What are prop firm evaluations? Prop firm evaluations are skill test accounts which prop firms give to traders in order to test their trading skills and strategies. Traders are required to meet specific profit targets without violating any trading rule, in order to qualify for the prop firm’s funded account.

Introduction

Think of the evolution of trading as those days when technology was limited and travelers had to rely on their feet while only the rich could afford horses and camels. Compare it to today when you can easily afford to board taxis, buses, and the likes, to reach your destination without wasting time.

The trading space is also experiencing similar evolution. There used to be a time when only the rich could easily make meaningful profits from trading. This was because they were the ones who could afford to deposit ten to hundred thousands of dollars into their trading accounts.

But prop firms come to flip the script. Now, you no longer need big capital before you can make big profits. Prop firms now offer tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands worth of evaluation accounts for relatively affordable fees. You can easily trade a $100k evaluation account by paying $500 to $700 fee. This precisely gives traders more reasons to trade with prop firms in 2026.

In this guide, we’ll explore prop firm evaluation rules, proven risk management guides to protect your evaluation accounts, and also provide you with a detailed guide on how to pass your evaluation accounts in 2026.

How Prop Firm Evaluations Work (Updated Rules and Evaluation Models)

Prop firms provide their traders evaluation accounts also known as challenge accounts. At this stage, you’re given specific profit targets which you are required to meet up with. The profits you make at the evaluation stages are solely to test your trading skills — you can not withdraw them.

Prop firm evaluations are in three models:

• The 1-step evaluation — a single phase account which only requires you meet a single profit target. After meeting this requirement, you’ll get your funded account credentials.
• The 2-step evaluation — a two phase evaluation account which requires you meet two different profit targets (one at phase one, and another at phase 2) before you get access to your funded account.
• The 3-step evaluation — a three phase evaluation account which requires you meet three different profit targets (phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3) before you get access to a funded account.

After you successfully pass your evaluation account, you will be given access to a funded account. This is the stage at which you can withdraw the profits you make.

Simply put: propfirm evaluation accounts test your skills, why prop firm funded accounts reward your skills with profits.

Updated Trading Rules You Should Keep in Mind Going into 2026

Prop firms operate on strict trading rules which they put in place to keep traders and capital in check. Here is a list of prop firm evaluation rules you should keep in mind going into 2026 (N.B: these rules vary from one firm to the other) :

1. Daily Loss Limit

   The daily loss limit is the maximum amount you’re allowed to lose in a single trading day. If you exceed this limit, your account is breached.

   Example: FTMO enforces a 5% daily loss limit.

2. Maximum Drawdown Rule

   Maximum drawdown rule defines the maximum amount you’re permitted to lose overall. Breaching this rule results in immediate account termination.

   Example: FTMO allows a 10% maximum drawdown.

3. Profit Target

   The profit target is the amount you must make to pass a phase or qualify for a payout.

   Example: FTMO requires 10% in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2.

4. News Trading Rule

   News trading rules determine whether trading during high-impact news events is allowed. Always check if your firm restricts or permits news trading.

5. Minimum Holding Time

   Some firms require trades to be held for a minimum duration before closing, either manually or automatically.

6. Minimum Trading Days

   This refers to the minimum number of trading days required to complete a phase, regardless of how quickly you hit the profit target.

7. Weekend Holding Rule

   Check whether the firm allows holding trades over the weekend. This is especially important for swing traders.

8. Consistency Rule

   The consistency rule limits how much profit can come from a single trade or trading day. It is mainly of two types: profit consistency and lot size consistency.

   This rule is common in instant funded accounts, although it is now being applied by some firms to evaluation accounts.

9. High-Frequency Trading & Tick Scalping

   This rule affects scalpers the most. If you’re a scalper, check restrictions on trade frequency and minimum holding time per trade.

10. Copy Trading & Group Trading

    Some firms restrict copying trades between accounts or trading as part of a group. Always confirm this beforehand.

11. Martingale Rule

    Firms define martingales differently. Check the firm’s FAQ to understand position scaling limits and restrictions.

12. Expert Advisors (EAs) & Bots

    If you use automated trading systems, confirm whether the firm allows EAs or bots, as well as under what conditions.

13. Leverage Rules

    Leverage rules define how much buying power you can use per trade. They prevent overexposure, and most firms automatically block trades that exceed allowed leverage.

14. Inactivity Rules

    Inactivity rule defines a period of time which your account is not to be without a trading activity. Most prop firms deactivate your evaluation account if you do not open any trade for a period of 30 days.

