You need to compare a prop-firm challenge offer with trading on your own personal brokerage account. I built an HTML “Prop Calculator” website you can use to quickly assess whether an offer is attractive for you. It’s not perfect—I didn’t spend a huge amount of time on it—but it should be useful as a first-pass filter.
Of course, the “soft” factors (like payout delays or the risk of not getting paid) aren’t modeled as probabilities. But if you want, you can customize the calculator to better match your own assumptions.

I apologize if this is a frequently asked question, but this is the first time I have experienced this.
Today I was wicked-out from an NZDCHF trade. No other broker chart has a huge wick except the5ers with whom I have a funded account.
This is a screenshot from MT5:
And this from the TV where I do the analysis:
I assume the answer will be that this is how prop firms kick its clients out of trades. I can live with that if it doesn't happen that often.

I have created a Sharpe Ratio Simulator. If you have ever wanted to visualize the relationship between risk and reward, this interactive HTML tool allows you to simulate equity curves based on specific Sharpe ratios. It provides a clear view of how different levels of volatility impact performance, complete with all the essential performance metrics.

to turn $641 into $21212 , that is 3209% , in a personal account in a compounding way you need to make 2.53% DAILY (assuming 20 trading days/month) to get there in 7 months
and in the prop account you are assuming 5% MONTHLY in a non-compounding way
2.53% daily compounded in the personal account compared to 5% monthly non-compounded in the prop account , this does not make any sense , my friend
