Smart Prop Trader believes that every trader should have an experience unique to their trading goals and objectives. In that spirit, we afford traders the optionality to take control over their trading journey by utilizing various exclusive cart add-ons available to all traders when embarking on their trading journey with SPT. The purpose of this article is to explain the various cart add-ons unique to SPT in addition to reviewing the add-ons' unique attributes aimed to enhance a trader's journey through customization.


Extra Challenge Life

Smart Prop Trader was created by traders, for traders. Therefore, we believe that every step of our product roadmap should put traders first and foremost. As many traders know, passing a challenge is easier said than done, as it truly does test your skills as a trader in demonstrating proper risk management while at the same time maximizing your gains throughout all phases of the specific challenge. We have all been in a situation wherein we were so close to completing a given challenge but unforeseen circumstances intervened and prevented successful completion of a given phase of the challenge. This is exactly why we are now offering an extra challenge life for traders at the time of purchasing a given challenge. Think of it like an extra life in a video game, which will allow you to successfully resume completion of the challenge without necessarily having to purchase a new challenge to resume your trading journey. It's your second chance to succeed.

The Extra Challenge Life cart add-on will allow traders who breach their account during any part of a challenge to restart the challenge from Phase 1 without having to pay the full price for a new challenge. This makes it an excellent add-on for new traders learning the nuances of trading or for experienced traders that ran into unforeseen circumstances. Here at SPT, we believe in second-chances, and therefore by adding an Extra Challenge Life to your challenge purchase you will get exactly that, a second chance at success.


1:100 Leverage (cTrader & Match-Trader)

Smart Prop Trader affords all traders up to a 1:30 trading margin on all challenges, unless the trader has chosen to customize their challenge at the time of purchase with up to 1:100 Leverage. Having additional leverage can certainly be advantageous in certain trading scenarios and some traders can benefit from extra leverage depending on their specific trading style and specified trading instruments. Please note that due to the nuances of various trading terminals, 1:100 Leverage is exclusive to cTrader and Match-Trader trading terminals and not currently available to DXtrade trading terminal.

Whether your new to trading and want to explore the benefits of utilizing maximum leverage on your specific trading journey or if you're a seasoned trader who wishes to engage a specific trading strategy that benefits from utilization of 1:100 Leverage, SPT has got our traders backs and now all traders can choose to apply 1:100 Leverage on their specific trading journey.


Balance-Based Drawdown

Simplify your trading with our Balance-Based Drawdown add-on. Without the Balance-Based Drawdown add-on, SPT affords traders a Balance & Equity based drawdown for both Standard Challenges and Pro Challenges wherein the drawdown at the end of the trading day (5PM EST) is calculated based on the balance or equity, whichever is greater when the day changes. Traders who choose to add Balance-Based Drawdown to the challenge they choose for their trading journey will only have to focus on managing drawdown impacting their Balance at the end of the trading day as opposed to managing both balance and equity simultaneously.

Balance-Based Drawdown can be significantly advantageous to traders in this regard as it's one less element (i.e., Equity) to consider throughout your trading journey. In turn, this can free up cognitive resources so traders can focus solely on trading strategies that giveaway to the greatest gains to their available balance without worrying about how their equity or balance will be impacted by the end of the trading day. Instead of managing both balance and equity drawdown, focus solely on your Balance at the end of each trading day.
