The short answer
One Step is a single-phase evaluation. You have one job: grow your simulated balance by 6% whilst staying inside the drawdown limits. Reach that, and you pass. There is no time limit and no second phase. It is the option most UZO traders choose.
UZO is a simulated trading platform. You trade on real, live market prices across six markets, forex, metals, crypto, indices, stocks and energies, with more than 1,300 instruments available, whilst the capital itself is simulated and none of it is your own money at risk. One Step measures whether you can trade that environment with discipline. Clear it, and you move to a funded account where your results convert into real rewards.
The single profit target (6%)
There is exactly one target to reach: 6% profit on your starting balance. On a $5,000 account that is $300 of net simulated gain. Reach it without breaching a drawdown limit, and the phase is complete.
Because there is only one phase, there is no second target waiting after this one. That is what makes One Step the most direct route to funding: one number, one finish line.
No time limit
There is no minimum number of trading days. Once you reach the target without breaching a limit, the phase is complete, so you are never held back waiting for a day count to fill.
There is also no time limit. You are never racing a clock. Whether you reach 6% in a week or over several months, the challenge stays open. That removes the pressure to force trades, which is usually what ends an evaluation early.
Drawdown limits
Whilst you work toward the target, two loss limits protect the account. Breaking either one ends the challenge.
Daily drawdown: a cap on how far your equity, including any open and floating profit or loss, can fall within a single trading day. The daily figure resets at 00:00 UTC, so each new day starts fresh.
Maximum drawdown: a trailing floor that follows your equity upward as you make profit, then locks at your starting balance once your profit crosses the set threshold. From that point it stays fixed at your starting balance for the rest of the challenge.
Both limits are measured on equity, so they account for your open positions in real time. The exact percentages for One Step are shown on the live pricing page and on your dashboard once your account is active, so you always see the precise numbers tied to your size. Treat both limits as firm floors: the discipline that keeps you above them is the same discipline a funded account rewards.
Account sizes and entry cost
One Step accounts start from $5,000, with a one-time evaluation fee shown at checkout. Larger sizes are available, each with its own price shown at checkout. Leverage is fixed at 1:100 across every size.

You verify your identity once you have passed, in your own name, before your funded account is activated. The person shown on the documents must be you throughout verification, and rewards are paid only to a bank account or crypto wallet held in that same name. We would ask that you use your own details from the outset, as a name that does not match holds the reward until it is corrected.
What happens when you pass
When you reach 6% without breaching a limit, your account is reviewed and you move to a funded account. From there your trading earns real rewards under a 90% trader / 10% platform split, fixed at every account size.
You keep 90%
On every funded account you keep 90% of the profit and UZO keeps 10%, the same generous share on every product and at every account size, and among the most generous available anywhere. Your evaluation fee is refunded in full with your third reward, and 95% of rewards are approved in 2 to 3 hours and paid in about 12 hours, by bank transfer or crypto.
The rules are published in full and clear from the start, so you always know exactly what passing requires. Traders who respect the drawdown limits and let the no-time-limit rule work in their favour, rather than forcing trades, are the ones who do well here.
