Prop Firm
Rules

Prop firm trading rules are the guidelines and restrictions that proprietary trading firms set for their funded traders. These include trailing drawdown limits, daily loss limit thresholds, profit target requirements, consistency rule percentages, and restrictions on trading styles like news trading or overnight holding.

Each firm has its own risk management approach. Some firms are more lenient to attract traders, while others enforce stricter rules to protect capital. The difference often reflects the firm's risk tolerance, business model, and target trader demographic.
