All guides
Copy one trade to every prop account
Follower sizes, firm rules on copying, and why each account needs its own guard before the next entry.
8 min read →The consistency rule, with numbers
What it measures, why it delays payouts, and how much more profit a big day needs.
6 min read →The daily loss limit
How firms count it, why recovery trading breaks it, and how to size against today's room.
6 min read →Choosing a trade copier
Cloud or desktop, price, VPS, platforms — and the guard most copiers skip.
7 min read →Log a trade from a screenshot
Drop a TradingView chart; the fields fill themselves, read on your device.
4 min read →Every prop firm rule, explained
The six limits that can fail a funded account — trailing drawdown, daily loss, target, consistency, minimum days and the restrictions nobody reads.
7 min read →How to pass a challenge without gambling
Size against the drawdown instead of the balance, set a stop tighter than the firm's, and treat the target as a by-product.
8 min read →How funded traders actually get paid
Buffers, qualifying days, the consistency rule at payout, splits and the audit — the second rulebook, read last by most traders.
7 min read →What a prop firm journal must track
Remaining room, daily loss used, target distance, consistency share and fees against payouts — the numbers a retail journal never carries.
6 min read →Start here
If you are new to funded accounts, read every prop firm rule explained first — it is the map. If you are mid-evaluation, go straight to how to pass a challenge. If you are already funded and waiting on money, the payout rules is the one you want.
Reading is not tracking
Propbook recalculates your drawdown, daily loss, target and consistency on every account you trade, after every trade you log, and pings you before a limit is crossed.
