Prop Firm Challenge Simulator

Set the rules before simulating

Enter the challenge’s initial balance, current realized balance and current equity including floating P&L. Select the monitored value, daily percentage base and overall loss rule. The defaults are an editable illustration, not the rules of a named firm. Check the current contract or dashboard for how commissions, swaps, floating profit, reset times and drawdown caps are handled.

Static and trailing floors

A static overall floor equals initial balance minus the maximum-loss percentage of initial balance. An uncapped trailing floor equals the supplied high-water mark minus that same allowance. The simulator does not infer a high-water mark from a single current balance. Enter the correct peak for your selected observation method: intraday, end of day or closed trade. A capped trailing rule is not modeled here.

Daily reference and reset

The daily floor equals your manually entered start-of-day reference minus the daily allowance. That allowance can be based on initial balance or the start-of-day reference. The IANA timezone and local reset time identify the latest reset instant; the tool does not retrieve or automatically roll forward a historical balance snapshot. Supply the snapshot belonging to that reset. Nonexistent or ambiguous daylight-saving reset times are rejected so that a guessed boundary cannot silently change the result.

Worked example

For an initial balance of 100,000 and a 10% static maximum loss allowance, the overall floor is 90,000. With a start-of-day reference of 103,000 and a daily allowance of 5% of initial balance, the daily floor is 98,000. Current equity of 102,500 leaves 12,500 above the overall floor and 4,500 above the daily floor. These are separate tests: remaining room under one does not override a breach of the other.

Targets and consistency

The profit target is measured using current balance against initial balance plus the target percentage. Minimum trading days are a separate requirement. Best-day consistency divides your best profitable day by either the sum of profitable days or net profit since inception, as selected. A zero consistency limit disables that check. The simulator does not reconstruct qualifying days or verify the supplied aggregates against trades.

FAQ: Does a passing result mean the firm will pass me?

No. Status reflects only the entered rules and snapshots. Reaching a floor is treated as a breach, and the interface warns when at most 20% of a loss allowance remains. Your firm may use different comparisons, restricted practices or additional conditions. Snapshot history lasts for this visit and can be exported; it is not continuous account monitoring or a record of every intraday breach.
