Trade The Pool drawdown: percentages of buying power, not of cash

Trade The Pool quotes its rules against buying power, not against a cash balance. To practice it, set your starting balance to your buying power. On $25,000 of buying power the max drawdown floor sits at $24,000, $1,000 below the start, and it is static.

The evaluation is passed at $26,500.

There is no daily loss limit in the simulator for this rule set. Trade The Pool does have a daily limit, but it is a pause: positions are closed and the account is locked until the next day, and nothing fails. The simulator has no pause-only limit, so it is left out instead of being turned into a failure the firm would not apply.

Where this rule set is simplified

Trade The Pool's consistency rule caps how much of your profit one position may carry. BacktestingMax measures consistency by day, not by position. Computing the wrong thing and calling it the firm's rule would be worse than saying nothing, so the rule is switched off for this rule set.

The figures are also not all published by the firm itself, which the line under the table says. Treat a pass here as a sign that your trading fits the target and the max loss, and check the daily pause and the position cap yourself.

What the simulator does do properly is the part that ends most attempts anywhere: a fixed loss floor against live equity, on real stock history, with a verdict at the end.

Risk check: at 0.5% a trade ($125) on a 25K TTP Day Flex, 8 full losses in a row reach the $1,000 max loss, and 6 winners at 2R reach the $1,500 target. Plain arithmetic from a fresh account. On the page you can change the account size and the risk.

What the simulator covers

The Day Trade Flex profit target and max loss, as percentages of your buying power
A static max loss, checked against live equity at every replay step
A trading day that rolls at midnight New York time
No minimum days and no time limit

What it does not cover

The daily pause. At the firm it closes your positions for the day without failing you, so it is not enforced
The consistency rule. It caps a single position, and the simulator measures days, so it is switched off
The Max variant, with its time limit and tighter cap, is not built in
Short-selling restrictions, locates and the funded stage are not simulated

Trade The Pool practice questions

Is there a free way to practice the Trade The Pool evaluation?

Prop firm mode is free on every BacktestingMax plan. Stocks and ETFs are part of Premium, so on the free plan you run the same rules on gold or forex. BacktestingMax is an independent simulator and is not connected to Trade The Pool.

What should I enter as the starting balance?

Your buying power, not a cash amount. Trade The Pool quotes its target and max loss as percentages of buying power, so that is the number the percentages have to be applied to.

Why is there no daily loss limit in this rule set?

Because at the firm it is a pause, not a failure: positions are closed and the account is locked until the next day. The simulator can only fail an attempt on a daily limit, and doing that here would end runs the firm would let continue.

Can I practice on real US stocks?

Yes. BacktestingMax has US stocks and ETFs with historical data, as part of Premium.

Are these the current Trade The Pool rules?

They were checked on the date shown above the table, and some figures are not published by the firm itself. Confirm the numbers with Trade The Pool before you buy an evaluation.

BacktestingMax is an independent trading simulator. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Trade The Pool. The name is used only to describe which published rules a practice session follows, and it belongs to its owner.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
