Funded Flow

If you’ve ever passed Phase 1 of a funded challenge, you probably felt unstoppable.

But here’s the brutal truth: passing Phase 1 means almost nothing.

Prop firms know most traders can get lucky over a few days.

The real test is Phase 2... and that’s where the majority of traders fail.

In this blog, I’ll show you why Phase 2 is designed to expose weaknesses… and how you can actually survive it.

1. Phase 1 Is Just the Interview

Think of Phase 1 as your job interview.

Firms only want to filter out the reckless traders who blow accounts on day one.

That’s why the profit target is usually higher, they want to see if you can hustle under pressure.

But passing doesn’t prove consistency… it just proves you can have a good streak.

FundedFlow Angle: Our system builds habits from day one that look consistent, not lucky.

Phase 2 flips the script: lower profit target, same drawdown rules, more time.

That’s where traders implode.

Why?

Because they relax after Phase 1 and start taking shortcuts.

Firms know this... they’re not checking if you can make money fast, they’re checking if you can make money sustainably.

FundedFlow Angle: We train you to approach Phase 1 as if it’s Phase 2, so there’s no shift in mindset that sabotages you.

Firms don’t care about a single $5k day.

They care about whether you can repeat small gains over weeks.

In Phase 2, they’re looking for smooth equity curves, realistic lot sizes, and controlled risk. One spike can ruin your evaluation.

FundedFlow Angle: Our journals and trackers keep your growth steady, so your results look like skill, not chance.

Many traders go all-in emotionally during Phase 1 and by the time Phase 2 arrives, they’re drained.

They take sloppy trades, lose patience, and tilt. The firms know this cycle… and they profit from it.

👉 FundedFlow Angle: Our reset + review process trains you to keep emotions in check, even after the high of Phase 1.

The trick is to treat every phase like a live funded account.

No shortcuts, no oversized positions, no gambling.

If you can’t handle the rules in the challenge, you won’t handle them when money is on the line.

FundedFlow Angle: We don’t just train you to “pass.” We train you to trade sustainably so funded accounts actually last.

In a nutshell...

Phase 1 makes you feel like you’ve made it… but Phase 2 is where traders are exposed.

If you want to survive, stop thinking in phases altogether.

Trade like you’re funded from day one, and you’ll finally break the cycle of passing Phase 1, failing Phase 2.

At FundedFlow, we mirror prop firm rules across both phases.

You’ll learn to build consistency from the start, control risk like a pro, and pass challenges the way firms actually want you to.
