If you’re considering taking a funded challenge, there’s one thing every experienced trader will tell you:
Never pay the full price.
The prop trading space is competitive — not just for traders, but for firms as well. And that competition translates into frequent, aggressive discounting.
Prop Firms Run on Promotions — And That’s Not a Bad Thing
Most prop trading firms generate revenue through evaluation challenges. To stand out in a crowded market, they routinely run:
- Seasonal sales
- Weekend flash promos
- Exclusive affiliate codes
- Newsletter-only offers
- Social media discounts
In other words, there’s almost always a deal available — if you know where to look.
Why Full Price Doesn’t Make Sense
Paying the base rate for a challenge is rarely necessary. In fact, it can indicate that a trader is new to the space or simply unaware of how the industry works.
And while the difference between $99 and $139 might not seem critical, over multiple attempts (or across multiple firms), it adds up quickly.
More importantly, discounts can make it easier to test new firms or retry challenges without overcommitting financially.
