How to Get Started with my first challenge

Step-by-step guide to creating your account, choosing a Challenge, and beginning your evaluation.

Getting started takes just a few minutes. You can either create a free account to explore the platform first, or jump straight into purchasing a Challenge.

1. Two Ways to Get Started: Create an Account First or Start by Purchasing a Challenge

  • Register First (Browse the Portal): Navigate to the P1 homepage and click Create Account. Enter your personal details, verify your email address, and gain immediate access to your trading dashboard where you can explore before buying.

  • Direct Purchase: Click Get Challenge from the homepage to immediately begin building your evaluation. You will simply enter your personal details during the checkout flow.

2. Select and Customize Your Challenge

Whether from inside your dashboard or via the direct purchase page, you can build a Challenge that specifically matches your trading style. You will be prompted to select:

  • Challenge Type: 2-Step, 1-Step, or Instant Challenge.

  • Trading Strategy: Day Trading or Swing Trading.

  • Account Size: Choose your preferred starting virtual balance.

  • Base Currency: USD, EUR, or JPY.

  • Trading Platform: MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

  • Add-Ons (Optional): Tailor your rules with percentage-based upgrades (e.g., Double Leverage, Payout Boosts).

3. Complete Checkout & Receive Credentials

Once you have configured your customized evaluation, click Complete Purchase, then Complete Payment in the pop-up. On the checkout page, enter your payment details and click Pay for Order. As soon as your payment is confirmed, your new trading credentials will be issued to you automatically.

4. Review the Rules Before You Trade

Before placing your first trade, please review the information in this Help Center, alongside our Terms & Conditions and our policies, including the Payout Policy and the Cancellation and Refund Policy.

Important Note: We put the objectives and rules front and center for a reason. The vast majority of avoidable breaches occur simply because a trader started without fully understanding the risk framework. Taking a few minutes to read the rules up front is the single best predictor of successfully passing your Challenge.
