Ad Paid links & important information about these products
Ad / advertising disclosure: links marked 'Ad' are paid affiliate links - we earn a commission if you buy an evaluation through them; this can affect which firms are listed, not the terms you receive. What this page is: a factual comparison of published fees and rules, collected from at least two public sources on the date shown and cross-checked; per-field rankings are arithmetic over the tracked set (see Methodology). It is not a recommendation or opinion about whether you should buy any evaluation, and it is not financial advice. What these products are: prop-firm 'challenges' are paid evaluations on simulated accounts; any later 'funded' stage is a contractual profit share from the firm, not an investment return; most participants do not pass; fees are generally non-refundable. The firms listed are not authorised or supervised by the FMA (NZ), ASIC (AU), FCA (UK), CFTC/SEC (US) or any EU regulator, and you have no investor-compensation protection. Operated from New Zealand.
FTMO Challenge 2-Step $25K: challenge fee changed and 3 other terms
| Term | Was | Now | Move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Challenge fee | 250 | — | |
| Profit split (funded) | 90% | — | |
| Max leverage | 100 | — | |
| Payout cycle | By Weekly | — |
On 22 September 2026, a capture of the FTMO Challenge 2-Step $25K terms was compared with the previous capture dated 1 September 2026. Four terms were flagged as changed: the challenge fee, previously recorded at 250; the funded profit split, previously recorded at 90%; the maximum leverage, previously recorded at 100; and the payout cycle, previously recorded as "By Weekly". The 22 September 2026 record does not carry a replacement value for any of these four terms, so the current settings are not stated here.
For context on mechanism: the challenge fee is the amount paid to open the evaluation, the profit split sets the proportion of funded-account profit allocated to the trader, maximum leverage caps position size relative to account equity, and the payout cycle determines how often withdrawal requests can be submitted. Anyone relying on these figures should confirm the present values against the provider's published terms.
