Express (1 Step) Challenge 50k at its $319 one-time price. Hantec runs several other programs (Instant, Enhanced, EnhancedX, Endurance) at different prices; this is its single-stage evaluation. Add-ons raise the price by 20–30% each (95% split, weekly payouts, first payout on demand, news trading). Codes NEW35 and SAVE15 currently apply to the 50k.

Rules at a glance

The Express Challenge rules as Hantec's own knowledge base states them, including the ones that only apply once you are funded.

DD
Maximum total loss
6%
Measured against your starting balance, but it trails your closed balance as you profit — so giving back a realised gain moves the line with you. Once you are 6% up it locks at the starting balance for good.
!
Maximum daily loss
5%
Recalculated at 00:00 server time for the next day, on the higher of your closing balance or equity — so a day that ends in profit raises the following day's floor.
T
Profit target
10%
Your balance must be 10% above the starting balance with no open positions. There is no target once you are funded, and a paid add-on cuts the challenge target to 8%.
*
Trading period
No limits
No minimum trading days and no maximum period on the challenge. One trade every 30 days is required though: a month of inactivity is a hard breach and deactivates the account.
N
News trading
Funded only restriction
Unrestricted during the challenge. On a funded account you cannot open or close a trade within three minutes either side of a red-folder Forex Factory release unless you buy the News Trading add-on.
O
Maximum open risk
3% when funded
Funded accounts cap combined floating loss across all open positions at 3% of the starting balance — $1,500 on a 50k account. Going beyond it is a hard breach, and there is no equivalent rule during the challenge.

Frequently asked

Answered from Hantec's own rules article. Where a figure is an add-on rather than the default, the answer says which.

What profit split do I actually get? +
The default is 80%. The 95% figure on Hantec's marketing is an add-on that raises the price of the challenge by 30%. Four other add-ons are priced the same way — weekly payouts instead of 14-day, a 2% lower profit target, 2% more maximum loss, and first payout on demand — so the headline terms and the terms you buy can differ by a lot.
When can I request my first payout? +
Fourteen calendar days after your first funded trade, unless you bought the First Payout On Demand add-on, which moves it to the first day after you are funded. The standard cycle is every 14 days (7 with the weekly add-on) and the minimum request is $20. Hantec approves requests within 24 business hours or doubles the reward, up to $1,000.
What does the Express Challenge cost? +
$319 for the 50k as a one-time fee, read from the logged-out checkout page; the ladder starts at $39 for the 2k. Each add-on adds 20-30% to that price. Hantec also runs Instant, Enhanced, EnhancedX and Endurance programmes at different prices — this entry tracks the Express, its standard single-stage evaluation.
Is the 6% drawdown static? +
No, and this is the detail most comparison sites get wrong, ourselves included until September 2026. Hantec's article states the 6% maximum total loss "will trail your closed balance", locking at your starting balance once you are 6% in profit. It is gentler than an intraday equity trail, because open positions do not move it, but it is not the fixed line a static model gives you.
Can I hold trades over the weekend? +
Yes, on both the challenge and the funded account, and crypto may be traded through the weekend as well. Hantec warns about weekend gaps and thin liquidity at the Sunday open, which is a real risk when your daily loss limit is recalculated on Monday's opening equity. Expert advisors are allowed at both stages, and stop losses are not required.
