Target ÷ loss is the total profit target divided by the max loss limit. Lower means less profit is needed for each unit of risk. Prices are list prices; "Apply discount" takes off the firm's current public code, which may not cover every program. Per $100K converts EUR and GBP at a fixed rate for ranking only. Buy links go to the firm's site; some are affiliate links (PropFirmly may earn a commission). Bookmarks stay in this browser: see all saved challenges.

One account per firm, broken down into dollar amounts, break-even return and the rules that most often cause a fail.

Frequently asked questions

What does "target ÷ loss" mean?

It is the total profit target across all phases divided by the max loss limit. A 10% target with a 10% max loss gives 1.00. A lower number means you need less profit for each unit of risk the firm allows, which usually makes a challenge easier to pass.

Why compare cost per $100K?

Firms price account sizes differently, so the cheapest $10K account is not always the cheapest way to get funded capital. Cost per $100K divides the price by the account size so you can compare across sizes. EUR and GBP prices are converted at a fixed rate for this column only.

Are these prices the final price I pay?

No. They are list prices before discount codes, taxes or add-ons such as a higher profit split or a refundable fee. Firms run discounts often, which are shown on each firm offer page.

What is the difference between 1-step, 2-step and instant funding?

A 1-step challenge has one profit target to reach. A 2-step challenge has two phases, usually with a lower target in the second. Instant funding skips the evaluation and gives you a funded account straight away, usually at a higher price and with tighter loss limits.

Still have a question?

Ask about a firm, a rule or a number that looks wrong. A link to the firm's own page helps us re-check it quickly.
