Challenges, rule by rule

How we sort and calculate

• We sort by measurable values only: list price, cost per 1,000 of buffer, profit target ÷ buffer, starting profit split, first payout and name. Never by commission, partner status, Red/Green Flags or an overall score – there is none.
• The default is name (A–Z). Clicking a column header sorts by that column; a second click reverses the direction.
• A challenge without the value goes last, in either direction. It is never counted as 0.
• Buffer = maximum loss of the first evaluation phase (instant accounts: of the simulated account) as an amount for the account size.
• Cost per 1,000 of buffer = list price (subscriptions: one month) plus an activation fee where the firm states one, divided by the buffer in thousands. Where no activation fee is recorded, none is included. Discount codes never count.
• Target ÷ buffer = all evaluation profit targets added up, divided by the buffer. Lower means less simulated profit needed per unit of room to lose.
• First payout: days as the firm states them; where it states trading days, those count as the minimum number of calendar days.
• Prices and costs in different currencies are converted for the order only when you pick EUR or CHF – then at the ECB euro reference rate of 6 November 2026. Without a chosen currency the currencies stay apart, USD first. The firm's own currency is always shown first.

Commission: we have no partner agreement with any listed firm (as of 7 November 2026).

This table contains no partner links. Every row leads to the firm profile with all sources.
