The rules that decide whether an account pays

Short, firm-neutral explainers. Each one answers a question traders ask after an account is already gone, in dollars, with the arithmetic shown. No firm is named: rules differ by plan, stage, and purchase date, and only your firm's current page counts for your account.

• Trailing vs end-of-day drawdown, explained

  How trailing, end-of-day, and static drawdown differ, why update and enforcement timing are separate questions, and how to know your room before you size.

• The prop firm consistency rule, in dollars

  What a consistency rule measures, why an account can hit its target and still have a payout denied, and how to work out your headroom from daily P&L.

• What a funded account really costs

  Cost per funded account: evaluations, resets, activations, and fees divided by the accounts that reached funded. The number a first payout has to clear.

• Prop firm inactivity rules: which product, bought when?

  Why inactivity policies differ by stage, purchase date, day type, and activity definition, and why an old video about your firm can be wrong about yours.
