The number that asks more, and gets passed more
Fidelcrest’s Aggressive asks 3× the profit and is the safer buy
On Micro Trader, Normal asks 10% profit and Aggressive asks 30%. The one asking three times as much fails 19% of the time against 63% for the modest one, at 1% risk per trade.
Because Aggressive doubles the loss caps as well as the target, and the caps are what end an attempt. On Pro Trader the two compute to an identical difficulty ratio of 2.00 and land 63 points apart — the clearest case on this site of that ratio missing the thing that decides it.
All four, side by side
| Programme | Target | Daily | Overall | Ratio | Losses | Split | From | Fails |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro Trader — Normal | 10% | 5% | 10% | 1.00 | 5 | 80% | €49 | 63% |
| Micro Trader — Aggressive | 30% | 10% | 20% | 1.50 | 10 | 90% | €89 | 19% |
| Pro Trader — Normal | 20% | 5% | 10% | 2.00 | 5 | 80% | €149 | 87% |
| Pro Trader — Aggressive | 40% | 10% | 20% | 2.00 | 10 | 90% | €249 | 25% |
At 1% risk per trade, a 40% win rate and 2R winners. “Losses” is how many in a row end the attempt. “From” is the cheapest account each is sold at. Every programme here carries the same 30-day limit and the same trailing drawdown.

Why doubling both sides is not neutral
The difficulty ratio divides what you must make by what you may lose. Double both and it does not move — which is exactly right as a description of ambition and exactly wrong as a prediction of survival.
What ends an attempt is a run of losses fitting inside a cap. Double the cap at a fixed risk per trade and you double the run you can absorb, from 5 to 10 here. The chance of a losing run reaching a given length falls away exponentially in that length, so doubling the room does not halve the risk — it collapses it.
The doubled profit target costs you nothing in this arithmetic, because a target you have not reached yet does not end anything. It costs you time, and that is the next section.
What the odds above leave out: 30 days
Every Fidelcrest programme expires after 30 days, and the figures above do not use that field — they count losing streaks, not calendars. Asking more profit in an unchanged window means more trades, and this is where Aggressive gives the money back.
| Programme | Trades the target needs | Per day, inside the limit |
|---|---|---|
| Micro Trader — Normal | 50 | 1.7 |
| Micro Trader — Aggressive | 150 | 5.0 |
| Pro Trader — Normal | 100 | 3.3 |
| Pro Trader — Aggressive | 200 | 6.7 |
At a 40% win rate with 2R winners the average trade returns 0.2R, so a 30% target at 1% risk needs about 150 trades. Aggressive is safer per trade and busier per day. If you cannot hold that pace, its better odds are a figure you will never collect — and the 30-day clock, not a losing streak, is what ends the attempt.
What this does not measure
- · The 30-day limit, as above. It is the single largest thing missing from the failure figures, and it works against Aggressive.
- · The minimum trading days: 10 on most of these, and 5 on Micro Trader — Aggressive.
- · Assumes each trade is independent. Correlated positions — three majors against the dollar — lose together and count as one.
- · Assumes every trade risks the same amount. Raising size after a loss shortens the streak you can survive.
- · Uses your stated win rate. If that came from a demo account or a good month, the figure below is optimistic.
- · Whether the fee comes back on passing. Fidelcrest advertises a refund with the first payout and its own refund policy, general terms and knowledge base say otherwise, so this data records no refund at all — the firm page sets out all four documents.
- · Whether Fidelcrest pays. No published rule answers that, and nothing here should be read as saying it will.
On the numbers above
Fidelcrest — Micro Trader — Aggressive
It comes out ahead on the chance a losing streak ends the attempt, at 1% risk per trade, at 19% — 6 percentage points clear of Fidelcrest's Pro Trader — Aggressive, the next best.
This is computed from the published rules, not chosen. Whichever programme wins that calculation appears here, including firms we earn nothing from, and it changes when the rules do. It says nothing about the 30-day limit, the pace the target demands, or whether the firm pays.
Questions
- What is the difference between Fidelcrest Normal and Aggressive?
- Aggressive doubles both halves at once. On Micro Trader the profit target goes from 10% to 30%, and the daily loss cap goes from 5% to 10% with the overall cap from 10% to 20%. The published profit split rises too, from 80% to 90%. Everything else — the 30-day limit, the trailing drawdown, the two phases — is the same.
- Which is easier to pass, Normal or Aggressive?
- Aggressive, and by a wide margin on every pair Fidelcrest sells. At 1% risk per trade with a 40% win rate at 2R, the doubled caps mean 10 consecutive losses end the attempt instead of 5, and the chance of a losing streak reaching that length falls away exponentially rather than linearly. On Pro Trader it is 25% against 87%. The larger profit target does not offset it, because the target does not end your attempt — the caps do.
- Then why would anyone buy Normal?
- The time limit, which the figures above deliberately do not model. Every Fidelcrest programme expires after 30 days, and asking 3× the profit inside an unchanged window means roughly 3× the trades. On Micro Trader, this model expects about 50 trades to reach the Normal target and 150 to reach the Aggressive one — 1.7 and 5.0 a day. Aggressive is safer per trade and busier per day, and if you cannot trade at that pace the safety is theoretical.
- Does the difficulty ratio pick this up?
- On Pro Trader, not at all — that is why this page exists. Both compute to 2.00, because the ratio divides the profit target by the drawdown allowance and Aggressive doubles both, so they cancel. The arithmetic that actually decides an attempt sees only the caps: how many full-risk losses fit inside them before you are out. The ratio is a good first number and this is the shape it cannot see.
- Is Fidelcrest Aggressive the easiest challenge you have found?
- On this measure Micro Trader — Aggressive is the softest of every evaluation whose rules we have read, at 19%. That is a narrow claim: it counts losing streaks against published caps at a fixed risk per trade, and it ignores the 30-day limit, the 5 minimum trading days, and everything about whether the firm pays what it owes.
