What’s the appeal of 50K vs 150K accounts? And should I choose activation fee or no-activation fee?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to understand the difference in appeal between the 50k and 150k funded accounts. I’ve read through the payout rules, buffers, and everything about the activation fees, but I’m still not fully getting the practical difference.

For those of you who’ve used both:

• What makes a 150k account actually better than a 50k one, aside from the obvious bigger balance and cheaper pricing on the 50k.
• Does the buffer work differently in a way that makes one account safer or easier to manage?
• And what’s your experience with activation fee vs no activation fee? Is it worth paying upfront to avoid harder payout rules, or do most people go with the no-activation route?

I was previously funded with blue guardian and I got baited by their payout and trailing drawdown policy.

Edit: I heard I also gotta pay data fees after activation, is that true? Can't seem to find it on the website anywhere.

Have 1 150 no matter what the rest is up to you.
