Build Your Edge with the $50K Three-Phase Challenge

Not ready for the biggest account? The $50K three-phase challenge gives you the full evaluation experience at a smaller size, with the same promise: no broker tricks, zero spreads, and no slippage. Three phases mean three chances to demonstrate consistency, not just a single hot streak.

It’s still the cheapest demo challenge in history for this tier. Take your time, use raw spreads, and trade 400+ markets across forex, metals, indices, and crypto. The Liquid Markets network fund backs every challenge, and winners receive a Nitro risk-managed STP account funded by non-winning challenge fees.

After 30 days on the live account, request payouts directly from the broker. This is the ideal starting point if you want the three-phase format without committing to the largest account size.

Minimum Trading Days

A minimum of 5 trading days is required for each phase of evaluation. You have ample time to achieve your target and progress to the next phase, so take it slow and practice good risk management.

A Minimum Trading Day is counted when the profits or losses at the end of the day meet a specific threshold, defined as 0.5% of your account balance. For example, if your initial account balance is $10,000, your profit or loss at the end of the day must be at least ±0.5%, equivalent to ±$50. This means if you make $100 or more in profit, or incur $50 or more in losses, that day will be considered a trading day. Conversely, if your profit or loss is less than $50, the day will not count as a trading day.

The Evaluation Process

The Liquid 100 is a 2-stage evaluation account. Both phases must be successfully completed by achieving the required targets for each stage. The list of available markets or products may be updated based on margin availability, leverage, liquidity, and other factors. Updates will not apply to traders who have already purchased the product before changes are made.

– First Phase: A profit target of 8% with no rule breaches must be achieved before proceeding to the second phase. There is no time limit for this phase.

– Second Phase: A profit target of 5% with no rule breaches must be achieved to qualify for a Nitro account. This phase also has no time limit.

Drawdown Rules

For this 2-stage evaluation plan, customers must not lose more than 5% of the initial account size in a single day, with a maximum drawdown of 8%, including fees and swaps. Daily drawdown limits reset at 5 PM EST. Daily drawdown is calculated based on the equity% which means open position limit of 5% of either current balance or yesterday’s balance whichever is higher.

Here is an example

Daily Drawdown Calculation

1. Yesterday’s Balance: $9,500 after some loss
2. Today’s Balance: $10,500 after making a profit of $1000

You can see today’s balance is higher than yesterday’s closing balance,

To determine your daily risk limit:

1. Calculate 5% of Today’s Balance:
– 5% of $10,500 = $10,500 × 0.05 = -$525

so daily risk limit is -$525

2. Determine Your Risk Limit:
Subtract the 5% from current balance:
$10,500 – $525 = $9,975

You should not let your equity drop below $9,975 to stay within your daily risk limit of 5%.

—

Account Size Maintenance

Customers must maintain their account balance above 92% of the initial size for evaluation plans, accounting for all positions, fees, and swaps.

—

Resets

If you breach any of the rules, you are entitled to a 20% discount to reset your account. Note that this does not apply to any current promotions offering discounted prices.
