FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which tools do I need to pass a prop firm challenge?
None is mandatory. Most traders use at least a charting platform (TradingView is free) and a journal to analyse their trades. Copiers then help manage several accounts.
Do these tools work with every prop firm?
No: it depends on the platforms the prop firm offers (MetaTrader, cTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, ProjectX…). Each tool's compatibility is listed on its page.
Do I have to pay from the start?
No. TradingView, Bookmap, Quantower, Tradervue and FX Replay have a free version, and most others offer a trial.
Do you have promo codes for tools?
Not yet: we are negotiating discounts with the vendors. They will appear on the tool pages once validated.
