Plan At-a-Glance
The Math: Value & Risk
Two derived metrics every trader should check before buying any prop firm evaluation. Calculated automatically from the plan's profit target, max drawdown, None discounted price, and activation fee.
Earn $21.05 per $1 of max payout for every $1 of all-in cost (None discounted price + activation fee). Higher = better value entry.
Max drawdown as a percentage of profit target. Lower = tighter risk-to-reward. Below 50% means very little breathing room; above 100% means generous drawdown relative to target.
DGT Verdict
Scores 8.0/10 — Excellent. Strong overall metrics across the factors that matter most. On the metrics: exceptional value math (31.58 target-per-dollar), drawdown buffer in sweet-spot territory (67%), daily (live funded) / on request (xfa, 5d standard / 3d consistency) payouts. Restrictions to weigh: news trading restricted. Bottom line: excellent fundamentals — recommended for traders matching the profile.