The Most Common Reasons Traders Fail Evaluations and How to Avoid Them

One of the major challenges traders face with prop trading is failing to get funded. Statistics from various sources point at 70% to 90% failure rate, depending on how large the data collected is.

A 2025 guide published by Investing Brokers in July on “How Many Traders Pass Prop Firm Challenge?” reveals 5% to 10% pass rate. This implies 90% to 95% of traders who purchase prop firm evaluation accounts fail it at the challenge phases.

The top questions for prop traders become:

Why do these traders fail?

Are these reasons avoidable?

How do we avoid them?

In this section, we’ll explore the common reasons prop traders fail their evaluations and how you can avoid making those mistakes.

1. Breaking Risk Rules

The number one reason traders fail their evaluations is breaking the prop firm’s risk rules. Prop firms operate on strict rules to keep you and their capital in check. These rules are put in place to guide you and your trading decisions.

The most common prop firm risk rules are:

• The daily loss limit — controls the maximum amount you are allowed to lose in a single trading day
• The maximum drawdown limit — controls the maximum overall amount you are allowed to lose on your trading account
• The maximum risk per trade — is the maximum amount you can risk on a single trade (position).

The percentage of your capital allocated to these rules depends on the firm you trade with, and the type of account you are trading.

The table below presents FTMO’s risk rules

Max Risk Per Trade	Daily Loss Limit	Maximum Drawdown
1%	5%	10%

This means:

If you purchase a $10,000 FTMO evaluation account,

The maximum amount you risk per trade must not cross $100

The maximum amount you lose in a day must not cross $500, and

The maximum amount you lose overall must not cross $1,000.

How to Avoid:

• Fix your trades below, not directly at the risk rules.

Let’s make it practical:

Instead of risking 1% per trade, consider risking not more than 0.8% so that you won’t cross the 1% limit by the time they add commissions and spread costs.

• Set a personal daily loss limit around 50% to 80% of the firm’s daily allowed losses.

Instead of using the FTMO’s 5% daily loss limit, set around 4% limit for yourself. This way, you don’t easily cross the official limit.

2. Overtrading to Hit the Profit Target

What is an evaluation profit target? A profit target is a specific profit (percentage) of your evaluation account which you are required to make in order for you to advance to the next phase.

Have you ever participated in a race? The moment you start, your mind is always at the finishing line. If you have been trading prop firm evaluation for some time, you would have most likely experienced a similar urge. You want to hit the specified profit target as fast as possible.

This urge often pushes traders to take too many trades with the hope that things would go their way and that they would end up meeting the profit targets without spending much time. However, they end up losing the evaluation accounts to overtrading.

How to Avoid Overtrading:

• Fix maximum number of trades you take per day
• Focus on high probability set ups only
• Skip low-liquidity hours, especially if you’re a scalper or a day trader
• Set a “no set-up = no trade” rule

We have a detailed guide on trading psychology to help you guard against over trading and other psychological barriers.

3. Not Understanding the Rules Properly

This is shockingly common among prop traders. You ask some traders why they failed their evaluation and you hear them say:

“I was not aware they had such trading rule”

“I didn’t know that was what the rule meant”

Some don’t read the rules at all, while some others read without properly grabbing the context. In the end, they lose their evaluation accounts to situations they could have avoided if only they had understood the rules properly.

How to Avoid:

• Earlier, we provided a list of rules you should pay attention to. You can go back to the sub-section titled “Updated Trading Rules You Should Keep in Mind Going into 2026.” Read them for general knowledge about what those rules mean.
• Visit the FAQ section of the firm you plan to trade with. Read their rules for understanding of the specific rules they have in place.

4. Psychology Breakdown Under Evaluation Pressure

Trading evaluation accounts and trading your personal accounts are not the same. The psychology is different. Evaluations feel like exams, you trade under strict rules, you spend time passing challenge phases before you get funded and start aiming for payout, and the access to large capital changes how your brain operates.

