Risk Management at your fingertips

Built for traders,

Profitability Calculator

Find the size that
survives the bad run.

Most traders pick a position size and hope. RiskDesk runs 4,000 Monte Carlo paths per cell against your win rate, your reward:risk and your drawdown tolerance, then solves for the largest fixed risk whose 95th-percentile drawdown still fits inside that tolerance.

Pass probability for every risk × R combination, on a real prop firm rule set
Median trades to pass — fewer trades means less exposure to the barrier
Equity curve with a 95% confidence band across 20 simulations
Outcome levels from best case to worst, so you can see the spread you are signing up for
Risk of ruin, profit factor, expectancy, longest win and loss runs, full Kelly
Drawdown vs position size, with the point where one bad sequence ends the attempt

Read the trend across a row, not the gap between two neighbouring cells. Position size is lumpy relative to the target: at 3% risk a single winner covers half the profit, so two good trades can finish an attempt that a smaller size would have to grind out over weeks. Simulated figures for a $50K evaluation at a 60% win rate.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: The figures in this section are simulated. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results, and all of which can adversely affect trading results.

Edge Optimiser

You already have
an edge. Where?

Your trade history knows which conditions pay you. The Edge Optimiser buckets every trade by the market state it was taken in and the setup you took, then reports win rate, per-trade expectancy, net P&L and count for each bucket — so the answer comes from your own results rather than your memory of them.

Market state × setup matrix: trend, tight range and consolidation, with or against the move
Switch any cell between win rate, per trade, net P&L and trade count
Breakdowns by hold time, day of week and hour of day
Cells holding fewer than five trades are greyed — a rate off a handful of trades is noise, not a finding
Names your style from the data: continuation or reversal, whichever earns more of your money
Reads the entry date, so re-imported history buckets against the conditions you actually traded

Edge Analysis · Win rate · Simulated example · 200 trades

Setup	Trend ↑	Trend ↓	T.Range ↑	T.Range ↓	Consol ↔

Reversalagainst it	41%17 trades	44%12 trades	57%14 trades	67%3 trades	61%20 trades

Simulated example data, not results from a real account. In this example, continuation trades carry the trends but leak in consolidation — 38% against 61% for reversals in the same condition. That is the kind of pattern the matrix is built to surface in your own history. The greyed cell holds three trades and is deliberately not treated as a finding.

Trader's Edge

Which prop firm challenge
is actually worth taking?

47 prop firm evaluation plans with the rules they really run — drawdown type, daily limits, consistency, minimum days — ranked by expected payout per dollar of fee. It measures the rules, not the firm, and it shows you the traps before you pay for one.

Top eight of 47. Rules verified September 2026 — firms change terms frequently and vary by platform and promotion, so check the figures against your own contract before sizing anything.

What Edge means

Simulate a reference trader — 55% win rate at 1R, +0.10R per trade
Run them against each plan's own rules, sweeping position size for the best result
Report expected payout per dollar of fee
A 23× plan is not twenty-three times better than a 17× one — it is the ranking that matters, and the gap between the top of this table and the bottom of the 47 is the part worth caring about
Star ratings are other people's opinion and are kept out of it deliberately

How hard is it really

PT:DD is the profit target over the drawdown allowance — how much you must make per dollar of rope you are given
At 100% you have as much room to lose as you need to make. At 200% the target is twice the rope
True cost: a monthly plan re-bills roughly every 21 trading days, so a $49/month evaluation that takes three months costs $147 — and Edge is computed on that, not the sticker price
A high profit split on a plan you are unlikely to pass is worth less than a lower split you will

Rule traps worth avoiding

Trailing drawdown follows your high-water mark, so a winner you gave back can fail the account even while you are up on the day
A daily limit marked “!” fails the account outright rather than locking you out until tomorrow — a completely different rule wearing the same name
Minimum trading days keep you taking trades after you have already hit the target, which is exactly when there is nothing left to gain and a limit left to breach
Consistency rules that bind during the evaluation are shown here; ones that only bind at payout are not, and they are the ones that hold your money
Multi-phase plans are modelled on phase one only, so those pass rates are an upper bound — phase two is still ahead of you
