How Prop Firm Challenges Work (And How to Not Blow the Eval)
A clear walkthrough of prop firm evaluations, common rules, and how Eldorado missions pay points when you buy challenges through partner links.
Prop firm challenges sell you a shot at trading firm capital after you pass an evaluation. You pay a fee, trade under max-loss and profit-target rules, then — if you pass — trade a funded account with profit splits.
The typical stages
- Challenge / Phase 1: hit profit target without breaching daily or overall drawdown
- Verification / Phase 2: often a second, usually softer target
- Funded: live or simulated funded account with payout rules
Why Eldorado + Finatic matter here
Buy challenges through Eldorado affiliate links to earn points on the commission. Link the resulting accounts through Finatic so you can enter size-tiered monthly competitions with verified equity — a $5k challenge account never competes with a $1M whale book.