Let’s talk a Quick Look into what goes on in the mind of evaluation traders:

• Fear of trading big account sizes — majority of traders can’t control the impulses that come with trading big accounts. Especially if you started trading with small fees like $10 to $100. Trading an evaluation account might look too big to you. The running losses feel too big, and the running profits feel too big too. This triggers fear of losing which forces you to close winning trades too early, or forces you to overtrade in order to recover losses.
• Fear of failing evaluations — “I can’t afford to lose my hard earned fee” has made more traders lose their evaluation accounts than it has saved them. If you’re truly scared of losing your evaluation account, then you should follow your trading rules. Don’t let the fear lead to overtrading, revenge trading, or any other psychological bondage that holds you back.
• Emotional attachment to outcome — trading is not a casino game that you win by hope and luck. Losses come when you are emotionally attached to the outcome than you are to the process. If you ignore your strategy and rules because you want quick gains, you’ll never get the best outcome you desire.
• Holding losers too long — beware of the trap of holding on to losing positions for too long. The market does not owe you wins. The fact that you followed all your trading rules does not mean the trade will surely end up in profits. So, try as much as possible to get rid of the thought of “let me wait a while, the trade will surely end in profits.” Your SL should always be at your invalidation zone.

How to Avoid:

• Develop a trading plan and follow it
• Develop emotions checklist
• Journal and review your trades

5. Inconsistency

What if we tell you inconsistency kills more accounts than you can imagine? Most traders, especially beginners, jump from one trading strategy to another. They automatically assume all losing streaks are caused by bad trading strategies.

Rather than to work on themselves, they run to another strategy. And the same cycle repeats until the account is blown. Some others also follow different signals from trading groups or random social media posts.

Instead of consistently following the same pattern till the winning stream comes, they change to different patterns hoping to get lucky. In the end, they fail their evaluations and put the blame on strategy or trading psychology.

How to Avoid:

Focus on only one working trading strategy. Practice and repeat it through wins or losses.

Proven Practical Risk Management Guide to Protect Daily and Max Drawdown

In this section, we’ll work you through a practical guide you can apply on your evaluation accounts to protect your daily and maximum drawdown.

In this guide, we’ll be using a $50,000 FTMO evaluation account for our samples.

Starting Balance	Max Risk Per Trade	Daily Loss Limit	Maximum Drawdown
$50,000	1% ($500)	5% ($2,500)	10% ($5,000)

Starting Balance = $50,000

Maximum risk per trade = $500

Daily loss limit = $2,500

Maximum drawdown = $5,000

Your goal is not to avoid losses. Your goal is to never let a single bad trade or day end your account.

Core Rules

• 1. Fixed Risk Per Traded

Rule: choose a fixed risk per trade between 0.5% to 0.75% (you can go above 1% if the firm you trade with allows it)

0.5% of $50,000 = $250

0.75% of $50,000 = $375

Risking this means you don’t cross the maximum allowed risk per trade. Also, it keeps your account intact even if you lose 5 trades or more in a roll.

Most traders risk 3% or more hoping for things to go in their way. In the end, the trades end in loss and they fail the evaluation after taking one or two trades.

• 2. Daily Loss GuardRail

If you’re serious about passing your evaluation accounts, never let your guard down against the daily loss limit.

The daily loss limit for a $50,000 FTMO account is $2,500. Crossing this limit means you automatically fail the evaluation.

Personal rule: set your personal limit at 30% to 80% of the $2,500 limit.

Example: stop trading after losing 1% to 4% of your starting balance for the day.

This leaves you with a buffer for slippages, spreads, and mistakes.

• 3. Weekly Drawdown Cap

Decide how many percent of your account you’re risking in a single trading week. This should be planned according to your trading rules and trade frequency so you don’t end up missing out on good trades.

A personal weekly drawdown cap helps you guard against violating the maximum drawdown. You tend to focus more on high probability trades when you limit how much you can lose.

Example:

The maximum drawdown of a $50,000 FTMO evaluation account is $5,000.

You can create a rule of $2,500 maximum loss in a week

To determine your risk per trade, divide $2,500 by your average weekly trade

If you trade 5 times in a week:

$2,500/5 =$500

This means your maximum risk per trade should be below $500

• 4. News Risk Filter

High impact news events often come with high volatility, slippage and spread spikes which can easily lead to daily drawdown violation.

Also, most firms have rules you must follow during high impact news events. Check your chosen firm to see the rules they have in place.

On your FTMO evaluation account, you’re permitted to trade during news events. However, you must be careful of slippage and spread spikes especially if you trade on a lower time frame – a 5 seconds candle spike can easily take out your stop loss and even add extra losses due to spread spikes during news.

FTMO however has a 2mins news rule on funded accounts. This means you are not allowed to open or close a trade 2 mins before or two minutes after news.

Suggested personal rule:

set a “no trade 5 to 10 mins before and after high impact news.” This ensures the market condition has regulated and spread is back to normal. Also, you avoid breaching the news rule put in place by the firm.

• 5. Equity-Based Daily Stop

Have you ever been in a situation whereby you are 1% or 2% away from hitting your profit target but end up going back to losses that same day? You can tell how heartbreaking and regretful it is. It can even force you to make irrational trading decisions the following day.

