[Experience Report] The Full Record of My Funded7 ¥2M Account | A ¥10,530 Fee (Refunded) Turned Into ¥1.15M in Payouts, Then 'Graduation' [September 2026]
This is the record the site owner kept, from starting an evaluation on a Funded7 2-phase ¥2M account in March 2026 with a ¥10,530 fee (half-off coupon, later refunded), through the account's closure in September. Covers how many days it took to pass Phase 1 and 2, the P&L on the two funded accounts, the dates and amounts of all 12 payouts, and the final settlement. The story of choosing the smallest account size on the assumption that "you can only get about ¥1M out of any single firm" -- and ending up ahead of that estimate -- plus why you should operate on the assumption that a prop account will eventually end.
Moneta 2-Step: Should You Pick 4%/8% or 5%/10%? | What a 44% Price Gap Actually Buys You, Tested Across 40,000 Runs
Moneta Funded's 2-Step challenge gives you a choice of two drawdown configurations at purchase. 4% daily / 8% max costs $660 for a $100K account; 5% daily / 10% max costs $950 — a 44% price gap. I tested what that gap actually buys with 40,000 Monte Carlo runs. The failure rate drops by up to 12 points and the funded-reach rate goes up. But in absolute terms 5%/10% always wins, and in capital efficiency 4%/8% always wins — the ranking never flips regardless of skill level. Also covers the easily-missed difference in the same-instrument floating-loss trigger (2% vs. 3%). Prices were measured across all sizes at checkout on September 12, 2026.
