Read before you buy
The fine print, in plain English
Taken from their own pages. These are the rules most likely to cost you money.
Evaluation billing keeps running after you pass
For accounts qualified on or after Oct 1, 2024, the monthly evaluation subscription continues after you pass until you activate the Elite Sim-Funded account. Fast Track's funded account costs $87/month after a free first month.
US territories excluded
Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are listed as unsupported.
No VPN, VPS or proxy
The ToS prohibit VPNs, TOR, VPS or proxies that hinder ETF's ability to see your IP, and say false onboarding information leads to a ban with owed payouts revoked.
Weekly trading requirement and no overnight holds (1-Step)
You must trade at least once a week or the account closes and rewards are voided, and on 1-Step all trades must be flat one minute before market close.
