You have the flexibility to assign different challenges and packages to specific client groups, tailoring offerings to their unique business requirements. Assigned client groups gain visibility of the challenge and packages, while unassigned groups won't have access.
All client groups will be automatically selected by default for existing challenges and packages.
Modifying assigned client groups is possible even after the challenge has commenced.
Existing challengers can still view and participate in the challenge, even if they are not part of the assigned client groups. However, upon completion or full failure of the challenge, participants will no longer have visibility of the challenge.
To assign a challenge/package to client groups:
Locate the challenge/package and click the "Client Groups" icon.
Select the client groups where the challenge and package will be visible.
Click "Save."
If a challenge or package does not have any assigned client group, an "!" icon will remind you to make an assignment.

The duplicated challenge will be automatically saved as a draft.
The CRM compares the latest obtained equity with the equity at the end of the previous day to determine if the trader has reached the maximum daily loss threshold.
Challenge fails when: Latest Equity - Previous Day Equity ≤ - Maximum Daily Loss
For Example:
Initial Equity: $10,000
Maximum Daily Loss = 5% x $10,000 = $500
The CRM compares the latest obtained equity with the initial equity to determine if the trader has reached the maximum loss threshold.
Challenge fails when: Latest Equity - Initial Equity ≤ - Maximum Loss
For Example: Initial Equity: $10,000
Maximum Loss = 10% x $10,000 = $1,000

Select the profit sharing settlement period:
Profit Sharing Every Fixed Number of Days - you will need to specify the required number of days.
Day X of Every Month - you will need to enter the desired day. If set to the 31st day and the month lacks a 31st, the settlement will automatically occur on the last day of the month.
Manual - This means that profit sharing settlements will only be triggered manually by you. Exceptions are when your trader passes or fails a challenge; in these cases, the system will automatically initiate profit sharing settlement.
Configure the Profit Sharing Conditions:
Minimum Days After Account Creation: The minimum number of days that must pass after a trader's account is created before they qualify for profit sharing. For example, if set to 5 days, profit sharing will only be considered after 5 days from the account creation date.
Minimum Trading Days: The minimum number of days a trader must have placed trades before qualifying for profit sharing. For example, if set to 3 days, profit sharing will only be considered after the trader has placed trades on at least 3 separate days.
You can configure these conditions with an "AND" or "OR" policy.
The "AND" policy means both conditions must be fulfilled.
The "OR" policy means either condition can be fulfilled.
Minimum Profit: The minimum profit a trader must achieve to qualify for profit sharing. For example, if set to $1,000, the trader must have a closed P&L of at least $1,000, calculated as current balance - initial balance.
Similarly, you can configure either "AND" policy or "OR" policy.
Profitable Days: The number of profitable days required for a trader to be eligible for profit sharing.
Profit: Defined as a percentage of the initial balance. For example, if the initial balance is $100,000 and the required percentage is 8%, the trader must make at least $8,000 in profit for the day to be counted as a profitable day.
Number of Days: The minimum number of profitable days required.
Choose between automatic or manual profit sharing methods.
Manual Distribution: Manual review and approval from you are required before the profit sharing amount is distributed to the recipients' wallet.
Automatic Distribution: The system automatically calculates and distributes the profit sharing amount to the intended recipients' wallet. No manual intervention is needed.
Indicate the upline client types eligible to receive profit sharing distribution—either all client types or IBs only.

This resets after each profit-sharing settlement. If a profit-sharing settlement has occurred, the trader must meet the condition again from the start for the next cycle.
Once a day
Once every 2 days
Once every 3 days
If the frequency is set to "Once a day," a follow-up notification will be sent the following day after the initial one. Similarly, with a "Once every 2 days" setting, notifications will be sent two days later.
If the trading period is set to unlimited for any stage of the prop challenge, this notification setting will not apply.
Data is calculated every 10 minutes, and if the threshold is met, a notification will be sent.
To prevent spamming clients during periods of market volatility, only one notification will be sent per day, even if the threshold is repeatedly triggered.
You can specify a step-up value for follow-up notifications.
For instance, if the step-up value is set to $200, after the initial notification at $500, the next notification will be sent when total losses reach $700, followed by another at $900, and so on, based on the example above.
Data is calculated every 10 minutes, and if the threshold is met, a notification will be sent.
