Profit Target

The minimum percentage return a trader must achieve on a prop firm evaluation account to pass the challenge and qualify for funding.

Detailed Explanation

Profit targets typically range from 5% to 10% depending on the firm and evaluation type. One-step challenges usually have a single target of 8%–10%, while two-step evaluations have a higher Phase 1 target (8%–10%) and a lower Phase 2 target (4%–5%). Some firms offer custom or relaxed profit targets for higher fees. Traders should focus on reaching the target through consistent, disciplined trading rather than taking excessive risk to hit it quickly.
