The5ers takes 3.5% per withdrawal; FTMO adds no fee but sets $20/$50 minimums. Five firms' payout pages in one table, with minimums from $20 to $1,000.

A limited-time 50K futures plan that keeps end-of-day drawdown after the evaluation — the one concession futures challenge buyers actually ask for. It is paid for in contract size, two extra minimum days and a consistency rule tightened from the standard Rapid's 50 percent to 30.
