Starboard - Overview

Understand how the Starboard challenge works, including structure, objectives, and progression to funding.

Updated over a week ago

The Starboard challenge is a two-phase evaluation designed for traders who want a balance between flexibility and structured risk control.

It features:

  • A trailing drawdown model

  • A lower consistency requirement

  • Faster payout access once funded

This makes it suitable for traders who can perform consistently while maintaining controlled risk.

  2. Reach 5% in Phase 2

  3. Trade for at least 5 days

  4. Respect all drawdown rules

Example

A trader starts with a 100K account:

  • Phase 1 target = 10,000

  • Phase 2 target = 5,000

Once both are achieved without breaching rules, the account becomes funded.


Key Notes

  • No time limit to complete either phase

  • Trailing drawdown applies in both challenge and funded

  • Funded stage introduces faster payout cycles
