The learning curve for perpetual contracts beginners is often very high—entering the market is live trading, and a sudden market move can burn through the initial capital completely. This "pay tuition" model, while quickly teaching people the taste of losses, results in very few traders who stick around.

Recently, some platforms have changed their approach by adopting evaluation methods inspired by professional traders. Users only need to pay an entry fee of around $20 to participate in an assessment challenge within an independent trading environment. This allows them to understand the temperament of derivatives in a relatively safe sandbox, without being wiped out by market volatility right at the start. It’s a pretty clever design—reducing the cost of trial and error while filtering out traders who are truly patient and willing to learn. It’s definitely more friendly to beginners.
