Which is cheaper, size by size
Funded Trader Markets is cheaper at 2 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 | For Traders | Funded Trader Markets | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $116 code TRADE15 | $59 | Funded Trader Markets |
| $50k | $169 code TRADE15 | $120 | Funded Trader Markets |
| $100k | $245 code TRADE15 | $249 | For Traders |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
The $57 gap is 1.0 cheap attempts at the For Traders fee. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, For Traders has to make $129 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $66 at Funded Trader Markets.
| Measure | For Traders | Funded Trader Markets |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $116 code TRADE15 | $59 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $4.64 | $2.36 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $129 | $66 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,000 (4%) | $1,500 (6%) |
| Drawdown type | trailing | 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
At $25k there is $500 more room at Funded Trader Markets ($1,500 against $1,000), which is 2.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto, Funded Trader Markets pays USDC / USDT / BTC / ETH / SOL / Rise. Timing is not the same either: Within 48 hours, guaranteed against 24-hour guarantee, average around 20 minutes.
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
- Payout rails are not the same: For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto, Funded Trader Markets pays USDC / USDT / BTC / ETH / SOL / Rise.
- For Traders wants 6% (Fast PRO Crypto) of profit at $25k before a payout, Funded Trader Markets 10% (1 Step Nitro).
- divide each fee by the limit that fee is tested against and For Traders costs $29.00 per point of drawdown, Funded Trader Markets $9.83: $116 with code TRADE15 over a 4% limit (Fast PRO Crypto) against $59 over a 6% limit (1 Step Nitro).
The decision rule
At $25k, if you routinely risk more than 4% of the account in a session, For Traders is the one that ends the attempt, not Funded Trader Markets. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Funded Trader Markets at $20 costs less to be wrong about.
