💸 How the Nostro Free $10,000 Challenge Works
Welcome to the Nostro Free $10,000 Challenge — your opportunity to prove your trading ability, build discipline, and earn real rewards on the Nostro platform without risking your own capital.
This challenge is designed to simulate real trading conditions in a structured, fast-paced format. It is competitive, demanding, and built to reward consistency and smart risk management.
Below is everything you need to know.
🔑 The Big Picture
- 💰 $10,000 starting balance
- 🧩 3 evaluation phases
- ⏳ 30 days total from activation to payout eligibility
- ⚖ 1:20 leverage
- 🎯 1 free account per user
Your mission is simple:
Pass all 3 evaluation phases, reach funded status, hit the funded profit target — and earn your reward.
⏱ The 30-Day Timer (Very Important)
The moment your free challenge account is activated, a 30-day countdown timer begins.
This timer runs across:
- Phase 1
- Phase 2
- Phase 3
- The Funded Stage
If the 30-day timer expires at any point before completing the challenge, the account will close.
This structure keeps the challenge focused, realistic, and performance-driven — just like real trading environments.

This is your opportunity to take your rewards and move into a paid challenge with enhanced flexibility.
🧠 The Consistency Score
Unlike many firms, Nostro does not restrict your strategy style.
Instead, we use a Consistency Score to ensure trading performance is controlled and sustainable.
During Evaluation:
Your Consistency Score determines whether you progress to the next phase.
During the Funded Stage:
Your Consistency Score controls how much of your profit you receive.
Higher consistency = higher payout percentage.
The score rewards smooth, disciplined performance rather than one large, lucky trade.
💼 Nostro Wallet – How Rewards Work

✔ Wallet funds can be used anywhere on the Nostro platform
✔ Use them to purchase paid challenges or other products
❌ Wallet funds cannot be withdrawn externally
