1-Phase vs 2-Phase Evaluation
Most prop firms offer a one-phase and a two-phase evaluation. The right choice depends on your strategy, your budget and how fast you want to be funded.
One-phase
A one-phase challenge has a single profit target, typically 10%, that funds you in one stage. It's faster and simpler, with a slightly higher fee.
Two-phase
A two-phase challenge splits the target across two stages (for example 8% then 5%) at a lower fee. It takes a little longer but costs less upfront.
Which to choose
Choose one-phase if you want the fastest route to funding and value simplicity. Choose two-phase if you want the lowest fee and don't mind a second stage.
