Automated Evaluation Engine Solution
The Automated Evaluation Engine is a high-performance backend module designed specifically for proprietary trading firms and investment incubators. It serves as the intelligent layer between your trading server and your client database. Its primary function is to track trader performance against specific KPIs—such as profit targets and drawdown limits—and execute account status changes instantly without human intervention.
For fintech founders and prop firm owners, this engine solves the "Friday night bottleneck" where hundreds of traders may hit their targets simultaneously. Instead of manual audits, the engine validates the trading history, checks for rule violations, and provisions the next phase account (or funded account) in seconds. This creates a superior user experience that builds trust and encourages trader retention.
- Frictionless Trader Journey: Moves users from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and eventually to "Funded" status automatically.
- Capital Protection: Real-time monitoring terminates access the millisecond a risk threshold is breached.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduces the need for a large back-office team to manually verify account equity and trade counts.
- Dynamic Objective Mapping: Easily adjust profit targets and days-traded requirements on the fly.
Platform Overview
The engine is built on a distributed architecture to ensure that trade data from multiple servers is aggregated and analyzed with zero perceptible lag.
- 99.9% — Uptime SLA for the automated transition logic.
- 30s — Average time to provision new credentials after target achievement.
- 100,000+ — Max concurrent accounts monitored per engine instance.
- 24/7 — Real-time synchronization with MT4/MT5/cTrader.
Why Automated Evaluation?
- Immediate Gratification: Successful traders are rewarded with their next account instantly, significantly increasing "hype" and brand loyalty.
- Elimination of Bias: Automated rules ensure that every trader is treated fairly based on hard data, reducing compliance disputes.
- Advanced Drawdown Tracking: Monitor complex trailing drawdowns that calculate based on high-water marks in real-time.
- Automated Credentialing: Integration with mail servers ensures the trader receives their new login details the moment they pass.
- Scalable Business Model: Manage tens of thousands of evaluation participants with the same overhead as managing ten.
- Risk Mitigation: Hard-coded logic prevents "accidental funding" of traders who have breached soft rules like news trading.
- Customizable Phases: Support for 1-step, 2-step, or infinity-step evaluation models with unique rules for each.
White Label Branding
While the engine works in the background, every touchpoint the trader sees is fully branded to your firm's identity.
- Trader Dashboard Sync: Real-time progress bars and "Objectives Met" badges update instantly on your branded client portal.
- Automated Communications: All "Phase Passed" and "Account Funded" emails are sent from your domain with your custom HTML templates.
- Certificate Issuance: Successfully passed evaluations automatically trigger the generation of a branded digital certificate for the trader.
- Custom Rule Labels: Define how rules are displayed to your users (e.g., "Daily Loss Limit" vs "Safety Buffer") within the UI.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is the transition from a demo to a funded account?
The logic processes the achievement in milliseconds. Including credential generation and email delivery, the trader typically sees their new account within 30 to 60 seconds of their last trade closing at the profit target.
Can I set different rules for different challenge types?
Absolutely. The engine allows you to create unlimited challenge profiles. You can have different drawdown, profit, and consistency rules for a $10k account versus a $200k account.
What happens if a trader breaches a rule during the transition?
If a breach is detected (e.g., a trailing drawdown hit) even at the moment the profit target is reached, the breach logic takes precedence. The engine will flag the account as "Failed" and prevent the transition.
Does this integrate with my existing prop firm website?
Yes. We provide Webhooks and APIs that your website developer can use to update the trader's dashboard and trigger "Success" notifications in real-time.
What are the minimum server requirements?
Our engine is a hosted SaaS solution, so you do not need your own servers. We only require Manager API access to your MT4/MT5 or cTrader environment. We recommend a minimum of 500 accounts for the best ROI.
Is there an audit trail for transitions?
Yes. Every single transition is logged with a detailed timestamp and a data snapshot of the account's balance, equity, and open trades at the moment the transition was triggered.
