Which one should you pick?
It depends on how you trade. A trader who takes a few larger positions is exposed to a consistency rule and an intraday-trailing drawdown very differently from one who scalps small size all session; payout cadence and profit split matter more once you are funded than during the evaluation. Read both rule sets in the table above against your own average day, then confirm the current terms on The Trading Pit's site and Nexgen ProTrader Funding's site. PassTraq tracks challenges at both firms using the same rule presets shown here.
