Challenges & Evaluations

How the Evaluation Works: Profit Target and Phases

Learn how a Funded with Flow evaluation works: hit your plan's profit target across the required trading days while staying within the account rules, then pass to a funded account.

~2 min read Last reviewed: July 13, 2026

An evaluation is a paid challenge account where you trade to hit a profit target while staying within that account's rules. Reach the target across the required trading days without breaking a rule, and you pass to a funded account with a 100 percent profit split.

The profit target

Every challenge gives you one clear goal: grow the account by its profit target. You trade simulated stocks, futures, and multi leg options on live, real time market data, and the platform tracks your progress toward the goal for you.

The exact target, along with the account size it is measured against, varies by plan. You will find the live number on each plan card on the Pricing page, and once you start, on your Accounts page and Dashboard.

Phases and trading days

Most plans ask you to hit the target across a minimum number of qualifying trading days rather than in a single session, so the evaluation reflects consistency and not one lucky trade. Some plans also apply consistency rules, which ask for a set number of days where you meet a daily goal.

How many trading days you need, and the specific structure of your challenge, vary by plan and are shown on the plan card and in your account details. If you would rather skip the evaluation entirely, the Instant Sim Funded option starts you funded without a challenge. Compare the choices on the Pricing page.

Staying within the rules while you push

Hitting the target only counts if the account stays alive. Each challenge carries rules such as a daily loss limit and a maximum drawdown, and breaking a hard rule can fail or liquidate the account. No Drawdown plans do not liquidate on drawdown; they use a maximum exposure cap instead.

Because these figures differ across plans, always check your account and the Trading Rules so you know your limits before you trade.

When you pass

Pass the evaluation and you move to a funded account, where payouts come from and where you keep your full profit share at a 100 percent profit split. You can review eligibility and request payouts on the Payouts page.
