Why does FundYourFX charge an entry fee?

Why does FundYourFX charge an entry fee?


FundYourFX charges a single, one-time entry fee per program. Here is what it covers and why it exists.


What does the entry fee pay for?


Your entry fee funds the infrastructure that lets you trade a funded, simulated account:


  • Account setup and infrastructure — provisioning your funded account on our trading platform.
  • Platform technology — the trading and dashboard systems you use every day.
  • Risk monitoring — the systems that track performance and enforce program rules.
  • Compliance — identity verification and related checks.


Why do prop firms charge a fee at all?


Proprietary trading firms give traders access to capital they could not obtain on their own. The fee ensures every trader has a genuine stake in performing well, rather than trading with nothing to lose. This is standard practice across the industry, in line with firms such as FTMO, FundedNext, and Topstep.


Do I get the fee back?


Yes. You become eligible for a refund of your one-time entry fee after 3 successful payouts that total at least 6% profit.


For active, successful traders, the entry fee becomes a recoverable cost rather than a permanent expense.


Are there any other costs?


No. The entry fee is your only financial obligation. There are no monthly fees, no renewal fees, no inactivity charges, and no hidden costs.


Current pricing


Entry fees vary by program and account size. For the current price of any program, head to checkout.
