The minimum percentage gain required to pass a prop firm evaluation phase. Typically 6-8% for Phase 1 and 4-5% for Phase 2.
Profit targets vary by firm: FTMO requires 8%/5%, FundedNext 8%/5%, The 5%ers 6%/6%, Blue Guardian 8%/4%, Topstep 6% (one phase). Lower targets are easier to reach but may come with tighter drawdown limits. The key insight: most traders focus on reaching the profit target but fail due to drawdown breaches. Protecting capital is more important than aggressive profit-seeking.
