Funding Challenge – SurgeTrader Vs Funded Trader

SurgeTrader didn’t sidestep the conventional evaluation challenge policy which is prevalent in the prop industry. And so, they expect traders to pass this challenge before being placed on a live account. However, they have a unique one-phase model which means traders need not go through another painstaking 60 days wait for the stage 2 of the evaluation challenge as it is common with most prop firms, and is the case with Funded trader.

The Funded Trader like SurgeTrader mandates that traders undergo an evaluation challenge before getting funded unlike the instant funding that other prop firms like the 5%ers offer. The funded trader in contrast to the Surgetrader policy requires a double phase challenge for their intending traders to get funded.
