An evaluation costs several hundred US dollars depending on the provider, and a rule break on day three costs the whole amount. In GlanWick you practice the same rule set beforehand, for 250 credits per run: 9 verified templates from well-known providers, plus custom rule sets for any other firm. Every trade runs against profit target, daily loss and drawdown, and a rule break ends the run instantly. It all runs on real prices, fees and slippage, so the result means something. The Starter plan includes 400 credits a month, which covers one run a month. The journal and the simulator themselves stay free.

Values taken from each provider's official pages on 30 August 2026, shown for the first stage of the account model named. Providers change their rules, and in case of doubt theirs applies. Where a provider uses a trailing drawdown, it takes over the daily limit's role.
For the two futures providers the rule engine runs in full, but live prices for futures contracts aren't available yet. There you enter the price yourself or practice on the index.
What actually gets checked
Profit target
Progress toward the target runs live, tracked separately per stage on 2-step models.
Daily loss limit
Measured against the day's opening balance, open positions included. Break it and the run is over.
Maximum drawdown
Static or trailing, depending on the rule set. Trailing follows your equity high, which is how runs blow up while still in profit.
Minimum trading days
Counted along the way, so a run doesn't fail on a formality nobody had on their radar.
Consistency rule
The best day's share of total profit, for the providers that require it.
Custom rules
Every value configurable, for any firm not listed here as a template.
Why the result means something
A demo account with no costs flatters you. GlanWick prices a 0.4% fee and 0.01 to 0.05% slippage into every order, and PnL is always net. Prices come live from the market for crypto, forex, stocks and indices.
Every simulated trade also lands in the journal, with setup, tags and R-multiple. After the run you don't just see whether you would have passed, you see what decided it.
Two levels, one account
Practice as much as you like
Trade in the simulator with real prices, a 0.4% fee and slippage, as many trades as you like. You see all nine providers' rule sets in full, and the journal analyses every trade. If you only want to sharpen your strategy, you stay here and never pay a thing.
Take the evaluated run
Here you stop counting yourself. The rule set runs live: the daily limit against the day's open, trailing drawdown against your equity high, minimum days and consistency. A breach ends the run instantly, and the report then names the rule and the trade that did it. Exactly what the real evaluation does to you, without the three-figure fee.
Both live in the same account. You can spend weeks on level 1 and only start the evaluated run once you think it will hold.
What does it cost?
One evaluated challenge run costs 250 credits. The journal, the simulator and the analysis of your trades cost nothing, and that won't change. What separates the plans is the credits per month and how many runs you can keep open.
- Practice beforehand as often as you like: real prices, fees, slippage
- A rule break costs credits, no three-figure fee
- A report after every run: which rule, which trade
- Cancel monthly, the journal and the simulator stay free
- One rule break ends the attempt, and the fee is gone
- The next attempt usually costs the full price again
- The learning happens at your own expense, mid-way through a paid attempt
Provider prices are list prices as of 30 August 2026, sources in the topic overview. Many providers run rotating discount promos. The two futures providers bill monthly (USD 49 and 170) and sit below that range.
Enough for the journal, the simulator and the rule sets. For an evaluated run you need to collect credits or top up.
Covers one evaluated run a month, plus 2 parallel simulator slots and the advanced analytics.
For anyone working through several rule sets. Plus 3 slots, broker sync and the dashboard warnings.
Credits apply to every AI and compute feature, not just challenges. You can top up credits in your account. All plans cancellable monthly, cheaper on an annual plan. The full overview is on the pricing page.
Who this is for
- Before your first purchase: You don't yet know which rule set fits your style. A practice run costs 250 credits, a badly chosen evaluation costs several hundred dollars.
- After a blown limit: You lost a challenge and want to know whether it was the setup or the rule you overlooked.
- For your own account: Even with no interest in funding, hard loss limits are the best discipline training there is.
- Straight into the real challenge, if: you already trade your rule set inside out and the fee is deliberately budgeted. Then a practice round adds little, buy directly from the provider.
Start in 3 steps
- 1.Create a free account, no credit card.
- 2.Pick a template or set your own rules: profit target, daily loss, drawdown type, minimum days.
- 3.Start the run (250 credits) and trade. The rules run in the background, and the report arrives after the run.
Frequently asked
Is this a real prop firm challenge?
No, and that's the point. You practice the rule set in the simulator, with no fee and no real money. Passing a run here is not an application and not an account with any provider. If you want funding, you still sign up with the provider of your choice.
What if I don't want a challenge at all?
Then GlanWick costs you nothing. The simulator is open to you without limits, with real prices, fees and slippage, the journal analyses every trade, and you can still look through all nine providers' rule sets. The evaluated run is an offer, not a condition.
Which rules actually get checked?
Profit target, daily loss limit, maximum drawdown (static and trailing), minimum trading days and consistency rules. Every trade runs against those rules, and a rule break ends the run instantly, exactly like at the provider.
What does it cost?
The account, the journal and the simulator cost nothing. One evaluated challenge run costs 250 credits. As a new user you start with 50 credits and earn 5 per login day, so a run isn't available right away. The Starter plan (EUR 9.99 a month) includes 400 credits and covers one run a month, Pro (EUR 19.99) includes 2,000 credits for eight runs. Credits can also be topped up separately or earned through referrals.
Are the prices real?
Yes. For crypto, forex, stocks and indices the prices come live from the market. We price in a 0.4% fee and 0.01 to 0.05% slippage per order, and PnL is always net. For pure futures contracts like NQ or ES there are no live prices yet, so you enter the price yourself or use the index instead.
My firm isn't in the list.
Then you build the rule set yourself: profit target, daily loss, drawdown type, minimum days and consistency are all configurable. That covers practically any evaluation, even when its provider isn't listed here as a template.
Is GlanWick affiliated with any of these firms?
No. There is no partnership, no commission and no endorsement. The rule sets are here because you want to practice them, and the names are trademarks of their respective owners.
