At thePropTrade, the trading strategy you use to pass the Challenge is a key factor in earning and maintaining a Funded Account. Our evaluation model is built around consistency and repeatability.

Your strategy during the Evaluation is a key indicator of your trading professionalism, discipline, and consistency. When you become funded, we expect you to maintain the same overall trading style and risk approach that led to your successful Challenge result.

Strategy Consistency Requirement

Once you become funded, you are expected to continue trading using the same core strategy that helped you pass your Challenge.

Minor refinements such as improved risk management, execution timing, or trade management are acceptable. However, significant changes to your trading approach may raise concerns during routine account reviews.

Examples of significant changes include:

• Introducing materially different risk profiles or execution style
• Switching from discretionary trading to aggressive automation
• Moving from low-risk swing trading to high-risk scalping

This policy protects the integrity of the program and ensures that traders who pass the Evaluation are genuinely capable of replicating their performance under funded conditions.

Why Consistency Matters

Maintaining a consistent strategy:

• Confirms that your performance is skill-based, not random
• Aligns with the principles of an evaluation-based funding model
• Demonstrates discipline and professionalism expected from long-term funded traders

Warning: Strategy Changes May Trigger a Performance Review

If our team identifies a clear strategy change or inconsistent trading behavior, your account may be subject to a performance review. In some cases, this may result in:

• Restriction or denial of performance rewards
• Temporary account suspension
