Mockapital Triples the MockExpress Clock to 90 Days Per Phase, and Its Own FAQ Still Says 30
Mockapital told its list on 12 October 2026 that MockExpress, its cheapest two-step evaluation, now gives traders 90 days per phase instead of 30, and the firm’s own pricing tables confirm it: every MockExpress size on mockapital.com now reads “Max time 90 Days” for both phases. The change is real and it is live. The firm’s own Rules and FAQs page, read the same day, still says MockExpress carries a “Time Limit: 30 days per phase”. Two pages on the same site now give different answers to the most consequential question a timed challenge has, and a trader who reads the wrong one plans the wrong campaign. That is the part worth your attention, and it sits on top of a change that quietly redefines what MockExpress is for.
What Changed, and Where It Is Confirmed
The mailing is short and unambiguous. It says MockExpress now has 90 days per phase instead of 30, calls that three times more time to reach the profit targets, and frames it as flexibility without the previous 30-day pressure. Nothing else is described as changing.
JoinProp checked that against the firm’s own public funding programs page rather than taking the email at face value, and it holds at every account size. The MockExpress tab now shows a 90-day cap on Phase 1 and a 90-day cap on Phase 2 for the 5K, 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K and 200K accounts alike, with the funded account itself carrying no cap. Nothing else in the MockExpress column moved. Phase 1 still asks for 10 per cent, Phase 2 still asks for 5 per cent, the overall drawdown is still 10 per cent, the daily drawdown is still 4 per cent, leverage is still up to 1:50, the minimum is still three trading days per phase, the split is still 80 per cent and payouts still run on a 30-day cycle. The prices are unchanged too: $50 at 5K, $75 at 10K, $150 at 25K, $225 at 50K and $400 at 100K.
Two small errors on that page are worth knowing before you shop from it. One MockExpress table carries Phase 1 and Phase 2 targets of $20,000 and $10,000, which are the 200K figures, under a button reading “Start Challenge with $100k”. The 100K table prints the funded account drawdown as 10 per cent of $1,000 rather than $10,000. Both look like typing errors rather than terms, but neither has been corrected, so read the percentages rather than the dollar figures and confirm the size at checkout.
The FAQ Still Says 30 Days, and That Is Not a Small Thing
Under the heading “MockExpress (Fast Track 2-Step Challenge)”, the firm’s Rules and FAQs page lists the trading conditions as a 4 per cent daily drawdown, a 10 per cent overall drawdown, leverage up to 1:50, a minimum of three trading days and a “Time Limit: 30 days per phase”. Every other figure in that list matches the pricing table. The time limit does not.
Mockapital has published no note saying the FAQ is out of date, and the FAQ is the page a trader is told to read: the site’s own navigation calls it Rules and FAQs. On the same page, the entry promising a MockRace versus MockExpress comparison renders as a broken shortcode rather than a table, so the one place a buyer would go to tell the two apart shows nothing. Our reading, labelled as ours, is that the tables were updated and the FAQ was missed. We have no statement from the firm. Until one exists, the safe assumption for anyone already inside a MockExpress phase is the shorter number, because the document you would cite in a dispute is the one the firm points you to, and right now it says 30. If you are mid-challenge, ask support in writing which limit applies to your account and keep the reply.
Tripling the Clock Removes the Only Thing That Made It Express
Set the four Mockapital programs side by side on the firm’s own page and the logic of the old MockExpress is obvious. MockInstant, MockSprint and MockRace all read “Max time: No Limit”. MockExpress was the only product with a clock, and the clock was the trade: 30 days a phase and a harder first target in exchange for the firm’s lowest two-step price.
That price gap is real and it survives the change. MockRace, the firm’s other two-step, costs $60 at 5K against MockExpress at $50, $100 against $75 at 10K, $175 against $150 at 25K, $300 against $225 at 50K and $500 against $400 at 100K. What you pay for the discount is a Phase 1 target of 10 per cent rather than MockRace’s 8 per cent, and a daily drawdown of 4 per cent rather than 5 per cent. So MockExpress has always been the cheaper, harder route.
With 90 days a phase, the clock stops being the constraint for most strategies. A trader who needs 10 per cent and has three months to find it is not meaningfully time-boxed, which means MockExpress is no longer a fast-track product in any sense a trader would recognise. It is now the cheapest two-step Mockapital sells, with a tougher target and a tighter daily loss limit, and a time limit long enough that most people will never touch it. That is a better product for the buyer and a worse name for it. The site still sells it as the faster-paced route, which is now the one thing it is not.
One rule does cut against the extra room, and it is on the FAQ page rather than the pricing table: an account that sits inactive for 30 days is hard breached and permanently disabled. The 90-day window is therefore not 90 days of freedom. It is 90 days in which no gap of 30 days without trading is allowed, which matters for anyone who was planning to sit out a bad stretch of conditions. The firm also allows copy trading only between a trader’s own Mockapital accounts, and says accounts managed from the same IP address are flagged for review. Those are the kind of quiet terms that decide outcomes, and they are the reason our prop firm survival rates work keeps coming back to the rules nobody advertises.
A Promoted Price That Is Higher Than the List Price
Three codes were running on the mockapital.com banner on 13 October 2026: MOCK15 for 15 per cent off for existing customers, WELCOME for 10 per cent off for new customers, and MOCK2026 advertising a “50K 2-Step Challenge for Just $240”. That last one is worth a sentence, because the firm’s own table lists the MockExpress 50K, which is a two-step, at $225 with no code at all. The promoted price is $15 higher than an undiscounted price on the same site. The most likely explanation is that MOCK2026 is aimed at MockRace, the $300 two-step, where $240 is a genuine 20 per cent saving. The banner does not say which product it applies to, and no closing date is published for any of the three codes. Before entering any of them, check which program the discount attaches to and compare the result against the plain MockExpress price.
The firm’s published scaling requirements are worth reading before buying rather than after: a minimum cycle of four months, at least 10 per cent total net simulated profit, at least two completed reward cycles, a positive balance at scale-up, and a 25 per cent increase once all four are met. MockExpress supports cTrader, MatchTrader and DXtrade, the minimum payout is $100 and payouts run every 30 days. This is Mockapital’s first appearance in Prop News and there is no Mockapital review page on JoinProp yet, so none of the above has been through our full trust index process.
What This Means for the Broader Prop Industry
Phase time limits are quietly disappearing across this industry, and MockExpress going from 30 days to 90 is a late move rather than an early one. Firms worked out that a calendar cap mostly produces failed challenges and refund arguments without reducing their real risk, since the drawdown limit protects them, not the clock. Stretching the cap costs almost nothing and converts better, which is why the no-time-limit badge is now standard across the programs in our challenge comparison. The direction is good for traders, and it is driven by conversion rather than generosity.
The documentation problem is the one that does not improve on its own. A firm that changes a rule in a pricing table and leaves the old figure in its own FAQ has created two conflicting sources of truth, and in a dispute the trader is the one holding the weaker copy. Rule changes in this business are usually announced by email, applied in the product and reflected in the terms last, if at all, which is the pattern our retroactive rule change playbook was written for. This change moves in the trader’s favour, so the stakes are low. The habit is the thing to watch, because the next change a firm forgets to document may not be a generous one. Screenshot the rules page the day you buy, dated, and keep it. It is the only version of the terms you will control.
