2-Step Pro V2
12 articlesThe leverage available on 2 Step Pro V2 accounts depends on the account stage.
Leverage is higher during the evaluation stage and reduced once the account becomes funded.
| Asset Class | Evaluation Leverage | Funded Leverage |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | 100:1 | 50:1 |
| Indices | 20:1 | 5:1 |
| Commodities | 20:1 | 5:1 |
| Crypto | 2:1 | 1:1 |
Evaluation Leverage
During the evaluation phases, traders receive higher leverage to complete the challenge.
| Asset Class | Leverage |
|---|---|
| Forex | 100:1 |
| Indices | 20:1 |
| Commodities | 20:1 |
| Crypto | 2:1 |
This applies during:
- Phase 1
- Phase 2
Funded Leverage
Once the trader reaches the funded stage, leverage is reduced.
| Asset Class | Leverage |
|---|---|
| Forex | 50:1 |
| Indices | 5:1 |
| Commodities | 5:1 |
| Crypto | 1:1 |
This helps manage risk and supports more sustainable funded trading.
Why Leverage Changes After Evaluation
The evaluation phase is designed to test trading performance and rule compliance.
The funded phase is designed for long-term account management, payout eligibility, and sustainable trading behavior.
For this reason, funded accounts operate with lower leverage than evaluation accounts.
At Top One Trader, traders may manage multiple accounts, as long as they remain within the maximum allocation rules.
For 2 Step Pro V2, the maximum initial allocation is increased to $600,000 per individual or household.
Maximum Initial Capital Allocation
The maximum initial funded allocation for 2 Step Pro V2 is:
This limit applies across all funded accounts held by the same individual or household.
Can I Open Multiple Accounts?
Yes, traders may open and manage multiple accounts.
However, the total combined funded capital across all accounts must not exceed the $600,000 maximum allocation limit for 2 Step Pro V2.
Example Account Combinations
Here are examples of account combinations that would remain within the $600,000 allocation limit:
| Account Combination | Total Allocation |
|---|---|
| Six $100K accounts | $600,000 |
| Two $150K accounts and Three $100K account | $600,000 |
| Two $150K account, two $100K accounts, and two $50K account | $600,000 |
| Twelve $50K accounts | $600,000 |
The number of accounts may vary, but the combined funded allocation cannot exceed $600,000.
Individual and Household Limit
The maximum allocation applies per:
This means traders may not bypass the allocation limit by opening additional accounts under another person in the same household.
Scaling Opportunity
2 Step Pro V2 traders may be eligible to scale beyond their initial allocation based on performance.
The maximum scaling capital available on 2 Step Pro V2 is:
Scaling is performance based and may require traders to meet specific profit, consistency, payout, and risk management requirements.
How Scaling Works
- Every 3 months, when you achieve a total gain of 25 % (with at least 8% gain in each month), you can request a scaling of your account.
- Once verified, Top One Trader will increase your capital by 25% of your initial account balance.
You are not required to retain your gains to be eligible for scaling. While keeping gains in your account can expedite the scaling process, you are free to withdraw your profits each month. As long as you achieve a 25% gain over the 3-month period, you will still qualify for scaling.
Compounding
Compounding allows an account balance to grow as profits are generated and retained in the account.
There is no fixed cap on organic account growth through trading performance.
As long as the account remains active and all rules are followed, profits may continue to increase the account balance.
Maximum Allocation vs Scaling
- Maximum Initial Allocation
- Maximum funded capital a trader can hold before scaling
- Scaling Capital
- Additional capital that may be granted through the scaling plan
- Compounding
- Organic account growth from retained profits
For 2 Step Pro V2:
Important Notes
| Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| Maximum allocation | $600,000 per individual or household |
| Multiple accounts | Allowed within the allocation limit |
| Scaling | Available up to $5,000,000 |
| Compounding | Account balance may grow through retained profits |
| Rule compliance | Scaling does not override account rules |
Summary
For 2 Step Pro V2:
| Rule | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Maximum Initial Allocation | $600,000 |
| Multiple Accounts | Allowed |
| Household Limit | $600,000 |
| Scaling Potential | Up to $5,000,000 |
| Compounding | Allowed through retained profits |
The 2 Step Pro V2 model gives traders access to a higher initial allocation than the standard Top One Trader allocation limit, while also providing the opportunity to scale further based on consistent performance.
