Best Prop Firms With 2-Step Challenges (2026)

The5ers leads our two-step ranking: 10% / 5% over two phases against a 10% static limit, for $455 at $100K. We weigh price per $1K of max loss and room per point of target. Two-phase plans are most often set at 10% + 5% (on 26% of these accounts), with a 10% median max loss across 552 accounts at 50 firms. Runners-up: FundedNext, Hola Prime and Equity Edge.

By Editorial teamListing data refreshed List prices, no promo codes

A two-step challenge splits the test into two phases. Phase 1 carries the higher profit target, phase 2 a lower one, and the loss limits stay the same in both.

95% of two-step accounts we review use a static max drawdown, against 33% of one-step accounts, and $10K of buying power costs a median $71.10 here versus $65.13 on one-step.

Method: Ranked on two-step terms (price per $1K of max loss, room per point of target, static share) blended with our score. Every firm is represented by its two-step account nearest $100K. No firm with an open warning makes the picks. We quote official list prices with no promo codes and add any fee you pay after passing.

Sorted by two-step terms: price per $1K of max loss, loss room per point of the combined target and the share of static accounts, with our overall score as 30% of the weight. A ⚠ flag means the firm carries a warning, so read its review first.

Choosing a two-step challenge

Add the two targets together. An 8% + 5% plan needs 13% of profit before funding; a 10% + 5% plan needs 15%. Set that total against the max loss: more drawdown per point of target means more room to survive a losing run.

Count the minimum days in each phase. If a firm wants several trading days per phase, that sets the fastest possible route to funding, even when you hit the target in one session.

Ask what changes after the pass. A tighter daily cap or a new consistency rule on the funded stage can slow your payouts, so read that page as closely as the challenge rules.

Use the same-firm price table. At some firms the 2-step 100K account costs less than the 1-step one; at others the gap is small.
