A small bait is required to catch the fish – Trading in the markets always require risk to be taken.
The initial fee to take the challenge is a small sacrifice, although this is refunded by many firms once the challenge is passed along with the first withdrawal of the funded account. FTMO, MyForexFunds, TrueForexFunds, all offer a refund on their challenge accounts.
Even once trading on a live funded account, a small risk is required in order to make gains. We recommend 0.1% – 0.25% risk to preserve account risk parameters from being breached.
