Rule engine

Most calculators ignore the rules that actually fail people.

Roughly 80% of failed evaluations come from drawdown mechanics and rule breaches, not from a bad win rate. Every one of these is checked on every simulated trade.

Trailing drawdown, tracked trade by trade

A rising equity line with a threshold that ratchets up beneath it, then locks.

Daily loss limits, checked every trade

An intraday path clipping the floor ends the day, and often the account.

Consistency rules

One oversized day can invalidate an otherwise passing evaluation.

One-phase or two-phase structures

Phase gates, evaluation windows and minimum trading days, modelled exactly.

True profit after every eval fee

A stepped net line that drops each time you buy another attempt.

Best case, median and worst case

Three divergent futures instead of one comforting average.

FAQ

Questions traders actually ask.

Why simulate 100+ challenges instead of one?

A single evaluation is one draw from a wide distribution. Chaining attempts shows what actually happens to your capital over a year of trying, after every fee.

What's the difference between pass probability and long-run EV?

Pass probability is the chance of clearing one evaluation. Long-run EV is what you keep after repeated attempts, funded-stage payouts and every eval fee you paid to get there.

How is pass probability calculated?

We simulate thousands of attempts, each played trade-by-trade against the exact ruleset you configure — drawdown, daily loss, consistency, minimum days, profit target.

How is this different from free calculators?

Most free tools treat drawdown as static and ignore the consistency rule. Both materially change the odds, usually downward.

Do you cover all the major firms?

Pre-built rulesets cover Apex, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, Take Profit Trader, FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, E8 and more. Any published ruleset can be configured manually.

What does expected profit per challenge mean?

Average net result of one evaluation attempt across all simulated paths, including the fee you paid and any funded-stage withdrawals.

How do I read P25/P50/P75?

P50 is the median outcome. A quarter of simulated paths land below P25 and a quarter above P75 — the band is your realistic range.

Why a range instead of one number?

Because trading outcomes are distributions. A single number hides the tail that actually blows accounts.

What does the performance tracker do?

It records every challenge purchased, every payout taken, and reports net equity, cost per funded account and realised ROI by firm.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, from your account settings. Access continues to the end of the billing period.
