Definition
Profit target is the amount or percentage of profit required to pass a challenge phase.
Why it matters in comparisons
A high target with tight drawdown can create pressure to overtrade or oversize. FundedFinder treats this as comparison research only, not a recommendation to buy a challenge or place a trade.
Example scenario
An 8% target with a 5% maximum loss requires careful pacing and realistic trade sizing. The exact numbers and conditions can vary by provider, account size, market and challenge type.
What to verify
- Compare target percentage with drawdown percentage.
- Check whether there are phase-one and phase-two targets.
- Review minimum trading days.
- Avoid treating the target as a reason to increase risk suddenly.
Verification note
Use official provider pages as the source of truth because prop firm rules and fees can change.
FundedFinder is informational only. Glossary pages explain terms and rule concepts; they do not recommend buying a challenge or placing a trade.
Common questions

No. Similar terms can be calculated differently across providers, challenge types, account sizes and markets.
Should prop firm traders rely on this glossary page alone?
No. Use official provider pages as the source of truth because prop firm rules and fees can change.
