Funded trading with a lower barrier
The Base Challenge is a disciplined two-phase route without the pressure of high targets. With the lowest entry fees on PropLynq, it is the natural first step for newer traders and a cost-efficient option for experienced ones.
You trade your own MT5 account at an approved broker, with every objective tracked live on your dashboard. Pass both phases, verify your identity and move to the funded stage, with the same scaling plan as our other challenge-based models.
- The lowest fees on PropLynq, from $32.99
- Smaller targets: 8%, then 4%
- A fixed 8% floor from your starting balance
- First payout 21 days after your first funded trade
Two gentle phases, then funded
The same structure as our flagship challenge, with lower targets at every step.

Lower targets, clear limits
Every number below is enforced live by the PropLynq challenge engine, exactly as you will see it on your dashboard.
Phase 1 target
8%
Reach 8% profit in Phase 1. A lower target than our 2 Step Challenge gives your strategy more breathing room.
Phase 2 target
4%
Reach 4% in Phase 2 to complete the evaluation. Where a limit differs between the phases, its card shows both values.
Daily loss limit
4%
Your equity may not fall more than 4% 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
8%
A fixed floor 8% 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.

Pass at your own pace. Wait for your best setups instead of forcing trades to beat an expiry date; just open at least one trade every 30 days.
Live rule dashboard
Profit, daily loss and drawdown headroom update in real time, so you always know exactly where you stand against every objective.
Scale toward $4M
Consistent funded traders grow their allocation by 40% after every qualifying four-month cycle, up to $4,000,000.

Base Challenge questions, answered
Who is the Base Challenge for?
Traders who want a two-phase evaluation with lower targets (8% and 4%) and the lowest fees on PropLynq, especially newer traders building a track record.
How does it compare to the 2 Step Challenge?
Both have two phases. The Base Challenge has lower targets and lower fees, with loss limits of 4% daily and 8% overall.
Is there a time limit?
The time limit is shown in the rules above; when it reads Unlimited there is no deadline on either phase. You need at least 5 trading days per phase, and at least one new trade every 30 days keeps the account active.
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.
How is the maximum drawdown calculated?
It is a fixed floor 8% below your initial balance and includes floating P&L. It does not move up with your profits.
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 Base 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.
