CashProp – Official Trading Challenge Rules

Last Update: 13.12.2025

Participation in any CashProp trading challenge constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of all rules stated below. These terms define the operational framework between the trader and CashProp.

1. Challenge Structure

CashProp offers a variety of trading challenges based on asset type (Forex, Gold, Crypto, Bitcoin) and evaluation model (One-Phase or Two-Phase).
Each plan specifies the account balance, profit target, drawdown limits, minimum trading days, and challenge duration.

2. General Challenge Requirements

2.1. Daily Drawdown

The total of realized loss and floating loss on any trading day must not exceed the allowed percentage based on the initial equity.
Server time (UTC+0) is the reference.

2.2. Maximum Overall Drawdown

Throughout the evaluation, total realized or floating loss must not exceed the maximum overall drawdown.
Exceeding this limit results in immediate failure of the challenge.

2.3. Profit Target

• One-Phase Challenges: completing the single profit target is sufficient.

• Two-Phase Challenges: each stage must independently meet its required profit target.

2.4. Minimum Trading Days

Traders must execute trades on 4 or 5 calendar days depending on the chosen plan.
One small trade per day is sufficient.

2.5. Consistency Requirement

Generating most profits in one day while showing minimal activity on other days violates performance consistency and results in challenge failure.
