Prop-firm seat planner

Seatcheck

Run your strategy through eleven prop-firm rulebooks as the firms stated them in writing, not as their pricing pages describe them. Below the simulator sits the rest of the screen: thirty-one more firms and the documented reason each one is not on the board. The number that kills accounts is the daily limit measured on floating equity, and whether the floor moves.

Independence Seatcheck is paid nothing by the firms it ranks, and carries no affiliate links. If that ever changes this line will say so, name every firm that pays, and the ranking will still come from the model and not the commission.

These are findings on the dates shown, not verdicts. Where a line describes what other traders have reported rather than what we established ourselves, it says so. Firms change their rules, and any of them can write in and have a correction published here the same day. Treat every row as a starting point for your own checks, not a substitute for them.

How it is scored. Each path draws one closed return and one intraday low per trading day. Daily limits are tested against the intraday low when the firm measures floating equity, against the close when it measures closed balance. Static floors sit at the starting balance; trailing floors follow the equity high; locked floors follow it until they reach breakeven and stop. Evaluations pass on target and minimum days, then the funded stage pays on the firm's stated first-payout rule and cycle. Consistency rules are shown but not scored.

A firm saying no is a result. Equity Edge answered that fully automated Expert Advisors are not permitted, which rules them out for anyone whose system places its own orders, however strong the rest of their rulebook is. That answer stays on the board rather than being deleted, because knowing a seat is closed is worth as much as knowing one is open.

Adding a firm. Every rule here came from a support ticket, not a pricing page. Name a firm that is missing and it gets the same six questions: whether the daily limit is measured on floating equity or closed balance, whether the floor trails or stays static, whether EAs are permitted on the funded account rather than only the evaluation, whether a VPS is allowed, what the consistency rule is, and the total allocation cap. The reply gets published here whatever it says.

If you are one of these firms. Every quote here is from your own support desk answering a pre-purchase question, reproduced as written and dated. Nothing is paraphrased to make a point. If a rule has changed, or a quote is wrong or out of date, say so and the correction is published the same day, with equal prominence, regardless of what it does to your ranking. Individual support staff are not named.

What it is not. A guarantee of anything. Rules are a snapshot from support replies on the dates shown, and firms change them, apply unpublished ones, and die. Fees are editable because list prices move weekly.
