Traders Launch’s standard 100K, 200K and 300K futures accounts offer different loss allowances, so the lowest entry fee is only one part of the decision. Compare the fee with the drawdown available to your strategy before choosing a size.
Prop Firm Audit records coupon code COMPARE with a 15% discount for Traders Launch. Check that the code applies to your selected futures account and that the order total shows the saving before paying. The calculations below illustrate that recorded offer; they are not a completed checkout test.
Research checked: September 14, 2026. This guide focuses on purchase cost and account sizing. For the broader program, see our Traders Launch review.
Current standard account inputs
The official site’s standard 80% profit-share selection displays these one-time evaluation fees and limits:
- 100K: $159 fee, $2,000 profit target, $1,000 EOD maximum drawdown, and a starting limit of 2 minis or 20 micros.
- 200K: $299 fee, $4,000 target, $2,000 EOD maximum drawdown, and 4 minis or 40 micros.
- 300K: $599 fee, $6,000 target, $3,000 EOD maximum drawdown, and 6 minis or 60 micros.
The same page separately lists legacy NYC accounts. Those are different configurations and should not be mixed into this comparison. Standard accounts are advertised with no additional fees once funded. These product inputs come from Traders Launch’s official pricing page.
What the 15% offer would save
The calculation is straightforward: listed fee multiplied by 0.85 gives the discounted fee when the full recorded 15% offer applies.
100K calculation
A $159 fee produces a $23.85 saving and a calculated purchase price of $135.15.
200K calculation
A $299 fee produces a $44.85 saving and a calculated purchase price of $254.15.
300K calculation
A $599 fee produces an $89.85 saving and a calculated purchase price of $509.15.
These are arithmetic illustrations using the published standard fees. They exclude any separately disclosed checkout charges and do not establish that a code applies to every configuration, reset or future purchase. If checkout displays another amount, resolve the difference before ordering.
Compare cost per $1,000 of loss allowance
Nominal account size can distract from how much adverse trading the account can actually withstand. One useful purchase metric is:
Discounted purchase cost ÷ initial maximum drawdown × $1,000
Using the inputs above, the calculated cost per $1,000 of initial loss allowance is:
- 100K: $135.15
- 200K: $127.08, rounded from $127.075
- 300K: $169.72, rounded from approximately $169.7167
On this narrow metric, the 200K configuration has the lowest cost. That does not establish that it is the best account for every trader. The target, position size and expected trading behavior also matter.
The move from 100K to 200K adds $1,000 of initial drawdown for a calculated additional fee of $119. Moving from 200K to 300K adds another $1,000 of drawdown for $255 more. The second upgrade therefore costs more per additional dollar of initial loss room.
Evaluate the target alongside the drawdown
For these three configurations, the profit target is twice the initial loss allowance. Expressed relative to nominal size, the target is 2% and the loss allowance is 1%.
That identical relationship means a larger label does not automatically create an easier evaluation. If you double your contract size when moving from 100K to 200K, you may preserve roughly the same exposure relative to drawdown instead of gaining more room for error.
A more useful comparison starts with your existing strategy. Record its typical stop distance, average loss after costs, losing streaks and intraday adverse movement. Then estimate how those results would interact with each account’s actual limits. Do not assume that the largest permitted position is the position you should trade.
A risk-unit illustration
Suppose a trader’s planned loss per trade is $100, including an allowance for execution costs. The initial drawdowns above correspond arithmetically to 10, 20 and 30 such losses.
Those figures are not safe-loss counts. A breach can occur at the boundary, commissions vary, and a moving floor changes the remaining cushion. The illustration simply makes the difference between nominal buying power and usable loss room visible.
How to use COMPARE without mixing account configurations
- Open the official futures purchase flow.
- Select the standard or legacy configuration deliberately.
- Confirm the account size and profit-share selection.
- Enter COMPARE in the coupon field and apply it.
- Check the fee reduction and total charged.
- Save the order summary and rules attached to the purchase.
A cheap legacy option may carry different limits or trading hours. Compare like with like before attributing a lower price to a better discount.
What to record before choosing
Create a short purchase note containing the final fee, target, maximum drawdown, starting contract cap and the rules for the next stage. Keep the platform choice and permitted session hours in the same note.
Then decide how much you are willing to spend across the entire evaluation attempt. A low fee can encourage repeated purchases that exceed the original budget. Treat each new attempt as a separate decision supported by a review of what went wrong previously.
Which size makes sense?
The 100K configuration has the lowest calculated entry cost among the standard plans considered here. The 200K configuration offers the lowest calculated fee per $1,000 of initial drawdown. The 300K configuration provides more absolute loss room but costs more on that normalized measure.
Use those distinctions to narrow the choice, then test it against your trading records. The COMPARE offer can reduce purchase cost when accepted at checkout; it does not increase the account’s loss allowance or reduce its target.
