Which account are you trading?

Three algorithms, two jobs. Answer one question and you know where to start.

I'm trading a prop firm combine

Run CPTL Core

Topstep or Apex, any size. Core is our primary prop algorithm — Monte Carlo simulated 4,000 times per account and contract size, with a 74% pass rate at its best-fit configuration.

Prefer a higher win rate over raw edge? CPTL ZI is our alternative prop algorithm — see the full comparison below.

I'm trading live capital or a large-DD prop

Run CPTL XI

A live funded account, or a prop setup with a wide trailing drawdown allowance. CPTL XI is our three-year live engine — +324% total return with a trade structure that needs room to work.

The Algorithms

CPTL Core first. Always.

CPTL Core is the algorithm we are pushing forward — Monte Carlo validated across every major prop firm account size. CPTL ZI is our alternative prop option for traders who prioritize win rate. CPTL XI remains our live account engine.

The Prop Firm Simulator

4,000 simulations. Every account. Every size.

We didn't guess which contract size works on which prop account — we simulated it. Evaluation → funded → payout, run 4,000 times per cell across Topstep 50K/100K/150K and Apex 50K/100K, at base sizes of 1–5 MNQ, with the martingale ladder scaling alongside contract size (16× cap, clipped by position limits).

PATHS 4,000 / cell · 25 cells EVAL WINDOW ≤120 trading days FUNDED 6 months · monthly sweeps
CPTL CorePrimary

Contracts buy speed, never safety — every payout curve declines as size grows, since the trailing drawdown is fixed in dollars while the martingale ladder scales linearly. At Topstep 50K with 4–5 lots the median funded payout is $0. Best behavior stays small: 1–2 lots.

Compared cell-for-cell, CPTL Core outperforms CPTL ZI on every account and every size in this simulation — which is why Core is our primary prop firm algorithm. ZI remains available as an alternative for traders who prioritize win rate.

Prop Firm Compatibility

Pass the combine. Collect the payout.

CPTL Core is Monte Carlo validated across Topstep and Apex, at every contract size from 1–5 MNQ. CPTL ZI is available as an alternative. CPTL XI suits live accounts or props with wide trailing drawdown allowances.

Which algorithm should you run? On any standard combine — Topstep 50K/100K/150K or Apex 50K/100K — run CPTL Core at its best-fit size for your account (see the full grid above); it outperforms ZI in every simulated cell. Prefer a higher win rate and can accept a smaller edge? ZI is available as the alternative. On a live funded account or a prop with a wide drawdown allowance, run CPTL XI.

Topstep

$50K · $100K · $150K Combine

Core simulated 4,000× per size on every Topstep tier — best fits: 50K at 1 lot (70% pass), 100K at 2 lots (65% pass), 150K at 3 lots (66% pass, $9,412 median payout)
Topstep MLL trailing modeled end-of-day with fixed daily-loss lockouts — matches the actual combine rule set, not a generic drawdown assumption
Avoid oversizing: Topstep 50K at 4–5 lots and 150K at 1 lot both simulate to a $0 median payout or nonviable pass rate
CPTL XI runs on Topstep today for accounts with wider drawdown room — session-based, automation permitted

Apex Trader Funding

$50K · $100K

Core's best overall fit across the entire simulation: Apex 50K at 1 lot — 74% pass, 55% payout probability, $3,619 median payout, ~44 days
Apex trailing modeled in real time at trade resolution — a stricter test than end-of-day trailing, so these numbers already account for the harder rule set
CPTL ZI available as the alternative on Apex — same account, same sizing logic, thinner edge (63% pass at 1 lot vs Core's 74%)
CPTL XI available now where drawdown room allows — 82.41% win rate over the last year

FAQ

Common
questions.

On any standard prop firm combine — Topstep or Apex, any size — start with CPTL Core, our primary prop algorithm. It's Monte Carlo simulated 4,000 times per account and contract size, and it outperforms ZI in every tested cell. CPTL ZI is available as an alternative if you specifically prefer a higher win rate and can accept a thinner edge. On a live funded account or a prop with a wide trailing drawdown allowance, run CPTL XI — three years live, +324% total return.
Both are MNQ breakout algorithms from the same family, but tuned differently. ZI wins more often — 72.9% vs Core's 66.99% — but its average winning trade is smaller, giving it a thinner profit factor (1.33 vs 1.541). In prop firm simulation, that thinner edge shows up everywhere: ZI's best-case pass rate is 63% versus Core's 74%, and its median payouts run roughly a third of Core's across the board. Higher win rate sounds safer, but prop rules are unforgiving of small edges — which is why Core, not ZI, is our recommended default.
We took each algorithm's real trade distribution — Core's full-year backtest of 307 trades, ZI's of 314 — and resampled it by whole trading days 4,000 times per account/size combination, so intraday streaks and the martingale position-sizing ladder stay realistic rather than randomly shuffled. Topstep's trailing drawdown is modeled end-of-day with fixed daily-loss lockouts; Apex is modeled in real time at trade resolution, which is a stricter test. Payouts assume a simplified monthly sweep above each account's safety buffer. Fees, commissions, and slippage are excluded, and actual firm payout calendars or consistency rules aren't modeled — so treat these as a rigorous simulation, not a guarantee.
CPTL XI's max drawdown runs roughly 19–23% depending on the window. Standard combines like Topstep and Apex enforce tight trailing drawdown limits that a drawdown of that size can breach. CPTL Core and CPTL ZI were both simulated directly against those combine rules — if you're trading a prop account, start there.
No. All three algorithms run fully automated through TradingView and TradersPost — once configured, orders fire during session hours with zero manual input. You receive real-time trade alerts in the Discord and through your broker confirmation. Set it, let it run.

We post every result publicly — wins and losses, no exceptions. Our most recent losing week on CPTL XI (June 15–19, 2026) closed at −$975, our first red week in a while. The algorithm ran exactly as designed: no panic, no manual override, no adjustments. A losing week does not mean a broken edge. The three-year record across 602 trades is what defines CPTL XI, not any single week.
