Prop Firms sits inside Scott’s List. Everything here is my own experience, not Chris’s. My goal since joining the Inner Circle has been income replacement and a transition to funded and cash accounts, so I’ve spent a lot of hours inside evaluation rules with a discretionary system that was not designed around them.

Lessons and firm reviews

For the record, and without the screenshots: I have passed many evaluations, I have taken multiple payouts, and I also trade live cash accounts, which is a different animal and gets its own lesson. I have also failed evaluations, and those taught me more. You won’t find certificates or dollar figures here. Certificates can be faked and numbers invite the wrong questions. What you’ll find is the process that got me through, and the rules that keep me there.

Drawdown math, daily loss limits, which setups survive a trailing threshold and which don’t, the three-strikes rule I use, and what changes when the account is your own money. Where I’ve used a specific firm, I say so, and where a link pays me a commission, the page says that too.
