# OMO Two-Step Challenge — Rules & Requirements

# OMO Two-Step Challenge — Rules & Requirements

## Evaluation Phases

The OMO Two-Step Challenge requires passing **two evaluation phases** before receiving a funded (simulated) account.

|  | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Funded Stage |
| ---- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Profit Target | 6% | 8% | — |
| Max Drawdown | 8% (Static) | 8% (Static) | 8% (Static) |
| Daily Drawdown | 4%(Higher of your equity or balance at 00:00 UTC) | 4% (Higher of your equity or balance at 00:00 UTC) | 4% (Higher of your equity or balance at 00:00 UTC) |
| Min. Profitable Days | 4 days | 4 days | 4 days |

## Max Drawdown: 8% (Static)

- Based on your **starting balance**
- Does **not trail upward** as your balance grows
- Applies during **all stages**, including the funded stage

## Daily Drawdown: 4%

- Resets at **00:00 UTC**
- Calculated from the **higher of your balance or equity** at the start of each day
- If you hold an open trade at 00:00 UTC, unrealized (floating) P&L is included in the reference value

**Example ($5,000 OMO account):**
- At 00:00 UTC: balance = $5,000, equity = $5,100 → limit based on $5,100
- 4% of $5,100 = $204 → equity must not drop below **$4,896** that day

**Example ($2,000 OMO account with open trade at reset):**
- At 00:00 UTC: equity = $2,070.57 (trade open, unrealized profit included)
- 4% of $2,070.57 = $82.82 → equity must not drop below **$1,987.75**

> ⚠️ A breach can occur even if your closed P&L alone wouldn't have triggered it, because floating profits at the reset raise the daily reference point.

## Minimum Profitable Days

- At least **4 profitable days per phase**
- Each profitable day must generate **≥ 0.5% profit**
- Example: on a $10,000 account, a day must show at least **$50 profit** to count

## Trade Duration Rule

- Each trade must be open for **at least 150 seconds (2.5 minutes)**
- Shorter trades do not count toward profit targets

## News Trading Rules

- **Phase 1 & Phase 2:** Fully allowed, no restrictions
- **Funded Stage:** Allowed, but profit from a single news event is capped at **0.50%**
  - Example: on a $100,000 account → max **$500 profit per news event**

## M2 Account Saver

A built-in risk protection rule that activates automatically when losses get too high.

- **Activates when drawdown reaches 2%** of account balance while trades are open

**First Breach:**
- All open trades are closed immediately
- Profit split is **permanently reduced to 50%**

**Second Breach:**
- All open trades are closed
- Account is **permanently deactivated** (no recovery)

## Time Limit

The OMO Two-Step Challenge has a **maximum duration of 180 days** across both evaluation phases combined. There is no separate deadline per phase — you can distribute your trading time as needed within the 180-day window.

## Funded Stage

The same drawdown limits and trading rules that apply during the evaluation phases continue to apply in the funded stage. There is **no consistency score requirement** on the funded account.
