Cost to get funded
The sticker price is not the real cost: a failed challenge is not refunded. This tool divides the verified fee by the simulated probability of completing every phase — for your trader profile, in the browser.
Key facts
- Formula: expected cost per pass = challenge fee ÷ P(full pass) (verified 2026-10-08)
- Refundable fees are not deducted; the refund condition is shown separately when documented (verified 2026-10-08)
- 2,000 runs per estimate, seed 20261008, same engine as the simulator (verified 2026-10-08)
10,000 runs · seed 20261008 · 730-day hard cap
Precomputed table — 3 reference profiles per program
Precomputed at build (versioned JSON, seed 20261008, 2,000 runs). Reference profile = 50% win rate, 1.5 R, 1% risk, 2 trades/day.

The “prudent” profile shows the low-risk trap: very low P, exploding cost per pass. This is not advice — it is the same arithmetic applied to three profiles.
