02
Three details that change the result
Check whether pending-order triggers count as execution. Compare evaluation and funded-account policies separately. Record the provider's event calendar and time zone.
03
Compare like with like
Use the same market, nominal account size and named product. Keep original currencies visible, distinguish one-time from recurring charges and do not transfer a rule from one program variant to another.
04
Run the cost and risk check
Convert the maximum loss into a currency buffer, add realistic subscriptions, activation and resets, then test whether your normal position size can survive an ordinary losing streak without approaching the provider limit.
