1-Step NOVA

NOVA Pay After You Pass Explained

The Pay After You Pass feature allows traders to start a NOVA evaluation with a VERY low upfront cost and only pay the full activation fee after successfully passing the challenge.

This structure reduces initial risk while preserving access to a funded account upon completion.

How Pay After You Pass Works

1. Initial Entry

To begin a NOVA evaluation:

  • Traders pay a one time fee of $7
  • Immediate access to the evaluation account is granted

This fee provides full participation under the NOVA challenge rules.

2. Passing the Evaluation

To qualify for funding:

  • The profit target must be reached
  • All applicable trading rules must be respected

Once the evaluation is successfully completed, the account becomes eligible for activation.

3. Activation Requirement

After passing:

  • A one time activation fee must be paid
  • Traders have 30 days to complete activation
  • Activation unlocks the funded account

Failure to activate within 30 days may result in account expiration.

Activation Fees

Account SizeActivation Fee
$25,000$165
$50,000$275
$100,000$550
$200,000$880
$300,000$1,247

Activation fees are paid only after passing.

What Happens If You Do Not Activate

Within 30 days after passing

If the activation fee is not paid within 30 days after passing:

  • The evaluation result may expire
  • Funded access will not be granted
  • A reset or new purchase may be required

Free Resets on Evaluation Accounts

Free Resets

If a trader breaches the NOVA evaluation:

  • The account can be reset for free
  • Resets are unlimited
  • No additional evaluation fee is charged

This applies only during the evaluation stage.

Important Clarifications

  • The $7 fee is not the funded account cost
  • Passing does not automatically activate the funded account
  • Activation payment is mandatory for funding
  • Evaluation resets remain free regardless of prior breaches
  • Activation fees are one time payments

Why This Model Exists

The Pay After You Pass structure is designed to:

  • Lower the barrier to entry
  • Reduce upfront trader risk
  • Reward successful performance
  • Provide flexibility through free resets

Important Notes

Important Notes
  • Activation must be completed within 30 days
  • Activation fees are non refundable
  • Free resets apply only to evaluation accounts
  • Funded accounts follow a separate ruleset
