Evaluation Target Progress Tracker

Hit your Evaluation targets faster — 10% (Phase 1) / 5% (Phase 2)

Track progress in dollars and %, plan the remaining average, and see pass/fail status at a glance.

Updated: August 27, 2025 · U.S. Evaluation

Snapshot: In FTMO’s Evaluation, the typical targets are 10% (Phase-1) and 5% (Phase-2) of the initial balance. Many traders also need to satisfy a minimum trading days condition (commonly 4 per phase). Use the tracker to monitor both the profit target and the min-days requirement alongside your live P/L.

How to use this tracker (and actually pass)

Set the right phase. Phase-1 target is typically 10%; Phase-2 is 5%. Use Custom % if your offer differs.
Count costs. Commissions and swaps reduce your net progress — add them here so your numbers match the platform.
Closed vs floating. Passing is evaluated on realized results; the “Now” line shows where you’d be if you flattened.
Min trading days. Many traders need at least 4 unique trading days in each phase — track them here so you don’t finish too early.
Average needed per day. If the required average looks unrealistic, reduce risk and extend your planned timeline rather than forcing trades.

Worked examples (so the math is crystal-clear)

Phase	Initial	Target %	Closed	Open	Costs	Progress (now)	Min days met?	Pass?
Phase-1	$100,000	10%	$9,200	$1,300	$−200	($9,200 + $1,300 − $200) = $10,300	Yes (≥4)	Flatten → Pass
Phase-2	$200,000	5%	$7,600	$−300	$−100	$7,200	No (2/4)	Not yet (need days)

Notes & best practices

Avoid last-day heroics. If you’re close, down-shift size and let the opportunity come to you. Don’t risk an MDL/ML breach to chase the final 0.3%.
Bank partials. Taking partial profits can push closed P/L above the line even if you keep a runner.
Journal your % path. Plan milestones (e.g., 3% → 6% → 8% → 10%) and review setup quality weekly.

Pass with less stress

Track your real progress, respect MDL/ML, and give yourself room to succeed.

FAQs — Evaluation targets

What are the typical Evaluation targets?

Phase-1 is usually 10% of the initial balance; Phase-2 is 5%. Always confirm the exact conditions shown in your dashboard/email.

Do I need a minimum number of trading days?

Many traders must complete at least 4 unique trading days in each phase. Track your days here and on your platform’s stats.

Does floating P/L count?

Progress is ultimately measured on realized (closed) results. The tracker shows both closed-only and “now” (if you flattened) so you can decide when to lock it in.
