Rules, worked through
How each rule of a prop challenge plays out on a real account size, step by step, calculated from the published Challenge Rules.
- $48,000Daily floor on day one of a $50K Sprint
How the daily drawdown limit works on a prop challenge
The daily drawdown limit is set once a day from your closed balance and checked against live equity. A worked $50K Sprint example, the swap timing, and which floor binds.
- 4 daysThe fewest winning days that can pass the 30% rule
The 30% consistency rule: why you need at least four winning days
No single day may hold more than 30% of the profit for a phase or reward period. What that means in dollars, why it takes at least four winning days, and what to do after one big day.
- $103,000Edge floor after equity touches $108,000 on a $100K account
Static vs trailing drawdown: why the Edge floor moves up
A static drawdown floor never moves. A trailing one follows your highest equity, including open profit. Worked examples from the VFUNDED Challenge Rules, and what that means for how you manage winners.
- 25%Share of the daily room one 1% stop-out uses on a $50K Sprint
Why 1% risk is a quarter of your day on a prop challenge
On a challenge, the budget that matters is the room to today's floor, not the balance. A $50K Sprint example with EUR/USD, commission included, and how many stop-outs each risk level survives.
- 4 routesOne phase, two phases, three phases, or none
Sprint, Classic, Ascend or Edge: how the four challenges differ
One phase, two, three or none. Every rule that differs between the four VFUNDED challenges, side by side, with the price of a $50K account and the trade-offs of each route.
