NOVA Challenge

Rules, profit target, drawdown, payouts

🚀 Nova is a simplified evaluation model that allows traders to start their journey for only $5, making it one of the most accessible challenges available.
​


⚡ Overview


The Nova Challenge requires traders to reach a 5% profit target while staying within an 8% maximum overall loss, with a Trailing Drawdown
​

There are no minimum trading days, allowing traders to complete the challenge at their own pace. Once the target is achieved without violating the rules, the trader can activate their funded account by paying the Funded fee for the selected account size.

💡 Why Nova?

With a $5 starting fee, traders can prove their strategy and trading discipline before committing.
​

This structure allows traders to:

  • Test their skills with a minimal fee

  • Access funded trading opportunities more easily

  • Only pay the full Funded once they successfully pass the evaluation
    ​
    ​



📅 Payouts

  • Payouts are available on demand once the trader receives their funded account.

  • Withdrawal requests can be submitted directly from the trading dashboard.

  • Important note: once a payout is requested, the drawdown is locked in at the initial account balance. When you request a payout, your max drawdown is fixed at the initial balance. If you request a full payout, it means that you will instantly breach the total drawdown. You will need to keep a buffer in the account to continue trading
    ​



✅ Allowed Trading Strategies

  • Manual trading (scalping, swing, intraday)

  • EAs are permitted

  • ❌ No high-impact news trading ±2 minutes


🔄 Account Reset

Breached your Nova Funded account? No problem. You can reset it and get back to trading without starting a new challenge from scratch.
​

How It Works:

If a Nova Funded account breaches, you can reset it directly from your dashboard:

  1. Log into your dashboard

  2. Go to the Accounts tab

  3. Find your breached Nova Funded account

  4. Click Reset Account

  5. Complete payment on the checkout page (a 10% discount is automatically applied, no code needed)

  6. A new funded account of the same size is issued instantly, and you're ready to trade again

💵 Reset Fees

Resetting comes with an exclusive 10% discount off the original Funded fee, applied automatically every time.

📌 Good to Know

  • You can reset the same account as many times as you like

  • The reset fee stays the same every time, it does not stack additional discounts on repeat resets
