Three routes to a funded account. Instant costs the most and skips the evaluation. The 2-step costs the least and asks you to demonstrate consistency twice.
Skip the evaluation entirely. Trade a funded account from day one with a tighter drawdown while you build a track record.
One evaluation phase at an 8% profit target. The middle route, and the one most students take after finishing the curriculum.
Two phases at 8% and 5%. The cheapest entry, and the route that produces our most consistent funded traders.
Evaluation fees are refunded in full with your first payout. One account per trader.
Not ready for an evaluation? Learn first. Membership credits toward any evaluation fee you pay later.
Two months free on annual billing.
All six curriculum tracks, graded submissions, and the resource vault.
Everything in Self-paced plus a weekly journal review with a funded mentor.
Small-group coaching capped at eight traders, with a dedicated desk lead.
