How the TC Score is calculated
Every firm on MyFxKit carries a single number from 50 to 90 — the Trading Conditions Score. It compresses twelve hard inputs into one ranking that auto-updates the moment any firm changes terms or a new firm joins. Here is exactly what goes into it.
No prop firm pays to rank higher. The TC Score is computed from published trading conditions — the XAUUSD spread you'll actually pay, the per-trade risk cap that limits position size, the consistency rule that taxes a good day — weighted by how much each one moves a working trader's bottom line. Every input is scored against the live cohort: a firm at the cohort average sits near the middle. Add a firm, remove a firm, or change one published value, and every other firm's score rebalances automatically.
"Set your conditions. We'll show you the ones that fit — ranked by published terms, not by who pays us."
Execution, Freedom, and Rules
Every input rolls up into one of three buckets. Execution carries the cost of every trade. Freedom captures the headroom your strategy gets. Rules covers the binding constraints that can stop a profitable account before payout.
Execution
XAUUSD spread and round-turn commission — the friction on every order.
Freedom
XAUUSD leverage, profit split, total drawdown headroom, plus news / EA / weekend allowances. How much room your strategy gets.
Rules
Profit target, daily drawdown, per-trade risk cap (FLR), and single-day consistency rule. What stops you out.
The twelve inputs that move the number
Each input is measured against every plan we list, so a plan near the middle of the board sits near the middle of the score, better plans rise and worse plans fall. Nothing scores zero — even the weakest input keeps a baseline of credit.
XAUUSD spread
Firm-wide pip cost on every gold trade. The biggest line in Execution.
Round-turn commission
Per-lot fee on top of spread. Varies by plan within a firm.
XAUUSD leverage
Maximum gold leverage decides the lots you can actually open at your equity.
Profit split
Share of trading profit the trader keeps after payout. Higher is better.
Total drawdown
Max overall loss allowed before the account is killed. Higher cap = more room.
News / EAs / weekend
Three boolean firm flags. Each blocked strategy lane subtracts a few points.
Profit target
Total profit target across every phase — 8% then 5% counts as 13%. How much you have to make to get funded.
Daily drawdown
Daily loss cap as % of balance — your headroom on any single bad day.
Per-trade risk cap (FLR)
Hard cap on how much you can lose on a single trade. From no rule (best) to a 2% hard cap or worse.
Consistency rule
Max % of total profits allowed from a single day. No rule means no penalty.
Score bands
The badge shifts colour across five bands so a glance tells you where a firm stands before you read a single column.
What people ask
Common questions
What is the TC Score and how is it calculated?
The TC Score is MyFxKit’s internal rating of a plan’s trading conditions, computed from what the firm itself publishes — not from user reviews. Twelve inputs sit in three groups: execution (gold spread, commission per lot), freedom (gold leverage, profit split, total drawdown, news trading, expert advisors, weekend holding) and rules (profit target across all phases, daily drawdown, per-trade risk cap, consistency rule). Each input is measured against the average of every plan we list, so the score says where a plan sits relative to the rest of the market.
Can a firm pay to change its TC Score or ranking?
No. The TC Score comes from one function applied identically to every firm’s published conditions, and it takes no input for commercial payment. MyFxKit sells ad placement and earns commission on some links, but neither changes a firm’s position in the leaderboard, its score, or which side wins a row on a comparison.
What happens when a value is missing?
That input is dropped from the calculation rather than guessed at, so a firm with gaps is scored on less evidence rather than penalised for having them. The coverage badge beside each score says what share of the inputs was actually verified. An em dash in any table means “we have not checked”, never “zero” and never “the firm has no such rule”.
Where does the gold spread come from?
For firms on our live feed, MyFxKit measures the gold spread live. A firm we do not yet measure carries an assumed 4.00, labelled “assumed” wherever it appears, until we measure it.
How often is the data checked?
Every plan carries a last-verified date, set when someone has checked its values against the firm’s own published rules. Our own mistakes are published in the change log with a tag saying whether we were wrong or the firm changed its terms — keeping those two visibly separate is the reason that page exists.
