APOLLO ONE will help you get payouts.
Not by trading more. By trading one plan, the same way every time, on TradingView.
- One plan per setup: the entry level, the stop under real structure, and targets taken level to level.
- Size from your risk: you set the risk, and when one mini does not fit it, the size converts to the micro.
- Says when there is no trade: no setup, no plan. Your daily loss limit stays the boss.
- Any chart from 1-minute to 60-minute. A free TradingView plan is enough.

Built for traders with a drawdown line.
Free calculators for trading under evaluation and funded-account rules: size every attempt from your daily loss limit, and see where your drawdown floor actually is after every trade. Arithmetic on the numbers you type. It does not know how your trades will go.
Same limit, different floors.
Static drawdown
floor = starting balance − drawdown limit, and it never moves. A $50,000 account with a $2,000 limit has its floor at $48,000 on the first day and the last.
End-of-day trailing drawdown
At each session close, floor = max( floor, highest close − limit ). The floor follows your best closing balance up and never comes back down. What happens inside a session does not move it.
Intraday trailing drawdown
During each trade, floor = max( floor, highest balance including open gains − limit ). A trade that runs up and comes back still lifts the floor, so the room after a round trip can be smaller than when it started. See all three drawn on your own results, or read them worked on one account.
Where the floor stops
Some programs stop trailing at a set balance, and after that the floor stays put. If yours does, type that level into the simulator. If it does not say, assume it trails.
Daily loss limit
risk per attempt = daily loss limit ÷ attempts. A separate, smaller line that resets each day. Size every attempt to it.
Consistency rule
total needed = best day ÷ cap. Where a program caps the best day as a share of the total, one large day sets the total you need: with a 40% cap and a best day of $1,200.00, the total has to reach $3,000.00. Only where your program has such a rule. Work it on your own results.
Scaling plan
A table of how many contracts each balance level allows. Check it before you size, because the sizer only knows your limit and your stop.
What to look up before the first trade.
- Which drawdown rule applies: static, end-of-day trailing or intraday trailing, and whether open gains count.
- The drawdown amount, and the balance (if any) at which the floor stops rising.
- The daily loss limit, whether open losses count toward it, and whether reaching it ends the day or the account.
- Any consistency rule: the cap on the best day as a share of the total.
- Minimum trading days, and what counts as a trading day.
- Any scaling plan: how many contracts each balance level allows.
- Restricted times or events, and the hours positions must be flat.
- The date the page was last updated, because programs change these rules.
Trader’s Edge is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any prop trading firm. These pages name no firm and carry no referral link. Rules differ by program and change, so the numbers you type should always come from your program’s own, current rules page.
Sizing up after a loss
A losing trade makes the next one bigger, to win it back. That is how one day undoes a week. Size comes from the risk you set for the trade and the day, never from how the last trade went.
- Set a fixed risk per trade and a daily loss limit before the session starts, and size every trade from them.
- One position per market until you are flat. No adding to a trade that is going against you.
- After any losing exit, start a 15-minute clock: no new entry in any market until it runs out.
- Don’t size the stop to the account. Size the position to the stop.
- No trade can be a win for the account.
- The drawdown is real even when the account is simulated.
Prop trading rules, answered.
What is a trailing drawdown?
A floor under your balance that rises when the account makes a new high and never comes back down. End-of-day trailing moves it at each session close. Intraday trailing moves it during the session, open gains included. A static floor never moves. The drawdown simulator draws all three on your own results.
How should I size trades under a daily loss limit?
Decide how many attempts the day gets, divide the limit by that number, and size each attempt to its stop with costs included. With a $1,000.00 limit, 4 attempts and a 10-point MES stop, that is 4 contracts risking $206.00 per attempt.
What is a consistency rule?
A cap, in programs that have one, on how much of your total gain may come from your best day. With a 40% cap and a best day of $1,200.00, the total has to reach $1,200.00 ÷ 0.40 = $3,000.00 before the best day sits under the cap. Not every program has one, so read yours.