Trading around major news events carries increased risk due to volatility, slippage, delayed execution, and market gaps.
The News Trading Rule is designed to protect funded accounts from excessive risk during high-impact news events.
Where the News Rule Applies
During all challenge phases, traders may trade during news events without restrictions.
Once funded, news trading restrictions apply.
Funded News Restriction Window
On funded 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, traders may not execute or close trades within the restricted news window.
The restricted window is:
- 5 minutes before a high-impact news event
- 5 minutes after a high-impact news event
Total restricted window:
What Counts as Executing a Trade?
The following actions are not allowed during the restricted news window:
- Opening a new trade
- Closing an existing trade
- Executing a market order
- Opening or closing a pending order
- Placing buy stop or sell stop orders
- Placing limit orders
- Modifying a stop loss
- Modifying a take profit
Any of these actions during the restricted window may be considered a violation.
Holding Trades During News
You are allowed to hold trades during a high-impact news event if the trade was opened before the restricted window begins.
However, unless the news trading exception applies:
- If your trade is closed during the restricted window, it is a violation
- If your stop loss is triggered during the restricted window, it is a violation
- If your take profit is triggered during the restricted window, it is a violation
- If you manually close the trade during the restricted window, it is a violation
News Trading Exception
If a trade was opened at least 5 hours before the high-impact news event, the trade may remain open during the restricted window.
In this case:
- Stop Loss may be triggered during the restricted window without violating the rule
- Take Profit may be triggered during the restricted window without violating the rule
However, manual trade actions are still not allowed during the restricted window.
This means you may not manually close, open, or modify trades during the 5 minutes before or 5 minutes after the news event.
High-Impact News Events
Only high-impact news events that directly affect the instrument being traded are restricted.
You may trade during:
- Low-impact news
- Medium-impact news
- High-impact news that does not directly affect the instrument being traded
However, all major U.S. high-impact news events affect all trading instruments.
Examples include:
- Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decisions
- FOMC Statements and Meetings
- Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)
- U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI)
- Any other high-impact U.S. news event
In general, if it is a high-impact U.S. news event, it applies across all trading pairs and instruments.
News Calendars Used
To determine whether an event is high-impact, traders should refer to the official calendar used by Top One Trader:
If the calendar marks an event as high-impact, it falls under the News Trading Rule.
What Happens If the Rule Is Violated?
A first news trading violation is generally treated as a soft breach.
This means:
- The account may remain open
- Profits from the violating trade may be deducted
- The payout request may be affected
- The violation may be recorded on the account
Repeated violations may result in stricter action, including account termination or hard breach.
Disclaimer
By holding trades during a major news event, traders acknowledge and accept the risks involved.
These risks include:
- Slippage
- Market gaps
- Delayed execution
- Increased volatility
- Wider spreads
Top One Trader is not responsible for losses caused by volatility, slippage, or execution issues during news events.
Traders remain responsible for managing their own risk at all times.
The Profitable Trading Days rule is designed to ensure traders demonstrate consistent activity before passing each evaluation phase.
For 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, traders must complete 3 profitable trading days in each phase.
Requirement
To pass Phase 1 or Phase 2 or to qualify for a payout on the funded stage, you must complete:
- Minimum 3 profitable trading days
- Each profitable trading day must generate at least 0.5% profit
This applies to all 2 Step Pro V2 account sizes and stages.
| Account Size | Minimum Profit Per Profitable Trading Day |
|---|---|
| $5,000 | $25 |
| $10,000 | $50 |
| $25,000 | $125 |
| $50,000 | $250 |
| $100,000 | $500 |
| $150,000 | $750 |
| $300,000 | $1,500 |
How It Works
A trading day only counts as a profitable trading day if the account closes the day with at least 0.5% profit.
