# The prop firm trader experience: terminal, dashboard and rules in one login > A great prop firm trader experience: a familiar terminal, a real-time prop dashboard and the rules each trader is judged on, all behind one branded login.

A familiar terminal a trader can use immediately, a real-time dashboard showing exactly where they stand against the rules, and the rules themselves visible in the same place - all behind one branded login. If a trader can see their equity, target progress and drawdown headroom at a glance, they trust the firm and keep trading. ### What does the PropExecutor terminal include? A market watch, candlestick charts with drawing tools, a market-execution order ticket, open positions with live floating P&L, and full fill history per account - on web and mobile. It is the workflow a trader coming from MetaTrader already knows, under your brand and on your domain. ### What is the prop dashboard and why does it matter? The prop dashboard sits inside every account and shows equity, balance, progress to the profit target, daily and maximum drawdown headroom, and the frozen rule set the account is judged under - updating in real time. It answers the question traders ask most, how much room do I have left, without a support ticket. ### Does the trader see the terminal and dashboard in one place? Yes. On PropExecutor both live behind the same login - the dashboard is one tab across from the chart. A trader does not juggle separate systems for trading and for tracking their challenge; it is one coherent experience your firm brands. ### Why does the trader experience affect conversions? Traders judge a firm by what they touch. A clean, familiar terminal and a real-time dashboard signal a serious operation, while a clunky or opaque experience makes even a well-priced challenge feel risky. A good experience reduces support load and increases the chance a trader buys again. ### Is the experience the same on mobile? Yes. The terminal is available on mobile, and higher plans add a branded mobile app, so traders get the market watch, chart, order ticket and dashboard on their phone as well as the web - a consistent experience wherever they trade. ### Can traders see the rules they are being judged under? Yes. The dashboard shows the frozen rule set the account was created under - profit target, daily and maximum drawdown, minimum trading days - so a trader always knows the exact terms, and there is no ambiguity when an account passes or breaches. ### Do I have to build any of this myself? No. The terminal, the dashboard and the rules view are part of the platform on every plan from $129. On MT5 or a bare platform you would build the dashboard yourself; on PropExecutor it ships inside every account with nothing to develop. ### How does a real-time dashboard reduce support load? Because the most common trader questions - how much drawdown is left, how close am I to target, did my account pass - are answered on screen, in real time. Traders self-serve the information instead of opening tickets, which keeps your support volume down as you scale. ### Does a branded experience make my firm look bigger? Yes. A consistent brand across a professional terminal and dashboard, on your own domain, makes a new firm look established. Traders cannot see your invoice; they see the experience, and a polished one makes a $129-platform firm look like a serious operation. Your traders never see your pricing model or your admin panel. What they see is the terminal they trade in and the dashboard that tells them how they are doing. That experience is your product, as far as they are concerned - and it decides whether they trust you, whether they come back, and how many support tickets you answer. ## The three things a trader needs A great prop firm trader experience gives a trader three things, immediately and in one place: - **A terminal they already know** - so there is no learning curve between paying and trading. - **A real-time picture of where they stand** - equity, target progress, drawdown headroom. - **The rules they are judged under** - visible, unambiguous, frozen for their account. Get those three right, behind one branded login, and the experience feels like a serious firm. Get them wrong - a clunky terminal, an opaque challenge, a dashboard that lags - and even a fairly priced challenge feels risky. ## The terminal PropExecutor gives traders a full terminal on web and mobile: a market watch, candlestick charts with drawing tools, a market-execution order ticket, open positions with live floating P&L, and the full fill history per account. It is deliberately the workflow a trader coming from MetaTrader already recognises, so there is nothing to learn - on your domain, under your brand. ## The dashboard Inside every account is the prop dashboard, and it answers the question traders ask more than any other: how much room do I have left? It shows equity and balance, progress to the profit target, daily and maximum drawdown headroom, and the frozen rule set the account is judged under - all updating in real time, on the tick. A trader never has to open a ticket to find out where they stand. ## One login, not three The detail that ties it together: the terminal and the dashboard live behind the same login, one tab across from each other. Traders do not juggle a trading platform in one place and a challenge tracker in another. It is one coherent experience, and it is yours - which is exactly what makes a firm feel real. > **A terminal they know and a dashboard that never lags - in every account, from $129.** [See it running →](https://www.propexecutor.com/pricing) ## Why it moves the numbers Experience is not decoration; it is conversion and retention. Traders judge a firm by what they touch, so a clean, familiar, transparent experience makes them more likely to buy and to buy again, and a real-time dashboard cuts support load because traders self-serve the answers. A well-run experience is one of the cheapest ways to look bigger and more trustworthy than your age or your platform bill would suggest. ## You do not build any of it On a bare platform you would build the dashboard, wire up the rules view, and stitch it to the terminal. On PropExecutor all of it ships inside every account on every plan from $129 - the terminal, the real-time dashboard, and the rules the account is judged under, one login, your brand. > **Give your traders an experience that looks like a serious firm.
