MAV tracks these rules against your actual account
These tables are the research behind a feature. Add your evaluation or funded account to MAV and it prefills the rules for your firm and plan — including the lock point — then tracks your balance against them as you log trades, so you can see how much room you actually have left rather than working it out on a notepad. You can edit any rule that differs from your own terms.
Not affiliated. MAV by Market Mavericks is an independent journaling and analytics tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any firm named on this page. Company and product names are the property of their respective owners and are used here only to identify whose published rules are being described.
Check the date. Every plan links to the page it was read from, with the date it was checked — here, October 6, 2026. Prop firm rules change frequently and often without notice, and firms may apply different terms to accounts opened before a change. Treat the date as part of the number and confirm anything decision-critical with the firm directly before you rely on it.
Not advice. Nothing on this page is financial, investment or trading advice, a recommendation of any firm or plan, or a statement about whether you would pass an evaluation or receive a payout. MAV does not rank these firms. Trading futures carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor.
