The complete guide to Gravity's standard two-phase evaluation program.

How the program works

Gravity 2 Step has two evaluation phases. You purchase the account for a one-time fee based on the account size you choose. Once active, you have unlimited time to hit Phase 1's profit target while respecting the risk rules. After passing Phase 1, you move into Phase 2 with the same rules but a lower profit target. Passing both phases makes you eligible for a funded trading stage and profit-sharing.

Program rules at a glance

No time limit — but daily consistency still matters

There is no maximum number of days to complete either phase, but you still need at least three valid trading days before you can pass. A valid day is any calendar day where you close with a net gain of at least 0.5% on your account balance. Days you break even or finish in the red do not count. The no-time-limit structure rewards patient, consistent traders — not gamblers trying to hit targets overnight.

Drawdown rules

Both the daily and total drawdown limits apply throughout the entire evaluation.

• Daily drawdown: Your equity cannot fall more than 4% of your starting account balance in a single calendar day. A 4% daily loss on a $10,000 account means a $400 limit per day.
• Maximum drawdown: Your total cumulative loss from the account start cannot exceed 10%. On a $10,000 account, this is $1,000 in total losses before the account is breached.
• Both limits apply from day one — there is no grace period at the start of either phase.

The 50% margin rule

At all times you must maintain at least 50% free margin. Free margin is the portion of your account not actively committed as collateral for open positions. If your open positions require more than 50% of your available margin, you are in violation. The fix is straightforward: reduce position sizes, close some trades, or stop adding to existing positions when margin is under pressure.

Strategies and behaviors that are prohibited

• News trading within restricted event windows.
• High-frequency trading and tick scalping.
• Automated strategies, bots, and expert advisors.
• Copy trading, signal services, and mirrored execution.
• Martingale, grid, and progressive position-stacking strategies.
• Trades shorter than 30 seconds in duration.
• Latency arbitrage and exploitation of platform execution delays.
• Account sharing or allowing third parties to access or trade the account.

Weekend positions

Gravity 2 Step does not restrict weekend holding by default. However, traders should be aware that significant price gaps can occur when markets reopen Monday. Holding large positions over the weekend is a risk management decision — it is permitted under the program but not advisable near drawdown limits.

What happens when you complete Phase 2

When you hit Phase 2's 4% profit target with at least three valid trading days completed, the account moves into a funded account review. This review takes 24 to 48 hours. Your account stays live during this period — data keeps syncing and all risk rules still apply.

The funded phase and payout eligibility

After review is approved, the account advances to the funded phase. You keep trading. The same trading rules apply — same drawdown limits, same margin requirement, same strategy prohibitions. Since Gravity 2 Step already has no time limit on phases, funded phase works the same way. After 14 days from when the funded phase begins, the account becomes eligible for a payout request.

Scaling

Traders who maintain consistent performance on their funded accounts may be considered for scaling toward a total managed capital of up to $1,000,000. Scaling is not automatic — it requires sustained performance, compliance with all rules, and approval from the firm. Details on the scaling path are available from the dashboard once you reach funded stage.
