Challenge Days Calculator

Work out roughly how many trading days it'll realistically take to pass your prop firm challenge — and whether your risk per trade is sized sensibly for the drawdown rules — before you pay for it.

Simplifications: this models fixed % risk per trade against your starting balance (not compounding), treats any drawdown or daily-loss breach as an immediate fail, ignores minimum-trading-day and consistency rules, and caps the simulation horizon at 90 trading days. Real rules vary by account size and change over time — always verify current terms directly with the firm before paying for a challenge. This tool does not constitute financial advice.