- A day with $500 profit or more counts
- A day with $300 profit does not count
- A losing day does not count
- A breakeven day does not count
To pass Phase 1, traders must:
- Reach the 8% profit target
- Complete 3 profitable trading days
- Follow all account rules
Reaching the profit target alone is not enough if the profitable trading day requirement has not been completed.
To pass Phase 2, traders must:
- Reach the 5% profit target
- Complete 3 profitable trading days
- Follow all account rules
The profitable trading day requirement resets when moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2.
A trader has a $50,000 2 Step Pro V2 account.
The minimum required profit per profitable trading day is:
| Day | Profit | Counts as Profitable Trading Day? |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | $400 | Yes |
| Day 2 | $250 | Yes |
| Day 3 | $150 | No |
| Day 4 | $300 | Yes |
In this example, the trader has completed 3 profitable trading days.
A soft breach is a rule violation that does not immediately result in the loss of the account.
Instead, a soft breach is recorded on the account, and the trader may usually continue trading as long as the maximum number of soft breaches has not been reached.
For 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, traders are allowed a maximum of 8 soft breaches.
Soft Breach Limit
Once the account reaches the maximum number of allowed soft breaches, the account may be breached, restricted, or become ineligible to continue.
What Counts as a Soft Breach?
A soft breach may occur when a trader violates a rule that requires account protection or compliance action, but does not immediately trigger a hard breach.
This may include:
- EquityShield being triggered on one symbol
- EquityShield being triggered across combined open positions
- Stop loss not being active
- overriding the max lot size
EquityShield Soft Breaches
EquityShield soft breaches are the most common type of soft breach.
If floating loss on one symbol reaches 2% of the starting balance, EquityShield may automatically close all open trades on that symbol.
This is considered a soft breach.
If combined floating loss across all open positions reaches 2.5% of the starting balance, EquityShield may automatically close all open trades across all symbols.
This is also considered a soft breach.
What Happens After a Soft Breach?
After a soft breach:
- The violation is recorded on the account
- The affected trades may be closed automatically
- The trader may usually continue trading
- The account must still remain within the Daily Loss Limit and Maximum Loss Limit
A soft breach does not reset the account and does not remove existing risk limits.
Soft Breach vs Hard Breach
Violation recorded, trader may usually continue trading
Account is failed, terminated, or no longer eligible to continue
Soft breaches are designed to help protect the account before a more serious violation occurs.
Funded 2 Step Pro V2 traders may request a payout once all payout eligibility requirements have been met.
Payout Frequency
Payouts are available on a bi-weekly basis by default.
Weekly payouts may be available if the trader purchased the weekly payout add-on.
This means traders can request payouts every two weeks by default, provided the account meets all payout rules.
Minimum Payout Requirement
To request a payout, your account must have generated at least:
The account must have at least 3% profit available before a payout request can be submitted.
| Account Size | Minimum Payout Requirement |
|---|---|
| $5,000 | $150 |
| $10,000 | $300 |
| $25,000 | $750 |
| $50,000 | $1,500 |
| $100,000 | $3,000 |
| $150,000 | $4,500 |
| $300,000 | $9,000 |
Maximum Payout Per Request
Each payout request is limited to 6% of the account size, up to a maximum of $15,000 per payout request.
| Account Size | 6% Payout Cap | Max Payout Per Request |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $300 | $300 |
| $10,000 | $600 | $600 |
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $6,000 |
| $150,000 | $9,000 | $9,000 |
| $300,000 | $18,000 | $15,000 |
For account sizes where 6% exceeds $15,000, the maximum payout per request is capped at $15,000.
Profit Split
2 Step Pro V2 funded accounts have a base profit split of:
The final payout amount depends on the applicable profit split on the account.
