Traders Launch COMPARE 15%: 55% vs 80% Profit-Split Break-Even
Traders Launch lets futures traders choose a 55% or 80% profit split when configuring an evaluation. The higher share may have a higher purchase price, so the useful question is: how much funded profit must be earned before the extra 25 percentage points repay the higher entry cost?
This guide uses the Traders Launch coupon code COMPARE for 15% off eligible futures evaluations, exactly as recorded on Compare Futures Prop. The offer was verified onsite on September 1, 2026, and the current program structure was checked against Traders Launch’s official pricing, FAQ, rules, and payout pages.
Verify COMPARE Before Doing the Math
The visible Traders Launch record currently lists:
- Coupon code: COMPARE
- Offer: 15% off eligible Traders Launch futures evaluations
- Eligible product must be confirmed at checkout
- Final price depends on account size, session, and profit-split selection
Enter COMPARE and confirm that the order total falls by 15% before payment. If either configuration is ineligible, compare the actual displayed totals rather than assuming the same reduction.
Why the Split Creates a Break-Even Point
At a 55% split, the trader keeps $0.55 of each eligible dollar of simulated funded profit. At an 80% split, the trader keeps $0.80.
The advantage of the higher split is therefore:
80% − 55% = 25% of eligible gross profit
If the 80% evaluation costs more, divide that extra post-code cost by 0.25:
break-even gross profit = post-code price difference ÷ 0.25
Because dividing by 0.25 equals multiplying by four, every extra $1 paid for the higher split requires $4 of eligible gross profit to recover.
Apply COMPARE to the Price Difference
When both evaluations receive 15% off, the difference also falls by 15%.
Use:
post-code difference = pre-code difference × 0.85
Then:
gross-profit break-even = pre-code difference × 0.85 ÷ 0.25
This simplifies to:
pre-code difference × 3.4
If the 80% version is $40 more before the code:
- Post-code difference: $40 × 0.85 = $34
- Break-even gross profit: $34 ÷ 0.25 = $136
Above $136 of eligible gross profit, the extra 25-point share would have produced more additional trader proceeds than the $34 higher entry cost. This is an illustration, not a claim that the live checkout difference is $40.
A Checkout Worksheet Without Guessing Prices
Traders Launch’s configuration controls are dynamic, so record the two current totals for the same account size and session.
- Select the 55% split.
- Enter COMPARE.
- Record the reduced total as Price 55.
- Keep account size and session unchanged.
- Select the 80% split.
- Enter COMPARE again if needed.
- Record the reduced total as Price 80.
- Calculate Price 80 − Price 55.
- Divide the result by 0.25.
Example using checkout values of $85 and $119:
- Difference: $119 − $85 = $34
- Gross-profit break-even: $34 ÷ 0.25 = $136
- At $500 gross eligible profit, the 80% share adds $125 versus the 55% share.
- After subtracting the $34 higher price, the higher-share route is ahead by $91.
Again, use actual checkout values for the selected configuration.
Current Official Pricing Context
Traders Launch’s official site checked September 1, 2026 offers NYC Session and 22-Hour Session choices with 55% or 80% splits.
The site currently displays these 22-Hour, 80% examples:
- 100K: $159 one-time fee.
- 200K: $299 one-time fee.
- 300K: $599 one-time fee.
The same page says futures evaluations begin at $49, while the exact total changes with session, size, and share. These are official price references, not substitutes for the paired checkout comparison needed for break-even.
The 1% Payout Buffer Comes First
A split comparison matters only after payout eligibility.
Current official rules state that a SimFunded account must be above 1% profit before a payout becomes eligible. That means:
- 100K account: more than $1,000 above starting balance.
- 200K account: more than $2,000 above starting balance.
- 300K account: more than $3,000 above starting balance.
The firm currently publishes daily eligible payout requests, same-day processing, no funded consistency rule, no activation fee, and no per-request payout cap. Verification and compliance still apply.
For most configurations, the split break-even calculated from the fee difference may be lower than the gross profit required to clear the 1% buffer. If so, the 80% option would already have passed its fee break-even by the time the first request becomes eligible—provided the trader successfully passes and reaches the buffer.
Account Rules Do Not Change With the Formula
Both price choices remain subject to the evaluation:
- One step with no Phase 2.
- Three minimum trading days.
- Sixty-day maximum evaluation period.
- At least one trade per week.
- 40% best-day consistency during the evaluation.
- EOD trailing drawdown that locks at starting balance.
- No separate daily loss limit under the current Futures rules.
The published 100K, 200K, and 300K examples use a 2% target and 1% EOD maximum loss. A lower evaluation price has no value if the strategy cannot stay within that narrow usable risk.
When 55% Can Be Rational
The 55% option may be reasonable when:
- Minimizing upfront cost is the priority.
- The trader is uncertain about passing.
- Expected eligible profit is low.
- The price difference produces a break-even above the trader’s realistic payout.
- The account is being used to test the firm’s execution and rules.
A smaller initial fee reduces the dollars lost if the evaluation fails.
When 80% Can Be Rational
The 80% option may be reasonable when:
- The checkout premium is modest.
- Expected eligible profit is comfortably above the break-even point.
- The trader has a tested process for the 40% evaluation rule.
- The trader expects multiple payouts.
- The higher upfront price fits the risk budget.
Because the share advantage applies to each eligible payout, the 80% route becomes more favorable as cumulative profit grows.
Include the Probability of Passing
A pure break-even formula assumes the account reaches funded payouts. A better expected-cost calculation includes pass probability.
If the higher-share account costs $34 more after COMPARE and the trader estimates a 25% chance of reaching a payout, the effective premium per successful account is much larger across repeated attempts.
Do not inflate confidence to justify a larger purchase. Use personal evaluation history, not a marketing example.
