Challenge Rules & Objectives – Pro Challenge

Everything you need to know to succeed in the Pro Challenge.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Overview

The TopTier Pro Challenge is structured with clearly defined rules to encourage disciplined, consistent trading while maintaining risk control. Traders must complete two evaluation tiers before reaching a funded account, each with specific requirements for profit, trading days, and risk management.


📋 Key Rules

1. Profit Targets

To advance through each tier of the Pro Challenge:

  • Tier 1: 10% profit target

    • 8% profit target if purchased with the Hybrid Max Loss / Profit Target Add-on

  • Tier 2: 5% profit target


2. Minimum Trading Days

  • Tier 1 & Tier 2: Minimum of 4 simulated trading days

    • This is reduced to 0 days if the No Minimum Trading Days Add-on is purchased.

  • Maximum Trading Days: Unlimited for both tiers.


3. Daily Simulated Drawdown Limit

The daily sim drawdown is calculated as 5% of the higher of:

  • The starting day’s virtual balance or

  • The starting day’s virtual equity (realized/unrealized gains)

🕔 The drawdown resets daily at 5 PM EST.

Example:
If your starting equity is $105,000 and balance is $100,000:
Drawdown = 5% of $105,000 = $5,250
New equity must stay above $99,750 that day.


4. Maximum Overall Simulated Drawdown

Set at 10% of your initial sim balance.

  • Reduced to 8% if the Hybrid Max Loss / Profit Target Add-on is purchased.

💡 Unlike the daily drawdown, this drawdown does not reset. It remains fixed based on your starting balance.


5. Payout Rules (Once Funded)

  • Payouts are on-demand: You may request a payout once you’ve hit at least 2% profit and meet the 40% consistency rule.

  • Minimum of 2% of the starting account balance required.

  • Profit Split:

    • 80% standard

    • 90% with the Higher Profit Share Add-on

  • Payouts are typically processed within 1 business day.


6. Consistency Rule

To qualify for a payout, you must meet the 40% consistency rule, meaning:

  • Your most profitable trading day should not exceed 40% of your total profit.

If you exceed this, you’ll need to continue trading until your average profit distribution becomes consistent.


7. News Trading

  • Allowed only with the News Trading Add-on

  • Without the add-on, traders cannot place trades within 5 minutes before or after a red folder event.

  • Violations result in profit deductions.
