What We Help With
Choosing a Prop Firm
Comparison
Match a firm and program to your strategy. We break down evaluation vs instant models, account sizes, and key metrics — drawdown type, daily/overall loss limits, minimum trading days, scaling rules, and payout cadence. We also flag platform fit and real costs so you see true value — not just headline price.
ECRD & fee impact
Platform compatibility
Rules & Risk Mechanics
Rules
Understand how risk is enforced so you don’t get tripped up. We clarify trailing vs static drawdown behavior, when locks trigger, consistency rules, daily loss policies, and news restrictions. Examples show how intraday trailing updates impact risk during volatility and what that means for sizing and targets.
Common pitfalls
Scaling & limits
Platforms & Setup
Payouts & Tech
Get clear on payout windows, frequency, and methods (wires vs processors) plus any first-payout conditions. We cover platform setup, data packages, and latency considerations so you can pick the right stack. Spot a broken link or rule change? Tell us so we can update it.
