# Build Your Yard Configurator
#### 1. Open the Challenge Configurator
Go to the [TradersYard Challenges page](https://tradersyard.com/challenges/get-funded) and open the Build Your Yard configurator.
#### 2. Choose Challenge Structure (1-Step vs 2-Step)
Select:
* 1-Step Challenge
* 2-Step Challenge
What this affects:
* 1-Step: Faster to get funded since there is only one phase to get on a Funded Account
* 2-Step: Requires passing two phases to get on a Funded Account
#### 3. Choose Your Account Type
Select the type of challenge you want to build.
Example:
* FX Challenge
* Futures Challenge (coming soon)
#### 4. Select Your Account Size
Choose the starting account balance you want to trade with.
Example: $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000
**What this affects:**
* Larger accounts → higher profit potential
* Also affects:
* drawdown limits
* max lot size
* overall risk exposure
#### 5. Adjust Profit Target
Set how much profit you need to pass the challenge.
What this affects:
* Higher target → harder to pass, cheaper challenge
* Lower target → easier to pass, usually higher price
#### 6. Configure Drawdown Rules
Set:
* Daily drawdown (FX only)
* Maximum drawdown
**What this affects:**
* Lower drawdown → safer but stricter
* Higher drawdown → more flexibility but higher cost
* Static vs trailing:
* Static = fixed limit
* Trailing = moves with your profit
#### 7. Choose Consistency Rule
i) Options:
* **< 40%**
* **None**
**Effect:**
* **<40%:** You must avoid making most profit in one day → promotes steady trading
* **None:** No restriction → more freedom, but typically higher cost
ii) Choose Minimum Profitable Days
Options:
* **3 days**
* **6 days**
**Effect:**
* 3 days → faster completion
* 6 days → enforces consistency
#### **8. Reward Split (Funded Stage)**
(Displayed as funded condition)
Your profit is split in tiers:
* First $300 → 100%
* $300–$1,000 → 90%
* Above $1,000 → 80%
This determines how much profit you keep after funding.
#### 9. Choose Reward Frequency
Options:
* **15 days**
* **30 days**
**Effect:**
* 15 days → faster payouts
* 30 days → slower payouts but typically cheaper
#### 10. Allow News Trading
Options:
* **Yes**
* **No**
**Effect:**
* Yes → more opportunities, higher risk
* No → safer, avoids volatility
*(Note: Always restricted on funded accounts regardless)*
#### 11. Choose Leverage
Options:
* **Up to 1:30**
* **Up to 1:75**
**Effect:**
* Higher leverage → larger positions, higher risk
* Lower leverage → safer trading
#### 12. Understand the Funded Column (Right Side)
This shows **what happens after you pass**.
Key points:
* **Profit Target → Removed (No target once funded)**
* **Drawdown rules → Still apply**
* **Reward split → Active**
* **Reward frequency → Active**
* **News trading → Always restricted**
**Important:**\
Some settings you choose in the configurator will:
* Carry forward to funded
* Or be fixed (like no profit target)
#### 13. Review Final Configuration
Before purchase, check:
* Step type
* Rules selected
* Payout conditions
* Price
Every change affects:
* **Difficulty**
* **Risk**
* **Cost**
***
### ✅ Final Understanding
You are customizing:
* **Risk (drawdown, leverage)**
* **Difficulty (profit target, consistency, days)**
* **Payout behavior (frequency, split)**
The configurator lets you **build a challenge that matches your trading style**, instead of adjusting yourself to fixed rules.
