The short answer
You pass a UZO challenge when you reach the profit target for your plan while staying inside its drawdown limits. When you pass, you complete identity verification and move to a funded simulated account on the 90/10 split, where you keep 90% of the simulated profit you generate.
Passing is simple to state and entirely objective. The conditions are published in full, they are the same for everyone, and there is no manual judgement of your style and no extra hoop beyond the rules of your plan. Reach the target, respect the limits, and the account is yours.
One Step passing checklist
One Step is a single phase with two conditions. Clear both and you pass.
Reach the 6% profit target on your account.
Stay inside your daily drawdown and maximum drawdown limits at all times.
There is no time limit and no minimum number of trading days, so you may pass as quickly as your trading allows. Drawdowns are measured on your equity, which includes any open or floating profit and loss, and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. The exact daily and maximum drawdown figures for One Step are shown on your dashboard. Treat them as firm floors: the aim is to stay clear of them throughout, rather than to recover after touching one.
Two Step passing checklist
Two Step divides the journey into two phases. You clear both to pass.
Phase | Profit target | Always inside |
Phase 1 | 6% | 8% static maximum drawdown |
Phase 2 | 4% | 8% static maximum drawdown |
The two targets add up to 10% across the challenge: 6% to advance from Phase 1, then 4% to complete Phase 2. The maximum drawdown is static at 8%, meaning it is measured from your starting balance and does not move up as you profit. There is no time limit and no minimum number of trading days on either phase. As with One Step, drawdowns are measured on your equity, including open profit and loss, and the daily limit resets at 00:00 UTC. The daily drawdown figure for Two Step is shown on your dashboard.
The Best Day Rule
UZO applies a Best Day Rule to withdrawals. When you request a withdrawal, no single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit in the current reward segment, meaning the profit you have made since your last reward, rather than the amount you are withdrawing. A day landing on exactly 20% is allowed and the request proceeds; only a share above that is held. It is a soft rule: it never breaches or fails your account. If one day is too large a share of your profit, the withdrawal is simply held until your results are more evenly distributed, and then it proceeds.
What is not allowed is anything that games the simulation itself: latency or HFT arbitrage, tick exploits and tick scalping, and similar methods. Fully welcome approaches include expert advisors and bots, custom indicators, news trading, and holding overnight or over the weekend. Expert advisors and copy trading are permitted where the settings are unique to you and every account involved is one you personally own.
What happens immediately after you pass
When you meet every passing condition, your evaluation is reviewed and you move to a funded simulated account. From that point the 90/10 split applies: you keep 90% of the simulated profit you generate, and UZO keeps 10%. The split is the same on every UZO product and at every account size, and it is among the most generous shares available anywhere.
You keep 90%
You keep 90% of profits and UZO keeps 10%, fixed at every funding size and identical on every product. Your evaluation fee is refunded in full with your third reward.
On the funded account, 95% of rewards are approved in 2 to 3 hours and paid in about 12 hours, by bank transfer or crypto.
Identity verification when you pass
You do not need to verify your identity to start or complete the evaluation itself. Identity verification (KYC) is completed the moment you pass, through our identity-verification partner, before your funded account is activated. It is a one-time process, and it confirms your identity at the point where a real funded account and real rewards begin.
Verification must be completed by you, in your own name. You must be the person shown on your identity documents, and the same person throughout. You may not use anyone else's documents, and rewards are paid only to a bank account or crypto wallet held in your own name and matching your verified identity. A name that does not match holds the reward until it is corrected.
