Prop Challenge Manager Solution

The Prop Challenge Manager is a specialized back-office ecosystem designed for the modern prop trading industry. It provides the technological framework required to create, market, and manage trading evaluations. Whether you are running a single-phase "instant funding" model or a traditional two-phase evaluation, this solution automates the monitoring of complex trading rules, allowing you to focus on marketing and community building.

This software acts as the "referee" for your prop firm. It continuously scans every trade executed on your connected MT4, MT5, or cTrader servers to ensure adherence to profit targets and drawdown limits. By removing manual intervention, you eliminate human error and provide traders with instant feedback on their performance, creating a professional and trustworthy environment.
