CK Propfirm

CK Propfirm sells four challenge routes — 2 Step Standard, 1 Step Standard, 2 Step Pro and Instant Funding — on MT5 or TradeLocker, both available on every plan, across sizes from $10,000 to $300,000 and scaling to a stated $750,000 ceiling. It claims more than 20,000 active traders and $1,385,127.63 in total payouts, with leverage at 1:100, an 80% profit split, flexible payout cycles and a 48-hour payout guarantee. All capital is described as simulated in demo environments. Pricing at the time of writing was running an OCT80 code cutting 80% off — $15.04 on a $10,000 account against a $75.20 list price, and $142.56 on $100,000 against $712.80 — with a further 5% off second and third accounts bought in the same order.

On the 2 Step Standard the targets are 10% and then 5%, the daily loss limit is 4% and the maximum loss 8%, with unlimited time on both phases and no minimum trading days or consistency requirement during the evaluation itself. That is unusually open: an account can be passed in a single day. The constraint arrives afterwards. A 50% consistency rule applies to payouts on the funded account — marked as “50% Consistency on Payout” on the plan card and confirmed in the calculator — so a trader who cleared both phases in one session has to spread profit across at least two days before being paid for it. The 2 Step Pro route exists specifically to remove that, carrying “no consistency score”, which is the difference worth paying for if a strategy concentrates profit.

Past the two phases the account becomes a CK Propfirm Qualified Analyst account, still simulated, with no profit target but the same 4% daily and 8% maximum limits carried over, unlimited time, no minimum trading days, and 80% of simulated profit rewards on a flexible cycle. The risk engine is described as real-time with “zero IP or strategy bans”, news trading is marked allowed with no restrictions during the evaluation and “according to applicable rules” once funded, and weekend holds are permitted on both crypto and FX. One inconsistency to note: the objectives page labels the 8% maximum loss “Trailing Lock” while the plan tables give it as a flat 8% max loss, so whether that floor trails the balance needs confirming before buying.

Two commercial details deserve attention. Add-ons are sold on top of the fee and the only one named on the page is a 24-hour payout for an extra 25%, with “+10 more” unlisted — so the advertised 48-hour guarantee is the default and anything faster is a purchase, and ten other paid modifiers exist that are not visible until checkout. And the 80%-off promotion is large enough that the list prices it discounts are the figures to compare against rivals rather than the promotional ones. CK Propfirm does not publish, on the pages read here, the Instant Funding rule table, the payout minimum, the instrument list, or its position on expert advisors and copy trading, although MT5 is offered with EA support and the risk engine is said to ban no strategies.
