This channel is run by OnePass. The host is animated, and we use AI to make our videos. Accounts are simulated. This is how a OnePass evaluation works, start to finish. We'll use the First Pass account as the example. Every number you see comes from our published rules.
First Pass costs forty nine dollars, paid once. The profit target is one hundred fifty dollars. The max loss is fifty dollars. If you reach the target, the payout on the Standard plan is one hundred thirty five dollars, which is ninety percent of the target.
Here's how a run can look, as an illustration with example numbers. You trade a simulated account on live market prices. Your goal is to reach the profit target before the account falls to the max loss line. The max loss is static. It's measured from your starting balance, and it never moves.
There is no consistency rule, so one big trade can pass the account. There is no daily loss limit, and commission is zero on Standard accounts. Each account has a one hundred eighty day window that starts with your first order. Position size is your choice, up to the account's maximum.
When you pass, the payout is owed. You request it, complete a one time ID check and tax form, and we review it and send it. We don't make promises about how long each step takes.
Okay, now the honest part. A trader with no edge reaches the target before the max loss about twenty five percent of the time on First Pass. Most attempts don't pass. The forty nine dollar price is the most you can lose, and skill is what changes the odds.

This channel is run by OnePass. The host is animated, and we use AI to make our videos. Accounts are simulated. What is a max loss, and why does it matter whether it trails? In this video we compare a static max loss with a trailing one, using the same example trades.
The max loss is the line that ends the account if your balance falls to it. A static max loss is fixed. It's measured from your starting balance, and it never moves. A trailing max loss follows your best balance upward, so your room can shrink as you win.
Both accounts start at five thousand dollars, with a fifty dollar max loss and a one hundred fifty dollar target. The trades go well. The account rises to ninety dollars in profit. On the static account the floor stays fifty dollars below the start. On the trailing account the floor climbs with the profit, to forty dollars above the start.
Now the market pulls back to thirty eight dollars in profit. Still a profitable account.
The static account is fine, and it goes on to reach the target. The trailing account touched its floor and ended. Same trades, different rule. That is why the type of max loss matters as much as its size.
Before you buy any evaluation, check whether the max loss is static, trailing, or end of day. Check that the fee makes sense next to the max loss, and add up any activation or reset fees. And read the rules once, start to finish.
OnePass uses a static max loss. It never trails, not during the day and not at the end of the day. You can read every rule at one pass trader funding dot com slash rules. These are simulated accounts, and nothing here is investment advice.
Your real odds of passing an evaluation, tested on real data
The rule of thumb for a no-edge trader's chance of passing, then the same math tested on real five-minute Bitcoin candles. (2 min)

This channel is run by OnePass. The host is animated, and we use AI to make our videos. Accounts are simulated. What are your real odds of passing a trading evaluation? In this video we look at the math, and then we test it on real market data.
Here's a simple rule of thumb. For a trader with no edge, the chance of reaching the target before the max loss is about the max loss divided by the target plus the max loss. On First Pass that is fifty divided by two hundred, which is twenty five percent. A bigger target next to the max loss lowers the odds. A smaller one raises them.
Most OnePass accounts are built with a target three times the max loss, so the rule of thumb gives about twenty five percent. Wide Stop has a wider max loss, so the same math gives about thirty three percent.
So, we tested the math on real data. We used real five minute Bitcoin candles from the last seventeen days. The rule was simple and fixed in advance: go long when the price is above its four hour average, otherwise short. Each attempt used a First Pass account, and a new attempt started every two hours. We counted one dollar of slippage.
Here's one attempt that worked. The price moved our way, pulled back a little, and then reached the target before the max loss.
And here is one that did not. The price moved against the position and reached the max loss first. The account ended.
Across all the attempts, about twenty two percent passed. The rest hit the max loss first. That's close to the rule of thumb, and slightly lower, because of the slippage.
So, what can change your odds? A real edge is the biggest thing. After that, sizing every trade from the max loss, keeping a daily stop, and practicing on the same numbers first.
You can practice the same numbers free on our platform. No sign up is needed. This was a hypothetical backtest, not a real account, and it doesn't predict future results. These are simulated accounts, and nothing here is investment advice.

