- Activation
- No source we hold publishes an activation fee. A blank is not a $0 — budget for one until checkout proves otherwise.
- Daily loss
- No source we hold states a daily loss limit, or that there is none. A blank row is not the absence of a cap.
- Consistency
- No consistency figure is on file for this route. That is a gap in our record, not evidence the firm has no rule — consistency rules are often added at the funded stage, so confirm it in the firm’s own terms before you rely on it.
