# How Supertrade Works

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Funding Models" %}

### Supertrade offers two main funding paths to suit different trading styles.

#### Challenge (Evaluation)

Prove your skills by hitting the profit target while respecting daily and overall risk limits. Once you pass and verify your results, you receive a funded account to continue trading. This model rewards discipline and consistency.

#### Instant Funding

Skip the evaluation and start with a funded account immediately. Although strict risk controls apply, this model allows traders to begin trading live right after purchase, making it ideal for those who want to get started quickly.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Stages & Profit Targets" %}
Each plan comes with defined profit targets and trading requirements. For example, in the 2-Phase Challenge you need to achieve 6% in Phase 1 and 8% in Phase 2, all while staying within risk rules. There are no maximum time constraints, so you can trade at your own pace. Minimum trading days may apply depending on your plan, ensuring that performance is consistent and not based on a single trade.

{% hint style="info" %}
&#x20;Always check your plan’s card for the exact requirements, as targets can vary by account size.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Drawdown & Risk Limits" %}

### Risk management is central to all Supertrade accounts.

#### Daily Drawdown

This is the maximum loss you can incur in a single trading day. If exceeded, the account will be breached.

#### Max Drawdown

This is the overall equity loss limit. Crossing it automatically closes positions and pauses the account.

| Funding Model        | Daily Drawdown                                            | Max Drawdown                                    |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| 2-Phase Challenge    | <p>\[Equity at EOD]<br>Phase 1: 7% </p><p>Phase 2: 7%</p> | <p>\[Static]<br>Phase 1: 7% <br>Phase 2: 7%</p> |
| 2-Phase Live Account | 5% Equity at EOD                                          | 10% Static                                      |
| Instant Funding      | 3% Equity at EOD                                          | 4% Static                                       |

These rules ensure traders maintain discipline, protect their accounts, and align with professional risk management practices.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Payouts & Profit Split" %}
Funded traders can request payouts on a regular schedule, with profits typically processed in as little as 24 hours. The percentage you keep—your profit split—depends on your plan, ranging from 50% in instant funding models to as high as 95% in the challenge model. Your payout history and consistency can also affect eligibility for scaling opportunities. \
\
Payouts are provided on a monthly basis. For Instant Funding, traders can request first payout in 14 days after the first trade.

For 2-Phase Challenge, traders can request first payout 24 hours after their first trade.
