Scaling Plan

While Breakout Prop doesn't outline a specific scaling plan, successful traders who consistently perform well are typically given access to larger account sizes. This allows them to continue growing their profits as they maintain risk management discipline and adhere to the firm’s trading rules.

Spreads and News Trading Rules

Spreads

Breakout Prop offers access to tight spreads and a visible order book depth, giving traders an edge in competitive markets. Their trading platform sources liquidity from top-tier centralized exchanges, ensuring minimal slippage and maximum efficiency.

News Trading Rules

News trading is fully allowed, but traders should be aware that spreads tend to widen during high-volatility events. Liquidity may fluctuate due to third-party market maker reactions, which could affect the execution of simulated trades, especially with market orders. This is not a flaw in Breakout Prop’s system but a reflection of general market behavior.

Other Important Rules

Daily Drawdown Calculation

Daily Drawdown is calculated based on equity or balance whichever is higher at the end of the day and it will keep updating at the end of the day. Daily drawdown updates everyday at 17:00 EST. Due to the nature of Equity based drawdown, Traders must understand that their drawdown limit will keep changing based on the PnL of their equity or balance and can grow or shrink.
