FAQ

Is copy trading allowed at prop firms?

Most firms ban cross-account copy trading and hedging; some (The5ers, Alpha, etc.) allow it — always check the firm's rules first.

How do journaling tools help prop traders?

They auto-calculate win rate, risk/reward, max drawdown and consistency metrics, helping you avoid best-day-ratio denials.

Are backtesting tools worth it?

Backtesting validates a strategy's statistical edge (expectancy) before real money. Start with a free plan.
