Evaluation plans and firm coverage
Every service here does the same job at the same price: produce a completed evaluation that meets a firm's profit target without breaching its rules, then hand the funded account back. What changes by firm is not the fee but the rulebook the pass has to respect. This page is the map — pick the one that matches the firm you are actually trading.
Key takeaways
- The fee is flat at $220 per evaluation regardless of account size, and it does not change with the firm.
- Start with the firm-specific page when your firm is FTMO or FundedNext. The rules differ enough that the plan does too.
- Every service begins with a terms check, before any payment. That step decides whether the arrangement is permitted on your account at all.
- A pass is not a funded payout. The funded account keeps the firm's own limits, and it still has to be traded by you.

Which page to start with
The general page explains the arrangement itself — the pricing models in the market, where third-party trading is permitted and where it is not, the delivery sequence, and the checks worth making before any money moves. The two firm pages assume you have already decided to buy and take the firm's rulebook as the starting point. If you are still working out whether a passing service is the right way to spend the money, read the general page first.
| Start here | If this is you | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Prop firm passing service | Still deciding, or trading a firm that is not FTMO or FundedNext | The model itself: what gets delivered, the three ways providers price this work, the terms check, seven verification steps before paying, and the risks stated without padding |
| FTMO passing service | Trading an FTMO Challenge or Verification | Which challenge type to buy, the two-phase pacing plan, the swing-versus-normal decision, and the timeline across both phases |
| FundedNext passing service | Trading a FundedNext evaluation | Choosing the model before the size, the per-model terms check, the plan the rules force, and how a running a second evaluation alongside the first changes the arithmetic |
| Futures passing service | Trading a futures evaluation — Apex, Topstep, MFF or a similar plan | Contract quantisation, dollar drawdowns, trailing thresholds, contract caps, the platform and data cost stack, and the funded handover |
| What the flat fee covers | Wanting the method rather than a firm page | How every evaluation reduces to four rulebook families, what changes between them, what the terms check covers before any payment, and how the handover works phase by phase |
What is identical across every service
Four things do not move between firms, and they are the reason one service can cover more than twenty of them.
The price. A flat fee per evaluation, at any account size. It is not a percentage of the target, not a share of the payout, and not a subscription. A 200k evaluation costs what a 10k evaluation costs, which is the point of pricing the work rather than the outcome.
The order of operations. The terms check comes before the fee, every time. The rule that decides whether a pass is worth anything is not the profit target — it is whether the firm permits someone else to trade the account. A provider that takes payment before reading the terms has accepted your money on a question it has not answered.
The deliverable. A completed evaluation, documented, handed over with the account in a state that meets the firm's conditions. Not a strategy, not signals, and not a promise about what the funded account will earn.
The limits on what we will do. No pass on an account the terms prohibit. No claim about a firm's rules that is not read from that firm's own document. No promise of a funded payout, because the payout belongs to the funded phase and is governed by rules the pass does not satisfy.
What actually changes from firm to firm
The target percentage is the number everyone quotes and the least interesting one. The figures that decide whether a plan survives contact with the rules are these:
- Daily versus maximum drawdown. A daily limit resets and punishes a single bad session. A maximum limit, especially a trailing one, punishes success by raising the floor as the account climbs. The same plan that passes a static 10% fails a trailing 6%.
- Minimum trading days. A target can be reached in three sessions, but an evaluation that requires ten days cannot be finished in three. This is what sets the honest timeline, and it is why a quoted number of days means nothing without the firm named.
- Consistency rules. Some firms cap the share of total profit that any one day may contribute. A plan that reaches the target in a few large sessions clears the target and fails the rule — the account passes and the payout is withheld, which is the worst of both outcomes.
- News and holding restrictions. Prohibitions on trading scheduled releases, or on holding through the weekend, change when a position may be open rather than how large it may be.
- Permitted account handlers. Stated in the terms, and not uniform. This is the first thing checked and the only one that can end the conversation before it starts.
These are compared side by side in the rules matrix, and the mechanics of each are explained in the eight rules that end most challenges. Where a figure is quoted from a firm, it is linked and dated; the method page explains what that date promises.
If your firm is not listed
The two firm pages exist because those firms are asked about most, not because they are the only ones covered. Around twenty firms are handled, and the list grows with demand. If yours is not on this site, the general page still applies — the model, the pricing, the checks and the risks are the same — and the specific terms are read from your firm's document rather than assumed from a similar-looking competitor.
Two honest caveats. First, a firm whose rules have not been checked cannot be confirmed as available, so the answer may be no, and it will be given before payment rather than after. Second, small and new firms revise their terms often and sometimes retroactively; an account passed under one version of a rulebook can be judged under another, which is a risk that sits with the firm's discretion and not with the pass.
If you would rather watch the process before buying it, the free 7-day demo trial runs the same plan on a broker demo account. You keep the login, watch the week, and decide afterwards.
What the fee buys, and what it does not
It buys the work of producing a completed evaluation: the terms check, the trading, the retries if a rule is breached before the target, and the handover. It does not buy a funded outcome. The funded phase has its own target, its own drawdown, and usually a consistency requirement before the first payout — all of it governed by the firm, none of it affected by how the evaluation was passed.
It also does not buy permission. Where a firm's terms prohibit third-party trading, paying for a pass does not make the arrangement permitted, and a funded account can be voided at payout for something the evaluation phase never tested. That risk is real, it is disclosed here rather than buried, and it is the reason the terms check is the first step rather than a formality.
What it does replace is the alternative: paying a challenge fee repeatedly while learning a rulebook at your own expense. Whether that trade is worth it depends on your equity, your time, and how many attempts the evaluation has already taken. The general page works through that comparison directly rather than assuming the answer.
Frequently asked
Do all three services cost the same?
Yes — a flat $220 per evaluation at any account size, whichever firm the evaluation is with. The fee prices the work, not the target, so a larger account does not cost more.
What happens if my firm is not covered?
The terms are read first and the answer is given before any payment. Around twenty firms are handled; if yours is not among them, or if its rules prohibit the arrangement, the service is declined rather than sold.
Can I run two evaluations at once?
Often, but they are priced and delivered separately, and the risk is not halved by running them together — a bad session can breach both accounts under the same rules. The FundedNext page works through the arithmetic of a second evaluation alongside a first.
Is a passed evaluation the same as a funded payout?
No. The pass satisfies the evaluation's target and rules. The funded account then has its own limits, and most firms require a consistency check before the first withdrawal. The pass is the end of one test and the start of another.
