What changed, and what does not add up
The verification log: the reading passes and what each one touched, the contradictions found on firms’ own sites, and the promo codes with a published expiry.
Reading passes
August 18, 2026 — 301 fee lines re-read across 108 of 144 plans, at 13 firms, and 1 promo code. Every figure is dated and linked back to the page it came from.
August 16, 2026 — 132 fee lines re-read across 42 of 144 plans, at 13 firms, and 14 promo codes. Every figure is dated and linked back to the page it came from.
Nothing on this site has gone unchecked since August 16, 2026: that is the oldest reading still on display, not the date of a pass.
Contradictions found on the firms’ own sites
CONTRADICTION IN PUBLISHED SOURCES: the FAQ announces “an initial $120 Activation Fee after passing your evaluation”, the pricing page shows “Activation Fee: NONE”. The amount is kept so as not to understate the bill; announced as waived during the current promotion
CONTRADICTION IN PUBLISHED SOURCES: the FAQ announces $126/month of professional data fees deducted from the broker account balance in the funded phase, the promo page announces “free Level 2 data”. No exemption condition is stated: nothing lets you count on the free access advertised in the promotion
Promo codes with a published expiry date
| Firm | Code | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| Tradeify | AUG | August 31, 2026 |
| Take Profit Trader | 50AND3 | August 24, 2026 |
Codes with no published expiry are not listed here: the absence of a stated end date is not a guarantee that they will keep working.
Why this page exists
A comparison that only prints prices implies those prices are stable. They are not: in this business, fee schedules, promo codes and sometimes whole pricing models change from one month to the next. Publishing the date of every reading — and what turned out to be inconsistent while taking it — is the only honest way to display a figure at all.
