Prop firm accounts
Passed or failed, closed out properly.
Reach the target and close the evaluation as passed for a gold trophy card, or as failed with a review of what happened. Funded accounts build a buffer and count winning days toward a payout.
- Futures days can start at the 6 PM ET session open
- Log a payout and it comes off the balance, so your drawdown room stays true
Questions
Quick answers.
Do you support Tradovate, NinjaTrader and Rithmic?+
Yes, from their export files: match the columns once and every import after that is one drop. They don’t sync on their own yet; Interactive Brokers does.
Can the trading day start at the 6 PM ET open?+
Yes. A futures account can start its day at the session open instead of midnight, so a night session counts toward the right day.
Which prop firms have presets?+
Apex, Topstep and Take Profit Trader. Any other firm works with the rules you enter.
Can I track several evaluations?+
One account on the Free plan; Pro tracks every account, each with its own rules.
Does it know contract sizes?+
Yes. Futures get contract specs, fees and session days, so P&L and risk come out right for each contract.
