Evaluation rules, one plan per firm (the plan under each name; the same plan as our 50K comparison). "Target vs loss" is the profit target divided by the max loss: 1.5× means you must make 1.5 times what you are allowed to lose. Max loss types differ (end-of-day or intraday trailing, static); each firm's guide has its exact wording. "Not in our data" means we have not sourced that figure yet. The tab you pick is kept in the page link.

Every figure, with its source
