How it works
- 1. Pick a size
Prices and rules change per account size, so we compare one size at a time. 50K is the default for futures.
- 2. See the cheapest first
Most traders fail a few evaluations, so the cost to start matters. Activation fees are shown next to it.
- 3. Filter on your rules
No daily loss limit, news trading, EAs, overnight holding, how many accounts you may hold and more.
