StampedeProp Review

Accepted/Restricted Countries

Stampede Prop offers its proprietary trading challenges to traders worldwide, including residents of the United States. Unlike many prop firms that exclude US residents, Stampede explicitly advertises that traders from all 50 US states and the District of Columbia can participate. The firm also welcomes international traders, provided they meet its eligibility requirements and local laws allow them to use its services.

However, Stampede maintains restrictions on several countries and regions. The company does not accept registrations from residents, nationals or individuals located in jurisdictions subject to comprehensive international sanctions imposed by the United Nations, European Union, United Kingdom or US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Stampede Prop also excludes countries identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as high-risk or subject to a call for action. The company’s published restricted list includes Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia and Syria, as well as the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.

The firm also reserves the right to reject registrations from countries where participating in simulated trading evaluations would violate local laws or require financial licensing that Stampede does not hold. Eligibility is checked during identity verification at the funded stage, and restrictions may also be enforced during payment and payout processing. Traders must provide accurate residency and identity information, as false details can result in account closure and withheld payouts. The restricted-country list may change as international sanctions and FATF classifications are updated.

Comparison of All Challenges

Stampede Prop offers three evaluation programs: Classic, Sprint and Sprint Turbo. Each program has different profit targets and drawdown limits, allowing traders to select an evaluation based on their trading strategy and risk tolerance.

All three challenges use static maximum drawdown, meaning the overall loss limit stays fixed at its original level rather than moving up as the account becomes profitable. There are no challenge deadlines or consistency rules. However, Classic requires at least one trading day in each phase, while Sprint and Sprint Turbo have no minimum trading-day requirements.

The 90% profit split is available through an optional add-on that costs 20% more than the standard challenge fee. Classic's full challenge fee is refunded with the first funded payout, while Sprint and Sprint Turbo fees are non-refundable.

Challenge Fees by Account Size

These are one-time evaluation fees. Traders do not have to pay monthly subscriptions or additional activation fees after passing a challenge.

Who Should Take These Challenges?

Each Stampede challenge is designed for a different type of trader. The right option depends on how much drawdown room you need, how quickly you want to qualify and how consistently you can reach your profit targets. You can compare the offered challenges and then see the one that suits your preference. 

Classic Challenge with Two-Phase Evaluation

The Classic Challenge is suitable for traders who prefer a structured evaluation with more room to manage losses. It requires an 8% profit target in the first phase, followed by another 5% in the second phase. Traders must stay within a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% maximum overall drawdown throughout the evaluation.

One of its main advantages is the wider static drawdown limit. The maximum loss floor remains fixed at 10% below the initial account balance, even when the account generates profits. With this, traders get more flexibility to manage temporary losses without worrying about the overall loss limit moving upwards. There is also no deadline to complete any phase, although at least one trading day is required for each phase.

The Classic Challenge may appeal to swing traders and those who prefer a slower, more controlled approach to trading. It is also the only Stampede challenge that offers a full fee refund with the first payout after passing. However, traders must complete two separate evaluation phases before receiving a funded account. It is available in account sizes up to $100,000, with fees starting at $55 on the $5,000 account.

Sprint Challenge with One-Phase Evaluation

The Sprint Challenge is designed for experienced traders who want to qualify through a single evaluation phase. Traders only need to achieve a 10% profit target while maintaining a maximum daily loss of 4% and an overall drawdown of 6%.

Unlike Classic, Sprint has no minimum trading-day requirement. Traders can reach the profit target as quickly as their strategy allows, provided they follow all risk management rules. Its static drawdown also means the overall loss limit does not move upwards as the account generates profits.

This challenge is more suitable for confident day traders and scalpers who can generate consistent returns while keeping their losses under control. It also offers larger account sizes of up to $200,000. However, its 6% maximum drawdown is tighter than Classic's 10%, and the challenge fee is non-refundable. Fees start at $69 for a $5,000 account.

Sprint Turbo Challenge with One-Phase Evaluation

Sprint Turbo is the most affordable challenge offered by Stampede. It follows a one-phase evaluation with a 9% profit target, a 3% maximum daily loss and a 3% maximum overall drawdown. Like Sprint, there is no minimum trading-day requirement or deadline to pass.

The main attraction is its low entry cost, starting at just $39 for a $5,000 account. Traders also benefit from static drawdown and no consistency rule, meaning they can reach the profit target without having to distribute their gains across multiple days. Account sizes go up to $200,000, making it available to traders who want a larger simulated allocation without paying the higher Sprint fee.

However, the 3% maximum overall drawdown makes this the most restrictive challenge in terms of risk management. It is better suited to disciplined traders who use smaller position sizes, tight stop-losses and strategies that generally experience limited drawdowns. Traders who regularly face larger temporary losses may find this option difficult. The challenge fee is also non-refundable.

Conclusion

Stampede Prop offers three challenge options designed for traders with different risk management preferences. The Classic Challenge is the more flexible option, where traders get a 10% maximum drawdown and a refundable fee, while Sprint provides a faster one-phase evaluation with a 6% drawdown limit. Sprint Turbo is the cheapest entry option, although its 3% maximum drawdown leaves considerably less room for losses.

The firm's main advantages include static drawdown limits, no challenge deadlines, no consistency rules and an 80% standard profit split that can be increased to 90%. Its on-demand payout system and support for multiple trading markets also make it an interesting option for experienced traders.

However, traders should consider the non-refundable fees on Sprint and Sprint Turbo, along with the tighter risk limits on these programs. All accounts are simulated, and passing a challenge does not guarantee consistent future payouts.

Overall, Stampede Prop may be worth considering for traders who want a straightforward evaluation process, clearly published trading rules and flexible funding options. The choice between its three challenges ultimately depends on how much drawdown room a trader needs and how confidently they can meet the required profit targets.