Requirements Before Requesting a Payout
Before submitting a payout request, the account must meet all requirements below:
- Complete at least 3 profitable trading daysA profitable trading day is any trading day that closes with a net profit of at least 0.5% of your initial account balance
- Minimum payout requirement of 3% must be reached
- Payout request must follow the correct payout frequency
- Account must not have breached the Daily Loss Limit
- Account must not have breached the Maximum Loss Limit
- Account must comply with the News Trading Rule
- Trades must comply with the 5-minute minimum trade duration rule
- All profits must be closed and reflected in the account balance
There is no consistency rule on funded 2 Step Pro V2 accounts.
This means payout eligibility is not based on a largest winning day percentage.
However, all other payout and risk requirements must still be satisfied.
100% of the evaluation fee is refunded on the 4th approved payout.
This refund is not issued on the first, second, or third payout.
A trader has a $100,000 funded account.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Minimum Payout Requirement | 3% |
| Minimum Profit Needed | $3,000 |
| Complete at least 3 profitable trading days | At least 0.5% of your initial account balance (e.g., $500 on a $100,000 account) |
| Max Payout Cap | 6% |
| Max Payout Per Request | $6,000 |
| Standard Frequency | Bi-Weekly |
Once the trader has at least $3,000 in eligible closed profit and the bi-weekly payout window is available, they may submit a payout request.
If the trader requests more than $6,000, the payout will be capped at $6,000.
The 2 Step PRO v2 reset feature allows traders to restart their account after it becomes breached. This provides flexibility and allows traders to continue from the stage they previously reached instead of always starting from the beginning.
Resets are available for Phase 1, Phase 2, and Funded accounts, with pricing depending on the stage of the account.
The further the account has progressed, the higher the reset price, because the trader is able to bypass earlier phases of the evaluation.
Reset Availability
| Account Stage | Result After Reset |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 | New Phase 1 account |
| Phase 2 | New Phase 2 account |
| Funded | New funded account (Not available if the account has received an approved payout) |
- A reset can only be requested after an account has been breached and must be completed within 14 days of the breach.
- Funded Accounts that have received an approved payout are not eligible for a reset.
Once breached, the account becomes inactive and trading is no longer possible until the reset is completed.
How Resets Work by Phase
If a trader breaches their Phase 1 account and chooses to reset it:
- The trader will receive a new Phase 1 account
- The account will restart from the beginning of Phase 1
- This reset is the lowest priced reset option
If a trader breaches their Phase 2 account and resets it:
- The trader will receive a new Phase 2 account
- Phase 1 does not need to be completed again
- The trader continues directly from Phase 2
Because this reset skips Phase 1, it is priced slightly higher than a Phase 1 reset.
If a trader breaches their funded account and chooses to reset it:
- The trader will receive a new funded account
- Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 are skipped
- Trading can resume immediately on the funded stage
Because the trader bypasses both evaluation phases, funded resets are priced higher than challenge resets.
Note: Funded accounts that have received an approved payout are not eligible for a funded reset.
| Account Size | Phase 1 Reset | Phase 2 Reset | Funded Reset |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5K | $11 | $36 | $96 |
| 10K | $44 | $147 | $392 |
| 25K | $76 | $252 | $672 |
| 50K | $157 | $522 | $1,392 |
| 100K | $244 | $813 | $2,168 |
| 150K | $389 | $1,296 | $3,456 |
| 300K | $629 | $2,097 | $5,592 |
When a Reset Can Be Used
A reset may be used when an account becomes breached, for example due to:
- Maximum drawdown breach
- Daily loss limit breach
- Max soft breach limit
Once breached, trading is disabled on the account until it is reset.
What Happens During a Reset
When a reset is applied:
- A new fresh account is created
- The starting balance resets to the original amount
- Equity and drawdown levels reset
- Profit progress resets to zero
- All rules and parameters return to default
The new account will start at the same stage that was reset.
