Prop firm rules compared

Every rule that decides whether a strategy survives, across ten firms, in one filterable table. Same data as the rules cards, one screen instead of ten.

Ten firms, eleven rules, one table. Filter by drawdown model, consistency, daily loss limit or automation policy; click a column to sort; click a firm for its full card. The data is the same as on the individual cards and carries the same September 2026 verification — this page exists so the comparison can be done in one screen instead of ten tabs.

How to use the filters

Start with the drawdown model on the funded stage — it is the rule that ends most accounts, and several firms switch models between evaluation and funded. Then consistency: a strategy with a low win rate and large winners needs “None” or “Funded / payout only.” Daily loss limit decides how many attempts a bad day gets. Automation decides whether a bridge can run unattended. Four filters narrow ten firms to the two or three whose rule sets a given strategy can survive; the Pass Estimator then runs the strategy's statistics against those.

Dashes mean the firm does not publish the figure or it changed too recently to verify; the individual cards say why in each case.

FAQ

Which prop firms use EOD trailing drawdown?
