What the low price trades away

Cheap usually means one of: tiny size (payouts in tens of dollars), more phases (Bootcamp is 3 steps), tighter drawdowns (Maven's 3-Step runs a 3% max), or futures trailing rules. None of these are scams — they're trade-offs. The programs table shows exactly which one you're accepting; sort by price and read the drawdown column.

The small-budget strategy that works

Buy the smallest account at a firm whose rules you intend to keep long-term, treat it as paid education, and only scale to $50–100K after passing once. A $20 challenge failed teaches the same lesson as a $500 one. The trap to avoid is re-buy roulette — five impulsive $30 challenges cost more than one deliberate $95 Bootcamp with three months of patience behind it.
