| Programme | FTMO FTMO Challenge 1-Step | FTMO FTMO Challenge 2-Step | FundedNext Stellar 1-Step | FundedNext Stellar 2-Step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market | Forex & CFDs | Forex & CFDs | Forex & CFDs | Forex & CFDs |
| Account size | $100,000 | $100,000 | $100,000 | $100,000 |
| Evaluation fee | EUR 499 | EUR 540 | $569.99 | $549.99 |
Profit target — explain simplyProfit target The profit an evaluation account must reach, without breaking any rule, to pass that phase.Example: $50,000 account with a 6% target: you must make $3,000.Watch out: Reaching the target does not override other rules such as minimum trading days.More plain-language terms | 10% | 10% Challenge phase, 5% Verification phase | 10% | 8% Phase 1, 5% Phase 2 |
Daily loss limit — explain simplyDaily loss limit The most an account may lose within one trading day. Breaching it usually fails the account or ends trading for the day.Example: $100,000 starting balance, 5% daily limit: a $5,000 loss in one day (often including open losses) breaches it.Watch out: Firms differ on whether it is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, and when the day resets.More plain-language terms | 3% of initial capital, reset daily at 00:00 CE(S)T | 5% of initial simulated capital, reset daily at 00:00 CE(S)T | $3,000 (3%), from previous day's closing balance | $5,000 (5%), from previous day's closing balance |
Max drawdown — explain simplyDrawdown How far an account has fallen from a previous high point. A 'maximum drawdown' rule sets how far the balance may fall before the account fails.Example: An account peaks at $10,500 and falls to $9,800: the drawdown from that peak is $700 (about 6.7%).Watch out: Prop firms measure drawdown differently (static, trailing, end-of-day). Read the exact rule.More plain-language terms | 10%, end-of-day trailing; limit can only rise End-of-day trailing | 10% of initial capital (static; $90,000 floor on $100K) Static | $6,000 (6%) from starting balance Static | $10,000 (10%) from starting balance Static |
Minimum days — explain simplyMinimum trading days The fewest separate days you must trade before passing or requesting a payout, even if the target is reached sooner.More plain-language terms | Not published | 4 trading days | 2 | 5 |
Profit split — explain simplyProfit split The share of eligible profits a funded trader receives under the firm's payout rules.Example: An 80% split on $2,000 of eligible profit is $1,600 to the trader, before any payout conditions.Watch out: Payout timing, minimums and eligibility rules matter as much as the percentage.More plain-language terms | 90% of simulated profits | Up to 90% of simulated profits | Up to 95% | 80% standard; 90% on-demand payout option; up to 95% with add-ons |
| Payouts | Fee is not refunded | Fee refunded with first reward withdrawal | Not published | Standard: first reward after 21 days, then every 14 days; fee refunded with 1st reward |

Reset / retry — explain simplyReset Restarting a prop evaluation from the original balance and rules, usually for a fee, after failing or to start over.Watch out: Repeated resets add up — count them in the true cost of a programme.More plain-language terms | Not published | Not published | Reset available at a discounted price | Reset available at a discounted price |

About this data. Every rule and price is taken from the firm's own website on the date shown, with a link to the page. Firms change their rules often — confirm on the official page before you pay. “Not published” means we could not find the value on an official page; we never estimate it. Order is by your filters or alphabetical, never by commission. Prop-firm evaluations are paid products; most traders do not pass, and a funded account is not a guarantee of income.
