$5,000 funded account challenge

Everything about a $5,000 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

$5,000 is the size the catalog highlights on the pricing card: an editorial pick, not a measured one. It is the smallest account on which a $150 funded cycle pays $120 at the 80% split.

TypeFeeRefund
1-Step$39100% with first payout
2-Step$49100% 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 $98 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 $5,000 account ends a cycle $150 up, you are paid $120.

Holding more than one account

Combined account size is capped at $15,000. A $5,000 and a $10,000 account together sit exactly at the cap.
