Every stage of the Paragon evaluation is published before you buy — the targets, the loss limits, the funding timeline, and the withdrawal terms. Here is the whole path, in order.
Choose a One Step, Two Step, or Three Step plan and an account size, then create your account on DXtrade, MatchTrader, cTrader, or GooeyPro (via GooeyTrader). You must be at least 18, or the minimum legal age in your country. Charges appear on your statement as dashboardanalytix.com. Assessments must be traded on an account we provide, so our risk software can track your progress in near real time.
One Step: 10% target, 5% daily loss limit, 6% trailing drawdown. Two Step: 10% then 5% targets, 4% daily loss limit, 8% static drawdown. Three Step: 5% per step, no daily loss limit, 5% static drawdown. There is no minimum trading day requirement and no max-time requirement — the only clock is the inactivity rule, which hard-breaches an account after 30 consecutive days without a trade.
When you pass, you receive an email with instructions for Know Your Customer verification and your Trader Agreement. Once both are completed and supporting documentation is provided, your funded account is typically created and issued within 24–48 business hours, and you get a confirmation email as it is enabled.
The funded account runs exactly the same rules as your assessment, with one difference: there is no profit target. Capital is notional and backed by the Company, which does not change your trading conditions in any way. Before a funded account is issued, trading activity is reviewed by the Company and the Liquidity Provider.
Click Withdraw Profits in the trader dashboard. Your first withdrawal can be requested at any time; after that, once every 30 days. You keep 75% of gains as standard, or 90% with the Profit Share add-on. On any approved withdrawal, the maximum trailing drawdown locks at your starting balance — withdrawing all gains locks it at the starting balance and forfeits the funded account, so most traders take partial payouts.
The daily loss limit resets each day at 5:00 PM EST and is calculated from the greater of the prior day's end-of-day balance (closed P&L only) or end-of-day equity (balance plus open P&L). A breach is a hard breach. The Three Step plan has no daily loss limit.
Static max drawdown is set as a percentage of your starting balance and never trails. The maximum trailing drawdown trails on closed balance — not equity — until the pre-defined return is achieved, then locks at your starting balance and never moves again.
A soft breach closes the offending trades and you keep trading. A hard breach — daily loss limit, max drawdown, or 30-day inactivity — fails the assessment or removes the funded account. If gains are in a funded account at the time of a hard breach, those gains are forfeited unless the Payout Protector add-on was purchased — with it, you remain eligible for your applicable share of the gains held at the time of the breach, subject to the normal payout requirements and the Terms and Conditions.
All trades must be closed by 3:45pm EST on Friday unless the Hold Over Weekend add-on (10% of plan cost) has been purchased. Trades left open are closed automatically — a soft breach. Only crypto instruments are available for weekend trading.
One evaluation per specific account size and plan tier at a time across all platforms. Account sizes run from $5,000 up to $500,000. There are no compounding limits on a funded balance.
Opening a position within 3 minutes before or after a News Event, gambling-style risk, group or signal trading, passing services, off-the-shelf "pass the challenge" strategies, arbitrage between accounts, and exploiting Liquidity Provider pricing errors are all prohibited. Automated strategies are permitted subject to that policy.
Billing note: at the payment step, your assessment charge appears on your statement as dashboardanalytix.com — please recognise this descriptor before disputing a charge.
Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Passing an assessment is not guaranteed and nothing here is a guarantee of funding, profit, or payout.
