Operator record

The rules on this site were not read from the outside.

Everything the lab publishes about prop firm rules stands on its method and its data, and you can check both. This page answers a smaller question that the method cannot answer: whether the person who wrote it has sat inside these systems herself.

What this is, and what it is not

These are records of completed evaluations, funded-account milestones and payouts from simulated funded accounts. They are published for context, not as a performance claim.

They do not establish long-term profitability, they do not describe how any account is trading now, and they are not an indication of what any other trader should expect. Nothing on this page is a reason to buy anything. The research is, and it is published in full with its method and its code.

Evaluations and funded accounts

Five firms, five different rule systems. That is the part that matters here: a trailing drawdown at one firm is not the trailing drawdown at another, and the breakdowns on this site were written with that difference in hand.

withdrawn from My Funded Futures between 27 Aug 2024 and 8 May 2026, as one cumulative figure on the firm’s own certificate. These are payouts from simulated funded accounts, which is how this firm operates, so the money is real and the market exposure is not.

Why this is on the site at all

The lab publishes figures measured from real futures bars, and every one of them is checkable: the sample, the method and the code are on the page beside the number. That is where its credibility is supposed to come from, and it is the only place a reader should take it from.

But the prop firm breakdowns make a different kind of claim. They say a rule behaves a certain way in practice, that a trailing drawdown moves at a moment the dashboard does not show you, that a consistency cap is measured against a base most people never check. A dataset cannot demonstrate that the writer has been through it. This page can, and that is all it is for.

Name on the certificates: Michal Peretz, who runs the lab. One QR code has been blurred because it resolves to a private account record. Nothing else has been altered.
