Register with your email and a password, or sign in with Google. Registration is free and gives you access to the dashboard before you buy anything.
2. Choose your account
From Dashboard › Accounts › New account, pick:
- Program: Challenge Rapid, Challenge Steady or Fty Direct.
- Size: $25K, $50K, $100K or $150K.
- Platform: TradingThings (TradingView charts), Quantower or MotiveWave.
If you have a discount or affiliate code, enter it at checkout.
3. Pay
Pay by card, PayPal or crypto. Challenge Rapid is a monthly subscription paid by card or PayPal; Challenge Steady and Fty Direct are one-time payments.
4. Receive your credentials
Your account is created automatically. Your trading credentials arrive by email within minutes and are always available in Dashboard › Accounts › Credentials.
5. Log in to R|Trader first
Before opening your platform, log in once to R|Trader (web) with your credentials to accept the market data agreements and select Non-Professional status. This step is required by the data provider.
