The 2-Step Classic Program
Our 2-Step Classic Program is a two-phase static drawdown evaluation account. Upon passing both steps/phases, subject to the usual processing and review, you will then receive a FT+ Trader simulated live account. In this final phase, you will be able to request a withdrawal from the account, paid in real-world USD funds.
The 2-Step Classic Program is a Static Drawdown program, meaning the maximum loss limit (or maximum drawdown limit) on your account is fixed based on your initial starting balance. This static maximum drawdown remains the same throughout trading and is not affected by any simulated profits or gains.
This program comes with a 7% profit target on both phases, a static max drawdown of 8%, on both phases and a daily drawdown limit of 4% for both the first and second phases/steps of the challenge. The daily drawdown (Daily Simulated Loss) is calculated from your closed balance of the prior trading day, when it resets at 23:59 server time, every day.
The 2-Step Classic Program has a Consistency Rule of 35% in both challenge phases/steps, and 50% on the FT+ Trader Simulated live account. This means that for the evaluation phase, traders must demonstrate consistent performance over time, and that no single trading day's simulated profit accumulated, exceeds your 35% or 50% (depending on the phase/step) consistency rule total.
In order to understand our consistency rule in full, please read our dedicated article in our FT+ help center, by Clicking Here.
This program also includes a 3% Symbol Loss Limit, which is a hard breach rule. This means that any single instrument (e.g. XAU/USD) may not incur more than a 3% simulated equity loss, calculated based on the Balance at 16:59 EST* the prior day. Multiple simultaneous trades on the same instrument count as one for the purpose of this rule. If this rule is triggered in any Evaluation phase or in the FT+ Trader Phase, the account will be terminated (Hard Breached). You can read more about the 3% Symbol Loss Limit by clicking here.
Trading 2-Step Classic Program also includes being subject to trading in line with the Risk Policies, our Terms & Conditions and without the use of any prohibited practises. Breaching any of these can result in account closure, as cited in the terms and conditions.
This program allows for weekend holding and has no stop-loss requirement. Please also note, this is a Swap Free program, across any available platform.
Withdrawals on the FT+ Trader Simulated Live Account
Once you have passed both evaluation phases of the 2-Step Classic and have been upgraded to the FT+ Trader simulated live account, you become eligible to request a withdrawal 10 calendar days after account creation, provided that the Consistency rule of 50% on this phase/step has been achieved, the account has not been hard breached, and you are requesting a withdrawal over the minimum withdrawal amount.
With the 2-Step Classic, your payout split for this program is 80% as standard, meaning when you make a withdrawal request, you will be paid 80% of the amount, in real world USD. Your first withdrawal request can be made 10 days after account creation, and every 10 days thereafter.
The 2-Step Classic programs has a minimum withdrawal threshold of 1% of your account's initial starting balance. For example, on a $100,000 account, your minimum withdrawal request would be $1,000, once your account is in simulated profit and has met all available withdrawal request criteria.
After a successful withdrawal request and payment, your consistency score resets, and will be recalculated solely based on the trading activity, after your withdrawal. To give an example of this, see below:
- Trader has $100k account size → Best day $500 → Current profit $1,000. Consistency score of 50% met.
- Trader withdraws $800 → Best day resets to $0 → Current profit $200
- Trader makes 1 x trade and makes $10 → Best day now $10 → Current profit $210
- Trader can withdraw $210 with consistency score of 4.55%
We have also created a dedicated tool in order for traders to understand the consistency rule and percentages on accounts, with examples; please use this Consistency Rule Calculator in order to see any example on any account size or step/phase.
Scaling Information for the 2-Step Classic program
The scaling target for the 2-Step Classic program is 20% simulated profit. A scale request may be submitted once the following conditions are met:
-
Account must have met the 50% consistency score required.
-
At least one successful withdrawal on the FT+ Trader simulated live account
-
The account must have been active for at least 2 months before the first scaling request
-
Each subsequent scaling request also requires a minimum of 2 months of trading activity
-
The 20% simulated profit must be shown in the closed balance at the time of the scaling request
- Profits from previous levels do not carry forward, you must earn 20% new profit at each level in order to scale. Profit from previous levels is not counted towards the next level, meaning you cannot “skip” levels.
-
Scaling requests are subject to internal risk review
In addition to the above, the usual condition of the account being flat (no open trades) must be met when making a scaling request. All relevant information on scale levels and conditions is also available on the Funded Trading Plus website.
Please note: the account size does not double at each level. Please refer to the scale levels below

Evaluation & Account Timing
All accounts offer no time limits to complete evaluations or trade the FT+ Trader Simulated Live accounts. The only restriction is account activity, meaning you must keep your account active in any 30-day calendar period. In order to do this, you must place at least one trade (both open and close) in any 30-day period, to keep your account active. This applies to all evaluations and all FT+ Trader Simulated Live accounts
If the account is not active within the 30-day period, this will result in a hard breach of the account. Please note, you will receive an email 7 days before your 30-day inactivity period, explaining you need to place a trade on your account to reset the 30-day limit.
Please note, this is a Swap Free program, across any available platform.
*16:59 EST will change when Daylight Savings Time comes into effect.
