Prop-Firm Challenge Planner
Turn a firm's rules into real numbers: your profit target, daily and overall loss limits, and roughly how many trades it takes to pass without breaching a rule.
How this works & the assumptions
Prop-firm challenges are won by respecting the loss limits, not by chasing the target. This planner converts the firm's percentage rules into dollar figures and estimates the workload:
- Expectancy per trade = (win% × reward) − (loss% × risk). We divide your profit target by this to estimate trades to target.
- Losses to breach = loss limit ÷ risk per trade — how many losers in a row (or in a day) before you're out.
If your win rate and reward:risk don't produce a positive expectancy, no amount of trades reaches the target — the tool will flag it. Keeping risk per trade well below the daily-loss limit is what actually keeps you in the challenge.
Note: Estimates assume consistent risk and independent trades — real results vary. Educational only, not financial advice. Always read the specific firm's rules (some use trailing drawdown, consistency rules, or minimum trading days).
