Instant funding: paying instead of passing
No challenge: you buy and you trade. It is not “the same thing without the exam”: it is a different product, at a different price, with different rules.
It comes out 47 % more expensive than 1 step for the $100,000 account, comparing census medians. The figure is computed when the page is built. If prices change tomorrow, it changes on its own.

Not every firm publishes everything, and a firm that has not published something is not the same as one we have not verified. Coverage of the columns that are not complete: Price (35%), Activation (11%), Drawdown (87%), Max loss (48%), Target (5%), and Split (74%).
The price and max-loss columns are resolved for the $100,000 account. A model that does not sell that size shows a dash. It is not that it has no price, it is that it has no price for that size. And for 34 of the 443 models in the census the number of steps is not verified, so they are on none of these four pages.
The listed price is not what you pay.