Suggested personal rule: daily loss measured from day’s equity high, especially if your strategy supports trailing stop loss or break even. This protects your gain and limits your losses at the same time.

Sample on Your $50,000 FTMO Evaluation Account

Amount risked: $500

Targeted reward: $2,500

Floating profit: :$2,000

You’re close to your targeted level already, rather than leaving your SL at the initial -$500 point, consider moving it to secure $1,000 profit.

If price reverses, you secure $1,000 profit. If the price hits TP, you secure $2,500 full profit. Better than ending up in -$500 loss if price reverses.

Note that: this also has its disadvantages as price might reverse to stop you out before going to full TP. Cases like this, you secure $1,000 instead of full $2,500 profits.

Proven Practical Risk Management Guide to Protect Daily Drawdown and Maximum Drawdown

Industry statistics point to daily loss limit violations as the reason why 50% to 70% of traders who fail evaluations breach their accounts. And this is thus a result of poor risk management practices.

The outcome of a single trade is not guaranteed, but a series of well managed trades bring you closer to profitability. Thus, risk management is important if you want to be consistently profitable.

In this section, we’ll walk you through a proven, practical risk-management guide you can follow trading day to trading day, in order to protect daily drawdown and maximum drawdown limits.

The Drawdown Protection Playbook

The sample will be based on a $50,000 FTMO evaluation account.

Account Size	Max Risk Per Trade	Daily Loss Limit	Max Drawdown
$50,000	$500	$2,500	$5,000

• 1. Risk Per Trade

Rule: risk 0.25% to 0.8% only

Why this works:

• You can lose multiple times without panic
• You stay far from daily DD even on bad days

$50k example

• 0.25% = $125
• 0.8% = $400

Non-negotiable:

If you ever think about increasing risk → you’re emotional.

• 2. Daily Loss Lock (Protects Daily DD)

Rule: hard stop at less than or equal to -3.5% per day (this means you stop trading any day you are down -$1,750)

Execution:

Risking 0.8% per trade means you can lose 4 trades in roll without breaching the daily drawdown limit.

Thus, this protects your account against daily drawdown violations.

• 3. Weekly Drawdown Cap (Protects Max DD)

Rule: weekly loss limit 3% to 5% (you stop trading for the week when you hit this limit).

Why:

• Max DD is 10%
• You never want one bad week to end the account

Example:

-3% of $50,000 evaluation account = -$1,500

-5% of $50,000 evaluation account = -$2,500

Anytime you hit the fixed limit you set for yourself, you stop trading for the week.

It’s important to structure your risk per trade in a way that fits into the limit you’ve set for yourself, so you don’t end up missing out on good trades just because of the limit you’ve set.

Let’s say your average trade per week is 10 and the limit you set for yourself is -5%

Divide your limit by average number of trades per week

You have $2500/10 = $250 risk per trade.

• 4. Emergency Rule

Rule: if you break two trading rules in a single day, don’t trade the next day.

Why? Breaking your rules leads to a series of losses and might even lead to failing evaluations.

Having this rule in place will keep you more disciplined. And discipline protects your account against violations.

• 5. Profit Giveback Rule

Rule: stop trading if you give back 50% of the day’s profit.

Example:

Trade 1 = +3.2%

Trade 2 = -0.8%

Trade 3 = -0.8%

After the two losses, consider stopping for the day as you’ve already lost half of the initial profit you made.

A Step-by-step Evaluation Guide (Day 1 to Funded Stage)

Step 1: Choose Reliable Prop Firms

Choosing the firm you trade with is important to how profitable you become. You don’t want to trade under bad conditions, and you don’t want to be a victim of payout denials.

This is why it is important to make researches and ask for community feedbacks before choosing a prop firm to trade with

Step 2: Read the Rules

This is one step most traders fail. You see them violating rules they are not even aware of. How can you avoid what you don’t know of its existence?

Write down the core rules and revise them every time.

Step 3: Define Your Risk Parameters Before You Trade

Risk management is the backbone of all profitable traders. If you want to be profitable, you have to define your risk rules.

Define your risk parameters based on the core risk rules:

• Maximum risk per trade
• Daily loss limit
• Maximum drawdown limit

Make sure the amount you decide on is lesser than the amount assigned by the firm. Example:

Maximum risk per trade on a $50,000 FTMO account is $500 (1%). Make sure the amount you risk per trade is lesser than $500 so that you can bear spread costs and commissions without violating rules.

