Maven's own products disagree on 12 terms. On evaluation steps it is 1-step on Standard 1-Step and Buy Now, Pay Later and Prediction Markets One-Step Essential and Prediction Markets One-Step Elite, versus 2-step on Standard 2-Step and OMO 2-Step, versus instant funding on Instant and Mini, versus 3-step on Standard 3-Step. Which product you buy decides that rule, not which firm you sign with — a firm-level table cannot show this.

R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

Rule-by-rule, product by product
Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 12 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

Dated changes affecting these firms
TradeDayVerified
New TradeDay Fast Pass accounts use funded consistency
An account's open date now changes payout eligibility. Check whether the 45% rule applies before sizing a payout request.
TradeDayOpen watch
TradeDay disagrees on Fast Pass days and a payout cap
The comparison leaves the minimum-day field unknown and does not choose a disputed 100K cap. Confirm both rules for the exact account before purchase or payout.
MavenVerified
Maven's Prediction pages now agree on loss limits
Use 5% (Phase 1) and 8% (funded) maximum loss for both Prediction paths; the two differ in drawdown model (trailing vs static). Confirm the rule set in the account agreement before purchase.
TradeDayOpen watch
TradeDay monthly prices were tied to a 55%-off promotion
Treat the table price as a dated promotional snapshot. Recheck the first month, renewal, and reset totals before paying.
