1-Step Elite Challenge
The 1-Step Elite Challenge is designed as a traditional evaluation pathway for disciplined traders. Under this model, you must successfully reach a specific profit target while adhering to risk management rules to prove your trading skills.
Once the profit target is reached and the Elite Challenge is passed, an activation fee is required to transition from the challenge phase to a funded environment where you then can work towards a payout.
This path is ideal for traders who are confident in their ability to pass evaluations and want to benefit from a 25% consistency rule, which is more generous than the rules found in the Instant or Ignite account models.

📊 Why S2F Sim Pro? The best fit for professional traders comfortable with intraday drawdown and and a structured 10-day payout requirement. It has a much lower cost than Instant Sim Funded Accounts, but still includes the high payout caps.
