How does a prop firm challenge work?#
You pay a one-time fee and get an account with published rules. The evaluation shows two things at once: that you can make money, and that you can do it with controlled risk. Pass, and you get a funded account.
The profit target measures the first. The drawdown floor, the level equity must stay above, measures the second. A consistency rule asks for profit spread over more than one day.
What is the difference between one-step and two-step?
A one-step evaluation has a single phase. A two-step evaluation adds a second phase, usually with a lower target, before funding.
One step is faster, and it is what Fullport uses. One-step vs two-step compares them in detail.

- Floor: one floor 4% below the start that trails at the UTC day close and locks at breakeven. No daily drawdown.
- Consistency: no single UTC day may be more than 55% of total profit. If one day is bigger, you simply keep trading until it is diluted.
- Time limit: none.
- Tradeable coins: pump.fun, Raydium LaunchLab and Meteora DBC launchpad coins, on the curve and after graduation.
How long does a prop firm challenge take?#
At Fullport the fastest standard pass is 2 profitable days, and there is no deadline. Two green days pass the consistency rule whenever the smaller is at least about 82% of the bigger, for example +$800 then +$700 on a $25,000 account.
The optional 1-Day Pass, chosen at checkout for the same fee, raises the target to +8% and drops the consistency rule, so a single day can pass. Take as long as you like: there is no time limit.
