A prop-firm program measures trading results against a profit objective and risk limits. Passing an evaluation does not erase funded-stage rules; eligibility, consistency, and payout conditions continue to apply.
| Stage 1 | Evaluation |
|---|---|
| Stage 2 | Funded progression |
| Stage 3 | Payout eligibility |
How it works
The platform tracks realized and unrealized performance, drawdown, trading days, violations, and eligibility.
- Define the contract and expiration month
- Convert the price move into points and ticks
- Multiply by the contract's verified point or tick value
- Account for fees, liquidity, and risk limits
Worked example
The account lifecycle is rules-based. A two-contract position moving 10 ticks changes by 20 total contract-ticks. The dollar result equals those contract-ticks multiplied by the product's tick value.
Risk and common mistakes
Treat the rule snapshot as part of the trading system, not administrative fine print.
- Confusing margin with maximum possible loss
- Using the wrong micro or E-mini multiplier
- Ignoring expiration, maintenance breaks, or economic events
- Sizing from desired profit instead of predefined risk
