Which Account Size Is Right for You?
$10K-$25K — Best for Beginners
Start small to learn the evaluation process with minimal financial risk. The challenge fee is low, and the profit targets are achievable.
$50K-$100K — Best for Intermediate Traders
The sweet spot for most funded traders. Enough capital to generate meaningful income while keeping challenge fees reasonable.
$200K+ — Best for Experienced Traders
For traders with a proven track record who want to maximize income potential immediately.
The Multi-Account Strategy
Many successful funded traders run multiple smaller accounts rather than one large account. For example, 4x $50K accounts instead of 1x $200K account. This diversifies risk and allows you to scale more aggressively.
