Pricing, Fees & Purchasing
Find out about Evaluation Pricing, Fees as well as how to Purchase an Evaluation.
Evaluation Pricing
When you purchase an evaluation, you are paying a one-time price to access a simulated trading account.
Each evaluation tier provides a user with $100,000 in simulated capital. The higher the tier, the larger the trading credit you're eligible to win, provided you are also eligible and have signed up for Rails.

($1,250 buying power at 5x leverage)
Mastery

($2,500 buying power at 5x leverage)
The price is the cost for purchasing an evaluation and not a deposit. Simulated capital is not real money. It is a notional balance used to test your trading performance under the evaluation rules.
Evaluation Trading Fees
Fees are applied to each trade to simulate a regular trading environment, and impact your account equity. Trading fees are 0.04% per side (either opening or closing), and calculated using the notional size of the position.
A full breakdown of your fees paid within any Rails Play Evaluation can be found in the My Account page.

Use tokens from your wallet
Once you've selected Buy Evaluation, you'll be taken to the Glide payment modal:
Select Wallet.
Glide may recognize any available wallet extensions you have (if so, skip to step 3), or will allow you to connect to your wallet using a QR code. You can switch wallets by disconnecting any wallets that are recognized, and using Wallet Connect instead:
Once Glide is connected to your wallet, you'll be shown any available tokens you can use to pay with.
Select the token you want to pay with.
You'll be taken to a final review screen to confirm your payment. Click Pay now.
Approve the transaction in your wallet when prompted.
Once payment has been processed, you will be directed to the Evaluation page where you can begin your evaluation.
If your payment is successful but your evaluation doesn't open right away, try refreshing your page and waiting approximately 60 seconds. Do not make an additional payment.
Transfer your tokens from anywhere
Using Glide's "transfer from anywhere", you can send a payment from any wallet on a supported blockchain.
Choose Transfer from anywhere.
Select your preferred chain.
Choose the token you want to use from the list.
Use the drop-down to see more tokens that can be transferred through Glide.
You'll be provided with a unique contract address and QR code to help you make your transfer. Follow the instructions in your wallet, make the transfer and then click Payment Complete.
Note: if you send your payment to the wrong payment address, we are not liable for any misplaced funds. Please ensure you double-check all information before proceeding.