Important Notes
- Resets do not act as refunds
- Resetting an account does not change trading rules
- Phase resets allow traders to restart from the same stage they breached
- Funded resets allow traders to skip both evaluation phases
- Reset availability does not guarantee successful completion of the program
- Resets can be done within 14 days of breaching the account
- Funded Accounts with an approved payout are not eligible for a reset.
- Any purchased add-ons will not carry over to the reset account
How to Reset Your Account

The Daily Loss Limit, also known as the Daily Drawdown, defines the maximum amount your account may lose within a single trading day.
For 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, the Daily Loss Limit is 4% of the initial account balance across all account sizes.
| Account Size | Daily Loss Limit | Daily Loss Amount |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 4% | $200 |
| $10,000 | 4% | $400 |
| $25,000 | 4% | $1,000 |
| $50,000 | 4% | $2,000 |
| $100,000 | 4% | $4,000 |
| $150,000 | 4% | $6,000 |
How to Calculate Your Daily Loss Limit
Every trader has a Daily Loss Limit.
- At 5:00 PM EST each day, the daily breach level is calculated by taking the higher value of your account balance, or account equity.
- Then, the fixed Daily Loss Limit amount is subtracted. For 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, this means:
Account Size Amount Subtracted $5K $200 $10K $400 $25K $1,000 $50K $2,000 $100K $4,000 $150K $6,000 - This creates the minimum equity level your account must stay above for the next trading day.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Initial Account Balance | $100,000 |
| Open Trade Floating Profit | $4,000 |
| Account Equity at 5:00 PM EST | $105,000 |
| Daily Loss Amount | $4,000 |
Since equity is higher than balance, the Daily Loss Limit is calculated from the account equity.
Your equity cannot drop below $101,000 during the next trading day.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Initial Account Balance | $100,000 |
| Open Trade Floating Loss | $1,000 |
| Account Equity at 5:00 PM EST | $99,000 |
| Account Balance at 5:00 PM EST | $100,000 |
| Daily Loss Amount | $4,000 |
Since the balance is higher than equity, the Daily Loss Limit is calculated from the account balance.
Your equity cannot drop below $96,000 during the next trading day.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Account Balance at 5:00 PM EST | $105,000 |
| Account Equity at 5:00 PM EST | $105,000 |
| Daily Loss Amount | $4,000 |
With no open trades, balance and equity are the same.
Your equity cannot drop below $101,000 during the next trading day.
The following are included:
- Closed losses
- Floating losses
- Commissions
- Swap or trading fees where applicable
Both balance and equity are monitored.
Daily Reset
The Daily Loss Limit resets each trading day at 5:00 PM EST.
At the reset:
- The higher of balance or equity is recorded
- The fixed Daily Loss Limit amount is subtracted
- A new breach level is created for the next trading day
Daily Loss Limit vs Maximum Loss Limit
Purpose: Controls how much can be lost in one trading day
Purpose: Controls the total maximum loss allowed on the account
Both rules apply at the same time.
A trader must stay within both the Daily Loss Limit and the Maximum Loss Limit.
After analyzing thousands of trader accounts, we found that one of the most common reasons traders lose their challenge or funded accounts is excessive floating drawdown.
A large portion of hard breaches happen when traders allow losing positions to remain open for too long, eventually causing the account to breach the Daily Loss Limit or Maximum Loss Limit.
EquityShield is designed to help reduce this risk.
It monitors your account equity in real time and helps protect your account from excessive open losses.
Why EquityShield Exists
Our data shows that consistently profitable traders usually manage risk by:
- Cutting losing trades quickly
- Avoiding excessive floating drawdown
- Letting profitable trades develop within controlled risk
- Protecting account capital before losses become too large
EquityShield supports better risk management by automatically limiting excessive open losses before they become more serious.
How EquityShield Works
EquityShield protects your account in two ways:
- Individual Symbol Protection
- Combined Open P&L Protection
Both rules are based on your starting balance.
1. EquityShield for Individual Symbols
EquityShield sets a maximum allowable floating loss on one symbol.
