FundYourFX charges a one-time program entry fee to access a funded trading account. Here’s a transparent breakdown of why the fee exists, what it covers, and why it’s standard practice across the prop trading industry.
What Does the Entry Fee Cover?
- Account setup and infrastructure — Provisioning your funded account on our trading platform
- Platform licensing — Access to MatchTrader and the associated technology costs
- Risk management systems — The software and processes that monitor drawdown, enforce rules, and protect the integrity of funded accounts
- Administrative and compliance costs — Onboarding, identity verification, and payment processing
Why Do Prop Firms Charge Fees?
Prop firms provide traders with access to funded capital they wouldn’t otherwise have. In exchange for providing that capital and absorbing the risk of funding unknown traders, firms charge an entry fee. This is the standard model used by all major prop firms including FTMO, FundedNext, and Topstep.
The fee protects the firm from traders who have no skin in the game — it ensures every trader has a genuine stake in performing well and following the rules.
Is the Fee Refunded?
Yes — your entry fee is fully refunded once you’ve achieved qualifying payouts. The threshold is either three successful payouts or payouts totalling 24% of your profit share — whichever is higher. This means your effective cost of entry becomes zero over time if you trade consistently.
See our full refund policy article for details and worked examples.
Are There Any Other Fees?
No — the entry fee is the only cost. There are no monthly fees, no renewal fees, no inactivity charges, and no hidden costs. See our No Additional Fees article for full details.
