This section is for discussing prop firm challenges and evaluations: rules, profit targets, drawdown limits, time limits, scaling plans, and strategies for passing. If you've passed, failed, or found something worth knowing, share it here.
Basic conduct
Be straight about your experience. Passed a challenge? Great, share what worked. Failed? Even better, share what went wrong. Both are useful.
Don't talk down to people who are on their first challenge. The rules vary wildly between firms and it takes time to figure out what actually matters.
If you disagree with someone's approach to a challenge, explain your reasoning.
Promotion & advertising
Do not promote prop firms, challenge services, or passing tools without admin approval. This includes "I used this EA to pass, DM me for the settings" if it leads to a sales funnel.
Mentioning a firm or tool in context is fine. Building threads around them to drive referrals is not.
Referral links get removed without warning.
DMing members to sell challenge passing services will get you banned.
Posting standards
When discussing a specific challenge, name the firm and the account size. Rules differ between tiers and firms, and vague advice based on unclear context causes confusion.
Be precise about the rules you're working with: daily drawdown, max drawdown, profit target, minimum trading days. These details are what make advice actually applicable.
If you're sharing a passing strategy, include live context, not just a backtest. Challenge conditions and live execution are not the same thing.
If your approach stopped working after a firm updated its rules, flag it. Outdated strategies presented as current advice do real damage here.
Other things that'll get your post removed
Posts that are clearly just advertising a challenge passing service or funded account reseller.
Strategies that involve exploiting platform glitches or loopholes. That's not trading, and most firms will void your account for it anyway.
Unverified claims about a firm's evaluation process presented as fact.
Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting.
