Challenge Purchase Guide
Step-by-step instructions for buying a challenge, including sizing, payment options, and what to do after purchase.
What It Means
Purchasing a challenge is the process of selecting an account size, paying the fee, and receiving access to the evaluation trading platform. It is a straightforward transaction: you choose from five account sizes ($5K at $49, $10K at $79, $25K at $149, $50K at $249, or $100K at $399), pay via crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH, LTC) or other available methods, and receive your challenge account credentials instantly.
Choosing the Right Account Size
Your choice of account size should depend on:
- Risk per trade: If you typically risk 0.5% per trade, a $5K account means $25 risk per trade. A $50K account means $250 risk per trade. Choose a size where your normal position sizing fits the 3% daily drawdown comfortably.
- Fee affordability: The fee ranges from $49 to $399. Do not buy a larger account if the fee would cause financial stress. A $49 challenge is affordable for most traders.
- Profit goals: Larger accounts produce larger absolute profits (6% of $100K = $6,000 vs 6% of $5K = $300). But the difficulty scales the same percentage-wise.
- Experience level: First-time challenge buyers should start with $5K or $10K to learn the process before sizing up.

Pricing Summary
| Feature | Size | Price | With NEW2026 (40% off) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5K | $49 | $29.40 | |
| $10K | $79 | $47.40 | |

Payment Methods
The primary payment method is cryptocurrency. Payments are processed through NOWPayments, which supports:
- USDT (TRC20): Tether on the TRON network — fast and low fees. Recommended for most users.
- USDT (BEP20): Tether on the Binance Smart Chain — also fast and low fees.
- BTC: Bitcoin — slower confirmation times and higher fees, but widely available.
- ETH: Ethereum — medium confirmation times, gas fees vary.
- LTC: Litecoin — fast confirmations and low fees. Good alternative to USDT.
After Purchase
Once your payment is confirmed and your account is created:
- Check your email for the account credentials (platform URL, login, password, server details).
- Log into the platform and verify your account balance matches the purchased size.
- Review the account dashboard for the drawdown limits displayed in real time.
- Do not start trading immediately — take time to set up your charts, indicators, and position sizing calculations.
- Plan your first few trades. The first trade of a challenge often sets the psychological tone for the entire evaluation.
Allowed Examples
A first-time challenge buyer selects a $5K account ($49), applies NEW2026 to pay $29.40, and pays with USDT via TRC20. The payment confirms in 5 minutes.
Smart approach: lowest cost, easiest payment method, and minimum financial risk while learning the process.
An experienced trader buys a $100K challenge for $399 with no promo code because NEW2026 expired. They pay with LTC for fast confirmation.
Paying full price is acceptable if the promo has expired. LTC is a good choice for speed and low fees.
Violation Examples
A trader buys a $100K challenge as their first ever purchase, despite having less than 1 month of trading experience.
Jumping to the largest size without experience is high risk. The $399 fee is lost if the trader fails quickly, which is likely without proper preparation.
A trader attempts to pay with a credit card that is not accepted, then tries to dispute the charge with their bank after purchasing and changing their mind.
Credit cards are not a listed payment method. Disputing a legitimate purchase is fraud and will result in account termination and a permanent ban.
Common Mistakes
- Buying the largest account size ($100K) when a smaller size would be more appropriate — the percentage difficulty is the same, so start small.
- Forgetting to apply the promo code and paying full price unnecessarily.
- Buying a challenge without having a trading plan ready — you should know exactly how you will trade before you purchase.
- Using a payment method that is not supported (e.g., credit/debit cards) and getting stuck in the checkout process.
- Not saving the account credentials in a secure location after purchase.
- Starting to trade immediately without setting up the platform properly — rushing leads to mistakes.