We replayed the rule on real Bitcoin prices: about 22% passed. A 21-second replay of one simple rule on real five-minute Bitcoin candles, holding every trade to the target or the max loss. Real traders can exit early and size their own risk; this is a baseline, not a prediction.
Would it pass? A game on real Bitcoin candles (and why real traders can do better)
A game on real Bitcoin candles: guess whether each run reaches the target or the max loss first, and why real traders can do better than one simple rule. (4 min)

This channel is run by OnePass. The host is animated, and we use AI to make our videos. Accounts are simulated. Hey, it's the OnePass host. Today we're playing a game on real Bitcoin candles. But first, one important thing. In this game, a very simple rule takes one trade and holds it all the way to the target or the max loss. That's not how real traders trade, and it's not how you have to. You can exit whenever you want.
On a OnePass account you're in control. You can exit early at any time, and use stop loss and take profit orders. You can take many smaller trades instead of one, skip setups you don't like, and choose your own size, up to the account's maximum.
And trading here is clean. There's no commission on Standard accounts, orders fill at the live bid or ask, and we don't add anything to the spread. The max loss is static, so you always know exactly where the line is.
Okay, the game. Round one. Price has been drifting down, and our simple rule is lined up. Long or short? Five seconds. Here we go. Watch the price, and watch the progress bar. The rule went short, and look, the trade ran about a hundred dollars into profit. But this rule never exits early, so it rode the whole thing back to the max loss. A trader who takes profit, or just trails a stop, has a very different day.
Round two. Different day, same rules. Long or short? Five seconds. Here it plays out. The rule went long. The price dipped about fourteen dollars, then ran to the target. That one passed.
Round three. Long or short? Go. Let's see. Long again, and it got close to a hundred dollars up, then turned around into the max loss. Again, a rule that never exits early gives all of it back.
Round four, the last one. Long or short? Five seconds. Here it comes. Short this time. The trade was up more than a hundred dollars at one point, and then bounced into the max loss. That's what holding every trade to the end looks like.
Now let's see what a trader with a process can do. This is an illustration, with example numbers. Instead of one trade held to the end, the trader takes thirteen smaller trades, exits early, and cuts the losers quickly. Eight winners, five losers, and the account never gets anywhere near the max loss. It reaches the target without one big bet.
So what does twenty two percent mean? It's the result for one simple rule that holds every trade to the end, with no exits and no skill. It's a baseline, not a ceiling. A trader with a real edge, sensible exits and small size can beat it. But nothing is guaranteed, and many attempts still don't pass.
Here's what the game teaches. Exits matter as much as entries. One trade is close to a coin flip, but a process isn't. Size small, so one miss doesn't end the run, and practice the same numbers free before you pay anyone for anything.
You can try all of this free on our practice platform. No sign up needed. That's one pass trader funding dot com, slash platform. See you in the next one.
Prop firm myths, busted (with the real numbers)
Six common beliefs about trading evaluations, checked against real rules and numbers. (2 min)

This channel is run by OnePass. The host is animated, and we use AI to make our videos. Accounts are simulated. Okay, myth busting time. There's a lot of confusing advice about trading evaluations, so let's clear some of it up. Six myths, six facts, and the real numbers.
Myth number one. The cheapest evaluation is the cheapest way to get funded. Not always. Add up every fee: activation, resets, monthly charges. Compare totals, not sticker prices.
Myth number two. Trailing and static max loss are basically the same. They're really not. A trailing floor rises with your profit, so it can end an account that a static floor would have survived.
Myth number three. If a firm says fast payouts, you'll be paid fast. A claim isn't a number. Ask to see real data. We don't promise a time, we just show you every step.
Myth number four. You need to win most of your trades. Not exactly. What matters is your edge and your size. With a three to one target, a trader with no edge passes about twenty five percent of the time.
Myth number five. Bigger size means better odds. It just brings the max loss closer. Size from the max loss, not from excitement.
Last one. Myth number six. Practice doesn't matter, it's not real money. Practice can't predict your results, but it shows you whether your sizing and your plan hold up, and it costs nothing.
So what do we do differently? One price, paid once. A static max loss that never moves. No activation fee, no monthly fee, and a free practice platform, so you can test everything before you pay.
