In the world of proprietary trading firms, evaluations are the gateway to access funding. But not all evaluations are created equal. Many traders are used to two-step or even multi-layered challenge processes — filled with rules, drawdown traps, and time constraints. At Funded Knight, we believe in simplicity with purpose. That’s why we designed a one-step challenge model.
And the results speak for themselves.
✅ What Is a One-Step Challenge?
A one-step challenge means that traders only need to pass a single phase to qualify for a funded account. No secondary evaluations. No verification round. Just you, your strategy, and the market.
You prove your consistency in one go — and we handle the rest.

🎯 Why One Step Is Better
Here’s why many traders are shifting toward firms like Funded Knight that offer this simplified model:
1. Faster Path to Funding
Time is valuable. In a one-step system, traders don’t have to wait weeks or months to complete multiple phases. If you’re ready, you could pass within days and start earning.
2. Reduced Pressure and Fatigue
The longer a challenge lasts, the more likely it is for mental fatigue and overtrading to creep in. A one-step challenge keeps your trading sharp and your mind focused.
3. Clarity Builds Confidence
Many two-step challenges include changing rules in the second phase, or limitations that weren’t clear from the start. One step = one rulebook. Clear expectations help traders perform better.
4. Fewer Drawdown Traps
Multiple steps often come with tighter restrictions in later phases. With one step, the metrics are defined — and you’re not forced to trade differently just to “pass a phase.”
🧠 But Isn’t It Too Easy?
Not at all.
A one-step challenge still tests your consistency, risk control, and discipline. You still need to follow proper lot sizing, protect your drawdown, and hit the profit target. What we’ve removed is the unnecessary repetition.
