POBE Prop Firm

Pass or Breakeven (POBE) — Prop Firm Challenge EA

One thing POBE users consistently report: the fear of a failed challenge is gone. With prop firms that set a lower target than their max drawdown — such as FTMO, FundedNext, and FundingPips — failing Phase 1 can leave the broker account recovering more than the original setup cost, net positive. Failing Phase 2 recovers even further above that. Every outcome — pass or fail — is calculated before a single trade is placed.

Other prop firm EAs improve your odds of passing. They cannot change what happens when you fail. With POBE, that distinction does not matter. Passing is the best outcome. Failing is still a favourable one.

Overview

POBE runs on two MT5 terminals simultaneously — one on a prop firm challenge account and one on a personal broker account. Every trade opened on the prop firm side is automatically mirrored in the opposite direction on the broker side at a calculated lot ratio. When the prop firm account loses, the broker account gains a proportional amount. When the prop firm account wins, the broker account loses a proportional amount.

The result is that every possible challenge outcome produces a defined, calculable financial result rather than a binary win or loss. The on-chart lifecycle map display shows the calculated outcome for each possible ending before the challenge begins.

This EA does not use a grid, martingale, or any averaging strategy. It does not predict market direction. It hedges the challenge structure itself.

The Three Outcomes

Based on observed challenge cycles, the three terminal outcomes have distributed as follows:

FTMO, E8 Funding, Alpha Capital, Goat Funded Trader

• Approximately 25% of observed challenges ended with the funded payout outcome — passing all phases and net positive. See Funded, Funded, 
• Approximately 50% of observed challenges ended near breakeven — failing Phase 1 or failing the Funded phase.  See Stage 1, Funded
• Approximately 25% of observed challenges ended with a net positive result — passing Phase 1 but failing Phase. See Stage 2
  
  

Funded Next (Stellar 2-Step), FundingPips (2 Steps)

• Approximately 16.7% of observed challenges ended near breakeven — failing Phase 1 or failing the Funded phase.
• Approximately 66% of observed challenges ended with a net positive result — passing Phase 1 but failing Phase 2.
• Approximately 16.7% of observed challenges ended with the funded payout outcome — passing all phases and net positive.

These figures are based on observed challenge cycles and are not a guarantee of future results. Actual results vary by trader, strategy, and market conditions.
