News rules at prop firms vary by firm, product, and account type, and a missed clause can cost you an account. This guide shows the common rule structures, how to read a firm's rule document, and how to build a release-day plan that keeps you compliant.

A Combine can end on one misread rule: a trailing loss limit that follows open profit, a daily limit with a lockout, or a contract cap. This guide shows how to read those rules, work the trailing floor with hypothetical numbers, and size trades from the buffer.

Apex-style evaluations can go wrong on mechanics after the profit target: trailing drawdown floors, consistency math at payout time, and flat-by-close requirements. This guide shows how to build a rule sheet, run hypothetical calculations, and verify each point against Apex's current documents.

Most evaluation failures trace back to a rule misunderstood: how drawdown trails, when the daily limit resets, what consistency means. This guide explains the mechanics, shows hypothetical math, and lists how to compare rule documents and handle automation restrictions.
