What is the Challenge Funding?

A Prop Firm Challenge is like a trading audition. It’s a test used by proprietary trading firms to evaluate your trading skills, risk management, and consistency.

You trade on a simulated account using virtual capital (you pay a fee, not risk your own money). Your goal is to hit a profit target while staying within the drawdown limits. If you pass, you’re given access to a real funded account to trade with the firm’s capital.

The main difference lies in the number of phases, drawdown rules, and profit targets required to pass:

1-Step Challenge

Only one phase to complete
5% Trailing Drawdown
No Daily Drawdown limit
Profit target: 8%
Profit Share: 80%

2-Step Challenge

Two phases to complete
10% Total Drawdown
5% Daily Drawdown limit
Profit targets: 10% in Phase 1, then 5% in Phase 2
Profit Share: 80%

The CTI VIP Program is an exclusive, performance-based reward program designed for traders who demonstrate profitability and disciplined risk management.

To qualify, you must maintain your funded account over time without breaching any rules.

Once you become a CTI VIP trader, you unlock premium benefits, including:

  • Up to 100% Profit Share – Keep everything you earn.

  • Faster Payouts – Weekly and anytime payouts.

  • Exclusive Perks & Bonuses – Tailored rewards for top-performing traders only.
