Prop Trading Firm
Pros: Low commissions on micros - only $0.50 per round trip! While they technically charge activation fees in theory; in reality they seem to almost always have a discount code in place that waives the activation fees. Also their $25K account has a 1:1 profit target to max drawdown ratio -- usually that ratio is more like 1.5 to 1.
Cons: During sim--funded stage, the drawdown is intraday - it is EOD during evaluation.

algo_policyalgo policy |
Automated trading systems restricted on timeframes shorter than 1 minute for PRO accounts. Manual trading allowed but subject to holding requirements. |
algo_policy_detailsalgo policy details |
While microscalping is not explicitly prohibited, rules effectively discourage it: 1) No automated trading systems on timeframes under 1 minute, 2) Must maintain at least one position for minimum 1 minute on most traded instrument once per week, 3) Excessive trading on very short timeframes (seconds) discouraged to maintain market integrity. TRADING HOURS: Positions may only be held during trading day (6:00 PM to 5:00 PM EST). Any position open past 5:00 PM EST causes automatic failure. Trades opened at/after 6:00 PM count for next trading day. |

vpn_policyvpn policy |
VPN policy is not explicitly published by this firm. In general, prop firms often restrict or closely monitor VPN/proxy/VPS usage because of KYC and compliance obligations, sanctions screening, fraud prevention, account-sharing detection, and risk controls tied to IP/geolocation consistency. Using location-masking tools can trigger security reviews, payout holds, or account action. Before trading with a VPN, confirm your exact setup with firm support in writing (especially when traveling or changing regions). |
