Rules from the firms' pages · with date and source

Prop firms: challenge rules in one place

43 programs from 20 firms — fees, targets, loss limits and EA rules. Every number has a source and a date. We don't rank by commission; check your own odds in the calculator on your own trades.

As of 2026-10-27. Firms change their rules often — check the source before you buy.

How we earn from this: some firms may carry a partner link — always clearly labeled. The order, descriptions and calculator results don't depend on it.

Data confidence: “from the firm's page” — every number confirmed with the firm; “partly from comparison sites” — some numbers only from third parties; “comparison sites only” — not confirmed with the firm.
