FidelcrestOfficial Fidelcrest pages conflict on several details: the current homepage lists 60-day phases with no minimum trading days, while FAQ answers describe 30-day periods and a free second attempt if the first target is missed. The homepage also advertises the fee as refunded with the first payout, while an older FAQ answer says the fee is not refundable. TradeTheDay recorded the current homepage as the operative product statement and flagged the conflicts.

Consistency rule details vary by account type and have not been fully catalogued.
An evaluation. Usually in a simulated environment.
You pay for access to a rules-based evaluation. Passing may lead to a simulated funded account, a live route, or both, depending on the firm and your country.
The headline account balance is not cash placed in your name. Your practical risk is the fee, the drawdown floor and the conditions attached to any reward.
