Most failed evaluations are rule violations, not bad strategies.
Daily-DD breach. Late news entry. Best-day cap exceeded. Min-days missed. Weekend hold. The strategy is usually fine — the rules just aren't watched in real time. Ticpoz is built to make those checks automatic so a clean strategy can pass cleanly.
Phase-1 / Phase-2 targets tracked live; the engine reports current % vs target every order so you can see progress at a glance.
Common limits are 5% / 4% / 3% depending on the firm. The engine is designed to halt new entries and flatten before the daily limit is breached.
10% / 8% / 6% depending on the firm. Hard kill-switch — strategy is disarmed and you receive a notification.
4 / 5 / 10 days depending on the firm. The engine paces position closes so an evaluation does not finish before the minimum day count.
Some firms restrict trading around high-impact news. Our news kill-switch can be auto-configured per firm rule.
Best-day caps (e.g. no single day > 50% of total profit) are tracked, warned on approach, and can be enforced before a violation.
Per-firm max lot per trade and aggregate exposure caps — checked pre-trade before any order is routed.
For firms that ban overnight or weekend holds, the engine flattens N minutes before the configured close.
Curated list. Verified May 2026.
Each firm below is currently operating and currently allows expert-advisor or API-driven trading on at least one account type per their public terms. Always re-read the firm's own current rules before paying for an evaluation — terms change, and the firm's published rules are what counts.

Per-firm rule plugin. Built from each firm's published rules.
The plugin knows whether you're on Phase-1, Phase-2, or Funded. Rules switch automatically when you advance.
Live percentage to profit target, trading days remaining, daily DD used, max DD used.
Reminds you when you've satisfied min trading days and consistency requirements before you request a payout.
Strategies tied to a prop account inherit that firm's rules. Cannot accidentally over-trade across accounts.
Run different firms on different accounts. Strategies stay portable; rule plugins apply per-account.
When the firm restricts trading around news, the kill-switch is pre-set with the firm's definition.
From challenge to funded, with the engine helping you watch the rules.
