The short answer
No. With one deliberate exception, UZO accounts have no time limit. You may pass an evaluation and trade a funded account entirely at your own pace, with no countdown and no expiry. The single exception is Instant 24h, which by design invites you to reach its target inside a 24-hour window.
No deadlines on the main products
Four of our five products run with no time limit at all. You are never racing a clock, and an account is never closed simply because time has passed.
Product | Time limit |
One Step | None |
Two Step | None |
Instant | None |
Instant Pro | None |
Instant 24h | 24-hour window (see below) |
For One Step and Two Step, the profit target has no expiry date, and there is no minimum number of trading days either. You reach the target whenever your trading gets you there, with no floor and no ceiling on how long you take. Take a week, a month or a year: the choice is yours.
Instant and Instant Pro have no profit target and no time limit. They are live from the first day and remain open for as long as you trade within the drawdown rules. Each does ask for a minimum number of trading days before your first withdrawal, 5 on Instant and 6 on Instant Pro. That is a gentle floor on activity, not a deadline, and it is explained in full in Minimum trading days explained.
Why the open timeline is a strength
Removing the clock changes the question from "can you do it quickly" to "can you do it well". You wait for your setups. You sit out the days that do not suit your strategy. You let your edge play out over the number of trades it actually needs.
That is precisely the discipline a funded trader relies on day to day, and it is the behaviour we are pleased to reward. Giving you an unhurried timeline is one of the ways UZO stays firmly on your side.
The Instant 24h exception
Instant 24h is built around speed on purpose, and its name says so. It carries a 3% profit target and asks for a minimum of 7 trades, both to be met inside a 24-hour window. The window is the product, not a hidden penalty: it is for traders who want a short, decisive run rather than an open-ended account.
The clock starts on your first trade, not at the moment of purchase, so there is no pressure before you are ready. The account then closes automatically once 24 hours have passed, whatever the outcome, and you cannot cash out early even if you reach the target sooner. If you reach the target, your reward is generated from your final result. If you do not, the session simply ends and you are welcome to begin a fresh one.
One window, by design
Instant 24h is the only UZO product with a time element. Its 3% target and 7-trade minimum sit inside a single 24-hour window. It also runs tighter risk limits than the rest of the Instant class (2% daily drawdown, 3% trailing maximum drawdown, 1% single-trade loss), so treat it as a focused sprint rather than your default account.
If a deadline is not what you are looking for, any other product will suit you. If you specifically want a fast, contained challenge, Instant 24h is the one made for it.
Pacing your evaluation
Outside Instant 24h, treat the absence of a clock as an invitation to trade well rather than often. A few practical habits:
Trade only your highest-conviction setups. Quantity is not rewarded. The Best Day Rule applies when you take a reward on One Step, Two Step, Instant and Instant Pro: no single trading day may account for more than 20% of your total net profit since your last reward. It is a soft gate, so it never breaches your account. It can only hold a withdrawal until your profit is more evenly distributed. Instant 24h instead follows the Best Trade Rule, where no single trade may account for more than 15% of that profit. Should that limit be exceeded, the account runs to the end of its 24-hour window and closes with no reward generated.
Respect the drawdown limits for your product. Those, not time, are what bring an account to a close. Drawdowns are measured on your equity, so open positions and floating profit or loss count in real time, and the exact figures are shown on your dashboard.
Remember the daily drawdown limit resets at 00:00 UTC, so a difficult day need not carry into the next.
Step away when conditions are poor. With no deadline, sitting out costs you nothing.
Use the open-ended timeline to give your strategy the room it needs to work.
