Prop trading is a business. Treat the numbers like one.
Passing evaluations is only half the job. The other half is knowing what each account cost, what it paid and which firms are worth buying again. FundedGuide is built to answer that.
The problem: nobody tracks the whole picture
Every firm has its own prices, drawdown rules and payout terms. Run a few accounts and the fees, resets and payouts end up scattered across emails and spreadsheets. It becomes hard to say whether you are ahead or behind, and which firm deserves your next evaluation.
What we built
Research pages that compare Apex Trader Funding, Lucid Trading and Tradeify on one set of data, calculators for drawdown, payouts and cost, and a dashboard that tracks every account, fee and payout and shows how close each account is to its drawdown floor. The Funding Blueprint is a rule-based planner, not a promise of results.
Who is behind it
FundedGuide is built by a futures trader who has bought and tracked over 150 evaluations across Apex, Tradeify and Lucid and publishes every result, good and bad, on the 100x Challenge page. The tool is what that trader needed and could not find.
How we stay honest
We earn commissions from some firms, and we say so on every page where it matters. Read the methodology, editorial policy and affiliate disclosure.
