How it works

Three steps. Five euros to begin.

Access splits the cost of getting funded in two — so you risk almost nothing to find out if you can pass.

1

Start for €5

Pay the €5 challenge fee and your 1-step evaluation begins instantly. That's the only money on the line. Choose your account size at checkout.

That's all you risk
2

Pass at your own pace

Hit the profit target on a single, clear evaluation. No time limit, no minimum trading days, no best-day rule — trade when the setups are there.

No time pressure
3

Activate & get refunded

Once you pass, pay the one-time activation fee to unlock your funded account — then we refund it in full on your 2nd payout. Keep up to 95% of profits.

Refunded on 2nd payout

Why "pay after you pass" changes everything

Most prop firms make you pay the full price up front and keep it whether you pass or not. With Access, the big fee — the activation — is only charged after you've already proven you can trade. And because it comes back on your 2nd payout, passing traders effectively get funded for the price of a coffee.

Access vs. the old way

Stop paying full price to fail.

Typical prop challenge

Pay everything up front — win or lose.
  • Full fee charged before you've proven anything
  • Fail, and the whole fee is gone
  • Tight time limits and minimum-day rules
  • Two-step gauntlets before you see a cent

Starting for €5 made it a no-brainer. I only paid the activation once I'd passed, and the rules were exactly as described.

No time pressure on the evaluation and clear targets. Being able to use TradeLocker in the US sealed it for me.

Passed at my own pace and got the activation back on my second payout. The 95% split is the real deal.

The activation fee actually came back on my second payout. Everything matched what the page said, line for line.

Asked a question on Discord at 2am and got a real answer before I'd even funded. That's when I knew they were serious.

I've blown challenges elsewhere purely on time limits. No clock here meant I could trade my actual strategy.

Started on a whim for €5 and passed in two weeks on cTrader. First payout hit my account in under 48 hours.

The split-payment idea sounded too good. It wasn't — paid €5, passed, paid the activation, got it back. Simple.

Running TradingView and still getting a US-friendly account is rare. For me that was the whole reason to choose PTB.

Questions

What's the catch?

What's the catch with €5?
None. The €5 starts a one-step evaluation. Pass, and you pay the one-time activation fee to unlock your funded account — which is refunded in full on your 2nd payout. Don't pass, and €5 is all you've spent.
When do I pay the activation fee?
Only after you pass. It's the second part of the split-payment model and is refunded in full on your 2nd payout. If you don't pass, it's never charged.
What happens if I don't pass?
The €5 challenge fee is non-refundable, but you never pay the activation fee. You can start a new challenge whenever you're ready.
Is there a time limit?
No. The Access evaluation has no time limit and no minimum trading days to pass.
Which platforms can I use? Can US traders join?
TradeLocker, TradingView, cTrader, Match-Trader, DXtrade and MT5. US traders are welcome on every platform except MT5, which is restricted by jurisdiction.
How much do I keep, and how am I paid?
Up to 95% of the profit you generate on your funded account, requested and paid through your PTB dashboard once you meet the payout rules.
Is PTB a broker or regulated firm?
No. Plutus Trade Base provides simulated, educational trading evaluations. It is not a broker or financial advisor and does not accept client deposits. You never risk your own capital, and payouts are performance-based rewards on simulated performance. No profit is guaranteed.
