View All Live Deals Free iOS AppWhen 50% Off Actually Happens
50%+ discounts are rare. They don't happen randomly—they're tied to specific seasonal windows. Knowing when to look (and wait) saves hundreds per year.
The Big Sale Windows
1. Black Friday & Cyber Monday (November)
When: Friday after Thanksgiving through Monday (US timing, affects global firms)
Typical Discount: 40–50% off
Firms Most Aggressive: Apex (50%+), Funded Trading Plus (40%), E8 Funding (30–40%)
Why: Biggest shopping season. Firms can afford deep discounts because volume spikes 3–5x.
Example Deal: FTMO $249 challenge → $125 (50% off). You save $125 per challenge. If you buy 3 accounts, you save $375.
2. Cyber Week Extension (Late November)
When: Nov 25–Dec 2 (extends Black Friday deals)
Typical Discount: 30–45% off (slightly lower than BF peak)
Why: Leftover momentum from Black Friday. Firms extend sales to capture late shoppers.
3. Holiday Season (December)
When: Dec 1–23
Typical Discount: 20–30% off
Firms Running Sales: Smaller/newer firms (E8, Funded Trading Plus)
Why: Trading year-end push. Less aggressive than Black Friday but still valuable.
4. New Year Resolutions (January)
When: Jan 1–15
Typical Discount: 25–35% off
Firms Most Aggressive: FTMO, TradeDay, Apex
Why: New Year, new traders. Firms capitalize on resolution momentum.
5. Flash Sales (Random, Year-Round)
When: Unannounced, usually Monday mornings
Typical Discount: 15–30% off (unpredictable)
How to Catch Them: Email newsletters, Discord alerts, Twitter follows
Which Firms Offer the Deepest Discounts?
| Firm | Max Black Friday Discount | Regular Discount | Easiest to Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apex | 50%+ | 15–20% | Yes (advertised widely) |
| Funded Trading Plus | 40% | 20% | Yes (active promotions) |
| E8 Funding | 40% | 15% | Medium (smaller brand) |
| FTMO | 30–35% | 10–15% | No (less aggressive) |
| TradeDay | 25–30% | 10% | Medium |
Most Aggressive for Discounts: Apex and Funded Trading Plus. Smaller players competing for market share offer deeper cuts.
Least Aggressive: FTMO is the market leader and doesn't need to discount heavily. They sell on brand, not price.
How to Get Alerted for Sales
1. Email Newsletters
Sign up for each firm's email list. They announce sales 2–3 days in advance to email subscribers.
How to Subscribe: Go to firm's website, look for "Newsletter" or "Promotions" signup at bottom.
Pro Tip: Add sale emails to a special folder so you don't miss them in spam. Check weekly in October and November.
2. Follow Social Media (Twitter, Instagram, Discord)
Firms announce flash sales on Twitter first, often hours before email.
Best Accounts to Follow:
- @ApexTrader (Apex Trader)
- @FTMO_com (FTMO)
- @TradingDayApp (TradeDay)
- @FundedTradingPlus (Funded Trading Plus)
3. Discord Communities
Join prop firm Discord servers. Community members share sales before they're widely advertised.
How to Find Discord Links: Google "[Firm Name] Discord" or find links on their website.
4. PropFirmDealFinder (Obviously)
We aggregate all active deals and sales in one place. Check our platform for current offers. Download our iOS app for push notifications when big sales drop.
5. Set Calendar Reminders
Mark November 1 as "Black Friday season starts" in your calendar. Check deal sites daily through Dec 1. Set January 1 as "New Year sale season."
Anatomy of a 50% Off Deal
- Regular Challenge Fee: $99–$249 (depends on account size)
- 50% Off Price: $50–$125
- Savings Per Challenge: $49–$124
- Full Price Total: $99 + $149 + $249 = $497
- 50% Off Total: $50 + $75 + $125 = $250
- Total Savings: $247
Key Insight: 50% discounts are most valuable when scaling (buying multiple account challenges). If you're planning to scale from $5K → $10K → $25K over 6 months, wait and buy all three at 50% off. You save $200+.
Should You Wait for 50% Off or Buy Now?
Buy Now If:
- You're only buying one challenge (savings of $50–100 isn't game-changing)
- You're confident you'll pass (no point saving $100 on a fee you lose anyway)
- You want to start immediately (can't wait 2–3 months)
- You've been studying for weeks and are ready to test yourself
Wait for 50% Off If:
- You're planning to scale 2–3+ challenges (saves $200–500)
- It's September–October and Black Friday is only 2–3 months away
- You're still learning and can afford to wait (use demo accounts meanwhile)
- You want to buy multiple accounts at cheaper firms (Funded Trading Plus) at maximum discount
Combine Tactics for Maximum Savings
Layer 1: Use PFDF Code
PFDF gives 15–20% off base price
Layer 2: Buy During Black Friday
Firms run 40–50% off sales
Layer 3: Stack Codes (If Allowed)
Some firms allow PFDF + seasonal code. That's 55–70% off total.
Layer 4: Referral Credits
Use referral credits as additional $10–50 discount
Example Maximum Stacking:
- Original: $99
- PFDF (20%): -$20 = $79
- Black Friday (additional 30%): -$24 = $55
- Referral credit: -$10 = $45
Is this realistic? Usually PFDF doesn't stack with seasonal codes. But with referral credits + seasonal codes, 40–50% off total is achievable.
