How the profit target and trade estimate work
The dollar target is just the account size times the percent goal. The trade estimate uses expectancy — your average result per trade given win rate and reward-to-risk — then divides the target by it. If expectancy is zero or negative, the target is not reachable at those inputs.
Common prop firm profit targets
| Account size | 6% target | 8% target | 10% target |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| $50,000 | $3,000 | $4,000 | $5,000 |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $8,000 | $10,000 |
| $200,000 | $12,000 | $16,000 | $20,000 |
Frequently Asked Questions
Multiply your account size by the firm's percent goal. An 8% target on a $100,000 account is $8,000 in profit before the phase passes.
It is your average result per trade: risk multiplied by win rate times reward-to-risk, minus your loss rate. Positive expectancy means your edge tends to add up over many trades.
When expectancy is zero or negative, the math expects no net gain, so no trade count reaches the target. Raise your win rate or reward-to-risk to move it positive.
No. It is an educational estimate based on average outcomes. Real results vary trade to trade, and your firm's rules on drawdown and time can change the picture.
