There are a few reasons.

First and foremost, the fee covers various operating expenses for GFN — including technology platforms, personnel, customer service functions, marketing and all the healthy expenditures that make a company strong.

In addition, the fee ensures that the trader is committed to the process and committed to successful, disciplined trading practices. When a trader has skin in the game, so to speak, they are incentivized to treat their account responsibly and with the utmost care. After all, the fee is but a small token of commitment rewarded with hundreds of thousands of dollars in real capital to trade. The best part of this arrangement for traders is that it is the only capital they risk. Traders cannot lose more than this fee, as losses on a live funded account are covered by GFN.

The GFN Evaluation fee serves as a filter for serious traders. The GFN community only works when it is comprised of experienced traders that can consistently generate a profit. With limited resources, the GFN Evaluation process reveals those who are committed and responsible traders.

At the end of the day, the GFN program is an extremely valuable service — a win-win for everyone — and the service is accurately priced to support a symbiotic relationship.
