Prop challenges, rebuilt: your own account, real firm rules and a live limits bar in the terminal

Practise for a funded-trader evaluation without risking a fee. Each prop challenge now runs on its own virtual $100,000 account, by rules modelled on six popular prop-firm programmes — daily loss, maximum loss, profit target, trading days, the firm's daily reset and its news rules — with a live limits bar over your chart, a review and a certificate.

Practise the evaluation, not just the trading

Most funded-trader evaluations aren't failed on bad trades but on rules: a daily loss limit hit at the wrong hour, a trade held through news, a target reached with a position still open. Our prop challenges now reproduce those rules closely, for free, on a virtual account.

  • Its own account. Every attempt runs on a separate virtual $100,000 account; your main paper account isn't touched. Switch between them in the terminal's account switcher.
  • Firm rules. Six presets follow the published rules of popular one- and two-step programmes (we're not affiliated with any firm): profit targets per phase, daily and maximum loss, minimum trading days, and a target that counts only once all positions are closed.
  • The firm's clock. The trading day resets at the firm's own hour, with a snapshot of equity, exactly as the daily loss limit is measured there.
  • News windows. High-impact releases are marked as zones on the chart. Where the programme bans news trading, new orders are blocked during the window and a pending order that would trigger inside it is cancelled.

Your limits, always in view

While you trade a challenge, a bar over the chart shows Daily, Max loss, Target and Trading days, updated from live prices every second, with a compact version on phones. Warnings and the result arrive in the bell, as push notifications (with their own switch in Dashboard → Notifications) and in Telegram.

After the attempt

Every attempt gets a review. Passing phase 1 of a two-step challenge earns 200 TW and passing the challenge 500 TW (the first pass of a preset in 30 days), plus a badge on your profile and a shareable certificate — which says plainly that it is practice, not a funded account. Start from Prop Challenges in your dashboard or from the terminal.

Prop challenges are a free simulation on a virtual account. They are not affiliated with any prop firm and do not lead to a funded account or payouts.
