2-Step Plan

Updated yesterday

Voltara Funding’s 2-Step Plan is designed for traders who prefer a phased evaluation. Traders complete two sequential profit targets while following a clear set of risk and performance rules.

This plan is ideal for disciplined traders who want a stepwise path to becoming a funded trader.


Account Rules and Requirements

Profit Target – Phase 1: 8%, Phase 2: 5%

Traders must reach a 8% profit target in Phase 1 and a 5% profit in Phase 2 to complete the evaluation successfully.


Maximum Overall Drawdown – 10%

The account includes a fixed 10% maximum drawdown based on the starting balance. If your equity falls below this level at any point, the account is considered breached.

Example:

  • For a $100,000 account:

    • Maximum total loss is 10% of $100,000 = $10,000.

    • Account equity, including unrealized losses, must not fall below $90,000.


Daily Drawdown Limit – 5%

Every day at 00:00 UTC, the system determines your daily loss limit by looking at the higher value between your account balance and equity. From that amount, 5% of the initial account balance is deducted to set your maximum allowable loss for the following trading day.

Examples:

Example 1 — $100,000 Account with $2,000 Floating Profit at 00:00 UTC

  • Equity at reset: $102,000

  • Higher value between balance and equity: $102,000

  • 5% of initial balance: $5,000

  • Daily loss limit: $102,000 − $5,000 = $97,000

Example 2 — $100,000 Account with $2,000 Floating Loss at 00:00 UTC

  • Equity at reset: $98,000

  • Higher value between balance and equity: $100,000

  • 5% of initial balance: $5,000

  • Daily loss limit: $100,000 − $5,000 = $95,000


Minimum Trading Days – 3 Days

Traders must trade on at least 3 separate trading days in each phase to remain eligible to pass Phase 1 and Phase 2.

On each qualifying day, the account must achieve a minimum profit of 0.5% of the starting account balance for that phase.


Leverage – Up to 1:100

Leverage starts at 1:50 by default. Traders have the option to increase this to 1:100 by purchasing the leverage add-on at checkout.


Risk per Trade – 2%

Traders are permitted to risk up to 2% of the account balance on any single trade. This rule is designed to promote disciplined risk management and prevent excessive exposure on individual positions.

The risk percentage refers to the maximum potential loss on a trade if it reaches its defined exit point (whether via stop-loss, manual closure, or account risk limits).

Example

  • Account size: $100,000

  • Maximum risk per trade: 2%

  • Maximum allowable risk per trade: $2,000

This means:

  • You may open a trade where the maximum possible loss is $2,000 or less.

  • If your stop-loss (or risk calculation) would result in a loss greater than $2,000, the position size must be reduced.

This rule applies to all trades and must be respected at all times, regardless of market conditions or strategy used.


Profit Split – 80/20 (Upgradeable to 90/10)

The default profit split is 80% to the trader and 20% to Voltara Funding. Traders can upgrade to a 90/10 split by purchasing a 20% add-on.


Payout Frequency – Biweekly

Payouts are processed every 14 days, provided all rules are followed and the account is profitable.


Phase Jump Payment – 50%

Traders pay 50% to unlock and start Phase 2 of the evaluation.


News Trading Restrictions

For phase 1 and phase 2 of the evaluation, news trading is fully allowed, and traders are free to open or close positions before, during, or after any economic news event.

Master Accounts: Trading is restricted within a 4-minute window, specifically , 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after any high-impact (red-folder) news release.

How Restrictions Apply:

  • If the news affects a specific currency (e.g., EUR or GBP), you may still trade other unrelated pairs (for example, USD, JPY, or Gold)

  • However, during the following major events, trading is restricted across all assets:

    • NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls)

    • CPI (Consumer Price Index)

    • FOMC Statements or Rate Decisions

Violating this rule results in profit removal from affected trade and a Soft Breach. After two Soft Breaches, the account is terminated for non-compliance.


Weekend and Overnight Holding

Holding trades overnight or over the weekend is allowed.


Maximum Allocation – $300,000

Each trader can be allocated up to $300,000 for the 2-Step Plan.
