Two Step is built for the risk-conscious trader who wants smaller, split targets and room to breathe. You are trading real live prices on simulated capital, with real spreads and commissions applied uniformly, and no live capital at risk. The route is deliberately steady: lower per-phase targets than a single sprint, a generous drawdown that does not move against you, and no clock forcing your hand.

Phase 1 asks you to grow your starting balance by 6%. You clear the larger of the two targets first, so you can settle into your edge without reaching for size. Trade your own way: expert advisors and bots, custom indicators, news trading, and holding overnight or over the weekend are all allowed.

Once your account closes at or above the 6% gain and you have respected the drawdown, Phase 1 is complete. There is no minimum number of days to wait and no deadline to beat, so you can reach 6% in a few sessions or over several weeks. The pace is yours.

Phase 2 sets a target of 4%, measured from the fresh Phase 2 starting balance. The rules you already know carry over: the same instruments, the same 1:100 leverage, the same allowed strategies, and the same 8% static maximum drawdown. Nothing new to learn, just one more target to clear.

Across both phases your total growth requirement adds up to 10% (6% then 4%). Splitting it in two is what makes Two Step less pressured than reaching a full target in one go: each phase is a smaller, more digestible step.

Your one hard limit is the maximum drawdown of 8%, and on Two Step it is static. Static means the floor is fixed to your starting balance and does not trail your profits. Whatever you earn, the line below which the account fails stays where it began, so your gains are never used to tighten the limit against you.

In practice that gives you real room: as your equity climbs, the distance between your balance and the 8% floor widens. On a $10,000 account the static floor sits at $9,200 and stays there. A static drawdown rewards consistency and protects a good run from a single rough day. Your live distance to the limit is always shown on your dashboard.

Two Step also has a daily drawdown rule that resets at 00:00 UTC each day. The exact daily percentage for Two Step is shown on your dashboard, so always check there for the live figure rather than assuming one.

There is no minimum trading day requirement on Two Step, and no time limit on either phase. You are not forced to keep the account open for a set number of days, and you are not racing a countdown. This is central to the lower-pressure design: you trade when your setups appear and sit out when they do not.

A quick note on what is not allowed, because it applies to every UZO account. Strategies that game the simulation are banned: latency or HFT arbitrage, and tick-exploit or tick-scalping techniques. There is also a soft Best Day Rule: no single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit in the current reward segment (the profit since your last reward). It never breaches or fails your account. If one day is too dominant, it simply delays the withdrawal until your profit is more evenly spread, and once the distribution balances the reward proceeds.

Two Step starts from a $10,000 account. Larger account sizes are available, and the current price for each size is shown at checkout. Your one-time evaluation fee is fully refunded with your third reward, so a passing trader gets their entry cost back.

You can start without any identity verification. KYC happens only after you pass, handled through our identity-verification partner, never as a barrier to begin.

Clear Phase 1, then Phase 2, and you move to a funded UZO account. From there you keep 90% of your rewards, with UZO taking 10%, and that split is fixed at every account size.

Funded accounts stay under the same 8% maximum drawdown, which on Two Step is static and absolute: the floor is fixed to your starting balance and never trails your profits, so your gains are never used to tighten the limit against you. You can also scale: $100K to $200K to $500K to $1M, growing 35% every four months up to $2.5M, with no new fee.
