Which way in costs least?
For the size you pick: each program at its list price, and how many evaluation attempts cost less than one Zero account of the same size. No pass rate is assumed.
At $100K: each way in at its list price, against one Zero account ($1,149).

- Nova's start fee is $7 at every size; its activation fee, $69 to $1,099, follows only if you pass.
- No pass rate is assumed: the months are how many you could pay before one Zero costs less, not how long passing takes.

Orion Funded consistency rule, worked out
Only Zero and Nova have a consistency rule, the Best Day Rule on the funded account; the other three programs have none.
Largest profitable day ÷ net profit (since your last payout request, or during the evaluation), capped by each plan. “Under” means the day must stay below the cap; “at most” means it may equal it.
Check your own days in the consistency calculator · Plan your risk on this account in the risk planner
Worked example
- Only Zero and Nova apply a Best Day Rule, and only on the funded account: your best profit day may not exceed 20% of the profit in the reward cycle, so at least 5 profitable days are needed. Standard, Swing and Select have none.

- Trade copiers
- Not published. The forbidden-practices list bars coordinated trades across connected accounts for manipulative purposes and does not name copiers. The Terms and Conditions PDF, which could not be captured, permit copying between accounts owned by the same person and prohibit external copy-trading services.
- Platforms
- MT5 or MatchTrader, chosen when you order.
- Commissions
- $4 per lot on forex, metals and commodities; none on indices, stocks or crypto. Orion may change commissions or leverage with prior notice.
- Swaps
- Swap-free accounts are not offered as a standard option, and overnight swaps count toward the daily loss limit.
Help: Are swap-free accounts available? (official page, opens in a new tab)
- Forbidden practices
- Exploiting platform errors or delayed feeds, coordinated or opposing trades across accounts, gap trading around news or market closes, trades that cannot be replicated on a live account, circumventing the Best Day Rule and sharing account access. A breach can remove trades, disqualify an evaluation or forfeit pending rewards. The help center says any strategy not on its list is allowed; the Terms and Conditions PDF, which could not be captured, prohibit more, among them martingale, grid trading and hedging across accounts.

Refunds, limits and accounts 8
- Refund
- The plan cards of Zero, Standard, Swing and Select say '100% Refund' and state no condition.

- Late rewards
- If an approved reward is not processed within 48 hours you can claim 100% of that cycle's reward plus your program fee, but you must contact Orion, and weekends, holidays, payment delays and compliance reviews pause the 48 hours.
Help: What if my reward hasn't arrived? (official page, opens in a new tab)
- How rewards are paid

Traps and contradictions
From Orion Funded's own pages. The watch-outs follow the program you picked. Where two official pages say different things, both are shown: check with Orion Funded before you buy.
Watch out: Zero 5
- Trailing lock
The floor of the 6% drawdown follows your balance up and locks at the starting balance only once your first payout is approved. The program page calls it an absolute drawdown on the initial balance.

- 3% cushion
The first 3% of profit cannot be requested; it is a buffer above the starting balance.

- Best Day Rule
You cannot request a reward until your best profit day is at most 20% of the cycle's profit, which takes at least 5 profitable days.

- News window
A trade opened or closed within 5 minutes of a high-impact event earns a 50% split instead of 80%. Using news trading as a strategy is prohibited on every program, even where no news window applies.

How does Orion Nova's Pay After You Pass plan work?

The activation fee, $69 to $1,099 by size, is due only once you pass. The pages do not say whether the start fee is credited against it, and only the Terms and Conditions PDF, which could not be captured, give a deadline for paying it: thirty days.

What are the Orion Funded payout rules?
Every funded account pays 80% of simulated profit, rising to 90% after the Scaling Plan, on a bi-weekly cycle: a request window every 14 days, with no waiting period before the first request. Zero and Nova also keep the first 3% of profit as a cushion and apply a Best Day Rule of 20%. No maximum or minimum payout is published.

Does Orion Funded have a consistency rule?
Only Zero and Nova have one, the Best Day Rule, and only on the funded account: your best profit day may not exceed 20% of the profit in the reward cycle. Standard, Swing and Select have no consistency rule to pass or on payouts.
Help: What is the Best Day Rule? (official page, opens in a new tab)
Is the Orion Funded fee refundable?
Not unconditionally. The help center returns the program fee in full on your fourth successful withdrawal, refunds it to a consumer who withdraws within 14 days of purchase before a first trade, and adds it to a reward you claim when an approved reward is more than 48 hours late. The cards' '100% Refund' label states none of these, and two articles word the fourth-withdrawal trigger differently.

Can you reset an Orion Funded evaluation?
Not automatically. A failed evaluation gets no free retry: you place a new order, at any time. The help center points to orionfunded.com for any reset option, and no reset fee is published. An account with no trade for 30 consecutive days expires.

Are Orion Funded accounts real or simulated?
Simulated: every account is a demo account with fictitious funds on real market data, and rewards are paid in real money when you qualify. Passing an evaluation makes you a candidate for the Orion Trader Program, and a third-party entity decides whether to offer a contract.
