Prop Firm Rules & Simulated Pass Rates — Every Major Firm
The complete ruleset and simulated pass rate for every major prop firm. Each firm's page runs three trader archetypes through thousands of evaluations against its exact rules — trailing drawdown, daily loss, consistency, and funded-account gates included. Independent — no affiliate links.
Methodology: barrier-crossing over daily P&L drawn from each archetype's edge and variance, matched against every firm's published ruleset. See how the simulator works.

Futures prop firms
US futures-focused firms — mostly one-phase, most with trailing drawdown. The strictness of the trailing is usually the single biggest driver of long-run EV.
Forex / CFD prop firms
International forex and CFD firms — mostly two-phase, mostly static drawdown. Track record and payout reliability matter as much as the eval ruleset.
Based on publicly listed rules as of the date shown on each firm's page. Independent — not affiliated with any prop firm. Rules change; verify before paying. Simulations are estimates, not guarantees.
The prop firm database covers 20 futures and forex/CFD firms. Each profile lists the evaluation rules — profit target, drawdown type, daily loss limit, consistency rule, minimum days and payout conditions — and the simulated pass and payout odds for three trader profiles.
Firms are not ranked by affiliate deals. Every firm goes through the same simulator, so differences in the results come from the rules alone.
| Drawdown type | Futures | Forex / CFD |
|---|---|---|
| Static | 3 | 10 |
| Trailing (EOD) | 6 | 0 |
| Trailing (intraday) | 1 | 0 |
