Is For Traders worth it?

Verdict

Aggressive pricing and a trailing-to-static drawdown model that's particularly relevant for XAUUSD traders. Worth flagging before you buy: several trader reports (Apr 2025-Aug 2026) describe accounts breached at or immediately after a payout request, and Trustpilot removed the firm's rating for a guidelines breach as of an August 2026 check. Not proof of wrongdoing, but reason to start small and document everything.

Pros

  • Very low entry price on challenges
  • Trailing drawdown converts to static once funded
  • Commission-free on indices and crypto

Cons

  • Multiple trader reports of breaches near payout requests
  • Trustpilot rating currently unavailable after a guidelines breach
  • $3/lot commission on forex, metals, commodities and oil
