How long do you think it will take to finish a classic challenge or is it better to choose a speedy test?

Everything is up to your skill. For example, when I started, having a built strategy, 1% risk management, and one year trading experience, it took me 3 months to get the funded account. Why so long? Ups and downs, win streaks and lose streaks. I didn’t focus on high RR, maybe that’s why it was longer than expected.
You can complete the challenge in a week, just making those 10% and 5% profit targets, taking high 4-7 RR positions, while not breaching minimum trading days requirement, at least 3 for each step.
It's hard to complain about trading conditions here… Very doable, especially maximum drawdowns, 12% on the first stage, it’s ridiculously big to make you stay in the game for months. At speed it’s more harsh, 6% with the same 10% profits target, but achievable even with 50% win rate. Simple math bro…
