What it means

In a prop firm, the rules page is where every rule lives once: loss limits and their reference points, drawdown types, profit targets, minimum days, news and weekend rules, EA and copy trading policies, consistency rules and payout conditions. Other pages summarize and link back to it.

Good rules pages are versioned. They show a last-updated date, keep a change log, and state which version applies to accounts bought before a change.

Each rule needs a definition, the exact numbers per program, a worked example, and what happens on a breach.
