Rule 1: Consistency rule - biggest day capped at X% of total profit, which raises the target you must reach
Rule 2: Drawdown type - static vs end-of-day trailing vs intraday trailing
Rule 3: Daily loss limit - soft breach (sent home) vs hard breach (account closed)
Rule 4: Payout rules - minimum days, buffer, consistency on payout, frequency, profit split
Runtime: ~16 minutes

Sponsored by PropFirmMatch. This is a rules guide, not a strategy test.

Checked Sep 22, 2026. These numbers come from the video. They are backtest or simulated results, not live trading, and not financial advice.

The app I built to log a backtest and run it through prop firm challenge rules. It is free to try.

Members get the code behind my backtests, the results before the video goes public, and a vote on what I test next.

EdgeFinder is my app and Backtest Lab is my channel membership, so both of these pay me. They never change a test result.
