Review
For Traders review: crypto challenge from $41
Treats crypto as a product line rather than an afterthought, with leverage above 1:5 and a 90% split. The 4% trailing drawdown is what pays for it.
Every figure below comes from For Traders's own published terms, linked at the foot of this page. We have not traded this account and this is not a rating out of five.

Fees read from the firm's own configurator, Crypto market, with code TRADE15 applied: each size prints the charged figure beside the list price it is cut from. Only its crypto products are priced here; the Instant Crypto row is the price the configurator's instant tab prints for a 3k crypto account.
Rows above that show a list figure are the amount For Traders charges with code TRADE15, which it displays beside those prices; the list figure is what it charges without the code.
"List" is the firm's own advertised price for that row - a calculator figure, the regular price in its checkout, or the price a code it publishes is applied to - where the fee charged is different; the fee beside it is what its checkout takes.

Every plan, its own rules
For Traders sells three models and the rules are not interchangeable.
| Plan | Profit target | Max drawdown | Daily loss | Split | Entry fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fast Crypto | 10% | 6% trailing the highest account balance | 3% of the initial balance | 80% | $50 at $6,000 code TRADE15 |
| Fast PRO Crypto | 6% | 4% end-of-day trailing drawdown | No daily limit | 90% | $116 at $25,000 code TRADE15 |
| Instant Crypto | No target | 5% trailing the highest balance; it locks at the starting balance once a payout is taken | 3% of the initial balance | 70% rising 5% per reward to 90% | $41 at $3,000 |
Two of the three state a daily loss limit of their own, and the other one states there is none.
Entry fee is the cheapest size each plan is sold at, the same rows the ladder above prices. Where a code cuts a fee, the code is named beside it. Every figure is the firm's own wording, read from the plan pages linked under Sources.
The rules that decide whether you pass
For Traders sells 1-step / 2-step / instant / pay later challenges; on its $25k account, hit 6% (Fast PRO Crypto) before breaching 4% trailing end-of-day (Fast PRO Crypto), no daily loss rule. Leverage is Crypto up to 1:20 on Fast PRO, 1:5 BTC elsewhere and the account is traded on MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker, For Traders X for futures. 70+ crypto pairs, 24/7 including weekends, plus FX, metals, indices and futures are available, so the instrument set is broad enough that position sizing matters more than the rules do.
One check for the life of the account. Instant and Pay After Pass defer it to the first reward request.
“Yes - once, when you pass your first evaluation (or before your first reward on Instant and Pay After Pass).”
Source: the firm's own page, read 2026-11-08. Our classification: Before activation.
| Product | When | The firm's rule |
|---|---|---|
| Fast Crypto | Before activation | One verification when the evaluation is passed. |
| Fast PRO Crypto | Before activation | One verification when the evaluation is passed. |
| Instant Crypto | Before payout | Verification comes before the first reward request, not at signup. |
| Product | Type | Rule in the firm's terms |
|---|---|---|
| Fast Crypto | Trailing | 6% trailing on Fast from 6k to 100k. |
| Fast PRO Crypto | Static | Static, balance-based. |
| Instant Crypto | Static | Static, balance-based. |
Two practical warnings for this structure. A 4% trailing end-of-day (Fast PRO Crypto), no daily loss rule is tighter than it looks: a 3% overnight move on a large position is normal in crypto and can end the account in one candle. And the profit split of 90% on Fast PRO applies to profit you withdraw, not to the account balance, so plan the first payout before you start rather than after you pass.
Payouts and verification
How it pays
Rails: Bank transfer / Crypto
Timing: Within 48 hours, guaranteed
If the 48-hour guarantee is missed, the trader keeps 100% of the reward instead of the split. Minimum withdrawal $100.
Before you request
Verification: Before activation - One check for the life of the account. Instant and Pay After Pass defer it to the first reward request.
Restricted: Pakistan, Iran, Syria, Myanmar, Bangladesh, North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Lebanon
Support: what this firm publishes about its own support - channels, stated hours, any response-time claim in its own words.
Confirm which coin and which network the payout arrives on, and the minimum payout, on the firm's dashboard before you trade to the target; this firm publishes the rail only as crypto, so those two settings, not the split, are what turn a payout into a delay.
Strengths and trade-offs
What it does well
- A genuine crypto desk: 70+ pairs around the clock and up to 1:20 leverage
- 90% split on Crypto Fast PRO, the firm's highest
- 48-hour payout guarantee with a stated penalty if missed
What costs you
- Fast PRO uses a tight 4% end-of-day trailing drawdown
- Non-PRO crypto plans drop to 1:5 on BTC and 1:2 elsewhere
- A 35% best-day consistency cap applies
Who it suits, and who it does not
Suits: Crypto traders who need weekend access and leverage above 1:5.
Does not suit: Traders who need more than 4% of room, or live in a barred country.
How it compares with the rest of the list
At the $25k size For Traders sits at $116 for its Fast PRO Crypto account with a split of 90% on Fast PRO and a 4% trailing end-of-day (Fast PRO Crypto), no daily loss rule. The firms that undercut it charge less for the challenge but usually ask for a tighter drawdown or a one-step target, and the firms that publish wider room to trade ask more up front. If the deciding factor for you is the split rather than the fee, read the side-by-side comparison before choosing.
