Monthly fees: Monthly fee on funded accounts: $5 per CFD/crypto account; futures $19 or $39 per account (the official FAQ shows both). Challenge extension $19 per 30 days.

True cost = evaluation + activation. "After 1 failed attempt" adds one reset (or a new evaluation where resets aren't offered). List prices before any sale or code; firms run promotions often, so confirm the final price at checkout.

2. Drawdown: how you can fail

IQ Capital: 6% EOD trailing (locks at starting capital); per-trade loss cap 1% in challenge, 0.5% funded (3rd breach closes the account).

"EOD" (end of day) means the limit is set from your balance at the close. "Trailing" means the floor rises with your best balance, so profit you give back still counts. "Intraday trailing" follows your balance in real time, including open trades.

3. Payout rules

90/10 split from the first dollar
first payout after 10 active trading days, then 10 new active days + 50% new profit per payout
each payout capped at 50% of profit and $1,500-$2,500 (50K), $2,000-$3,000 (100K), $3,000-$4,000 (200K)
funded consistency 30% (best day)

In short: you keep up to 90% of profits, subject to the conditions above.
