How it compares

Target ÷ max loss

Break-even return

0.83%

Return needed on the funded account, at the starting split, for your share to cover the fee.

Cost per $100K

$660

Cheaper than the $1,100 median for $5K crypto challenges at other firms.

What the rules mean in practice

  • To pass, grow the $5K account by $600 (12%) without breaking a loss limit.
  • On any single day you can lose up to $150 (3%). Check Kraken Prop's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
  • The account fails if you lose $250 (5%). This is static drawdown: the loss limit is fixed at a set distance below your starting balance and never moves.
  • Consistency rule: None
  • At the starting 80% split, you need about 0.83% return on the funded $5K account to earn back the $33 fee, before any other charges.
  • Payouts: requested at any time from a funded account with no open positions or orders; each request is reviewed, usually within 12 hours and at most 24.
  • The 5% maximum drawdown is fixed from the starting balance; the 3% daily loss is reset at 00:30 UTC.
  • The 90/10 split upgrade adds 20% of the base fee and must be chosen at purchase.
