Practical answers for customers. Where a question touches a rule, the Discipline Challenge Rules and Terms remain authoritative.
Pricing and attempts
What does the Challenge cost?
$199, one-time per Challenge attempt. Promotional codes, when a campaign is running, are applied at checkout.
Does one purchase cover unlimited attempts?
No. Each valid purchase is one attempt credit. If an Evaluation ends, retrying requires another purchase. Your Journal and performance history are always preserved.
How does market data work?
TradeSystem Native market data is included for supported Challenge instruments. An external market-data account or connection is not required.
The Evaluation
Is there a profit target?
No. There is no profit target at any stage of the Evaluation.
Do I need to be profitable to pass the Evaluation?
No. The Evaluation measures discipline, not profit.
How many trading days do I need?
At least 14 Qualified Trading Days.
Do the 14 days need to be consecutive?
No. Only one Qualified Day can be earned per trading date, but they never have to be back to back.
Is there a deadline?
No. Take as long as you need.
How is my Discipline Score measured?
Each finalized trading day is scored out of 100 across Risk Discipline, Plan Adherence and Execution Discipline. Your overall score is the average of every finalized scored day.
What happens if I break a major rule?
A major issue costs you the Qualified Day and records one Major Strike Day. Your account keeps going — three Major Strike Days end the Evaluation. A critical breach ends it immediately. A minor issue only costs you points, and the day can still qualify if you finish at 95 or higher.
Does TradeSystem stop me from making a mistake?
No. You trade your own way through Live Charts. If you take more risk than the grade you chose, TradeSystem records and scores it rather than blocking you. Market slippage and normal market behaviour are never counted against you.
Can I retry if my Evaluation ends?
Yes, with another Challenge purchase. Your Journal and performance history are always preserved.
Can I change my Risk Profile?
No. Once locked before your first trade it carries through the Evaluation and into Funded.
What happens after I pass?
You activate a new $50,000 Simulated Funded account with no activation fee and the same locked Risk Profile.
Is the Funded account live brokerage capital?
No. Evaluation and Funded accounts are simulated. No brokerage account or live capital is provided.
Is there an activation fee?
No.
How much can I receive in payouts?
50% of eligible realized profit, up to $1,000 per payout cycle and $3,000 lifetime per Funded account, subject to programme rules and verification.
Do I need full TradeSystem access?
No. Challenge-only access includes the Challenge experience and its Journal.
How does market data work?
The Challenge runs on TradeSystem Live Charts using the market data feed built into the platform. Nothing to install.
