Challenge ObjectivesYour Roadmap to Becoming a Funded Trader
Understanding your challenge objectives is the first step to passing TidalFi's trading challenge. Whether you're attempting a Two-Step challenge or One-Step challenge, this guide breaks down exactly what you need to achieve and provides practical strategies to help you succeed.
TidalFi's challenge objectives are crystal clear: hit specific profit targets, stay within risk limits, and demonstrate trading strategy. Let's break down each objective and show you how to achieve them.

FAQ
Can I exceed the profit objective?
Yes, but it doesn't carry over. If you make 15% in Phase 1 of Two-Step, you still start Phase 2 at your original capital with a 5% target. The extra 5% doesn't transfer.
Do weekends count toward the 30-day inactivity limit?
Yes. The inactivity rule is 30 calendar days without closing a position, not 30 trading days. If you close a position Friday and don't trade again until 31 days later, you fail.
What if I'm 1 pip away from my profit objective when the market closes?
Profit objectives are based on realized P&L only. Unrealized profit in open positions doesn't count. You must close positions to lock in profit toward your objective.
Can I adjust my risk limits during the challenge?
No. Challenge objectives are fixed when you purchase. You cannot switch from One-Step to Two-Step mid-evaluation or request "just 1% more daily drawdown." The rules are the rules.
If I fail, do I restart with the same objectives?
Yes. Purchasing a new challenge gives you a fresh evaluation with the same objectives. However, rules may be updated for new challenges based on the latest platform version.
