Hola Prime 2-Step Prime Challenge

Question

Accepted Answer

Phases for the 2-Step Prime Challenge
The Hola Prime 2-Step Prime challenge consists of two phases that must be completed to become a Hola Prime trader and gain access to a Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account. After purchasing the account, traders will straightaway receive their login credentials via email, which can also be viewed through the &lsquo;Account Overview&rsquo; tab on the dashboard by clicking the &lsquo;Key&rsquo; icon.
Next Steps After Passing the Challenge
Once you hit your profit target, the transition to your professional account involves a standard verification process:
- 
Risk Review: Our Risk Team will promptly conduct a review of your entire challenge phase to ensure all rules were followed.
- 
KYC & Agreements: While waiting, you can upload your documents for KYC and sign your contract under the &ldquo;Agreements&rdquo; tab.
- 
Account Issuance: After the review is finalized, you will receive the credentials for your official Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account.
The Challenge Phases:
These phases are designed to test your ability to achieve goals while showing disciplined risk management over a consistent period. This phase is best suited for swing trades. To succeed, it is important to have a flexible trading system and a strong risk management strategy.
Trading Objectives:
- Achieve the Profit Targets: Reach the specified targets for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 to pass the evaluation.
- Phase 1 Target: Traders need to earn a profit equal to 8% of the initial account balance.
- Phase 2 Target: In the second phase, the profit target decreases to just 5% based on the initial account balance.
- Complete a minimum of 3 trading days in each phase to qualify for the next step.
- Adhere to all trading rules: If any of the rules are not followed, the account will be permanently suspended (though you may purchase a new challenge to try again).
The Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account
Once you successfully pass the review and KYC process, you will be offered the opportunity to trade on the Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account and begin earning payouts.
Trading Rules - Account Violations (Hard Breach)
A hard breach is a critical violation of core risk management rules that leads to the immediate and permanent termination of the trading account.
Daily Loss Limit
The Daily Loss Limit is the maximum amount you can lose in a single day. For Phase 1 and 2 Challenge Accounts, this limit is set at 5% (4% for $200k accounts) of the previous day's closing balance. 
The Formula: Daily Loss Limit = Previous Day's Closing Balance - (Previous Day's Closing Balance &times; 5%)
Calculation: The loss for the day is the sum of your current floating PnL plus the total PnL of closed trades for that day.
Example 1 (100k Account): Assume your initial account balance is $100,000. The Daily Loss Limit is 5%, which equals $5,000. This means your equity or balance cannot fall below $95,000 ($100,000 &minus; $5,000) at any time during the day.
Example 2 (Intraday Profit): If at the end of day 2, your account&rsquo;s closing balance is $110,000, then the loss limit for Day 3 would be $5,500 ($110,000 * 5%). This means your equity on Day 3 can't go below $104,500. If during the day, you make a profit of $7,000, then the allowable loss for that day increases to $12,500 ($110,000 * 5% + $7,000).
Example 3 (Floating Loss): You have a $110,000 trading account with a $5,500 daily limit. If you realize a closed loss of $3,000 and then initiate another trade, your account will breach the rule if your running trades exceed a floating loss of $2,500.
Daily Reset Timer: The Daily Loss Limit resets every day at 17:00 EST server time. You can always monitor the reset timer on your Hola Prime dashboard to see exactly when your daily loss limit resets. 
Max. Loss Limit
The Max. Loss Limit (also known as the Maximum Drawdown) is the ultimate safety net for your account. For Phase 1 and 2 Challenge Accounts, this limit is set at 10% (8% for $200k accounts) of the initial account balance. If your account balance or equity ever drops below the 90% (92% for $200K accounts) threshold of your initial balance, the account will be permanently closed.
The Formula: Max. Loss Limit = Initial Balance &ndash; (Initial Balance &times; 10%)
Example: The Standard "Floor"
You purchase a $100,000 2-Step Prime account.
Calculation: 10% of $100,000 is $10,000.
The "Floor": Your account equity or balance can never drop below $90,000 ($100,000 &ndash; $10,000).
Outcome: Whether it is day 1 or day 50, if your equity or balance falls below $90,000, the account is terminated.
Calculation Details: The rule states that the sum of the current floating PnL (Profit and Loss) and the realized PnL (Profit and Loss) on all closed positions must not hit the Max. Loss Limit.
2% Risk Rule (Funded & Direct Accounts)
Your risk per trade idea must not exceed 2% of your initial account balance.
This rule applies exclusively to Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts and Direct Accounts. It does not apply during the Challenge phase. A violation of this rule is considered a hard breach and will result in account termination.
Stop Loss Requirement
Risk is determined by the maximum potential loss on a trade based on the stop loss placement.
- A Stop Loss is mandatory on every trade. Trades without Stop Loss are considered to have infinite risk. If the floating (unrealized) loss on such a trade or trade idea exceeds 2% of the initial account balance at any time, the account will be terminated.
- Failure to comply with this requirement constitutes a hard breach and result in account termination.
Once the stop loss requirement is met, risk is assessed based on the Single Trade Idea rule. This includes
- Layering / Splitting Positions
- 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
Layering/Splitting positions
If you open multiple positions on the same assets, same direction, with overlapping time (e.g., multiple "Buy" orders on EUR/USD), they are collectively treated as one single trade idea. This includes multiple entries opened and/or closed at different times.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such overlapping positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.
The combined risk of all these positions cannot exceed the 2% limit. View Example ▾

Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
As all three positions were opened on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and were active simultaneously, they are classified as a single trade idea in accordance with the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
Compliance Outcome:
The combined risk exposure for this trade idea exceeded the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000). Accordingly, this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
The 10-Minute Re-entry Rule
If you close a position and then open a new one in the same direction on the same assets within 10 minutes, the system considers this a continuation of the same trade idea.
Any continuous sequence or chain of such closely timed positions will also be treated as one single trade idea for risk calculation purposes.

Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
- Trade 2 was opened 31 minutes after Trade 1 had been closed. As the time gap exceeded 10 minutes, Trade 2 is classified as a new trade idea.
- Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 had been closed. As it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of the previous position being closed, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
- Trade 4 was opened 6 minutes after Trade 3 had been closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes, it is also considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
Total Risk Exposure (Trade 2 + Trade 3 + Trade 4):
1.0% + 1.5% + 0.8% = 3.3% ($3,300)
Compliance Outcome:
Although Trade 2 began a new trade idea, both Trade 3 and Trade 4 were opened within 10 minutes of the preceding trade being closed. Therefore, Trade 2, Trade 3, and Trade 4 are treated as a single trade idea.
Since the combined risk exposure for this trade idea is 3.3% ($3,300), exceeding the maximum permitted limit of 2% ($2,000), this constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
Layering Positions Followed by Re-entry Within 10 Minutes
This example demonstrates how overlapping positions and a subsequent re-entry within 10 minutes on the same asset and in the same direction are treated as a single trade idea.

Risk per Trade Idea Assessment
Trade 1 and Trade 2 overlapped in time on the same trading instrument and in the same direction. Therefore, they are treated as a single trade idea.
Trade 3 was opened 5 minutes after Trade 2 was closed. Since it was executed on the same trading instrument, in the same direction, and within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2, it is considered a continuation of the same trade idea.
Total Risk Exposure (Trade 1 + Trade 2 + Trade 3):
0.5% + 1.0% + 0.6% = 2.1% ($2,100)
Compliance Outcome:
Trade 1 and Trade 2 are considered a single trade idea due to their overlapping duration. Trade 3 is treated as a continuation of the same trade idea, as it was opened within 10 minutes of closing Trade 2. Accordingly, all three trades are assessed as one continuous trade idea.
The combined risk exposure across these trades was 2.1% ($2,100), exceeding the maximum permitted Risk per Trade Idea limit of 2% ($2,000). This constitutes a hard breach of the Risk per Trade Idea policy.
Additional Guidelines
General risk management rules should always be followed, and traders should operate the account as if it were their own capital. Please refer to prohibited gambling behavior for further details.
*Using prohibited trading practices may result in a reduction of the risk limit to 1% as a preventive measure. Any such changes will be communicated via official channels.
Inactivity
Any trading account (challenge or Funded) inactive for consecutive 30 calendar days will be permanently suspended. A trading day refers to a day when at least one trade is opened as it counts towards an active trading day. Closing the trade, modifying the stop loss or take profit, or placing a pending order does not count as a trading day.
Example: If your last trade was opened on January 1st, you must open a new position by January 30th. If no activity occurs by January 31st, the account is breached due to inactivity.

A profitable trading day is defined as a day when closed positions generate a net profit of at least 0.5% of the initial account balance.
- 
Example: For an account with an initial balance of $100,000, a day is considered profitable if you close the day with a minimum of $500 in net profit ($100,000 &times; 0.005 = $500).

Consistency Requirement: Traders must maintain a Consistency Score of up to 40%. This means your biggest winning day cannot exceed 40% of the total profits on the account.
- 
Formula: Consistency Score = (Biggest Winning Day / Current Total Account Profit) &times; 100%
- 
Example: If your highest daily profit is $11,250 and your total profit is $25,000, your score is 45%. You must continue trading to earn a total profit of at least $28,125 to bring the score down to 40%.
Minimum Profit Required: A minimum total profit of 2% of the initial account balance is required to be eligible for payout.
