What this tool does and does not do
This tool estimates risk-rule values from the numbers you enter. It does not connect to your trading account, execute trades, guarantee compliance, predict challenge success or replace your firm’s official dashboard.
Important Notes:
- Current Profit refers to the total profit made during the current consistency calculation period.
- Today P&L should include or exclude open P&L depending on the specific rules of your chosen prop firm.
- These formulas are generic estimates. Always verify your risk parameters against your prop firm's official rules and dashboard. For full calculation details, see our Methodology.

Why Funded Traders Need a Prop Firm Risk Dashboard
Prop firm rules are designed to be difficult. Most traders don't fail because they can't trade; they fail because they mismanage the specific constraints of the challenge.
- Traders pass profit target but fail consistency rule.
- Traders lose accounts because of trailing drawdown confusion.
- Traders underestimate challenge fees and reset fees.
- Traders do not know when to stop trading for the day.
- Traders manage multiple funded accounts manually.
- Traders confuse balance, equity, static drawdown, and trailing drawdown.
The Solution: Risk OS
Our calculator translates rules into safety metrics. It estimates how many losses you can take, and helps you compare the estimated fees, payout and remaining risk under your inputs.
Understand Prop Firm Rules Before You Trade
What is max daily loss?
The maximum amount your account equity or balance can drop in a single trading day, usually calculated from the end-of-day balance of the previous day.
Trailing Drawdown vs. Static Drawdown
Trailing: The drawdown threshold moves up as your highest equity reaches new peaks. If you make $1,000, your allowable loss threshold also moves up by $1,000.
Static: The allowable loss threshold is fixed to your initial starting balance minus the drawdown limit. It never moves up.
What is the consistency rule?
A rule preventing you from making all your profit in a single lucky trade. If the rule is 30%, no single trading day can account for more than 30% of your total required profit. If it does, you must continue trading to dilute that day's percentage.
Prop Firm Challenge ROI Example
| Account size | $100,000 |
|---|---|
| Evaluation fee | $149 |
| Activation fee | $85 |
| Profit target | $6,000 |
| Max daily loss | $2,000 |
| Max drawdown | $3,000 (Trailing) |
| Consistency rule | 30% |
| Expected payout | $2,500 |
Total Cost = $234
You must pay the $149 evaluation fee, pass the challenge without breaching, and then pay an $85 activation fee just to get funded.
Consistency Trap
To hit the $6,000 target, your best day cannot exceed $1,800 (30%). If you make $3,000 in one day, your new target becomes $10,000 to dilute it.
The Recommendation
With an expected $2,500 payout against a $234 cost, the ROI is roughly 10x. Estimated fee-to-payout ratio is favorable under your inputs provided your average loss is kept strictly under $500 to survive the trailing drawdown.
