1-Step Consistency / Best Day rule
50 %
For 1-Step accounts originating from orders created on or after 12 October 2026, or 1-Step accounts merged on or after that date, the Consistency rule applies: the best day's closed-trade profit must not exceed 50% of cumulative net closed-trade profit across all trading days, including losing days. For unmerged accounts directly initiated from orders created before 12 October 2026, the legacy Best Day rule remains: its denominator is the sum of net profit from profitable days only. Exceeding the ratio is not a breach, but the ratio must be met to pass the Challenge or qualify for a Reward, alongside the other requirements.

Compare licence prices, tool limits and live-data connection permissions. See what each ATAS plan includes, how to stop the trial, and which data and trading costs need a separate budget.
ATAS provides an analytical environment with external connections; NinjaTrader combines software and futures brokerage. Compare volume classification, depth, tool entitlements, practice and separate costs.
Compare the product, execution role and transfer route. Work through equal-notional futures fees, conflicting spot figures and checks that can change the total cost.
KCEX publishes lower execution fees, but the comparison depends on the product, account rate and fill price. Separate trading fees from funding and withdrawals.
Compare the same contract by account and trading channel. A maker-entry/taker-exit example shows how MEXC's API schedule changes the result and what to add before withdrawing.
Bookmap and ATAS offer different ways to read market activity. Compare resting liquidity with executed volume, match connections to practice and execution, and budget for licences and data separately.
Bookmap focuses on liquidity and executions over time; TradingView offers charts, alerts and scripts. Compare the data type, volume calculation and role of each application.
When stock base commission is zero, assess account scope, securities, fractions, trading tools, service charges and portfolio portability before choosing.
An exchange account, simple buying and derivatives are distinct services. Compare Coinbase and Bybit by permissions, executed value, funding and asset exit.
Check account permissions and the final outcome: simple purchasing, spot or a contract. Compare Coinbase and KCEX by net cost, withdrawal conditions and risk.
Total budget, trade value and execution commission are different inputs. Compare a Coinbase quote with the appropriate MEXC route, including pair, MX and API exceptions.
Compare controls by purpose: authenticating login, changing settings, withdrawal destinations and recovering access. A documented feature is neither a safety rating nor a custody guarantee.
An API key must match its task and API family. Compare permissions, IP restrictions and account scope, separating data records from trading and asset-transfer capabilities.
Compare KCEX, MEXC and Bybit for Israeli residents: spot and futures fees, discounts, deposit routes and service restrictions to check before opening an account.
A limit constrains the fill price but guarantees neither a fill nor maker fees. Compare order-book behavior, Post-Only and time in force before relying on the entered price.
Check TradingView and MetaTrader connections, normalize commission units and identify the contracting company for international Eightcap and OANDA US forex.
For EUR/USD in a USD account, Raw’s $6 round-trip commission per lot equals 0.6 pips. Examples at one lot and one tenth of a lot show when a spread saving covers it, alongside currency and platform rates.
Raw forex in a USD account: round-trip commission per lot is $6 at FP Markets on MT4/MT5 versus $7 at Eightcap under its international table. A $1 difference can be offset by spread; TradingView connections, cTrader and the contracting entity complete the decision.
Raw per-lot pricing versus Prime USD-turnover pricing: compare tariffs, billing timing, platform compatibility and permissions with a scoped worked example.
Choose between FTMO 1-Step and 2-Step using daily and static or trailing loss limits, the Consistency or Best Day rule based on the order or merge date, Standard and Swing accounts, and evaluation fee refunds.
Compare FTMO Challenge and Stellar by evaluation stages, loss limits, platforms and reward timing. Check how a programme fits your workflow before paying.
Compare FTMO CFD with Topstep Trading Combine by market, loss allowance, trading hours and programme progression. Simulated buying power is not a cash balance.
Compare futures Flex with standard Trading Combine: targets, trailing floors, billing, qualifying days and rewards. Stellar CFD terms are kept outside this comparison.
Separate execution accounts, trade data and the order book. Examine each tool's role, required permissions and a futures workspace without assuming automatic integration.
Compare an appropriate US account with a multi-currency portfolio workflow: opening restrictions, stock pricing, foreign trading, recurring purchases and fractional-share limitations.
An exchange file records activity at that provider; Koinly can combine sources and calculate from the data. Check coverage, transfers and duplicates before handing over reports.
Define the product before comparing spot holdings with a derivative. Examine Kraken and Bybit trading fees, execution and funding using equal-notional examples.
Separate zero trading commission from buying and withdrawal costs. Compare Kraken Pro and KCEX using execution price, funding, networks and exit workflow.
Ledger signs transactions and protects keys; Koinly consolidates data for reconciliation and reports. Combining them requires public addresses, complete history and checks before export.
Compare all five Ledger models by phone and desktop connectivity, transaction readability and backup options to choose a device that fits how you use crypto.
The choice depends on who signs and how access is recovered. Coinbase documents several wallet types and a Ledger connection to the Base extension; these differ from its exchange account.
A worksheet comparing Ledger self-custody with an exchange balance: key control, recovery after a failure, trading access and the cost of returning funds.
Compare orders, automation and migration across MT4, MT5 and cTrader, with a netting-versus-hedging example and a clear separation of software features from broker terms.
Compare NinjaTrader Clearing pricing with the US Plus500 Futures offering only. Assess per-side commissions, plan fees, data and withdrawals without importing Plus500 CFD terms.
Compare service roles, capital, margins, programme limits and operating costs. A NinjaTrader Clearing account and Combine are different account arrangements.
Plus500EE spread pricing versus Eightcap Standard and Raw: platforms, round-trip costs, financing and net profit/loss conversion with worked scenarios.
Plus500EE CFDs versus OANDA US forex: identify the contract, compare financing in consistent units and distinguish spread, conversion and account costs.
One-time challenges versus subscriptions, activation, resets and conditional refunds. Budget calculations for specified programmes without assuming a pass, discount or account acceptance.
When rewards can be requested, which profits count, how caps and splits affect money received, and what changes afterward. Every figure is tied to its programme and cohort.
Kraken offers recurring-order management in its app; Coinbase executes a purchase at setup and requires a new schedule to change amount or frequency. Compare every charge.
Compare Belize’s RoboForex Ltd with US OANDA Corporation: accounts, lots versus USD turnover, commission timing and the distinction between costs and risk.
How to compare a long-term portfolio at Saxo and Schwab International: security and venue, settlement currency, holding charges, stock lending and order channel.
A US portfolio in an appropriate account versus additional markets and currencies: opening conditions, foreign trading, conversion, custody and investing tools.
