The 1-step static challenge

Single-Step Evaluation with Maximum Freedom and Increasing Withdrawals

Designed for traders looking to operate without constraints or complications. 1-Step Static eliminates traditional market restrictions and narrows down the rules to the essentials. A single evaluation phase, static risk parameters, and the ultimate freedom to execute your strategy your own way.

Rules Overview

1. Profit Target: 8% in Evaluation

Grow your simulated account by 8% during the Evaluation Phase. There is no time limit to achieve it. Once completed, you move directly to your Funded Account, where there is no longer a profit target.

2. Max Drawdown: 6%

The loss floor is completely static: it is calculated only once based on your initial balance and never moves, neither up nor down, regardless of your accumulated profits.
• Transparent calculation: Your total loss limit is always set at 6% below your initial balance.
• Example: You start with a $50,000 account. Your static floor is permanently set at $47,000. If your balance grows to $54,000, your total loss limit remains at $47,000.

3. Daily Loss Limit: 4%

You have a daily loss limit of 4% based on the account's initial balance, applied continuously in both the evaluation phase and the Funded Account. If at any point your account exceeds this limit or the total maximum drawdown, it will be considered a severe violation (Hard Breach) and the account will be permanently closed.

4. Minimum Trading Days and Trading Consistency

• Minimum days: You must complete at least 5 trading days. To ensure a professional trading environment, trades must reflect genuine market exposure and be consistent with your standard trading pattern. Filler trades or micro-movements without genuine market exposure will not count.

• Consistency Rule (40% in Funded Account): To protect your performance and reward balanced trading, no single winning trade may exceed 40% of the total profit generated during the current cycle.
◦ Example: On a $50,000 account, if your best trade generates $800, you will need to accumulate at least $2,000 in total profit during that cycle to process the full withdrawal.

5. Withdrawal Scaling Plan

In the Funded Account, your profits are maximized through a scalable maximum withdrawal limit structure across 6 payout requests. Any capital generated beyond the current payout limit remains intact in your account to support your trading in subsequent cycles.

Maximum Withdrawal Limit per Payout

Your first payout is available 14 calendar days after placing your first trade in the funded account. Subsequent withdrawals can be requested every 14 calendar days.

Bridge to Direct Capital

The Funded Account under the 1-Step Static program is valid for up to six (6) withdrawal requests. Once your 6th request is submitted or processed, the account will have concluded its lifecycle.

What happens next? At the end of the cycle, Noctorial may review your trading history. If you have demonstrated exceptional consistency and discipline, the management team may individually evaluate your placement into other firm programs, such as granting access to a new account or our Direct Capital programs.

6. Prohibited Strategies and Inactivity

Certain strategies are strictly prohibited across all models without exception. Check the Prohibited Strategies section for the complete, up-to-date list.

👉 Every Noctorial account requires at least one completed trade (opened and closed) every 30 consecutive days. If 30 days pass without a completed trade, your account will be permanently closed. This period begins the moment the trader receives their login credentials.
