Compare like with like

Use the same market, nominal account size and named product. Keep original currencies visible, distinguish one-time from recurring charges and do not transfer a rule from one program variant to another.

Run the cost and risk check

Convert the maximum loss into a currency buffer, add realistic subscriptions, activation and resets, then test whether your normal position size can survive an ordinary losing streak without approaching the provider limit.

Before checkout

Open every linked primary source again. Confirm the product name, account size, final price, drawdown basis, prohibited strategies and first payout requirements. Save the pages that formed your decision.
