1-Step, 2-Step or Instant: Choosing the Right IXU Challenge

Three routes to funding at IXU Capital. Here's how the 1-Step, 2-Step and Instant models differ and which suits your trading style.

IXU Capital offers three paths to a funded account. They share the same guarantees — up to 90% split, payouts in 5 hours — but differ in how you qualify.

1-Step

One evaluation phase. Hit the target once, respect the rules, and you're funded. The fastest route for confident, consistent traders.

2-Step

Two phases with lower targets each. The highest-value model, and your fee comes back with your 4th payout. Ideal for disciplined traders who prefer a steadier target.

Instant

No target and no evaluation — funded from day one, with payouts on demand. For experienced traders who want to skip the queue.

Which should you pick?

  • Want the direct route and trust your edge? 1-Step.
  • Prefer smaller targets and your fee refunded? 2-Step.
  • Ready to trade funded immediately? Instant.

Whichever you choose, your rules are locked at purchase and shown on your dashboard from the first minute.
