What this means for you
The Gauntlet Mini costs from $170 a month (50K). Make $3,000 without losing $1,100 in a day or falling below a $2,000 end-of-day drawdown, and no single day can be more than 30% of your profit. Funded, you keep 50% of the first $2,250 and 80% above that, paid weekly.
Built only from rules we verified at the source. Most people who buy a test don't pass (see why).

|---|---|
| Account sizesAccount sizes on offer. | $50K, $100K, $150K, $200K ✓ Verified |
| PriceWhat you pay for the test. | GAU50 from $170/month ✓ Verified What's this?What you pay to take the test. It's the firm's main revenue, since most buyers never pass. Glossary → |
