Which instant product suits which trader

A plain decision guide to choosing between Instant, Instant Pro, and Instant 24h based on your trading style and risk appetite.

The short answer

Choose Instant for the loosest rules and the most room to trade, Instant Pro for the lowest entry cost and the best all-round balance (it is the bestseller), or Instant 24h if you want a fast sprint with a 3% target in a 24-hour window and the tightest risk limits.

All three are instant accounts, so there is no evaluation to pass. You skip straight to a funded simulated account and start trading toward rewards. The difference between them is how much risk room you get, how the limits are shaped, and what (if anything) you have to hit. Pick the one that matches how you actually trade.


Quick decision guide

If you want this

Pick

The most drawdown room and no profit target

Instant

Lowest cost to start, same room, a single-trade guardrail

Instant Pro

A short, defined sprint with a clear finish line

Instant 24h


Pick Instant if you want the loosest rules

Instant is the standard instant account and has the most forgiving limits of the three. There is no profit target, so you are never racing a clock or a number. You trade, and rewards follow your performance.

  • 4% daily drawdown

  • 7% trailing maximum drawdown

  • 2% maximum loss on any single trade

  • No profit target, no time limit

This suits a trader who wants the widest room to let positions breathe and dislikes the pressure of a target. The single-trade cap of 2% still keeps one bad position from doing outsized damage, but otherwise this is the most open of the instant accounts.


Pick Instant Pro for lowest cost and the bestseller balance

Instant Pro is the most popular instant account, and for good reason. It keeps the same generous drawdowns as Instant, adds a tighter single-trade loss limit, and carries the lowest entry cost of the instant class. You get the same headroom with a stronger guardrail on any one trade, at the best price.

  • 4% daily drawdown

  • 7% trailing maximum drawdown

  • Tighter single-trade loss limit than Instant

  • No profit target, no time limit

  • Lowest entry cost of the instant accounts

This is the sensible default for most traders: nearly all the freedom of Instant, a little more discipline built into the single-trade rule, and the friendliest price to get started. If you are unsure, this is usually the one to choose.


Pick Instant 24h if you want a fast sprint

Instant 24h is built for traders who want a defined, short test of skill. It is the only instant account with a target: 3% within a 24-hour window. In exchange for that sprint, the risk rules are the tightest of the three.

  • 3% profit target inside a 24-hour window

  • 2% daily drawdown

  • 3% trailing maximum drawdown

  • 1% maximum loss on any single trade

This suits an active, confident trader who likes a clear finish line and trades with tight, deliberate risk. The narrow drawdowns leave little margin for error, so it rewards precision over patience. If you prefer to grind without a clock, choose Instant or Instant Pro instead.


Why some traders prefer the instant route

We say it plainly: most evaluations do not pass. That is one reason some traders skip the challenge entirely and go straight to an instant account. You avoid the pass-or-fail phases and begin trading toward rewards from day one. The trade-off is the drawdown structure above, which is what keeps the simulation disciplined.


What they all share

Whichever instant account you choose, the core economics are identical and fixed at every account size.

  • Account sizes up to $1M

  • 1:100 leverage

  • No time limit to hold the account (the 24-hour window on Instant 24h applies to its target only)

  • Available on MetaTrader 5, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader

You keep 90%

Every instant account uses the same 90% trader / 10% firm split, fixed at every size. Your share never shrinks as you scale.

Exact per-size prices are the clearest way to sharpen the cost comparison between the three. For current figures, see live pricing on your dashboard before you buy.
