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.

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.
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. 7 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

Tradeify list prices and homepage promotions can diverge
The comparison stores stable base purchase prices, not a temporary coupon, reset fee or purchase-date payout cap. Confirm the final discount, reset cost, account purchase date and applicable payout table in checkout and the account agreement.
Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.
These directory fields describe the firms, not a universal product rule. The sourced product tables above decide the exact fee, split, drawdown and trading conditions. Directory context is not independently refreshed by this comparison; verify platform and payment availability for the exact programme and country.
Scored out of 5 by Trustpilot users, not by us. Where Trustpilot has pulled a firm's aggregate rating we say so rather than leaving a blank.
These links are selected by asset and platform overlap, then limited to matchups where both sides have current first-party product evidence.
