    Key Considerations

    • Check the exact single-phase profit target in the tables below — it varies from 5% to 10% between firms
    • Trailing drawdown is more common on 1-step programs, making risk management critical
    • Check for minimum trading day requirements (usually 3-5 days) before you can request payout
    • Refundable fees mean you effectively get a free evaluation if you pass and collect your first payout

    Looking for the fastest route to funded trading? 1-step challenge prop firms offer a streamlined evaluation process that gets you trading with real capital quicker than traditional 2-phase programs. Instead of completing multiple evaluation stages, you only need to pass one challenge to prove your trading skills and risk management abilities.

    The main advantage of 1-step challenges is speed and simplicity. Many traders find single-phase evaluations less stressful and more cost-effective, especially when combined with our exclusive cashback offers.

    When choosing a 1-step prop firm, consider the profit targets, maximum drawdown limits, and trading rules. Some firms offer more lenient rules for news trading, EA usage, or weekend holding positions. Compare all options below to find the perfect match for your trading style.

    All firms in this category listed on PropFirmScan include a guaranteed 2% cashback — your built-in discount even when no promo code is available. If a firm does offer a discount code, your cashback stacks on top for double savings. Learn how cashback works →

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A 1-step challenge is an evaluation program where traders only need to pass one phase to qualify for a funded account. This is faster than traditional 2-step challenges that require passing two separate evaluation phases.

    Not necessarily easier, but faster. 1-step challenges often have similar or slightly higher profit targets since you only complete one evaluation. The main benefit is reduced time to funding and lower overall fees.

    When you sign up through PropFirmScan, you earn a percentage of your challenge fee back as cashback. This is paid after your purchase, reducing your net investment in the evaluation program.
