What is Prop evaluation
The evaluation stage at a prop firm: hit the profit target without breaking limits within the allowed days. Usually paid, in one or two phases.
How it works
Example
Phase 1: +10% target, 5% daily limit, 10% overall, at least 4 trading days. On a $100,000 account that is +$10,000 without falling below −$10,000.
Common mistake
Raising risk near the deadline to "make it": that is exactly how challenges end.
