What the Matcher Considers

  • Challenge price — The upfront fee for the evaluation phase. Lower isn't always better — some cheap firms have stricter rules that fail more traders, so we weight price relative to rule flexibility when scoring.

  • Profit split — The percentage of trading profits you keep after passing the evaluation. We score firms on the actual split you receive on day one, not the maximum achievable after scaling milestones.

  • Max drawdown — The largest total loss you can take before your account is closed. A higher max drawdown gives you more room to recover from losing streaks — critical for swing traders and position traders.

  • Payout speed — How quickly the firm processes your first and subsequent withdrawal requests. We track reported payout windows from verified trader reviews, not marketing copy on the firm's own site.

  • Instruments offered — The full list of tradeable assets — forex pairs, indices, commodities, crypto, and futures. If you trade a non-standard instrument, many firms will disqualify your account, so instrument coverage is a hard filter.

  • Platforms supported — Whether the firm supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, or a proprietary platform. Your existing setup and EAs will only work on compatible platforms, which eliminates some firms outright.

  • Evaluation steps — Whether you must pass a 1-step, 2-step, or 3-step challenge before getting funded. More steps means more time and more fees if you fail — but some multi-step programs have more lenient rules per phase.

  • Time limits — Whether the firm imposes a minimum or maximum number of trading days per phase. Firms with no time limits suit traders with flexible schedules; strict day-count rules can disqualify part-time traders.

  • Trustpilot rating — The firm's current star rating and review count on Trustpilot, pulled directly from the platform. We weight both score and volume — a 4.8 from 200 reviews carries more signal than a 4.9 from 12.

  • Payout reliability — Separate from payout speed, this factor captures whether the firm has a documented history of refusing or delaying payouts. A single credible denial scandal drops a firm's score significantly here.

  • Customer support — Responsiveness and quality of support — measured by community reports and our own test inquiries. Poor support is a leading indicator of account disputes being handled badly when real money is at stake.

  • Broker partner — The underlying broker that executes the simulated trades. Execution quality, spread sizes, and slippage differ by partner, and some traders have strong preferences based on past trading experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely free. No signup, no email collection, no paywall. You can retake the quiz as many times as you want.
For first-time challenge takers, we typically recommend firms with one-step evaluations, generous max drawdowns, and no time limits — but the right answer depends on your account size and risk appetite. Take the matcher above for a personalized recommendation.
The comparison tool lets you put two or three firms side-by-side when you already know which ones to compare. The matcher is the opposite — it tells you which firms to consider in the first place, based on your situation.
We earn affiliate commissions when you sign up with a firm through our links, but the matcher's scoring is independent of payout rates. We score firms on the same 12 factors regardless of whether they pay us more or less. You can read our full affiliate disclosure on the Offers page.
It's a starting point, not a guarantee. The matcher narrows 34 firms down to your top 3 based on the factors most traders weigh — but you should still read the full review pages, check current Trustpilot ratings, and read the firm's own rules before paying for a challenge.
Yes. The quiz doesn't store any data — every time you start, it's a fresh run. Useful if you're scaling up (larger account) or changing your trading style (e.g., moving from swing to scalping).
Most firms we cover have active offers — we'll surface the discount code in the matcher results when one is available. If your top match has no current discount, the firm-specific results page will link to all their current offers.
We cover both. The matcher asks which instruments you want to trade and weights firms accordingly. Currently we cover 34 firms spanning forex, futures, indices, crypto, and commodities.
