Prop Firm Challenge Planner
Compare user-entered profit-target progress, qualifying trading days, and daily and overall loss allowances in one worksheet. The planner has no provider presets and does not determine pass, breach, funding or payout status.
Enter one verified evaluation snapshot
Use exact amounts and qualifying-day counts from the current provider, program and phase terms.
Account and target
Every monetary field must use this same currency.
The starting balance or simulated capital stated for this evaluation phase.
Enter the balance, equity or closed-position value required by the target rule you verified.
A positive currency amount above the entered starting value.
Qualifying trading days
Use the provider's current definition. Zero means no minimum is entered.
Count only days that meet the independently verified rule.
Loss allowances and planned risk
Enter the exact positive amount for the current daily window.
A non-negative magnitude calculated under the verified daily rule.
Enter the current static or trailing amount you verified, without asking the page to infer it.
A non-negative magnitude calculated under the verified overall-loss rule.
The loss reserved to planned stops of positions already open; not a floating-P/L reading.
The additional account-currency loss placed beside both entered allowances.
Entered progress and allowance state
Challenge Progress 1.0.0 plus Entered Loss Budget 1.0.0.

How the entered challenge snapshot is calculated
Target progress compares the current rule-defined account value with the entered starting value and profit-target amount. Trading-day progress compares two user-entered whole-number counts. Daily and overall loss allowances are calculated separately, while the same open stop-risk reserve and planned new risk are placed beside both.
Negative loss-allowance remaining is retained as a signed shortfall. The page does not combine the four states into a pass or breach decision because additional provider rules may exist.
Worked user-entered example
| Area | Entered example | Derived snapshot |
|---|---|---|
| Target | USD 100,000 start; USD 105,000 current; USD 10,000 target | USD 5,000 remaining; 50% of entered target |
| Qualifying days | 3 completed of 4 minimum | 1 entered day remaining |
| Daily allowance | USD 5,000 limit; USD 1,000 used | Combined with the shared open and planned risk entries |
| Overall allowance | USD 10,000 limit; USD 2,000 used | Calculated independently from the daily allowance |
| Shared risk entries | USD 500 open reserve; USD 250 planned | Daily remaining USD 3,250; overall remaining USD 7,250 |
Assumptions and limits
- No provider, account size, evaluation phase, profit target, loss amount or day requirement is built in.
- The page does not know whether a rule uses balance, equity, closed positions, unrealized P/L, commissions, swaps, static drawdown, trailing drawdown or a high-water mark.
- The page has no clock and does not infer reset time, timezone, trading session or what qualifies as a trading day.
- Consistency, best-day, inactivity, permitted product, position-size, news-trading, holding, strategy, platform and payout rules remain outside the result.
- Open stop-risk reserve is not a floating-P/L reading or a prediction that a stop will be reached. Gaps and execution beyond entered amounts remain outside the result.
- Target, day and allowance states do not establish pass, breach, funding, payout, suitability or probability.
Frequently asked questions
- It calculates user-entered profit-target progress, qualifying-day progress, and separate daily and overall loss-budget states in one account currency.
- No. It does not know every provider rule or account event. The four displayed states are arithmetic checks, not a pass, breach, funding or payout determination.
- Rules can differ by provider, product, phase, platform and date. Enter exact amounts and definitions from the current official terms for the account being reviewed.
- Enter the balance, equity or closed-position value required by the specific profit-target rule you verified. The planner cannot select that definition for you.
- The same user-entered open stop-risk reserve and planned new risk are added to both the daily and overall loss-used amounts to show two separate projected budget states.
- It has no price or account feed. Include any floating loss only inside the loss-used amount when the exact verified rule requires it, without counting the same amount twice.
- You enter whole-number counts using the provider's current definition. The page does not infer sessions, time zones, minimum activity or whether a day qualifies.
- Official provider pages show that target, loss, trading-day and consistency mechanics can differ and can change. Recheck the exact program and phase before relying on an entered snapshot.
