What the low price trades away

A cheap program usually means one of the following:

• ›a small size (payouts in tens of dollars);
• ›more phases (Bootcamp is 3 steps);
• ›tighter drawdowns (Maven's 3-Step runs a 3% max);
• ›futures trailing rules.

Each of these is a trade-off rather than a defect. The programs table shows which one the trader is accepting. Sorting by price and reading the drawdown column makes it visible.

A small-budget approach

Traders can buy the smallest account at a firm whose rules they intend to keep long term. That account works as paid education, and scaling to $50-100K should wait until after one pass. A $20 challenge failed teaches the same lesson as a $500 one.

The pattern to avoid is repeated impulsive re-buys. Five impulsive $30 challenges cost more than one deliberate $95 Bootcamp with three months of patience behind it.
