TradingIsAJob — not a bet.

Check your prop firm

Take the numbers from your firm's rules page. You don't have to tell us which firm it is.

1. Maximum total loss on your account
Where to find it: rules page — "max loss" or "max drawdown". Enter dollars: 10% of a $100,000 account is 10000.
2. Daily loss limit
Where to find it: rules page — "daily loss" or "daily drawdown".
3. Does the firm name the broker that will hold your funded account?
Where to find it: FAQ or Terms — look for a broker or exchange member by name. "Our liquidity provider" or "our partner" does not count.
4. Are payouts capped, or "at the firm's discretion"?
Where to find it: payout rules or Terms — search "cap", "maximum payout", "discretion".
5. Your profit split on the funded account
Where to find it: pricing page. Enter the trader's share, e.g. 90.
6. What will you trade: stocks and futures on an exchange, or Forex / CFDs?
Where to find it: instruments or FAQ page — look for "CFD" or "contract for difference". Forex firms often add "stocks" as CFDs.
7. Does the contract call the funded account "simulated", "demo" or "virtual"?
Where to find it: Terms & Conditions — press Ctrl+F and search "simulated".

Remember the one rule

Simulated account after you pass = you trade against the firm.

Real account with real money = your profit is its profit.
