Free prop firm pass checklist

What's inside

• Rule sheet — ten rules to copy from the firm's own page before you pay: drawdown type and lock point, daily limit (fail or pause), consistency, news, fees.
• The math — your drawdown measured in losing trades, the target in winning trades, the consistency rule worked through (one $2,000 day on a 55% rule means $3,637 of total profit before you can pass), and the real expected cost of getting funded.
• Session checklist — before the open, during the session, after the close.
• Quick reference — published rules for 11 common evaluations as checked on 1 Oct 2026, and the seven ways evaluations usually end.

Questions

Is the prop firm checklist really free?

Yes. The PDF downloads directly from this page with no email address, account, or card. Print it or copy it into your own journal.

Which prop firms does the checklist cover?

The rule sheet and daily checklist work for any evaluation. The quick-reference table lists published rules for Topstep, Apex, My Funded Futures, FTMO and Tradeify as checked on 1 October 2026. Firms change terms often, so confirm every number on the firm's own site before you buy.

Is this trading advice?

No. It is an educational planning checklist. It does not recommend any trade, instrument, or prop firm, and most evaluation purchases do not lead to a payout.
