One entry plus known activation
This hypothetical scenario assumes one evaluation entry, no reset and activation after passing. It excludes taxes, data, commissions and unconfirmed expenses. It is a known-fee subtotal, not a pass-cost estimate.
Which difference should drive the decision?
This selection uses ETF’s one-time activation amount. Its monthly alternative is a separate option and must not be added as though both are compulsory. Review both exact configuration pages and their dated official evidence before purchasing.
The detail most easily missed
ETF’s close-before-market-close condition and size-specific payout rules remain separate from the drawdown label.
Before choosing either
Confirm the current offer, your country eligibility, the agreement for the exact stage and the costs of another attempt. Neither a source check nor a side-by-side table establishes that a firm is financially safe. We have not purchased or traded these programs.
