Prop firms need more than capital and traders. They need control.
Until recently, Prop Pulse—the comprehensive account management system for prop trading—was only available for MetaTrader 4 and 5. But now, it is available for cTrader.
If you’re a prop firm using cTrader, this gives you an edge: full visibility over every stage of a prop trader’s journey, complete control over risk, and a structure that supports long-term profitability without drowning in manual work.
Let’s break it down.
What’s Prop Pulse?
Prop Pulse by Brokeree is a complete solution for running a prop trading business. It helps you evaluate traders, fund promising talent, and share profits in a sustainable way. It also handles the entire prop trading lifecycle, from challenge plans to partnership management.
Powerful Challenge Plans
Any prop trading journey starts with challenge plans. These are the blueprints for how you’ll test potential traders before giving them your money.
With Prop Pulse, you can create custom challenge plans with multiple steps. Each step can have its profit targets, drawdown limits, and timeframes.
Want traders to show 8% profit with no more than 5% drawdown? Easy to set up. Need them to trade for at least 10 days to prove consistency? Just add that requirement. You can make these challenges public, let traders sign up, and collect registration fees. It creates revenue even before you fund a single account.
Smart Risk Management
Risk control makes or breaks prop trading businesses. Prop Pulse gives you multiple layers of protection.
- Set static drawdown limits based on the initial balance. If a trader starts with $10,000 and you set a 10% limit, trading stops when they hit $9,000 in equity.
- Use trailing drawdown limits that move up as equity grows. This locks in profits and prevents traders from giving back all their gains after a good run.
- Daily drawdown limits stop significant one-day losses to prevent emotional revenge trading after initial losses.
The system even lets you create “warning levels” before complete stoppage. When traders hit 80% of their drawdown limit, you can suspend trading as a warning before they breach the full limit.
The Partnership Phase
Once traders pass your challenges, they enter the partnership phase. This stage is where you fund them with real money and share the profits.
Prop Pulse lets you create a scaling plan with multiple levels. Each level can have different account sizes and profit-sharing ratios.
Start traders with $25,000 and a 70/30 split. As they prove themselves, move them up to $50,000 with a better split. The system handles all the progression rules and account setups.
You can set objectives for each level, too. Maybe traders need to maintain a certain Sharpe ratio or limit their drawdowns to a tighter percentage as they get more funding.
Easy Profit Splitting
The profit-splitting feature is where you turn trader performance into company revenue. Prop Pulse makes this process simple and flexible.
Set minimum thresholds for profit splits to avoid tiny withdrawal requests. Allow traders to request their share when they hit these thresholds.
You maintain final approval on all requests. The system automatically handles the accounting, moving the trader’s share to their account and keeping your share with the company. All profit splits are tracked in detailed reports, giving you clear visibility into how much you’re paying out versus keeping.
Relevant Performance Metrics
Tracking trader performance shouldn’t require a finance degree. Prop Pulse gives you clear insights through metrics. For example, you get:
- Time-weighted return cuts through the noise to show you how traders are performing. Unlike basic profit numbers, this metric isn’t skewed by deposits or withdrawals, so you get the true picture of trading skills.
- The Sharpe ratio helps you spot the difference between skilled traders and lucky gamblers. A high ratio means consistent returns with controlled risk – precisely what you want in a funded trader.
- Max return-based drawdown shows you how traders handle losses. This reveals their risk management style and helps you predict their performance when markets get tough.
With these practical metrics at your fingertips, you can quickly identify which traders deserve more capital and which need a closer eye.
Automated Workflows
Running a prop trading business comes with a mountain of administrative tasks. Prop Pulse takes this burden off your shoulders through smart automation.
You can set up rules for automatic account creation whenever traders successfully pass evaluation steps. The system handles it all in the background while you focus on more critical aspects of your business.
Prop Pulse can automatically progress traders to the next challenge step when they meet their objectives. This happens without you having to review and approve each advancement manually.
Traders can also request their profit splits within the parameters you’ve established. This self-service approach reduces the constant back-and-forth that typically comes with payout requests. You still maintain final approval, but the process flows much more smoothly.
These automations create a much better experience for your traders, who get faster responses and clearer processes. Happy traders stay longer, and that means more consistent revenue for your business.
