EOD vs Real-time trailing
End-of-day (EOD) drawdown locks in at market close — you get your P&L back each day. Real-time trailing is much tighter and moves against you during intraday drawdown. Know which one you're dealing with.
The consistency rule trap
Topstep's 40% rule and FTMO's consistency score catch traders who size up on one trade and blow the evaluation. Your best day can't be more than 40% of your total profit. FundedOps tracks this automatically.
Minimum trading days
Some firms have a minimum trading day requirement before you can request a payout or pass evaluation. MFF has no minimum — you can pass on day 1. FTMO requires 10 trading days in Phase 1.
Stop tracking rules manually
FundedOps loads your firm's rules automatically. You trade, import, and we check the limits and email you when you're near one.
