Frequently asked
Answers to the questions that actually come up. Ping me if yours isn't here.
How is PropDash different from other comparison sites?+
PropDash doesn't take affiliate commissions, and rankings are a public formula (see methodology). Most other comparison sites rank by who pays them the most.
Do you trade with all these firms?+
I've used several personally (Apex, Topstep, MFF). For the rest, rules and promos come from the firm's official pages, verified on the last-updated date shown.
What does “trailing drawdown” vs “static drawdown” mean?+
Static: your drawdown limit stays fixed from the start. Trailing: it follows your highest balance up. Static is much more forgiving — you don't lose the cushion as you profit.
Is a consistency rule bad?+
Not always, but aggressive ones (no day can be more than X% of total profits) force you to over-trade on slow days or skip good setups. I call these out on each firm's card.
What's the algo Discord?+
A live signal feed from my tick-data orderflow bot. Free while in beta. Details on /community.
How often are rules and promos updated?+
Promos: checked daily. Rules: checked whenever a firm announces a change, and a full audit monthly. Each firm page shows its last-updated date.
Can I request a firm be added?+
Yes. Email hello@propdash.example or DM me in Discord. Serious firms only — no one-week-old operations.
Is this financial advice?+
No. It's a comparison. You're responsible for your own trading decisions. See the disclaimer in the footer.
