Check drawdown before discounts
Gold can move quickly around macro news. Compare daily drawdown, total drawdown, and whether limits are balance-based or equity-based before comparing coupon codes.
Review news and weekend rules
Some traders hold metals through high-impact releases. If that is part of the plan, confirm the rule directly with the firm before purchasing a challenge.
Look for platform fit
MT5, cTrader, MatchTrader, and TradeLocker can behave differently for execution, symbols, and commissions. Pick the firm whose platform matches your tested strategy.
