WHAT'S INSIDE THE 1-PAGER

The exact five categories we walk through — each with a checkbox you can fill in before day one.

• 01
  Read the rules twice Total drawdown vs daily drawdown, and which one is the silent killer. Most evaluatees skim past the daily limit on first read — and lose a funded account to it inside week one.
• 02
  Compute your drawdown math before day one The simple table: starting balance × trailing drawdown rule × your planned size. If the worst-case is below 30% of your target profit, your position sizing is wrong for that firm.
• 03
  Pick your consistency rule FTMO, Apex, Topstep, MFF each define "consistency" differently — and one bad day can wipe a 5-day run. The checklist shows the rule per firm + a guardrail position-size formula that always fits.
• 04
  Weekend & overnight holding by firm Some firms auto-close at 4:59 ET. Some charge a flat overnight fee. Some ban it outright. The checklist shows the side-by-side so you can build your schedule around the rule, not after it.
• 05
  Pre-fund checklist & day-1 plan Login, KYC steps, broker portal, payout eligibility, and the 7 things every funded trader forgets before flipping the switch the first morning.
