Prop Firm Technology Requirements —
Everything You Need to Launch

Component 1 — Trading Platform

The trading platform is what traders use to buy and sell while in their challenge or funded account. Requirements:

• Live market prices (real-time bid/ask via LP feed)
• Web-based (browser, no install) or app (Android)
• Full chart suite with indicators and multi-timeframe support
• All order types: market, limit, stop, take profit, trailing stop
• Real-time P&L and margin display
• Trade history
• Low latency (<100ms round-trip for order execution)

Component 2 — Challenge Evaluation Engine

This is the core differentiator of a prop firm versus a regular broker. The evaluation engine:

• Tracks all configured rules in real time per account
• Detects breaches immediately when a rule is violated
• Closes the account automatically on breach detection
• Manages phase transitions (Phase 1 pass → Phase 2 account created automatically)
• Tracks minimum trading days count
• Enforces consistency rule calculations
• Sends automated email/notification to trader on each status change

Component 3 — Trader Portal

• Dashboard showing challenge progress (profit, drawdown, days, consistency)
• Equity curve and trading statistics
• Trade history and journal
• Payout request interface
• Account purchase for new challenges
• Support ticket system or live chat integration

Component 4 — Firm Administration Panel

• All trader accounts with search and filter
• Breach review queue
• Manual account adjustments (balance correction, rule override for appeals)
• Challenge configuration (create, edit challenge types and rules)
• Payout approval queue
• Performance analytics (challenge sales, pass rates by product, revenue by month)

Component 5 — Payment Processing (Inbound)

• Stripe or similar for credit/debit card → challenge fee collection
• Crypto gateway (B2BinPay, CoinGate) → USDT, USDC, BTC payment acceptance
• Automated account provisioning on payment confirmation (no manual setup)
• Coupon/discount code system for promotions

Component 6 — Payout System (Outbound)

• Trader profit split calculation engine
• Payout request workflow (submit → validate → approve → dispatch)
• Crypto wallet payout (USDT/USDC direct)
• Bank wire processing via payment partner
• Payout history ledger per trader
• Firm payout batch report for accounting

Component 7 — Infrastructure & Reliability

• Cloud-hosted (AWS, GCP or Azure) with load balancing
• 99.9% uptime SLA
• Automated daily database backups
• TLS encryption for all communications
• DDoS protection at CDN layer
• 24/7 infrastructure monitoring with anomaly alerts
