What replaced the Blueberry Funded 1-Step Challenge?

The Flex 1-Step, from 17 August 2026. It costs more at every size both are sold at, asks 12% of profit against 10%, drops the minimum trading days, tightens the daily limit from 4% to 3%, and widens the overall cap from 6% to 12%.

Which is more likely to pass?

The older one, on this model: 84% failure against the Flex's 98% at 1% risk per trade. The difference is one absorbed loss — 4 against 3 — and it comes from the daily limit, not the headline drawdown. Assumes each trade is independent. Correlated positions — three majors against the dollar — lose together and count as one.

What else changed with the Flex?

Three things a rules table does not usually carry. Risk per trade idea is capped at 1% and enforced in both the evaluation and the funded account on a two-strike mechanism. Weekend holding is banned on the Flex and permitted on every other Blueberry product. And a profit concentration check runs once, at the moment you pass: a single trade idea worth more than 60% of the target attaches a payout condition to the funded account.

The replacement costs more and its best number cannot be reached

The Flex 1-Step is dearer than the 1-Step it replaced at every size both are sold at — 2.4× at $5K, still 1.3× at $200K. What the extra money advertises is a 12% drawdown, the largest of its kind here outside two Fidelcrest plans.

In front of it stands a 3% daily limit. That makes the advertised cap 4.0× the one that actually ends accounts. Across the 79 evaluations here that publish both, the median is 2.0× and only 2 reach 4.0×. At 1% risk the Flex ends after 3 consecutive losses; the product it replaced survived 4.

12% you would need 4 full losing days to reach

A daily limit of 3% is the most an account can lose and survive the session. To arrive at the 12% overall cap you would have to lose that full allowance on 4 separate days without the first one ending the account — which it does.

The gap is not normal. Across the 79 evaluations here that publish both caps, the median overall limit is 2.0× the daily one; the Flex’s is 4.0×, matched by only 2 programmes in total. The number doing the deciding is the smaller one, and the smaller one got tighter in the replacement: 4% became 3%.

Which is the whole reversal. The Flex looks twice as forgiving on the row buyers read, and absorbs one loss fewer than the product it replaced.

And the old one is still for sale

STATUS CONTRADICTION, and the most consequential thing published about this product. The help centre says it is retired — "The 1-Step Challenge is being replaced by the Flex 1-Step" — and its rules article is titled "[Legacy] 1-Step Challenge" and scoped to accounts bought before 17 August 2026. The store still sells it: the pricing page renders a live card with its own ladder, and the checkout presents "1 Step" as the default-active account type. It is recorded here because it is purchasable today, and a buyer lands on rules the firm itself calls legacy.

PRICE CONTRADICTION on two rows: the pricing page publishes $82.50 for the $10K and $302.50 for the $50K, and the checkout charges different figures.

A buyer arriving at the checkout is therefore offered, by default, a product whose own rules article the firm has titled with the word legacy — and which this page finds the better of the two on every modelled figure. Both of those are worth knowing, and neither is on the card you click.

What this does not measure

· Losses spread across days. The overall cap is exactly the rule that binds over a bad fortnight rather than a bad afternoon, and there the Flex’s 12% is real room. The model counts a run of consecutive trades, which is a single-session shape, so it sees the daily limit and little else.
· The Flex’s risk cap. A 1% ceiling per trade idea is enforced in the evaluation on a two-strike mechanism. Modelling at 1% risk sits exactly on it, so the figures assume a trader who never exceeds it — an assumption the older product did not require.
· Which product you will actually get. The status of the older one is the firm’s own contradiction, not a reading of it, and it could be resolved at any time by the store catching up with the help centre.
· Everything in the assumptions. Assumes each trade is independent. Correlated positions — three majors against the dollar — lose together and count as one. Assumes every trade risks the same amount. Raising size after a loss shortens the streak you can survive. Uses your stated win rate. If that came from a demo account or a good month, the figure below is optimistic.

Questions

What replaced the Blueberry Funded 1-Step Challenge?: The Flex 1-Step, from 17 August 2026. It costs more at every size both are sold at, asks 12% of profit against 10%, drops the minimum trading days, tightens the daily limit from 4% to 3%, and widens the overall cap from 6% to 12%.
Is the Flex 1-Step's 12% drawdown as generous as it looks?: It is the largest figure of its kind here outside two Fidelcrest plans, and it sits behind a 3% daily limit. That makes the overall cap 4.0× the daily one. The median across the 79 evaluations here that publish both is 2.0×, and only 2 reach 4.0×. Reaching 12% would take 4 consecutive days of losing the full daily allowance, and the daily limit ends the account on the first of them.
