviews your account for rule compliance and consistency.
- Account Activation: your funded account is issued (a $149 one-time activation fee applies). It mirrors the challenge parameters but uses End-of-Day (EOD) trailing drawdown instead of intraday.
- Profit Split: funded traders receive an 80 / 20 split (80% to the trader).
- Risk Management Continuity: Max Daily Loss and Max Account Loss remain unchanged; drawdown transitions from intraday to EOD trailing.
