One-time fees explained — no subscriptions, no recurring charges

A Quartz/24 account is a one-time purchase. There is no subscription, and we do not bill the program fee again on a schedule. The price you see before you pay is the price of that account.

That fee is not a deposit, and it is not trading capital. Evaluation accounts and funded-stage accounts are simulated trading environments. You never deposit your own money, and you never trade your own capital. What you are buying is the program: a QuartzEdge™ evaluation, or a QuartzSurge™ review of a record you already have. When a payout is earned, Quartz/24 pays it from performance in that simulated environment.

QuartzEdge™ is the evaluation. You choose the account size that fits your plan, trade the published rules, and pass on evidence as fast as your stats allow. QuartzSurge™ is the Verified Track: you submit verified broker statements and skip the evaluation entirely. Both are one-time fees. The price for each size is published in Account sizes and pricing.

Passing does not open a second bill. There is no activation fee on the simulated funded account, and we never condition a payout on a further payment. A reset, if you choose one, is its own purchase. It is not a subscription, and it is not required while you are still inside the rules. What a reset costs, and when one makes sense, is covered in Resets.

The program fee is at risk. Trading involves substantial risk of loss, including loss of that fee. Our objective is not to collect evaluation fees forever. It is to identify traders who can build a verified record. Before you buy, read Account sizes and pricing, the Account Rules for the size you intend to trade, and the refund policy.
