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 | Propr | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $116 code TRADE15 | $125 | For Traders |
| $50k | $169 code TRADE15 | $245 | For Traders |
| $100k | $245 code TRADE15 | $450 | For Traders |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 0.1 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 $156 at Propr.
| Measure | For Traders | Propr |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $116 code TRADE15 | $125 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $4.64 | $5.00 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $129 | $156 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $1,000 (4%) | $750 (3%) |
| 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
Propr 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 $250 more room at For Traders ($1,000 against $750), which is 1.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto, Propr pays USDC on-chain. Timing is not the same either: Within 48 hours, guaranteed against Within 24 hours, site reports an 8m 16s median.
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
- For Traders advertises the higher split ceiling (90% on Fast PRO).
- Payout rails are not the same: For Traders pays Bank transfer / Crypto, Propr pays USDC on-chain.
- For Traders wants 6% (Fast PRO Crypto) of profit at $25k before a payout, Propr 9% (Turbo 1-Step).
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 Propr. If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Propr at $25 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.
