Your prop firm trader checklist

You're in · Your free checklist

Here's the checklist.

This is the checklist — five sections, twenty-three checkboxes, one page. Print it. Tape it next to your monitor. Run it before every session.

We also emailed a copy to the address you signed up with — check your inbox and your Promotions tab. The email is a bookmark for later; the checklist below is the real thing.

01 · BEFORE THE EVAL

  • I have chosen a specific prop firm and account size.
  • I know whether my firm uses trailing or end-of-day drawdown — and what that means for me.
  • I have written trading rules — max size, max daily loss, allowed setups.
  • My personal daily loss limit is 40% of my firm's limit.
  • My per-trade risk is 1% or less of the account.

02 · BEFORE EACH SESSION

  • I have run my pre-market checklist (news, key levels, VIX).
  • I know today's high-impact news release times.
  • I feel sharp — not tired, tilted, or distracted. If not, I do not trade today.

03 · DURING EACH TRADE

  • The setup matches one of my named setups — not a discretionary invention.
  • Position size fits my written risk rules.
  • Stop is placed at logic — not comfort.
  • I did not add to a losing position.
  • I did not move the stop against me. Ever.

04 · AFTER EACH SESSION

  • I completed the 90-second session review.
  • After 2 consecutive losses: I paused 15 minutes.
  • After 3 consecutive losses: session over. No exceptions.
  • Daily loss limit hit? Platform closed for the day.

05 · WEEKLY

  • I reviewed the week's trades.
  • I identified my best and worst setup by expectancy.
  • I named one behavior to change next week.
