Beyond loss limits, firms restrict how you trade: around news, with automation, across accounts and overnight. Breaking them can cost you profit or the account. Read the full explainer: News, algos, copy trading and holding rules.
Each plan is scored out of 100 the same way whichever firm sells it: 45% cost until funded (the plan's own rules simulated 3,000 times for a trader with no edge), 35% the firm's record and 20% payout terms. Commission never enters the score. The method is published on the methodology page.
