About The Prop Examiner

The Prop Examiner researches, documents, and compares prop-trading firms. For every firm we publish a dossier that lays out account sizes, profit splits, payouts, pricing, and — most importantly — the rules that actually bind a funded trader. We label every figure as advertised, verified, or unverified, and we link the primary source behind it.

We are not a prop firm. We do not run challenges, hold trader deposits, or operate any trading product. Firm names appear on this site for identification and comparison only.

Our editorial ratings and verdicts are never for sale. No firm can pay to rank higher, to soften a con, or to remove a “verify before launch” flag. Where we hold an affiliate partnership we say so on the page and route the link through a redirect that applies any current discount at checkout — but a partnership never changes a rating, a verdict, or a firm’s rules. Every firm with a live affiliate gets the identical, clearly-labelled advertising treatment; there is no “flagship” firm.

For the full breakdown of how we earn and how that does (and does not) affect coverage, see our affiliate & independence disclosure→.

Every dossier is researched from a firm’s own primary sources — homepages, rules pages, help centres, and scaling/payout documentation — accessed and dated on publication. We read the fine print most buyers skip: trailing vs static drawdown, consistency and best-day rules, profitable-day requirements, first-payout gates, and prohibited strategies. Where a figure cannot be confirmed from a primary source, we flag it rather than guess.

Our rule glossary, comparison tooling, and calculators exist so a trader can pressure-test a firm’s claims against their own strategy before paying for a challenge.

The mechanics of our research, verification, and the 0–5 scorecard live on a dedicated page so they are easy to audit and to cite.

Prop-firm pricing, promos, and rules change frequently. If you spot a figure that has moved or that we got wrong, tell us and we will verify and update it.
