Once a trade is entered into your challenge account, your Nations Trading challenge officially begins. From that point on, you have 30 days to finish the challenge phase (1st phase). An email letting you know that you have reached the second and final stage will be sent once a trader has finished the challenge phase (verification). Without the need of any trading activity, the verification stage will begin automatically counting down the days of expiration. Additionally, traders will have an additional 30 days to complete the last and final phase ( verification). After getting a funded account, traders have 30 days to engage in trading activity or the funded account will be disabled.
