Evaluation rules · 2 min read

Profit target

The profit target is the account gain required to pass an evaluation, usually expressed in dollars and typically between 6% and 10% of the account size.

How it works

On a 50K account targets of $3,000 are common; the figure scales with account size but not always proportionally. Some firms use a two-phase structure with a smaller second-phase target; most futures firms now use a single phase. The target interacts with every other rule: hitting it in one day does not pass the account if a minimum days rule applies, and hitting it with one large trade can fail a consistency check.

Why it matters on a funded account

The target is rarely the binding constraint. Time to reach it, the day count, and the consistency ratio usually decide the outcome first — which is why comparing firms on target alone is misleading.
