The classic evaluation, built around consistency
The 2 Step Challenge is PropLynq's flagship path to a funded account. Two phases with moderate targets reward traders who manage risk day after day, not one lucky week, and the loss limits leave a sound strategy room to breathe.
You trade an MT5 account at an approved broker you choose — the Bring Your Own Broker model — while PropLynq tracks every rule live on your dashboard. Pass both phases, verify your identity and you move to the funded stage.
- Two moderate targets instead of one big one
- A fixed 10% floor measured from your starting balance
- First payout 21 days after your first funded trade, then every 14 days
- Scale toward $4M through the scaling plan
How the Two-Phase Evaluation Works

Profit Targets, Drawdown & Trading Rules
These limits come straight from the PropLynq 2 step prop firm challenge engine: the same numbers your dashboard enforces, with no hidden conditions.
Phase 1 target
8%
Grow the Phase 1 account by 8% to move on to Phase 2. There is no profit cap: reaching the target simply completes the phase.
Phase 2 target
5%
Reach 5% in Phase 2 to complete the evaluation. Where a limit differs between the phases, its card shows both values.
Daily loss limit
5%
Your equity may not fall more than 5% below the balance your account started the trading day with. The day follows your broker's server time, floating P&L counts, and the limit resets with every new day.
Max drawdown
10%
A fixed floor 10% below your starting balance, open positions included. It never trails your profits, so every gain gives you more room to trade.
Min trading days
5 days
Trade on at least 5 separate days per phase. A day counts when you open or close at least one trade on it.
Time limit
Unlimited
This is the full window you have to pass. When it reads Unlimited there is no deadline: just open at least one trade every 30 days so the account stays active.
Leverage
1:100
The maximum leverage on this account. Leverage on individual instruments at your broker can be lower.
Profit split
80% → 95%
Your share of the profit on every funded payout. The split add-on raises it to 95% at checkout. The scaling plan can improve it over time.
Consistency rule
Not required
When a best-day limit is shown, your most profitable day must stay within that share of your total profit before the evaluation can pass. Going over it never fails the account: you simply keep trading until the ratio is back within the limit. When it reads Not required, there is no such condition.

2 Step Challenge questions, answered
What is the 2 Step Challenge?
It is PropLynq's two-phase evaluation. You reach 8% profit in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2 while staying inside a 5% daily and 10% overall loss limit. Pass both and you receive a funded account that pays 80% of the profit.
How long do I have to pass?
The time limit is shown in the rules above; when it reads Unlimited there is no deadline on either phase. You only need at least 5 trading days per phase, and at least one new trade every 30 days to keep the account active.
How is the maximum drawdown calculated?
It is a fixed floor 10% below your initial balance and includes floating P&L. It does not move up with your profits, so every gain adds to the room you have.
Which broker and platform do I trade on?
You trade on MetaTrader 5 with an approved broker of your choice. Enter your MT5 demo account credentials in the PropLynq dashboard and rule monitoring starts automatically, read-only, without touching your trades.
Can I trade the news, hold over the weekend or use EAs?
The permissions for this challenge are listed above under trading permissions. On every challenge, copying trades from someone else's account, latency arbitrage and letting a third party trade your account are not allowed.
What profit split do I get?
The funded account starts at 80%. You can raise it to 95% with the split add-on at checkout. The scaling plan can increase it over time.
When can I request my first payout?
Your first payout becomes available 21 days after your first trade on the funded account, then every 14 days. It also refunds 100% of your challenge fee.
What happens if I break a rule?
The attempt ends and the account stops being evaluated. Nothing else is owed, and you can start a new challenge at any time, on any size or challenge type.
Not sure the 2 Step Challenge fits your trading?
Every PropLynq challenge gives you the same broker freedom, the same live dashboard and crypto payouts. What changes is the path to funding and the rules along the way.
