Which is cheaper, size by size
For Traders is cheaper at 3 of the 3 sizes where both publish a price. Comparing the entry tier alone hides that: fee ladders do not scale at the same rate, so the cheaper start can become the dearer account.
| Account size | DNA Funded | For Traders | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $179 | $116 code TRADE15 | For Traders |
| $50k | $319 | $169 code TRADE15 | For Traders |
| $100k | $619 | $245 code TRADE15 | For Traders |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 0.5 more of the cheapest evaluation. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, DNA Funded has to make $199 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $129 at For Traders.
| Measure | DNA Funded | For Traders |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $179 | $116 code TRADE15 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $7.16 | $4.64 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $199 | $129 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,500 (6%) | $1,000 (4%) |
| Drawdown type | Static | Trailing |
Cost per $1,000, the break-even profit and the cost of 1% of drawdown are our arithmetic from each firm's published fee, split and limit; each drawdown figure is the firm's own percentage for the plan that fee buys, applied to a $25,000 balance.
The rule that ends most attempts
DNA Funded measures drawdown from a fixed floor, while For Traders trails it - so a profitable run can leave the second account closer to its line than the balance suggests. At $25k there is $500 more room at DNA Funded ($1,500 against $1,000), which is 2.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
DNA Funded pays Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer, For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto. Timing is not the same either: 14-day cycle, 24-48h processing against Within 48 hours, guaranteed.
Worth checking against your own cash-flow: a fast rail that pays into an account you then have to move is not the same as one that lands where you spend it.
Where they actually differ
- Verification differs: DNA Funded verifies identity before the first payout, For Traders verifies identity before the account activates.
- Payout rails are not the same: DNA Funded pays Crypto (USDT, BTC and other coins) / International bank transfer, For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto.
- the profit target at $25k runs 10% (1 Phase Evaluation) at DNA Funded against 6% (Fast PRO Crypto) at For Traders.
- how far each one scales, DNA Funded: $600,000; For Traders: $300,000 total, $200,000 per account.
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 6% of the account in a session, For Traders is the one that ends the attempt, not DNA Funded. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, For Traders at $41 costs less to be wrong about. If identity documents are the sticking point, note that DNA Funded verifies identity before the first payout and For Traders verifies identity before the account activates.
