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 | For Traders | FX2 Funding | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $116 code TRADE15 | $235 | For Traders |
| $50k | $169 code TRADE15 | $465 | For Traders |
| $100k | $245 code TRADE15 | $925 | For Traders |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 1.0 more of the cheapest evaluation. 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 $247 at FX2 Funding.
| Measure | For Traders | FX2 Funding |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $116 code TRADE15 | $235 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $4.64 | $9.40 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $129 | $247 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,000 (4%) | $2,500 (10%) |
| Drawdown type | Trailing | Static |
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
FX2 Funding 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 $1,500 more room at FX2 Funding ($2,500 against $1,000), which is 6.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto, FX2 Funding pays Crypto to wallet / Rise bank transfer. Timing is not the same either: Within 48 hours, guaranteed against 48 hours, average 8 hours.
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
- FX2 Funding advertises the higher split ceiling (80% base, 95% add-on).
- Payout rails are not the same: For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto, FX2 Funding pays Crypto to wallet / Rise bank transfer.
- the profit target at $25k runs 6% (Fast PRO Crypto) at For Traders against 8% then 5% (2-Step) at FX2 Funding.
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 FX2 Funding. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, For Traders at $41 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
Choose For Traders if Crypto traders who need weekend access and leverage above 1:5.
Choose FX2 Funding if Traders who mostly trade FX and want a cheap, fast-paying evaluation.
