Quick-answer blocks
Q1. What are the most important prop firm rules to validate first?
Check drawdown type, consistency limits, payout conditions, prohibited strategies, and news/overnight constraints in that order.
Q2. Why can rule wording break payout expectations?
Small rule clauses can override strategy behavior. If rules conflict with your execution pattern, payout probability drops.
Q3. What should be done after rule validation?
Open the review page and compare page for the same firm, then verify the latest offer route before checkout.
