Everything you need to know
The duration of the challenge period is calculated after the first trade is opened.
The first stage of the challenge is 30 calendar days and the second stage of the challenge is 60 calendar days.
The first stage can be completed in at least 5 trading days and the second stage in 5 trading days.
After passing the first stage, you can activate the second stage of your challenge by registering a ticket.
To pass the second stage and start a real account, you must also register a ticket.
Challenge without time limit:
To receive the unlimited challenge feature, the user must activate the relevant option during the initial payment stage and finalize the payment.
If this option is not selected during purchase, it is not possible to add the unlimited feature in the middle or at the end of the challenge. In this case, the user must create a new challenge with this feature.
The first stage requires 5 trading days. After completing the trading days, you can submit the application for the second stage.
In the second stage, you also need at least 5 trading days to pass the challenge.
If a trader opens his trade on Tuesday and closes his trade on Friday, in this case only one trading day will be counted, which will be the day the trade is opened.
There are thirty calendar days from the time of account submission to start the challenge, and if the trader does not open his first trade within these 30 calendar days, the purchased challenge will expire.
After the end of the first stage of the challenge, there is a 10-day period to register a request to upgrade to the second stage.
After entering the second stage of the challenge, there is a 10-day period to open the first trade.
If the challenge is not activated within the specified time, the challenge will be closed.
The target for the first stage is 10% profit and the target for the second stage is also 10% profit.
After reaching the desired target in each stage (the minimum trading days in each stage is 5 days), notify support via ticket.
The rules for total and daily drawdowns are applied in the first stage of the challenge, the second stage of the challenge and the real account.
In calculating the total and daily drawdowns, losses are not added together. In other words, if a trader loses 2% in a trade, then makes a profit of 6% and loses 3% again, his drawdown has not been made. Because in total, his account is in profit by 1%.
If a trader’s equity or balance exceeds the drawdown and then returns to profit, the rules have been violated. In other words, the account equity should not exceed 5% daily and 10% of the total balance. If it exceeds this, the rules have been violated and the trader loses his account.
Daily Drawdown is calculated based on the account balance at the beginning of the day and is 5%. The equity or account balance should not exceed this amount.
Please note that the daily drawdown is different each day compared to the previous day and is calculated for each day separately and at 11pm every night. However, the overall drawdown is always fixed.
Please note that the daily drawdown is calculated based on the balance at the beginning of the day. The balance at the beginning of the day can be seen in the assets section of the trading market under the heading “Daily Balance”.
Maximum Drawdown is calculated based on the initial account balance and is 10%. This means that the account drawdown is fixed at 10% of the initial balance and the account balance or equity should not exceed it. (If you earned 2% profit on the account, your drawdown is currently 12%.)
If a trader fails to reach the desired profit level within the allotted time frame in the first stage of the challenge, he/she can use the reset challenge feature.
In case of resetting the challenge, an account with the same initial balance and new term as the initial account will be assigned to the trader.
Conditions for registering a reset request:
- The account must be in profit. (The profit amount does not matter)
- The rules related to Drawdon have not been violated.
- 5 trading days have been completed.
The challenge deadline has ended.
If the account is in profit at the end of the 30-day deadline of the first stage of the challenge or after it has been extended, the account will be reset.
The account reset feature can only be used once.
In order to be able to reset your trading account, you need to register a ticket in the system.
Extend is only possible in the first stage of the challenge and after the request, 10 days are added to the challenge deadline. The trader can only send an extend request once in the first stage and if he resets the request after the extend, he cannot request an extension for the new account.
Extension conditions:
- The account is in profit. (The amount of profit does not matter)
- The rules related to Drawdown have not been violated.
- 5 days of trading have been completed.
- The challenge deadline has ended.

High-risk trades on the sdf platform include:
Achieving 80% profit through a single trade: If a trader achieves 80% of the desired target (10%) in a single trade; the trader’s position is considered a high-risk trade and will be removed from the challenge.
For example: If a $10,000 challenge where the desired target for each step is 10% ($1,000) the trader makes a profit of $800 in a single position, this position is considered high-risk and will be removed from the challenge.
Please note that any attempt to achieve the 80% Profit Target through unauthorized methods is a violation of the platform’s regulations and will result in the removal of the relevant positions. Examples of this violation include the following:
If a user achieves a total of 80% of the profit target in a position by reducing the volume (Reduce) at different prices, this action is considered a violation and the position will be deleted from the user’s account.
If a user simultaneously opens multiple positions in a cryptocurrency and in the same direction (Long or Short) within a specified time period and their total profit reaches 80% of the target, this is also against the rules and all related positions will be deleted.
High-risk transactions in a real account:
If a trader in a real account achieves 80% of the profit from transactions in a position, the desired profit will be removed from the position at the time of withdrawal and the remaining profit amount will be credited to the user’s account.
There is no need to pay a new fee to receive a real account.
Receiving a real account may take up to 72 hours after registering a real account request.
To receive a real account, the trader must verify his identity. For identification, a valid identification document, such as a passport, national ID card or birth certificate, is required, the image of which must be uploaded to the user panel.
Note that real capital is in circulation in real accounts and if the real account is inactive for 30 days, the trader’s account will be unavailable to him.
If a user can get more than one real account, they can combine their accounts and get an account equal to their sum.
For example, a user purchased a $10,000 account and a $5,000 account and managed to get a real account in both challenges. In this situation, the user can get a $15,000 account instead of having two $10,000 and $5,000 accounts. In this situation, the daily and total drawdowns are measured based on the initial $15,000.
- If a user wants to use this feature and combine their accounts, they must register their request in a ticket.
- The maximum balance of an account can be $25,000.
Traders on a real account can withdraw up to 80% of the account’s profit. To receive their profit, traders must register their request.
