Home / Prop Mode

Simulate the challenge before you pay for it.

Challenges cost real money and most fail on rules, not on strategy. Trandle's Prop Mode runs FTMO-style rules over your replay session and gives you the verdict — on data, not on hope.

How it works

Your strategy vs. the rules. May the data win.

Set the rules

Max daily loss (e.g. 5%), max total loss (10%), profit target (10%), minimum trading days — the presets match the big prop firms, or set your own.

Trade the replay

Run your strategy through any period of history — a calm quarter, the 2020 crash, a brutal ranging year. You choose the battlefield.

Watch the guardrails

Live counters show your distance from the daily-loss line and the max-drawdown line — the same pressure you'll feel in the real thing.

Get the verdict

PASS or FAIL, with the reason: which rule you broke, on which day, on which trade. Fix it here, where failing is free.

Why it matters

Challenges are a rules game. Train the rules.

A profitable strategy can still fail a challenge: one oversized loss on a news day, one revenge streak on a Friday. Prop Mode makes the rules visible while you trade, so discipline becomes muscle memory before money is on the line.

  • Presets for common two-step challenge structures
  • Daily loss resets tracked day by day, like the real thing
  • Equity-based drawdown, including floating P&L
  • Every simulated challenge saved — compare attempts over time

The verdict

Pass or fail — and exactly why.

No vague scores. The report names the rule, the day and the trade. Run the same strategy through five different market regimes and see where it survives.

  • Verdict with the breaking point pinpointed
  • Stats per attempt: days used, best/worst day, rule margins
  • Trades flow into your journal like any session — one workspace
PASS · 2019 Q2 · target hit day 14 worst day −1.8% · max DD 4.1% FAIL · 2020 Q1 · daily loss, day 9 −5.2% in one session · trade #23, revenge entry PASS · 2023 Q3 · target hit day 19 after halving risk on news days — lesson applied
FAQ

Prop Mode questions.

Which prop firms' rules can I simulate?

The presets cover the common two-step structure (daily loss, max loss, profit target, minimum days) used by the major firms, and every parameter is editable — if your firm's rules differ, set them exactly.

Does passing in Trandle mean I'll pass the real challenge?

No — and be suspicious of anyone who promises that. Markets change and one historical run is not a guarantee. What Prop Mode gives you is evidence: how your strategy behaves against the rules across different market conditions, and where it tends to break. That's the homework most traders skip.

Can I journal my real challenge alongside the simulations?

Yes — add your prop account as a separate account, import from MetaTrader, and compare real vs. simulated behaviour in the same analytics.

Fail here first, not with $500 on the line.

Every challenge you don't blow is money saved. Run the simulation before you write the cheque.
