How to compare prop firm programmes

Start with the market and platform you use, then compare the exact programme and account size. A lower entry fee is only one part of the decision.

Check the total cost

Read the payment cadence alongside the price. Before paying, check renewal, reset, activation and platform or data charges in the provider's terms.

Use the evaluation checklist →

Understand the loss limits

Account size is not the amount you can lose. Check how the loss floor moves, when it updates and whether open positions count towards a breach.

Understand drawdown rules →

Read the next-stage terms

Check what happens after passing: account type, trading permissions and payout conditions. Required trading days and calendar waiting days are different.

Understand payout conditions →

For company background and programme context, browse the prop firm reviews.
