The drawdown type matters more than the price
End-of-day drawdown only moves at the close. Intraday trailing follows your open profit tick by tick, so a winner that comes back can knock you out. Traders who let winners run feel this most.

What's really going on
Six things prop firms don't put on the banner
"List price" is fiction
Almost every firm runs a 30% to 90% off code every week. Never pay list. Codes on this page are dated so you know how fresh they are.
Consistency rules decide your payout
A 40% rule means no single day can be more than 40% of your profit. One big day can delay a payout for weeks. Know the rule before you buy.
Firms close. Often.
Several firms Brian has tracked have closed or are winding down. Big, long-running firms with real payout history are the safer bet.
Read the warnings, not just the stars
Several futures firms have no Trustpilot score right now because Trustpilot flagged them for breaking its review guidelines. We show that instead of hiding it.
The evaluation is the easy part
Getting funded is a skills test. Staying funded is a risk-management test. Most traders blow funded accounts by sizing up after a good week.
The circus that is my life
Who is Brian Pascal?
My trading career started in 2005 at a massive in-person prop firm in Santa Monica. Then an FBI raid on my brokers changed everything overnight and pushed me fully into online trading, back when it was the Wild West.
19+ years and millions of trades later, I've had the Aston Martins, the fast boats, and two bankruptcies before 40. That "all-in" intensity is exactly what I teach traders to manage. Risk management is the foundation.
Real traders. Real skin in the game. We share the wins and the losses, because trading is chaotic enough to feel like a circus. Our job is to help you tame it.
