10 of the 80 forex prop firms we could read meet this test on 11 November 2026: the firm's own words name a one-step, one-phase or one-stage challenge, according to TradingLookup's Forex Prop Firm Ledger (November 2026).
What it means
One-step challenge
A one-step (one-phase) challenge has one profit target to hit, where a two-step adds a second, verification phase.

The test
The firm's own words name a one-step, one-phase or one-stage challenge.
One qualifying plan is enough. A to Z, never ranked.
Good to know
These forex firms name a one-step challenge in their own words. Single phases often come with tighter loss limits or a higher price, so compare the plan, not just the step count.
