The trader's rulebook
The rules decoded into plain English — how drawdown really works, why the consistency rule fails “passing” accounts, and how to get funded without tripping a rule you never read.
The evaluation is a math problem disguised as a trading test. Solve the math and the trading gets easy.
Two firms can advertise the same '10% max drawdown' and have wildly different odds of survival. The difference is the type.
You can hit the target and still be denied — if one day did too much of the work.
Passing is half the game. The payout terms decide whether the money actually reaches your account.
The evaluation model decides your odds before you place a single trade. Pick the one that matches how you trade.
Not every rule break ends your account — but the ones that do, do it instantly and silently.
Most firms allow EAs — but the specific tactics that get accounts voided are almost always automated ones.
Your payout is business income, not a trading gain. That single fact drives almost everything about how it's taxed.
The traders who last treat payouts like revenue, fees like costs, and firms like counterparties.
Educational content only — not financial advice. Always verify a firm's current rules against its official terms before relying on any detail.
