What is Evaluation phase
One stage of a prop evaluation with its own profit target and deadline: a second usually follows the first, with a smaller target and the same limits.
How it works
Example
A $100,000 account. Phase 1: an 8% target, or $8,000. Phase 2: a 5% target, or $5,000, counted from zero off the same starting balance. Together you need to earn $13,000.
Common mistake
Treating phase 2 as a formality and raising risk: the limits are the same and phase 1 progress does not carry over.
