Prop firm profiles

Find your prop firm, choose the program and account size you bought, and keep its listed rules beside your accounts.

A prop firm profile is one firm’s rules for one program and account size, such as FTMO’s Standard Challenge 2-Steps at 100K: the profit target, daily loss, maximum loss, profit split and payout frequency. Prop firm profiles lists 68 firms and 1,656 profiles across forex and CFDs, futures, crypto and perpetuals. Save the ones you trade or are considering, and keep one beside the account you trade with that firm.

Saved profiles are for reference. AO doesn’t check your orders against them. The limits it does check are the account’s own rules.

From Accounts to a saved FTMO Standard Challenge 2-Steps 100K profile: search for the firm, choose the program and size, read the rules, tick the box and add the profile.

Open the library

Open Accounts and click Prop firm profiles at the top right. Back to accounts returns you to your account list.

Prop firm profiles page with Find your firm, the Search all firms box, the market filters, firm cards with logos and profile counts, and an empty Your saved profiles panel

Under Find your firm, type a name into Search all firms… or pick a market: All markets, Forex / CFD, Futures, Crypto or Perpetuals. Firms are listed A to Z with their logo, their markets and how many profiles they have. A firm that sells accounts in more than one market shows each. The first twelve firms are listed. Show all lists the rest.

Choose a profile

  1. Click your firm.
  2. Under Program, choose the program you bought, for example FTMO - Standard Challenge - 2-Steps. Leave All programs to list every profile the firm has.
  3. Under Account profile and size, choose the one shown in your firm dashboard, such as the 100K account.

The profile’s rules appear below, with its market, its account size and the date the listing was Captured.

Each rule says where its figure comes from:

  • Headline cross-checked: the figure also matches the firm’s own published rules. Official rule source opens that page.
  • As listed on Prop Firm Match: the figure comes from the Prop Firm Match comparison listing.

Firm sources and verification lists the Prop Firm Match listing and the firm’s own pages, with the date each was retrieved. These are headline figures. They don’t settle how a firm calculates a loss limit, when its trading day resets, which version of its rules applies to the date you bought, or which strategies it restricts, so read your firm’s own rules before you trade. Firms change their terms, so confirm the currency, phase and add-ons in your firm dashboard too.

All firms takes you back to the full list.

Automatic protection

Saving a profile, on its own or with an account, never changes the account’s rules or holds back an order. Every profile shows Reference profile · automatic protection unavailable: AO doesn’t yet enforce a prop firm’s rules for you. To have AO check orders against limits, set them in the account’s rules.
