$3K challenge

$3,000 funded account challenge

Everything about a $3,000 FundedTick account in dollars: what it costs, what you need to make, how far it can fall, and what you are paid once you are funded.

Updated 30 Sept 2026

What it costs

$3,000 is the largest size before the two the catalog highlights. Two $3K accounts and a $5,000 account together sit $4,000 under the $15,000 cap, which is how some traders spread one strategy across three accounts.

TypeFeeRefund
1-Step$23100% with first payout
2-Step$29100% with first payout

One fee, paid once: no subscription and no monthly renewal, because there is no time limit to renew. If an attempt ends at a floor, a new evaluation costs the same fee again, so two attempts on the two-step cost $58 in total.

Funded and paid

Pass, and once your trades clear the rules check the funded account is issued. You keep 80% of the profit, paid bi-weekly, and your first payout adds the evaluation fee back. If a funded $3,000 account ends a cycle $90 up, you are paid $72.

Holding more than one account

Combined account size is capped at $15,000, counted across all your active evaluation and funded accounts.
