What does Activation fee mean?
An activation fee is a separate charge required to open the next account stage after an evaluation. It is distinct from the entry fee and from paying to reset a failed challenge.
Example
A trader passes an evaluation but must pay a separate activation charge before receiving the next account.
Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.Why it matters for prop traders
Compare the combined evaluation and activation costs, and check the deadline and account type before paying.