If the floating drawdown from one or multiple positions on the same symbol reaches 2% of the starting balance, all open trades on that symbol will, in most cases, be automatically closed.
This is considered a soft breach, meaning you may continue trading immediately after the trades are closed.
You have four open trades on XAUUSD.
The maximum floating loss allowed on that symbol is:
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2% of $100,000 | $2,000 |
If the combined floating loss on XAUUSD reaches $2,000, EquityShield will, in most cases, automatically close all open XAUUSD trades.
Your equity would be reduced to approximately $98,000, excluding commissions, slippage, or execution differences.
2. EquityShield for Combined Open P&L
EquityShield also monitors your combined floating drawdown across all open trades and symbols.
If your total floating drawdown across all open positions reaches 2.5% of the starting balance, EquityShield will, in most cases, automatically close all open trades across all symbols.
This is also considered a soft breach, meaning you may continue trading immediately after the trades are closed.
You have:
- 2 open trades on AUDUSD
- 1 open trade on EURUSD
The maximum combined floating loss allowed is:
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2.5% of $100,000 | $2,500 |
If your account equity drops to $97,500 due to combined floating losses, EquityShield will, in most cases, automatically close all open trades.
EquityShield Limits
Soft Breach Limit
EquityShield violations are considered soft breaches.
For 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, the maximum allowed soft breaches is:
Once the maximum soft breach limit is reached, the account may be breached or restricted from continuing.
Important Disclaimer
EquityShield is a risk management tool, not a guaranteed stop loss.
There may be rare situations where EquityShield does not trigger exactly as expected due to market conditions, including:
- High volatility
- Low liquidity
- Slippage
- Delayed execution
- Fast market movement
Because of this, traders should never rely on EquityShield as their primary risk management method.
You should always manage your own risk, use proper stop losses, and aim to close or reduce losing trades before EquityShield is activated.
Risk Team Review
The Top One Trader Risk Team may adjust EquityShield levels as part of a risk review.
This may happen when trading behavior shows excessive risk, repeated exposure issues, or other activity that requires additional account protection.
The Maximum Loss Limit, also known as the Max Drawdown, defines the maximum total loss allowed on the account.
For 2 Step Pro V2 accounts, the Maximum Loss Limit is static.
This means the drawdown does not trail as the account grows.
| Account Size | Maximum Loss Limit | Breach Level |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | 9% | $4,550 |
| $10,000 | 9% | $9,100 |
| $25,000 | 9% | $22,750 |
| $50,000 | 9% | $45,500 |
| $100,000 | 9% | $91,000 |
| $150,000 | 9% | $136,500 |
What Static Drawdown Means
A static drawdown stays fixed from the start of the account.
It does not move up when the account makes profit.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Starting Balance | $100,000 |
| Maximum Loss Limit | 9% |
| Maximum Allowed Loss | $9,000 |
| Breach Level | $91,000 |
Even if the account grows to $105,000, the breach level remains:
This gives traders more room as profits are built, since the drawdown level does not trail upward.
How the Rule Works
The Maximum Loss Limit applies throughout the account.
If the account balance or equity reaches or falls below the breach level, the account violates the Maximum Loss Limit.
This includes:
- Closed losses
- Floating losses
- Commissions
- Swap or trading fees where applicable
A trader has a $50,000 2 Step Pro V2 account.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Starting Balance | $50,000 |
| Maximum Loss Limit | 9% |
| Maximum Allowed Loss | $4,500 |
| Breach Level | $45,500 |
If the account balance or equity reaches $45,500, the account is breached.
If the account grows to $53,000, the breach level still remains $45,500.
Static Drawdown vs Trailing Drawdown
Breach level stays fixed
Breach level moves upward as the account grows
The 2 Step Pro V2 uses static drawdown, not trailing drawdown.
This plan is designed for traders who want a structured two phase evaluation with static drawdown, high evaluation leverage, clear risk limits, and access to funded payouts once both phases are completed.
