THE DIFFERENCES THAT MATTER

Same market.
Different rules.

Look beyond the account size. Compare what you pay, how much room you have to trade, and what it takes to get paid.

How placements and affiliate links work

Commercial ordering: approved affiliate partners are placed first by our confirmed commission percentage. Until approved, firms are ordered by their published starting affiliate rate, with unknown rates last. Placement is not a quality score or a recommendation. We may earn a commission when you purchase through an approved affiliate link. Unapproved firms link directly to their official websites.

Fees, promotions and rules change. Verify the current plan terms before paying. Evaluation and simulated funded accounts do not guarantee access to live capital or a payout.

LESS JARGON. MORE CLARITY.

Know what you're comparing.

Drawdown

Your permitted loss before the account fails. A trailing limit can move up as profits grow. End-of-day describes when it moves, not when it is enforced.

Consistency

A cap on how much of total profit can come from your best day. A large winning day may mean you need more profit before passing or withdrawing.

Payout buffer

Profit that must remain in the account before an ordinary withdrawal. A fast payout schedule can still come with a buffer and withdrawal caps.

Before you choose.

Why do you compare specific plans?

Different plans from the same firm can have different fees, drawdown models and payout conditions. Each card names the plan so you can verify the right rules.

Does a higher position mean a better firm?

No. Default placement is commercial and uses affiliate commission rates. Use the filters and side-by-side comparison to evaluate the actual terms.

Are the prices a total cost?

No. Prices are base entry fees before promotions. Add recurring months, activation, resets, data or platform charges where applicable. Check the firm’s checkout and rules.

Is this financial advice?

This is general information about program terms. Futures trading carries risk, and paying for an evaluation does not guarantee passing, funding or payment.

Compare the named plans. Commercial order is not a quality ranking.
