Frequently Asked Questions

What is the OMO 2-step challenge? +

The OMO 2-step is a two-phase evaluation designed to identify skilled, disciplined traders.

What are the Profit Targets for the OMO 2-step challenge? +

The profit targets are:

  • 6% profit target in Phase 1
  • 8% profit target in Phase 2

These must be reached while respecting drawdown and daily loss limits to unlock a simulated funded account. The escalating targets exist to prove your success wasn't a one-time event.

Why is the Phase 2 profit target higher than Phase 1? +

The higher Phase 2 target (8% vs 6%) ensures consistency. Passing Phase 1 demonstrates you can reach a goal; Phase 2 confirms you can do it again under slightly more demanding conditions. This structure filters out lucky runs and rewards genuinely skilled traders.

What is the daily EOD drawdown limit? +

The daily End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown limit is 4%. This resets at 00:00 UTC each day and is calculated on your balance or equity — whichever is highest at the start of the day.

Example: On a $10,000 account, you cannot lose more than $400 in a single trading day across all three stages.

What are the minimum profitable day requirements? +

You must complete at least 4 minimum profitable days in each phase, including the funded stage. A day only counts if you generate a profit of at least 0.5% of your account balance on that day. For example, on a $10,000 account you must make a minimum of $50 profit for that day to qualify. A trading day runs from 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC. Reaching your overall profit target without hitting 4 qualifying days is not sufficient to pass or unlock a withdrawal.

What does the 150-second minimum hold time mean? +

Every trade must remain open for a minimum of 150 seconds (2.5 minutes). Trades closed before this threshold will not count toward your progress. This rule applies at the funded stage, and is designed to discourage scalping strategies that exploit short-term volatility spikes.

Can I trade the news? +

News trading is fully permitted during Phase 1 and Phase 2 with no restrictions. In the funded stage, news trading is still allowed but any profit made during a news event is capped at 0.50% of your account balance. For example, on a $100,000 funded account, you can keep a maximum of $500 in profit from any single news event; anything above that will not count toward your balance. This rule prevents outsized gains from extreme volatility while still allowing you to participate in news-driven moves.

What is the M2 Account Saver and how does it work? +

The M2 Account Saver monitors your open positions and triggers automatically when drawdown reaches 2% of your account balance.

First breach: all open trades are immediately closed and your profit split is permanently reduced to 50% for the remainder of the account.

Second breach: all open trades are closed again and your account is permanently deactivated — there is no recovery from a second breach.

Careful position sizing from the outset is the best way to avoid triggering it.

Is there a withdrawal cap? +

Yes there is. On your first payout you are limited to 6% of your account balance and on your second payout you are limited to 8% of your account balance. After this you have no withdrawal cap.

Is there a time limit on the OMO 2-step? +

Yes, the OMO 2-step has a maximum duration of 180 days across both evaluation phases combined. There is no separate deadline per phase, so you can distribute your trading time as needed. Staying within the 180-day window while meeting all targets and risk rules will qualify you for the funded stage.

Rules & Compliance +

Hedging across accounts (going long on one account and short on another to guarantee a pass) is strictly prohibited and can be detected. Gambling-style trading, such as placing large, low risk-to-reward bets with no clear strategy, is also not permitted. Trades that do not meet the minimum hold time of 150 seconds will not count. All traders must comply with Maven Trading's full terms and conditions.
