The calculation most people get wrong

The cost of access to capital is not the challenge fee — it is the fee multiplied by the average number of attempts. Published industry pass rates run from a few percent to around 10%. Multiply from ~$32 to ~$1,000 per attempt depending on the model by a realistic number of attempts and compare it with trading your own deposit at the same risk — position size calculator.
