Scope and decisions
Plan the requirements for Prop Firms
Trading Environment
Configure MT4 or MT5 environments for the required user groups and operating model.
Market Data
Provide supported pricing connectivity and symbol configuration for the offered instruments.
Risk & Reporting Integrations
Connect supported systems used for analytics, rules, reporting or internal operations.
Operational Automation
Reduce repetitive provisioning and status-change work through supported interfaces.
Infrastructure & Monitoring
Plan runtime availability, monitoring, access control, backups and operational support.
Keep challenge rules separate from platform access
Document the rules applied by the challenge or account-management system and the platform settings required to support them. Assign a source of truth for evaluation status, account eligibility and restrictions. A trading platform alone does not establish the business rules for a challenge.
Test account creation, reset, restriction and reporting through the connected systems. Agree how delayed data or failed integration actions affect the evaluation workflow, and who investigates a disputed result.
Map dependencies
Document how platform, data, execution, client systems and infrastructure depend on each other.
Define ownership
Make production access, monitoring, change control and escalation responsibilities explicit.
Validate production flows
Test business-critical workflows and failure scenarios before relying on them in live operations.
