Prime 1 Step and Prime 2 Step only: the fee is refunded in full once the account has been funded for 30 days and is in profit. Edge and Instant have no refund.

Historically, standard challenges were non-refundable. A newer rule states that evaluation fees purchased after January 9, 2026 are refundable on the 4th payout, while older purchases remain non-refundable.

No fixed fee published. Any processing or network fee is shown before you confirm; bank and network charges are paid by the trader.

2% payout fee or a $10 minimum transaction fee per payout.

First payout on demand once funded (on Instant, after the first trade). Then every 7 days; every 14 on Instant Go.
