Frequently Asked Questions
What is Prop Firm ROI?
ROI (Return on Investment) in the futures prop firm industry measures the profit you make from a payout compared to the total cost you risked to get that funded account. A higher ROI means you are risking less capital to achieve your target payout.
Why should I count failed evaluations?
Most futures traders do not pass their first evaluation. By inputting a realistic scenario (e.g., buying 3 evaluations and passing 1), this calculator gives you a transparent view of your actual risk and true ROI, helping you make better financial decisions.
What is an Activation Fee?
Some futures prop firms (like Apex, Bulenox, and Alpha Futures) charge a one-time activation fee or a monthly data fee once you pass the evaluation phase and move to a funded (PA) account. This fee must be factored into your Total Risk Base.
