How to read the result

The time to the target is the sum of the profit targets divided by your usual monthly gain. It is a rough guide, not a forecast: none of these programs has a deadline, so there is no need to hurry.

Where the numbers come from

Every limit in the table comes from the firms' official pages, checked on the date shown on the comparison page. Percentages are of the starting balance. Some programs have more rules than the calculator covers, such as minimum trading days and limits on small coins. Read the full rules in HyroTrader vs Crypto Fund Trader and on the firms' sites before you pay.

How to find your numbers

  1. Export your trade history or open your account's profit and loss calendar.
  2. Worst day: the largest loss in a single day, divided by the account balance at the start of that day.
  3. Deepest drop: the largest fall from a high point of your balance to the lowest point that followed.
  4. Usual month: your typical monthly gain over the last several months, not your best one.

If you are new to trading and have no history, practise on a demo account first: a challenge fee is a real cost.

Risk warning: crypto trading and prop firm challenges are risky. Many traders fail a challenge and lose the fee. Only pay what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is financial advice.
