Stage Model

3-Stage Crypto Trading Challenge

The challenge uses three fixed stages. Targets narrow and risk limits tighten as participants move from Stage 1 through Stage 3.

Overview of the 3-stage model

The stage sequence is fixed before entry. Each stage keeps the same basic structure but adjusts the target, time limit, and allowed risk range so the evaluation moves from broader tolerance to tighter control.

Stage 1

+12% credited

  • Time limit: 21 days
  • Minimum trading days: 7
  • Minimum credited day: +0.5%
  • Credited caps: +2% per day, +1% per trade
  • Daily loss: -3%
  • Maximum drawdown: -8%

Stage 1 sets the widest thresholds in the 3-stage crypto challenge. Traders need to reach the credited target while staying inside the initial daily loss and maximum drawdown rules.

Stage 2

+8% credited

  • Time limit: 21 days
  • Minimum trading days: 7
  • Minimum credited day: +0.5%
  • Credited caps: +1.5% per day, +0.75% per trade
  • Daily loss: -2.5%
  • Maximum drawdown: -6%

Stage 2 keeps the same timeline but narrows both credited profit caps and risk limits. This is where consistency matters more than occasional outsized results.

Stage 3

+5% credited

  • Time limit: 14 days
  • Minimum trading days: 6
  • Minimum credited day: +0.5%
  • Credited caps: +1% per day, +0.5% per trade
  • Daily loss: -2%
  • Maximum drawdown: -4%

Stage 3 is the tightest stage. The target is smaller, but the room for error is smaller too, which makes discipline the main requirement before completion.

How targets narrow and risk limits tighten

The challenge is not just three repeated screens. Stage 1 has the widest loss range and the largest credited caps. Stage 2 reduces both. Stage 3 shortens the timeline, lowers the target again, and applies the tightest risk thresholds. The narrowing model is intentional because the final stage is designed to reward control rather than volatility.

What happens after passing Stage 3

A Stage 3 pass moves the user into the public payout and verification process. That includes performance bonus claim review, identity checks only at claim time, and the same legal and privacy standards already published on the public site.
