### Challenge Failure

Common failure reasons include:

* **Hit Drawdown Limit**: Account equity dropped below the threshold and triggered automatic liquidation.
* **Missed Profit Target**: Final account equity did not reach the target amount.
* **Insufficient Valid Trades**: Did not complete the minimum required number of valid trades (trades held ≥60 seconds).
* **Single Trade Profit Exceeded**: One trade's profit exceeded 75% of the total profit target.
* **Positions Remain Open**: Did not close all positions before challenge expiry.
