Real talk
What traders actually experience beyond the marketing copy.
Good for automation/bot traders (allowed on all accounts). 91% off promos make it dirt cheap. Two option types give flexibility. But: copy trading prohibited, high activation fees, no resets, monthly pricing is expensive without promos.
Option 1 and 2 have SAME dollar drawdown but completely different mechanics. Opt1 intraday trailing = floor moves up with unrealized P&L tick by tick. Opt2 EOD trailing = only updates at session close. Know which you're buying.
100% on first $10K is competitive. First 3 payouts are capped ($1K-$2.5K). After 3rd payout: unlimited. $78 mid-cycle reset available. Free reset on billing renewal date. Activation fees are high ($98-$898).
Copy trading PROHIBITED. No resets. High activation fees ($98-$898). Opt1 intraday trailing is unforgiving. Monthly pricing is expensive without promos. Max 11 active funded accounts.
Most plan variety. Static drawdown is unique and valuable. Fast Track at $75 is cheapest entry anywhere. But: $87/mo funded fee, 10-second hold time, $25K total sim cap, and the complexity of 6 plan types can be confusing.
6 plan types give real flexibility. Static drawdown (floor never moves) is genuinely unique. 1-Step intraday trailing is harsh. EOD is more forgiving but adds DLL. Safety Net locks drawdown once you profit enough.
100% on first $12.5K is generous. But $87/mo funded fee eats into profits. $25K total sim cap means you transition to live ($2K-$5K starting capital) relatively quickly. 10-second hold rule is enforced.
$87/mo funded fee (one of few firms charging monthly). 10-second minimum hold on ALL trades. $25K total sim payout cap. Fast Track has NO resets and 14-day time limit. After 20% profit growth, losing 35% triggers disqualification.
