Breakout vs Propr at a glance

Updated on

The short answer

Breakout is the superior choice for manual traders seeking the lowest entry prices for 1-step evaluations and static drawdown. Propr is the alternative for those who need to use automated bots or prefer the lower risk limits of a 2-step evaluation.

Where they actually differ

  • Price: Breakout is significantly cheaper across all account sizes. For example, a $100,000 1-step challenge costs $800 at Breakout compared to $999 at Propr. At the $10,000 level, Breakout is $85 vs Propr's $110.
  • Styles: Propr allows the use of bots and automated agents (with some limitations on coordination). Breakout is strictly manual; its proprietary terminal does not support MetaTrader or external EAs, and "pass-your-challenge" services are banned.
  • Risk rules: Breakout uses a static drawdown that never trails or rises with profits, even on funded accounts. Propr uses a trailing drawdown for its 2-step accounts (trailing the highest equity until it reaches the starting balance).
  • Risk rules: Propr offers both 1-step and 2-step evaluations. Breakout only offers 1-step challenges (Classic, Pro, and Turbo).
  • Payouts: Breakout offers 24/7 on-demand payouts processed within 12-24 hours. Propr offers on-demand payouts within 24 hours but lacks the explicit 24/7 weekend processing guarantee.
  • Payouts: Breakout allows an optional 90/10 profit split at purchase. Propr maintains a standard 80/20 split.

Where they are basically the same

  • Platforms: Both firms shun MetaTrader in favor of their own proprietary trading terminals.
  • Assets: Both are crypto-centric firms (using Hyperliquid for pricing/liquidity) that also offer indices and commodities.
  • Risk rules: Both firms monitor drawdown and daily limits against equity (floating P&L), not just closed balance.
  • Styles: Both allow news trading and holding positions over the weekend.
  • Payouts: Both pay exclusively in crypto (USDC) and require KYC before the funded stage.

Frequently asked questions

Which firm is cheaper for a $100,000 evaluation, Breakout or Propr?

Breakout is significantly cheaper. A $100,000 1-step Classic account at Breakout costs $800, while the equivalent Classic 1-Step at Propr costs $999. Even Breakout's "Pro" 1-step (with tighter limits) is $545, which is still lower than any $100k 1-step option at Propr.

Can I use automated trading bots in Breakout or Propr?

You can use bots in Propr, as they allow automated agents provided they don't impair platform stability or represent unoriginal "coordinated" trading. In contrast, Breakout prohibits all third-party or automated strategies; its proprietary platform is designed for manual execution and does not support external EAs.

Which firm offers a static drawdown, Breakout or Propr?

Breakout offers a static drawdown on all its accounts, meaning the limit is calculated from the starting balance and does not rise as you make profits. Propr uses a fixed floor for its 1-step accounts, but its 2-step evaluations feature a trailing drawdown that follows your highest equity until it reaches the initial balance.

Does Breakout or Propr offer 2-step evaluation challenges?

Propr offers 2-step evaluation challenges with an 8% maximum drawdown and 5% daily limit. Breakout does not offer 2-step challenges; it focuses exclusively on 1-step evaluations with maximum drawdown limits ranging from 3% to 6% depending on the chosen plan (Turbo, Pro, or Classic).

Max Drawdown

Static from the starting balance, also on funded accounts; it does not rise with profits. Measured against equity, including floating P&L: touching it closes positions and the account.

One step: fixed floor from the starting balance. Two steps: trails the highest equity, including floating profit, and stops at the starting balance. After a payout, balance and limits return to their initial reference.

Daily Drawdown

Recalculated daily at 00:30 UTC from the closed balance at that time, excluding open positions, and monitored against equity. Requesting a payout widens that day's limit by the payout amount.

Each plan's percentage of balance at 00:00 UTC. Enforced on equity, including floating P&L; touching either limit permanently closes the account.
