Rules
Prop firm rules, explained without the marketing
Every rule that can end an account, written generically and covering both futures and forex conventions. Firms appear only as labelled examples, never as recommendations.
Rules by firm — evaluation stage
A dash (—) means Proplysis does not hold verified data for that field — not that the rule is absent. A green None means the firm states there is no such requirement. Where a firm runs several programs, each row shows one named program’s evaluation rules — the others can differ. Open the firm for the full per-program, per-stage breakdown.
