How to train for a real prop firm challenge — using Tradelog's virtual simulator
The 7 rules top funded traders drill inside our virtual sandbox before they pay $100+ for a real evaluation. All zero-risk.
Tradelog's paper simulator mirrors the exact rulebook of FTMO, MyForexFunds, FundedNext and our own MFTC template — daily loss cap, max drawdown, min trading days, news lock, weekend hold, 30% consistency rule. Practice these seven habits and your first real evaluation becomes trivial.
1. Never risk more than 0.5% per trade during the first phase. The math punishes you for anything above 1%.
2. Front-load the target. Aim for 60% of the target in the first 8 days so bad days later don't blow the timeline.
3. No trades within 5 minutes of red-folder news. Our news-lock enforces this — it's cheaper to learn it here than in a live account.
4. Close before the daily loss ceiling gets close. Simulator flags you at 80% of the daily limit.
5. Watch the 30% consistency rule. A single windfall day > 30% of your total profit disqualifies you from payout.
6. Weekend holds cost you. Simulator will auto-close them and mark a rule break on your discipline score.
7. Run the simulator for 10 real trading days minimum before paying for the real challenge. If you can't pass ours, don't buy theirs.
