ICC Most prop firm challenges are not failed on the profit target. They are failed on a rule: one bad day past the daily loss limit, a drawdown that trails closer than you thought, or a target hit a day too early. ICC Zillas checks every trade against your firm's rules and shows how much room you have left, so you see the line before you cross it.
What the tracker checks
- Profit target: progress towards the target of the phase you are in.
- Daily loss limit: how much of today's allowance is used, in money and percent.
- Maximum drawdown: static, trailing or trailing end of day, measured the way your firm measures it.
- Minimum trading days and an optional consistency rule (best day as a share of total profit).
- Status: In progress, Target reached or Breached, with bars that turn red near a limit.
- Prop firm finances: every challenge fee, reset and payout, and your real return after costs.
Set it up in three minutes
- Create a free ICC Zillas account and add an account with the type Prop firm.
- Bring your trades in: attach the read-only Sync EA to MetaTrader 4 / 5, or import the firm's report or a CSV.
- On the Prop Firms page press Set rules: firm, phase, account size, profit target, daily loss limit, max drawdown and its type, minimum trading days and the consistency rule if your firm has one.
The rules are yours to type, so the tracker works with any firm. Read the current rules on the firm's own site before you enter them. The guide explains each field.
Static or trailing drawdown: why it matters
Take a $100,000 account with a 10% maximum loss. With a static limit the floor stays at $90,000 whatever happens. With a trailing limit the floor follows your highest balance: grow the account to $104,000 and the floor rises to $94,000. A trader who still thinks the floor is $90,000 can then breach the account while $3,000 in profit. That is the kind of mistake the tracker is built to catch.
Three popular 2-step challenges compared
One program from each firm, with the rules as published on the firm's official site. Checked on 20 October 2026. Firms change their rules and prices often, and each firm offers other programs with different numbers, so always read the official rules before you buy.

| Minimum days | At least 4 trading days | At least 5 trading days per phase | At least 3 profitable days per step (each at least 0.5% of the initial balance) |

ICC Zillas is not a prop firm and is independent of these firms. This is a factual comparison, not a recommendation. Passing a challenge is never guaranteed, and many traders do not pass.
A simple risk plan for a challenge
- Risk a fixed small share of the account per trade, so a losing streak cannot hit the daily limit in one morning.
- Set a personal daily stop below the firm's limit (for example half of it) and stop trading when you reach it.
- Know your drawdown type and where today's floor is before the first trade.
- Review every trade the same day: tag mistakes, check the rules you followed, and read the R multiple report weekly.
The prop firm tracker is part of the Pro and Elite plans and of the 7-day free trial, no card needed. Every plan payment has a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Does ICC Zillas work with any prop firm?
Yes. You type the firm's rules (target, daily loss, maximum drawdown and its type, minimum days, consistency), so the tracker works with any firm whose trades you can sync from MetaTrader or import from a report or CSV.
What is the difference between static and trailing drawdown?
A static limit is measured from the starting balance and never moves. A trailing limit follows your highest balance (or highest end-of-day balance), so the floor rises as you make money.
Is the comparison table up to date?
It was checked on 20 October 2026 against each firm's official pages. Firms change their rules often, so use the links in the table to read the current rules before you buy a challenge.
Can the tracker stop me from breaking a rule?
No. ICC Zillas reads your trades; it never places or closes trades. It shows how close you are to each limit so you can stop in time.
