Prop firm rules,sourced and dated.
A living database of the rules that decide whether a trader gets paid, for the major prop firms. Every value links to the firm's own page and shows the date we last checked it there.

How every data point is published
A rule without a source is an opinion, and a rule without a date may already be out of date. Each value here is published with both, so you can check it yourself before relying on it.
First-party sources only
Every value comes from the firm's own website, help centre or terms. Review sites, forums and aggregators are never a source.
Every value is dated
Each data point carries the date we last checked it at the source and a verbatim excerpt. Values older than 45 days are flagged for a re-check.
Gaps stay blank
If a firm's own pages don't settle a rule, it shows as not yet verified. We never fill a gap with a guess or an assumption.

The databases
Seven views over one set of verified rules. A value is checked once and shows the same everywhere.
- DB/01Prop Firm Rule DatabaseThe core rules of each firm's flagship programmes side by side. Every value links to the firm's own page and shows the date we last checked it there.243 of 259 values verified
- DB/02Payout Rules DatabaseWhat happens after a trader is funded: how long until the first payout, how often after that, whether withdrawals are capped, and whether the fee comes back.163 of 185 values verified
- DB/03Drawdown DatabaseTwo numbers end more funded accounts than any other rule. This table shows each limit alongside what it is measured from, because a 5% limit on day-start equity and a 5% limit on starting balance are different rules.74 of 74 values verified
- DB/04News Trading Restrictions DatabaseNews rules often change between the evaluation and the funded account. This table records both stages and the size of any restricted window.72 of 74 values verified
- DB/05Time Limit DatabaseHow long a trader has to pass, the minimum number of days they must trade, and how long an account can sit idle.103 of 111 values verified
- DB/06Evaluation Cost DatabaseList prices by account size, before promo codes, in the currency each firm lists. We do not convert currencies, so compare like with like.71 of 74 values verified
- DB/07Profit Split DatabaseThe trader's share of funded profit, the highest rate on offer, and the payout rules that decide how much of it can actually be withdrawn.94 of 111 values verified
Firms covered
Each firm's flagship programmes: its standard 2-step and 1-step evaluations and an instant funding account where it sells one. Firms are listed alphabetically; we do not rank them.
