PT:DD is the pressure gauge
A challenge with a high target and tight drawdown buffer can be harder than a cheaper headline price suggests.
Challenge Comparison
Compare prop firm challenges by rule pressure, not promo hype.
This is the first TSB challenge comparison layer. It mirrors the useful marketplace mechanics: account size, steps, targets, drawdown rules, payout profile, price notes, and verification status in one table.
Challenge comparison table
Search across firm, market, program, drawdown model, payout profile, and verification status. The goal is to quickly expose which challenge structure fits your trading style.

How to read the table
Daily loss decides survivability
Many traders fail because their normal intraday variance violates daily loss before the full strategy plays out.
Verification is part of the product
We keep uncertain rows visible but clearly marked, so the system can grow without pretending every number is final.
Next data upgrades
The next version should add exact live pricing, promo status, accepted countries, restricted countries, payout methods, platform support, and account-size variants per firm.
TSB rule
We can sell featured placement later, but not fake ranking positions. Ranking and partner status stay separate.
