Best 1-Step Flex Prop Firm Accounts: Every Account Size and Rule in 2026

Direct answer: Next Level Funded currently displays five 1-Step Flex prop firm account sizes: $50k, $100k, $200k, $400k, and $500k. Each lists a 10% profit target and 6% overall drawdown; the $50k account has a 3% daily drawdown, while the larger four sizes list 4%. The practical choice starts with comparing the displayed price and account size, then confirming that the drawdown rules and funded-stage requirements fit how you trade.

1-Step Flex account sizes and current rules

The 1-Step Flex range uses the same core evaluation metrics across all five account sizes, with one important daily-loss difference at $50k. The table below brings the currently displayed information into one place for traders researching a prop trading challenge. Displayed prices are current at the time of writing and should be checked again with the current terms before checkout.

Current displayed 1-Step Flex prop firm account sizes and key rules

Account size	Current displayed price	Profit target	Overall drawdown	Daily drawdown	Payouts shown
$50k	$49	10%	6%	3%	On-Demand
$100k	$99	10%	6%	4%	On-Demand
$200k	$199	10%	6%	4%	On-Demand
$400k	$399	10%	6%	4%	On-Demand
$500k	$499	10%	6%	4%	On-Demand

Every listed account in this 1-Step Flex range also shows a 100% rewards split, no consistency requirement, no minimum trading days, news trading allowed, and weekend holding allowed. These are useful reference points, but they do not replace reading the applicable account terms. In particular, an on-demand payout listing means eligible reward requests are available on demand subject to the applicable terms and review process.

How the core 1-Step Flex trading rules work

The evaluation objective and drawdown rules

The displayed profit objective is 10% for every available account size. At the same time, the overall drawdown limit is 6%. The fact pack defines this as the maximum total drawdown permitted; reaching or exceeding that limit breaches the account. Daily drawdown is the maximum loss permitted during a trading day. It is 3% on the $50k account and 4% on the $100k, $200k, $400k, and $500k accounts.

For a trader comparing prop firm account options, that daily distinction deserves careful attention. The account size alone does not tell the whole story: the $50k 1-Step Flex account has its own 3% daily drawdown figure, whereas each larger size displays 4%. Keep both drawdown rules visible in a trading plan rather than focusing only on the profit target. A strategy that aims for the target but cannot remain inside the stated daily and overall limits is not aligned with the listed trading rules.

Flexibility shown in the model

The 1-Step Flex model lists no consistency requirement and no minimum number of trading days before the evaluation can be completed. It also lists news trading and weekend holding as allowed. Those features may matter to a trader whose method involves scheduled market events or positions that remain open into a weekend. They do not override the applicable risk limits; the listed drawdown rules continue to apply.

The account cards also show Expert Advisors as allowed, subject to the account rules. That is relevant only if it matches the trader's own approach and the current terms. It should not be treated as permission to disregard any other listed account condition.

Funded-stage requirements and payout rules to note

Researching funded trading means looking beyond the evaluation numbers. For every 1-Step Flex size, the displayed funded-stage requirements include 10 minimum trades, a 2% floating PnL condition, and a two-minute minimum hold rule. The minimum-trades figure is specifically shown as a funded-stage requirement. The two-minute rule means a position must be held for at least two minutes under that funded-stage rule.

On payout rules, each card lists on-demand payouts and a 100% rewards split. The catalog describes the split as the share of eligible rewards paid to the trader under the model, subject to applicable account terms. It is therefore sensible to distinguish a listed rewards split from a promise about a result. Before buying, review the then-current account terms and checkout information, including the conditions relevant to eligible reward requests and review.

Who a 1-Step Flex prop firm account may suit

This range may suit a trader looking for a single listed 10% profit objective rather than a model with multiple displayed phase targets, while still wanting to compare several account-size choices. It may also appeal to someone who values the displayed absence of a consistency requirement and minimum trading days, or who wants a model that lists news trading and weekend holding as allowed.

Within the range, the $50k account may be worth a closer look for a trader who specifically wants that account size and understands its 3% daily drawdown. The $100k through $500k accounts share the displayed 4% daily drawdown, so their comparison is mainly between the available account size and current displayed price: $99, $199, $399, and $499 respectively. This is not a recommendation for a particular size. A suitable account depends on a trader's risk limits, method, and ability to follow the trading rules.

Rule trade-offs to weigh before choosing

The main trade-off is straightforward: all five cards show the same 10% profit target and 6% overall drawdown, but the daily drawdown changes from 3% at $50k to 4% on the larger account sizes. No minimum trading days and no displayed consistency requirement may simplify the evaluation structure for some traders. However, they do not remove the need to manage daily and overall losses carefully.

There is also a useful distinction between permission and requirement. News trading, weekend holding, and Expert Advisors are listed as allowed; a trader does not have to use them. By contrast, the funded-stage section lists 10 minimum trades, a 2% floating PnL condition, and a two-minute minimum hold rule. Treat those as items to understand before selecting an account. On-demand payouts and a 100% rewards split are shown in the catalog, but eligible requests remain subject to applicable account terms and review.

How to select an account size in four steps

1. Start with the five displayed account sizes and the current displayed prices, rather than assuming one size fits every trader.
2. Match the $50k account's 3% daily drawdown or the larger accounts' 4% daily drawdown to the risk limits you can follow consistently, while also accounting for the 6% overall drawdown.
3. Confirm that the 10% profit target, the funded-stage minimum of 10 trades, the 2% floating PnL condition, and the two-minute minimum hold rule are clear to you.
4. Visit the Next Level Funded trading page to review the current account selection, terms, and checkout details before making a purchase.
