A prop firm earns trust one way: the rules work the same for every trader, every time. If a breach is caught late, a trader argues and a founder loses credibility. So the strong foundation is an executor that judges each account on every price tick. This guide shows what to look for and how a founder anywhere in Europe can launch on that foundation in 2026. ## What "checked on every tick" means Some platforms check rules on a timer, say once a minute. Between checks, price can move through a loss limit and back. The trader and the firm then disagree about what happened. A tick-based engine removes the gap. Every price update triggers a check of every account against its rules. PropExecutor works this way: the rule engine judges every account on every price tick, not on a timer. For a new firm, that means one standard for all traders. You do not need to explain edge cases, because the engine does not have any. ## The rules a strong firm needs A reliable firm needs a full rule set that it can change without breaking live accounts. Here is what PropExecutor gives you. - Daily loss limit and maximum loss limit - Profit target and trailing drawdown - Minimum trading days and max open positions - Max lot size, hedging, orders per day and inactivity - Custom rules Each rule can breach the account, reject the order, or flag it. That lets you choose a hard stop for a loss limit and a soft flag for something you only want to watch. Rule sets are versioned. An account keeps the exact rule version it was created with, so editing a rule set never changes existing accounts. Your early traders keep the terms they bought. For more on this, read about the [prop firm rule engine](https://www.propexecutor.com/prop-firm-rule-engine) and the [trailing drawdown](https://www.propexecutor.com/glossary/trailing-drawdown) glossary entry. ## Prices and the trader's terminal Traders need a terminal that feels professional. PropExecutor provides a branded web trading terminal. Traders log in with Account Number, Password and Server. The terminal has a watchlist, a price chart with history back to 2000 for FX and metals, an order ticket, positions, history and a live view of the account's rule headroom. Traders see how close they are to a limit before they place the next order. Prices are live for 50+ instruments: forex majors, crosses and exotics, gold, silver, palladium, oil, natural gas, 12 stock indices, Bitcoin and Ethereum. Orders are simulated against those live prices. Nothing is routed to a broker, exchange or liquidity provider, because PropExecutor is a simulator built for evaluations. ## Launching from anywhere in Europe PropExecutor serves founders in every country, so a founder in Berlin, Madrid, Warsaw or Lisbon starts the same way. The terminal is a web app, so traders in any European country open it in a browser. The launch steps are short: 1. Choose a plan and pay once. 2. Set your branding: firm name, logos, colours, login screen and support links. 3. Build a rule set and create accounts in the admin panel, up to 5,000 at once. 4. Assign traders by name and email. Traders never sign up with PropExecutor. You can also run the terminal on your own domain, which makes the firm look established from day one. See [how to launch a branded firm in a day](https://www.propexecutor.com/blog/launch-a-branded-prop-firm). ## What it costs Plans are one-time payments. There is no setup fee, no monthly platform fee and no revenue share. | Plan | One-time price | Accounts | Per account | |---|---|---|---| | Starter | $129 | 50 | $2.58 | | Basic | $499 | 250 | $2.00 | | Professional | $829 | 500 | $1.66 | | Growth | $1,799 | 1,250 | $1.44 | Account credits never expire. Each trading account created uses one credit, permanently. You can add top-up packs of 100, 500 or 1,000 accounts at your plan's per-account rate. The simulated starting balance does not change the cost, so a $5K account and a $100K account each use one credit. To upgrade, you buy the higher plan at full price and receive its full credits, and unused credits carry over. ## Running the firm day to day The admin panel lets you assign and reassign traders, rotate passwords, manually breach an account and view analytics. Rotating a password, reassigning or archiving an account ends every live terminal session for it immediately. A built-in trader CRM is included on every plan. It keeps every trader with the accounts they hold, their status, capital, pass rate, recent trades and rule warnings, updated by the rule engine as things happen. When you are ready to automate, the REST API is included on every plan. Webhooks tell your systems when an account breaches or passes, and a WebSocket API streams real-time account events. Accounts are created in the admin panel, and your backend then assigns them to buyers over the API. Start with the [API docs](https://www.propexecutor.com/docs). Plan limits grow with you. Starter has 3 rule sets with 6 rules each. Basic has 15 sets. Professional has 40 sets plus full dev solutions and a dedicated account manager. Growth is unlimited. ## Your next step Try the live demo account on the website to watch the rule headroom move on a live price. Then compare plans on the [pricing page](https://www.propexecutor.com/pricing) and pick the account count that matches your first launch. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does tick-by-tick checking mean for a prop firm? It means the rule engine runs a check on every account each time a price updates, instead of on a timer. A loss limit crossed for a moment is caught at once. Every trader is judged by the same standard, which keeps disputes rare. ### Can I launch from any European country? Yes. PropExecutor serves founders in every country, and the terminal is a web app that opens in a browser. A founder in any European country follows the same steps: pick a plan, brand the terminal, create accounts and assign traders. ### How much does it cost to begin? The Starter plan is $129 one time for 50 trading accounts, which is $2.58 per account. There is no setup fee, no monthly platform fee and no revenue share, so the cost stays fixed as you grow. ### Will changing my rules affect existing traders? No. Rule sets are versioned, and each account keeps the exact version it was created with. You can edit a rule set for new accounts without touching the terms of traders who already bought. ### Is PropExecutor a broker? No. PropExecutor is a simulator. Orders run against live market prices, and nothing is routed to a broker, exchange or liquidity provider. It is built for evaluations. ### Can I put my own brand and domain on the terminal? Yes. The terminal can run on your own domain, and branding covers firm name, logos, colours, login screen and support links. Starter includes the firm name, dark logo and accent colour. Professional and Growth also hide the PropExecutor badge.
