What getting funded really costs

Most traders don't pass on the first try. Set how long it takes you and see the full bill.

Commissions at this firm, per contract, open + close: mini $5.76, micro $1.90. A round trip is one contract bought and sold (3 contracts in and out = 3 round trips).

Subscription: 1st month (discount code)$59.00
Subscription: 1 more month × $131.00 (list price)$131.00
Total to get funded$190.00

Passing first time, in one month, would cost $59.00. The discount code is counted on the first month only, as most firms apply it. Failed attempts restart at the monthly renewal instead of a paid reset.
