6 risk rules identical · half the target · no shared size
Fidelcrest Pro Trader vs Micro Trader
Most comparisons on this site weigh a looser cap against a higher target. This one has nothing to weigh. Every rule that can end an attempt is identical on the two plans, and Micro Trader asks half the profit.
So the difficulty question has one answer. What makes the comparison worth writing is the second finding: the two ladders never sell the same account size, so the easier product simply stops at $15K and the harder one starts at $25K.
| Rule | Pro Trader | Micro Trader |
|---|---|---|
| Profit target | 10% + 10% | 5% + 5% |
| Daily loss limit | 5% | 5% |
| Overall drawdown | 10% | 10% |
| Drawdown type | trails on closed trades | trails on closed trades |
| Minimum trading days | 10 | 10 |
| Time limit | 30 days | 30 days |
| Profit split | 80% | 80% |
| Losing trades before the attempt ends | 5 | 5 |
| Account sizes | $25K, $50K, $100K, $250K | $5K, $10K, $15K |
Only the shaded row differs. Every other rule matches to the figure, which is unusual enough on this site to be the finding rather than the setup.
Why there is no price table on this page
Micro Trader sells $5K, $10K and $15K. Pro Trader starts at $25K. The ladders do not share a single account size, so there is no rung on which the two can be priced against each other — any figure that looked like a comparison would be comparing different products.
For reference rather than comparison: Micro runs €49 to €99 across its three sizes, Pro €149 to €999 across its four. The build fails if the ladders ever meet, because then this section is wrong.
One cap, two definitions, both published
Trailing per the rules page: "Current Equity / Highest Recorded Balance x 100% = must be over 95% at all times". The general terms word the same cap against INITIAL capital, which would make it static. The firm publishes both; this records what the rules page says.
It applies to both plans equally, so it changes nothing between them — but it changes what either one is. A cap measured against the highest balance reached takes your profit into its calculation; the same cap measured against the opening balance does not. Those are different products wearing one number, and the firm publishes both wordings.
What the size band is really deciding
Everywhere else on this site, choosing the harder programme buys something: a bigger split, a looser cap, a refunded fee. Here it buys access to an account above $15K, and that is the whole of it. A trader who wants $25K cannot take the easier route, because the easier route does not go there.
Which is worth saying plainly, because the two plans are presented as a tier ladder — as though Pro were the serious version and Micro the starter. On the rules, Micro is the same product asking half as much.

Questions
- What is the difference between Fidelcrest Pro Trader and Micro Trader?
- The profit target and the account size, and nothing else that matters. 6 risk rules match exactly: daily loss limit at 5%, overall drawdown at 10%, drawdown type at trails on closed trades, minimum trading days at 10, time limit at 30 days and profit split at 80%. Micro asks 5% per phase where Pro asks 10%.
- Which Fidelcrest plan is easier to pass?
- Micro Trader, unambiguously. It carries the same caps and asks half the profit, so at 1% risk per trade both end after 5 losing trades while Micro needs half the gain to finish. There is no rule on which Pro is the softer product.
- Can you compare the prices of Pro Trader and Micro Trader?
- Not like for like. Micro Trader sells $5K, $10K and $15K and Pro Trader starts at $25K — the ladders do not share a single account size, so every price comparison between them is across different products. Micro's fees run €49 to €99, Pro's €149 to €999.
