What is the point of offering two different challenges, as a rookie trader I still can’t get their main idea?

The main idea is to provide beginners with less harsh trading rules, to make them able to survive, while mastering their skills in the long run. At the same time, don’t neglect experienced traders that want to save their time and get funded as soon as possible, not proving what they can prove in a shorter 1 step challenge.

That’s why speedy challenges are more expensive and have lower max allowed drawdowns. While classic two step assessment allows to commit max 24% overall loss combined and reach only 15% profit target as a whole.

You need to try to understand this. Rookie traders need some time, face fomo, that’s why 2 step challenges work best for them, aka classic, where they can spend whatever time they want to pass the challenges. Months, years, the time is unlimited. While experienced traders want to get funded as fast as they can, making 10% of profit target even with lower max loss.
To resume, classic for beginners, speedy for experienced and confident traders, just look at price, speedy are always more expensive.
