What the mode does, and why it exists.

Prop firms sell funded accounts. You pay a fee, trade under a set of rules, and if you hit the profit target without breaking any of them you get funded. Most attempts fail — and usually on a rule rather than on a bad read of the market.

Challenge mode rehearses that, free.

A challenge in progress

The three rules

Rule

What it means

Profit target

How much you must make to pass.

Daily loss limit

The most you may lose in a single day. Break it once and you are out.

Maximum drawdown

How far you may fall from your highest point overall.

How it differs from a normal session

Everything else is the same — same markets, same order types, same costs. What changes is that a tracker watches your rules on every candle, and a breach ends your attempt permanently.

Once you have failed, you cannot trade your way back. That is exactly how the real thing works, and it is the part worth practising.

Why it is worth doing first

A challenge fee is typically $100–$600. Failing here costs nothing and tells you the same thing — usually that your daily loss limit, not your strategy, is what needs work.
