What Our Retake Actually Costs You
Losing $99–$600 on a failed evaluation is the #1 reason traders quit prop firms. Not because they can't trade — because they run out of money to try again. Here's exactly what our included retake costs you, stated before you buy rather than discovered after you pass.
The Problem With Traditional Prop Firm Evaluations
Here's how most prop firms work: you pay $49 to $800 for an evaluation. You try to pass. If you don't — you pay again. And again. And again. FTMO charges $155–$1,080 per attempt depending on account size. Funded Next, E8 Funding, Alpha Capital Group — same story. Every failed attempt is a new bill.
The average trader needs 2–4 attempts before passing an evaluation. At traditional pricing, that means the real cost of getting funded isn't $99 — it's $200 to $400. For large account sizes, it can easily reach $1,000–$2,500 before you ever see a payout.
Worse, this financial pressure changes how people trade. When every failed reset costs real money, traders start making decisions based on fear of loss rather than trading discipline. They over-trade to recoup costs. They hold losing positions too long. The evaluation structure itself creates the exact behavior that causes failures.

How OA Funded's Retake Works
On OA Funded Flex and Flex Pro accounts, you pay $10 once. That's it. If you breach your drawdown limit or don't hit your profit target, your account can be retaken once at no additional purchase. The retake continues at a 60% profit split instead of 80%, so it is not free — but you do not pay for the challenge again.

Why Most Prop Firms Won't Include a Retake
The honest answer: evaluation fees are a significant revenue stream for most prop firms. When a firm like FTMO charges $155–$1,080 per attempt, or Funded Next charges $7–$99, and both know most traders need multiple tries, the math is very profitable for them.
An included retake only makes business sense if you're confident in your model's long-term profitability — and if you're genuinely focused on getting traders to a funded account, not maximizing failed evaluation revenue.
OA Funded built the retake into the product from day one. The goal was simple: remove the financial barrier that stops traders from developing their strategy and getting funded. A trader who passes with confidence is a better long-term client than a trader who scraped through — or quit trying.
