Risk disclaimer

Nothing on this site is financial advice. I'm a trader who builds calculators, not a licensed or regulated financial adviser, and I'm not authorised by any financial regulator to tell you what to do with your money.

Everything here is educational. What you do with it is your decision and your risk.

Trading can lose you money

Trading futures, forex and CFDs carries substantial risk. Leverage magnifies losses as fast as it magnifies gains, and most retail accounts lose money. You should never trade with money you can't afford to lose entirely.

Prop firm evaluations carry their own version of that risk: you pay a fee up front, most people fail, and the fee is gone whether or not the rules that failed you were fair. Most evaluations are traded in a simulated environment, so passing one is a test result, not a profit.

What the calculators actually are

Every tool here is a model. It takes the numbers you type in, applies a firm's published rules, and returns an estimate. It is not a prediction, a guarantee, or a statement about what will happen to your account.

The output is only ever as good as the input. Feed a calculator a win rate you're hoping for and it will hand you a confident-looking version of that hope. The numbers are worth something only when they come from a sample you've actually measured — which is the whole argument on the about page.

What the simulator can't see

Most sites don't publish this. These are the real limits of the Monte Carlo pass probability model and the rule calculators built on it:

  • It assumes every trade is independent and that your edge stays constant. Real trading has streaks, regime changes, and days where you're the problem.
  • Slippage and commission are not modelled. Both make your real results worse than the simulation's.
  • Daily loss limits are checked on realized end-of-day PnL only. A firm that measures your worst point during the day is stricter than the model.
  • Intraday excursions are invisible. A position that ran deep against you and recovered costs nothing in the simulation. At a firm with a real-time trailing drawdown it can end the account.

The direction of every one of those is the same: the simulator is, if anything, kinder to you than the real thing. Treat its answer as a ceiling, not a forecast.

Firm rules change

Prop firm rules, prices, account sizes and payout terms change often, sometimes without announcement. Firm data on this site carries the date it was last checked, and the comparison page marks which firms have been verified against the firm's own documentation.

Even so: only the firm's own site is authoritative. Check the rules there before you pay for anything, and tell me if you find something here that's out of date.

My own numbers aren't a benchmark

Where I mention my own trading (trade frequency, R:R, back-test results), those are my numbers from my strategy, described so you can judge whether the person behind the calculators knows what he's doing. They are not a target, a recommendation, or something to copy.

Back-tested and forward-tested results are historical. They do not indicate future results, mine or yours.

Liability

This site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, QuantPropTrader accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of the calculators, the content, or any third-party site linked from here — including trading losses and evaluation fees.

Some links to prop firms are affiliate links. The disclosure at the foot of every page sets out how that works.
