Prop firms
Prop firm rules: loss limits and targets compared
Daily loss limit, max loss, profit target and minimum days for each program — only what's been checked against the firms' public pages, with a check date and a source link. Where a firm is silent or contradicts itself, the cell is empty.

Rules change. The table is a snapshot as of the check date; confirm on the firm's site before buying a challenge.
Firm pages
How the data is collected
Every number comes from the firm's public rules page, each with a link and a check date. Where the firm's site blocks automated reading, the numbers were assembled from search results for its own pages — those sources are marked “secondary”.
When a firm publishes different numbers on different pages, the field stays empty instead of getting a “typical value”. The Trading OS journal uses the same rules when it computes the room left on a prop account.
