* FTMO: Rule change: FTMO 1-Step accounts ordered from 12 October 2026, 09:00 CEST use a Consistency rule (best day at most 50% of total profit), which this site now checks. Accounts ordered before that keep the old Best Day Rule: the best day may be at most 50% of the profit of your positive days only.
Rules verified 2026-10-11. Firms change challenge terms often; each firm page links to the official source.
One step or two?
A one-step challenge is faster to pass, but the firm usually tightens something else to make up for the missing phase: a trailing instead of a static max loss, a lower daily loss limit, or a consistency rule on the pass. Two-step challenges split the target in two (for example 8% then 5%) and often keep a larger, static drawdown.
Two-step challenges we track: Blue Guardian 2 Step Standard, FTMO FTMO Challenge 2-Step, FundedNext Stellar 2-Step, FundedNext Stellar Lite, FundingPips 2 Step Flex (80% split), FundingPips 2 Step Flex (95% split), FundingPips 2 Step Pro, FundingPips 2 Step Standard, Goat Funded Trader 2 Step GOAT, Goat Funded Trader 2 Step Standard.
Whatever you pick, the account check tells you how far you are from the target and what to do next, and the comparison puts any three accounts side by side.
Questions
What is a one-step prop firm challenge?
An evaluation you pass in a single phase: reach one profit target without breaking the max loss (and, where there is one, the daily loss limit and consistency rule), and you get a funded account. A two-step challenge has a second, usually smaller target to reach before funding.
Is a 1-step or a 2-step challenge better?
One step is faster, but firms usually make up for it with a tighter max loss (often trailing instead of static), a stricter daily loss limit or a consistency rule. Two steps take longer but often allow a larger static drawdown. Compare the limits in the tables, not just the number of steps.
Which one-step challenges have no consistency rule?
Of the accounts we track: Alpha Futures Zero Evaluation + Qualified, Apex Trader Funding EOD Evaluation + PA, Apex Trader Funding Intraday Evaluation + PA, Blue Guardian 1 Step Standard, FundedNext Stellar 1-Step, FundingPips 1 Step Flex, Goat Funded Trader 1 Step, Lucid Trading LucidPro, My Funded Futures Builder, My Funded Futures Builder ($1,500 MLL option), My Funded Futures Pro (1 Day add-on), My Funded Futures Studio, Tradeify Growth Evaluation + Funded. The other limits still apply.
Are futures prop challenges one-step?
Almost always: futures firms such as Topstep, Apex, Lucid, Tradeify and Alpha Futures use a single evaluation with one profit target, then a funded (sim or express) account. The two-step format is mostly a forex and CFD firm thing.
