What is For Traders refund policy?
Last verified: 2026-03-21 | Official rules
For Traders refunds the challenge fee with your first profit payout once you reach the funded stage. This is standard across most prop firms.
How the refund works:
- -Pay the challenge fee upfront ($49-$429)
- -Pass the 2-step evaluation
- -Get funded and trade profitably
- -Your first payout includes the original challenge fee as a refund
Fees by account size:
- -$5,000: $49 (refunded with first payout)
- -$10,000: $89 (refunded with first payout)
- -$25,000: $159 (refunded with first payout)
- -$50,000: $259 (refunded with first payout)
- -$100,000: $429 (refunded with first payout)
Important: If you fail the challenge (hit max drawdown, violate daily loss limit, or break trading rules), the fee is not refunded. You would need to purchase a new evaluation to try again.
Before paying, make sure you understand:
- -The evaluation has 2 phase(s) to pass
- -Max drawdown is 10% (static (floor never moves))
- -Daily loss limit is 5%
- -Profit target is 10%
