How to Ask Prop Firm Rule Questions
Verdict: The best prop firm question names one firm, one program, and one rule. Broad comparison questions usually hide the detail that matters.
The Best Prompt Shape
Use this structure:
| Part | Example |
| Firm | FTMO, Topstep, Funding Pips. |
| Program | 1-step, 2-step, Trading Combine, funded stage. |
| Market | CFD, futures, crypto. |
| Rule area | Daily drawdown, payout, news, weekend, EA, copy trading. |
| Action | Buy, skip, compare, verify, trade. |
Good Questions
- Does this program allow weekend holding in the funded stage?
- Is the total drawdown static or trailing?
- What is the first payout wait and what conditions apply?
- Is news trading allowed, restricted, or profit-excluded?
- Can I use an EA or copier without violating account allocation rules?
Use Internal Profiles First
Start from a firm profile, then ask about one rule:
