Would your trading pass these rules?
The pass rate calculator runs your win rate and trade sizes against every firm's evaluation at once. Or filter by another rule: have no consistency rule · have no daily loss limit · have no activation fee · full comparison.
End-of-day or intraday: which would you pass?
The same trading can pass an end-of-day drawdown and fail an intraday one. TradeHarbor replays your own trades against every plan to show the difference.
