Maven Trading programs compared: One-Step, Two-Step, Three-Step, Instant
The evaluations differ; the funded account does not. Every Maven program on one grid, and the three funded rules that decide fit.
Four programs, one funded rulebook
Maven’s programs differ mainly in how many phases stand before the funded account; once funded, every program runs the same set: an 8% trailing limit from the highest floating equity, a 4% daily limit and a 20% consistency check before each withdrawal. The evaluation is the easy part.
| Rule | One-Step | Two-Step | Three-Step | Instant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation drawdown | static | static | static | none (funded from day one) |
| Funded drawdown | 8% trailing from highest floating equity | same | same | same |
| Daily loss, evaluation | 2–4% by program | same | same | — |
| Daily loss, funded | 4% daily EOD limit activates | same | same | same |
| Consistency | none in eval; 20% once funded | same | same | 20% from day one |
| Minimum days | none | 3 days with 0.5% profit per phase | per phase | none |
| Risk per trade | — | — | — | 1% maximum per trade |
| Automation | prohibited at every stage | prohibited | prohibited | prohibited |
| Payout | every 10 business days, $20 minimum, 80% split; 20% checked before each withdrawal | same | same | same |
What this means for a systematic strategy
Maven prohibits EAs on every program, so a coded strategy runs here only through manual execution of alerts. If that is acceptable, the funded rules decide fit: the trailing limit follows floating equity, so open profit given back counts, and the 20% rule requires five or more similar days per withdrawal cycle. A strategy with one large day a fortnight cannot clear it at any size. Funded rules in detail on Maven funded rules; the full card at Maven Trading rules.
FAQ
Does Maven Trading allow EAs?
No. Automated trading is prohibited on every program and platform; strategies run by manual execution only.
What is the Maven Trading consistency rule?
20% on Instant and on every funded account: the biggest winning day divided by total profit must be at or below 20%, checked before each withdrawal. Standard evaluations have none.
How often does Maven pay?
Every 10 business days, $20 minimum, 80% split.
