Choosing your first order-flow prop firm: the checklist
Published 6 d ago · 1 min read
Drawdown, split, payout, included tools: the 4 criteria that really matter.
Not all prop firms are equal for order flow. Before buying an evaluation, check these four points.
1. The drawdown type
The drawdown sets your margin for error. Beware the trailing drawdown, trickier than it looks.
2. The profit split
The profit split is the share you keep — often 80 to 100%. Weigh it against the eval price.
3. Payout speed
A great split is worthless if payouts are slow or uncertain. Check frequency and reliability.
4. Included tools
Make sure your order-flow tool (DeepCharts) is included, not a paid option.
