The expensive way to learn the rules is $540. This way is $0.
Every rule you've never felt costs a fee to feel. FundedLot's free tier exists so your first daily-loss breach, your first drawdown squeeze, and your first revenge spiral happen on virtual funds — not on a paid attempt.
Exactly what's free, in one honest list
"Free" pages usually hide the catch below the fold. Here's ours in full: the free tier is a complete practice environment, and the paid tiers add volume and depth — not the basics.
The full simulator
All instruments — forex, metals, indices, crypto — with real market prices, realistic spreads and slippage. Not a limited "trial market."
One complete evaluation
A full challenge run — targets, daily loss, drawdown, minimum days — enforced end to end, included at $0. No card required to start it.
The rules engine
Daily and total drawdown enforced tick by tick against equity, exactly as on paid tiers; trailing, consistency and timezone rules judged in the simulated payout check. Free users don't get a softer rulebook — that would defeat the point.
Coach headlines
Mistake counts and headline warnings — you'll know you revenge-traded 9 times. The full dollar-cost breakdown and reports are Pro.
Learning content
The glossary, core lessons, and the rule explainers that turn each breach into something you understand.
The catch, stated plainly
Free includes ads and one evaluation. More runs come from attempt packs from $4.99 or Pro. That's the entire business model — no funded-account upsell, ever.
What practising free actually saves
Real evaluation fees are commonly $50–$540 per attempt, and the fee is gone the moment you breach. The math of rehearsing first is not subtle.
| Scenario | Learning on paid attempts | Learning on FundedLot first |
|---|---|---|
| First daily-loss breach | −$50 to −$540 (fee lost) | $0 — full autopsy, retry instantly |
| Learning trailing drawdown | Often a second lost fee | $0 — judged in the simulated payout check |
| Finding your real risk number | 2–5 attempts, commonly cited | $0 — measured from your own trades |
| Typical total before first pass | Hundreds of dollars | $0 — then pay for one real attempt, prepared |
Fees vary by firm and account size. Practice improves preparation; it never guarantees a pass.
Free practice FAQ
Is prop firm practice on FundedLot really free?
Yes. The simulator, real market prices, all instruments and one full evaluation cost $0, with no card required. The free tier is ad-supported; paid tiers remove ads and add unlimited evaluations and deeper analysis.
Why is it free — what do you get out of it?
The honest answer: ads on the free tier, and a share of users who want unlimited runs and full analysis upgrading to packs or Pro. We sell practice depth. We never sell funded accounts, signals, or promises.
Can I practise a specific firm's challenge for free?
Yes — rule profiles are editable on every tier. Copy the target, daily loss, drawdown style and minimum days from the firm's published rules and run your free evaluation on those exact settings.
Do free evaluations use real market prices?
Yes. Free and paid tiers share the same live price pipeline across forex, metals, indices and crypto. A rehearsal on fake prices would be theatre.
What happens when my free evaluation ends?
You get the full result either way — pass or a complete failure autopsy. To run another evaluation you can buy a one-off attempt pack from $4.99 or go unlimited with Pro. Your history, grades and mistake data stay with you.
