Futures prop challenge simulator
Practise a futures combine-style evaluation on real CME 1-minute data. Pick a $25K, $50K or $100K account, choose intraday or end-of-day trailing drawdown, and trade NQ, ES, YM or GC (or their micros) bar by bar with exact tick values and commissions.
Account tiers
| Account | Profit target | Trailing drawdown | Daily loss limit | Max position |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,500 | $500 | 2 Minis / 20 Micros |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,000 | 5 Minis / 50 Micros |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | 10 Minis / 100 Micros |
Every futures account needs at least 2 trading days, and your best day may be at most 50% of total profit (consistency rule). You choose intraday or end-of-day trailing drawdown; both lock at the starting balance.
Contracts and costs
| Contract | Tick | Tick value | Commission (round turn) |
|---|---|---|---|
| NQ · E-mini Nasdaq-100 | 0.25 | $5.00 | $4.20 |
| MNQ · Micro Nasdaq-100 | 0.25 | $0.50 | $1.10 |
| ES · E-mini S&P 500 | 0.25 | $12.50 | $4.20 |
| MES · Micro S&P 500 | 0.25 | $1.25 | $1.10 |
| YM · E-mini Dow | 1 | $5.00 | $4.20 |
| MYM · Micro Dow | 1 | $0.50 | $1.10 |
| GC · Gold | 0.10 | $10.00 | $4.20 |
| MGC · Micro Gold | 0.10 | $1.00 | $1.10 |
Position limits count 1 Mini as 10 Micros. Slippage on market and stop orders is a setting (in ticks), and market orders can fill at the current close or the next bar's open.
Session rules
Futures data: 1-minute bars of the CME front-month contract from November 2024 to today, updated on trading days. Positions are flattened at 4:59 PM ET unless you turn on Swing Mode, and the trading day rolls at the 6:00 PM ET session open.
How it works
- Pick an evaluation. A futures account tier or a percentage-based program, with its profit target, drawdown and daily loss limit.
- Pick a market and dates. Choose a start and end date (or a random one so you can't remember what happened). The chart is cut at the start; the future stays hidden.
- Trade the replay. Step one 1-minute bar at a time or play at 1x–10x. Market, limit and stop orders, optional stop loss and take profit you can drag on the chart.
- Pass or fail honestly. Break a rule and the account is liquidated at the exact price, like a real evaluation. Hit the target with enough trading days and consistency and you pass.
