DEEPER BREAKDOWNView results for each strategy separately＋
The headline leaderboard averages every metric equally across these three deliberately modest edges. Expand a profile to inspect its top challenges independently.
Read before you rank
Transparent inputs.
Useful comparisons.
No promises.
Canonical rule simulation
Challenges run through the same firm-rule lifecycle used by Futures Prop Sim research, including evaluation, fees, payout gates and drawdown behavior.
Affiliate disclosure
We may earn a commission when you purchase through links to listed firms. That commercial relationship never changes simulation inputs or rank order.
Research, not advice
All figures are model estimates, not forecasts. Firm rules and prices change; verify current terms directly before purchasing.
