Prop Challenge Lab

Simulate a 2-step prop challenge with the rules as they really work: the daily loss counted from the day's start, a trailing end-of-day max loss, minimum profitable days, a daily stop and a drawdown brake. Then find the risk per trade that gives you the best pass chance. Runs in your browser - nothing is sent or stored.

Assumes independent trades with your win rate and payoff. Real trading has streaks, slippage and gaps. A model, not a promise. Not financial advice.

How to use the results

1. Put in your real win rate and payoff from the Journal X-Ray (not the numbers you hope for). 2. Check the sweep: if your pass chance rises when you lower the risk, you are being killed by the loss limits, not by your strategy. 3. Test the daily stop and the drawdown brake - they cut busts the most. 4. Check whether your edge is real before you pay for a challenge.
