Written by Emma on July 7, 2026.Quick take
The Two Step Omo Challenge is Maven Trading’s two-phase evaluation designed to identify skilled, disciplined traders. Traders are choosing Omo because it combines a clear, consistency-first structure with flexibility where it matters, including the freedom to trade around real market conditions.

Why traders are choosing Two Step Omo
Omo has become a popular pick for traders who want a ruleset that rewards process, not luck. Here’s what stands out.
1) It’s built to prove consistency, not a one-off result
Omo uses two phases with escalating targets:
- Phase 1: 6% profit target
- Phase 2: 8% profit target
Ultimately, Phase 1 shows you can reach a goal. Phase 2 confirms you can repeat performance under slightly more demanding conditions. That structure filters out “lucky runs” and rewards traders who can execute a repeatable plan.
2) The risk limits are simple and easy to plan around
The Two Step Omo challenge is designed to keep risk management front and centre:
- Maximum drawdown: 8% static (non-trailing), calculated from your starting balance
- Daily EOD drawdown limit: 4%, resetting daily at 00:00 UTC
Because the max drawdown is static (not trailing), traders can plan position sizing and risk per trade with more clarity.
3) It discourages “gaming” without punishing real strategy
Omo includes rules designed to discourage low-quality execution:
- 150-second minimum hold time: trades closed before 150 seconds do not count toward progress
- Prohibited practices: hedging across accounts to guarantee a pass, and gambling-style trading
The goal is to reward disciplined decision-making and reduce strategies that rely on exploiting micro-moves.
How the Two Step Omo Challenge works (step-by-step)
Step 1: Complete Phase 1
- Hit a 6% profit target
- Stay within the 8% max drawdown and 4% daily EOD drawdown
- Complete at least 4 minimum profitable days (each day requires at least 0.5% profit)
Step 2: Complete Phase 2
- Hit an 8% profit target
- Follow the same risk rules
- Complete at least 4 minimum profitable days
Step 3: Trade the funded stage (simulated)
Once you pass both phases, you unlock a simulated funded account and must continue to follow the rules, including minimum profitable days.
Key rules (quick reference)
