Structuring a Phase 1 & Phase 2 Challenge Strategy
Prop firm evaluations require hitting specific profit targets (typically 8% to 10% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2). Mapping out winning trade milestones converts intimidating profit goals into structured, executable trade steps.
Calculating Trade Milestones and R:R Expectations
To reach an 8% profit target ($8,000 on a $100k account) at 1% risk per trade with a 1:2 R:R ratio, you need exactly 4 net winning trades.
How to Use This Profit Target Calculator
Enter account size, target profit % (e.g. 8% or 10%), current realized profit, average risk per trade, and target R:R ratio. The calculator outputs remaining profit required and number of net winning trades needed.
Avoiding the Rush to Pass Quickly
Most prop firms have eliminated time limits. Rushing to pass in 3 days with oversized lot sizes drastically increases breach probability. Steady execution wins.
