How the 1 Phase Challenge works
From purchase to funded account — four clear steps in one evaluation phase.
- 1
Choose your account & pay the fee
Select the capital level that matches your plan. A single fee opens your evaluation account.
- 2
Receive your access
Get your MT5 credentials and dashboard to monitor objectives, drawdowns and trading days. You also get fundamental analysis from our analysts.
- 3
Trade the evaluation
Reach the profit target while staying within daily and total loss limits, and meet minimum active days.
- 4
Become funded & earn rewards
After passing, continue under funded rules with performance-based rewards (e.g. 90% to you).
Why traders choose this format
Less complexity doesn’t mean fewer standards. It means a cleaner evaluation focused on what actually matters: process and risk.
One objective. Less noise.
A single performance target keeps the focus on execution quality instead of “gaming” multi-stage constraints.
Risk is measurable.
Daily and total loss limits create a stable framework. If the limits are respected, the evaluation stays predictable.
Rules stay readable.
You should be able to understand the program in minutes, and trade it for weeks without surprises.
Progressive scaling plan
Grow your allocation progressively, based on performance and rule compliance.
The real questions.
The real answers.
No jargon.
What do I risk?
Only your access fee, paid once. You trade on a simulated account: no deposit, no real money invested, and you can never lose more than what you paid. Swiss Trade Funding is not a broker and holds no funds for you.
Learn moreAre there hidden rules?
No. Risk limits, objectives, and payout conditions are documented before purchase. If it’s not in the published rules, it isn’t used to refuse a valid request.
Learn moreWhen can I request my first payout?
First payout after one month, then every two weeks. Subject to program rules.
Learn moreI passed my challenge — what now?
Your funded account is activated. Same rules, same platform. No new conditions appear. After one month, you request your first payout: 90% of your profits, plus a full refund of your challenge fee. After that, you request payouts every two weeks.
Learn moreAre there any other fees?
No. Your access fee is paid once: no subscription, no monthly fees. The only possible extras are the optional add-ons offered at checkout (X2 drawdown, no risk limit).
Learn moreCan I trade economic news announcements?
Yes. No restrictions on news trading, in challenge or in funded account. You trade before, during and after. Your strategy decides.
Learn moreWhat happens if I fail the challenge?
Your challenge stops if you exceed −5% in one day or −10% in total. Your account is closed — that is the only consequence. No additional fees, no penalty. You can start a new challenge whenever you want.
Learn moreDo I need experience?
No diploma or track record is required: you just need to be 18. But be realistic: the loss limits are strict, and succeeding without a method or risk management is unlikely. If you are new, practise on a demo account and read our guides first.
Learn moreWhy Switzerland instead of Dubai or the Caribbean?
Because Swiss jurisdiction imposes real constraints on us — transparency, law that applies to European traders. It’s more demanding for us. That’s exactly why we chose it. A serious firm doesn’t need to set up where no one can hold it to account.
Learn moreHow do I become an STF trader?
You choose your account size, from 10K to 300K. You receive your MT5 credentials by email. One phase only. Target: +10%. Maximum daily loss: 5%. Maximum total loss: 10%. Minimum 5 trading days. No time limit. Challenge passed: your funded account is activated, and 90% of the profits are yours.