$250 to $400 risk per trade is good.

Step 4: Create a Detailed Trading Plan

Your trading plan guides your trading decisions. It should include:

• Strategy rules
• Entry and exit criteria
• Trading pairs
• Trading sessions
• Risk management rules – max risk per trade, max loss per day, etc
• News trading rules
• Emergency rules

Always remember that having a trading plan is not enough, it is important for you to follow it.

Step 5: Create a Profit Protection Rule

Profit protection rules are put in place to safeguard your profits. They ensure you do not lose your profits back to the market recklessly.

Example: adjust SL to break even when trade is running in 3r profit, or secure partial when account is up 3% floating profit.

Note: it is important to fit these rules according to how your strategy works. Only use them if your strategy allows.

Step 6: Create a Trading Journal and Review It

Your trading journal contains information about your trading activities and decisions. It must include:

• Date
• Pairs traded
• Session
• Direction
• Timeframes used
• Lot size
• Risk in percentage and amount
• Risk to reward ratio
• Entry and exit logic
• Screenshot of the trade set up (before and after execution)
• Your emotional state
• Rule compliance checklist (did you follow your rules or you broke them? If you broke them, note why you did).

Information provided in your journal helps you grow better. Review them and evaluate your performance over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Prop Firm Evaluations in 2026

1. What is a prop firm evaluation?

A prop firm evaluation is a test phase where proprietary trading firms assess a trader’s ability to trade profitably while following strict rules such as daily loss limits, maximum drawdown, profit targets, and consistency requirements. Passing the evaluation qualifies you for a funded trading account.

2. Why do most traders fail prop firm evaluations?

Most traders fail due to poor risk management, overtrading, emotional decision-making, and violating drawdown rules. Chasing profit targets quickly instead of prioritizing capital preservation is one of the biggest reasons evaluations are breached.

3. What risk management rules should I follow to pass in 2026?

To pass a prop firm evaluation in 2026, traders should:

• Risk 0.5% – 1% per trade
• Set a daily loss cap below the firm’s limit
• Stop trading after 2–3 losing trades per day
• Focus on consistency rather than speed

These rules help protect both daily and overall drawdown limits.

4. How long does it usually take to pass a prop firm evaluation?

The time varies by firm and your trading strategy, but most successful traders pass within 10 – 60 trading days. Slower, controlled progress is often safer than trying to hit the profit target in a few days.

5. Is it better to scalp, day trade, or swing trade during evaluations?

There is no single best style, but day trading and controlled scalping tend to work best during evaluations because they allow tighter risk control and faster feedback. Swing trading can be riskier due to overnight and weekend exposure, unless the firm allows it.

6. Can I pass a prop firm evaluation with a low win rate?

Yes. Many funded traders pass evaluations with a 40%–55% win rate by maintaining a positive risk-to-reward ratio. Consistent execution matters more than win rate.

7. Should I trade news events during prop firm evaluations?

For most traders, avoiding high-impact news is safer. News volatility can cause slippage and sudden drawdown breaches. If you trade news, ensure it aligns with the firm’s rules and your tested strategy.

8. Do prop firms change their rules often?

Yes. In 2026, many prop firms will continue to tighten rules around consistency, drawdown calculation methods, and risk exposure. Always review the firm’s latest rulebook before starting an evaluation.

9. What is the biggest mindset shift needed to pass prop firm challenges?

The biggest shift is moving from profit-focused trading to rule-focused trading. Your goal during an evaluation is not to make money fast, but to prove consistency, discipline, and capital protection.

10. Can I retake a prop firm evaluation if I fail?

Most prop firms allow traders to retake evaluations, often by purchasing a new challenge. However, repeatedly failing without fixing risk management usually leads to the same outcome. Hence, it is crucial for you to review your mistakes and refine your plan before you retry.

11. What should my trading plan include for a prop firm evaluation?

A solid evaluation trading plan should include:

• Daily loss limit
• Maximum risk per trade
• Approved trading sessions
• Entry and exit rules
• Stop-trading conditions
• Weekly performance review process

12. Will passing a prop firm evaluation be harder in 2026 than previous years?

Yes, in many cases. Prop firms are prioritizing sustainability and trader behavior over aggressive profits. While rules may feel stricter, traders who focus on discipline and structure actually have a higher long-term success rate.

13. How long does it take to get my funded account credentials after passing my evaluation account?

In many cases, it takes 48hrs or less depending on the firm. Prop firms usually take this time to check if you have not breached any of their trading rules.

Violating any rule results to denial of funded account.
