Practical workflow
PropMinMax works best as a funnel: eliminate bad fits, rank the survivors, inspect the tradeoffs, then track whether the decision produced a funded account and a payout.
The buying workflow
Choose an account size, then use quick filters for your real non-negotiables: no intraday drawdown, no withdrawal caps, buffer access, payout speed, or price.
Rule of thumb: Filter first. Do not use weights to rescue an account that violates a hard rule.
Open Weights and start with the preset closest to your goal. All weights add up to 100%. Raising one automatically lowers the others.
Rule of thumb: Change two or three priorities at first. Extreme weights are useful only when the tradeoff is truly extreme for you.
Select two to four accounts and compare payout difficulty, payout caps, drawdown, DLL, qualifying days, and whether a payout can enter the buffer.
Rule of thumb: The highest score is a starting point. Read the rule differences that created it.
Choose the exact pricing option and use the attempt multiplier to model resets or repeat evaluations. Payout-to-cost updates with the modeled cost.
Rule of thumb: A cheap attempt can be expensive if the rules produce repeated failures.
Add the account to Tracker and log purchases, resets, renewals, activation fees, passes, failures, and payouts. The Business page turns those events into your own operating data.
Rule of thumb: Clean inputs matter more than perfect analysis. Log the event when it happens.
Priority weights
A weight tells the ranking how much you care about something. Raising one makes that rule matter more and automatically lowers the others. All weights add up to 100%. Turning one off removes it from the ranking.
Rewards easier drawdown and payout structures
Intraday trailing, DLLs, consistency rules, and payout friction lose ground.
Rewards a shorter path to cash
Long evaluations and slow first-payout rules lose ground.
Rewards higher payout limits and better withdrawal rules
Higher-cost accounts can still win when they give you a much better chance to pull out more money.
Rewards a lower barrier and more scaling room
Expensive accounts need stronger rules or payout capacity to compensate.
A 14% weight is not meaningfully more correct than 13%. Use the sliders to express clear preferences and watch whether the same firms remain near the top across reasonable settings.
How I use the tracker
This simple routine keeps the numbers honest and gives PropMinMax enough context to show what is actually helping or hurting your results.
After buying an account from the firm, add it on the Accounts page. Put the firm account ID or account name in the Nickname field so you can match the PropMinMax record to the real account later.
If an account reaches funded and is later lost, use Close instead of Fail. Fail is for an evaluation that never made it through. Reaching funded is a win even when that funded account does not last.
When you reset or fail an evaluation, add a quick note such as “oversized,” “greedy,” “emotional,” or “news.” A few honest words are enough for the analyzer to spot repeated mistakes and useful patterns later.
When you get paid, add the payout amount and date. That keeps your costs, results, and profit accurate—and you get to watch the confetti.
Business dashboard
How much did you spend, and what did it cost on average to get one funded account?
How many accounts passed, got funded, and paid you at least once?
Which firms and account sizes paid you the most after all your costs?
These averages include accounts that are still in progress. If you buy several evaluations before they pass or fail, your average cost may go up for a while. That shows how much you have actually spent trying to get the next funded account or payout.
