Two demonstration programmes, side by side
An editorial template. Fictional records only. Not a ranking and not a review of live firms.
The question is not which firm is better. The question is which reviewed rule conflicts with the way you trade, and which fee is inside a budget you actually have.

Two traders, two different outs
A trader who must hold overnight is out of Northline on the reviewed text and only conditionally inside Atlas on the weekend, while overnight itself is allowed. A trader with a USD 600 ceiling is inside Northline’s initial fee and outside Atlas. A trader who needs news is outside Atlas and only inside Northline’s two-minute window if they can live with that window. None of these results uses a score. They are conflicts and unknowns.
The 200k nominal balance is not ‘twice the opportunity’. It is a larger set of rules and a larger fee. Atlas also trails. A static 10% floor and an end-of-day 8% trail are not the same room. Read the drawdown guide before you treat the larger title as the looser account.
