Challenge Structure

Phase Overview

Maven Trading’s Standard line offers 3 distinct challenge paths. The 1-step challenge requires you to pass a single phase before accessing a funded account. The 2-step challenge adds a second verification phase with a lower profit target, designed to confirm that the first pass wasn’t luck. The 3-step challenge runs across 3 consecutive phases, each with a lower profit target but also a tighter drawdown limit. The Predictions line operates as a 1-step challenge with its own rule set.

In all cases, the funded account is simulated; Maven Trading explicitly states it provides services of simulated trading and that instruments are simulated and fed through liquidity providers.

The Instant account is not a challenge. There are no phases to complete; you access the funded stage directly upon purchase.

Profit Target

Profit targets differ across challenge types. The 2-step challenge uses different targets for Phase 1 and Phase 2.

1-Step Challenge: 8%, uniform across all account sizes.

2-Step Challenge:

PhaseProfit Target

The 8%/5% split applies identically across all 2-step account sizes.

3-Step Challenge: 3% per phase, uniform across all 3 phases and all account sizes.

Predictions 1 Step Challenge: 9%, uniform across all account sizes.

Predictions Elite 1-Step Challenge: 9%, uniform across all account sizes.

Drawdown Rules (Challenge)

Drawdown rules differ meaningfully across the 3 Standard challenge types, so you’ll want to read the column that applies to your chosen path.

Daily Loss Limit

Challenge TypeDaily Loss LimitMeasurement Window
1-Step3%00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC
2-Step4%24-hour period
3-Step2%Per day

Drawdown Calculation Method

The 1-step challenge uses an EOD trailing drawdown: the drawdown level is calculated from your highest equity at end of day (“Balance / Equity – Highest at EOD”), meaning intraday equity peaks don’t move the drawdown level in real time; the level updates based on the highest balance or equity recorded at end of day.

The 2-step and 3-step challenges use a static drawdown: the maximum loss limit is fixed from the starting balance and does not move at any point during the challenge.

Drawdown Lock

No drawdown lock applies to any challenge type. The 1-step trailing drawdown trails from highest equity with no stated ceiling or lock point.


Funded Account Rules

Drawdown Rules (Funded)

The drawdown rules stated at the challenge stage carry through to the funded account under the same product; no separate funded-stage drawdown values are published.
