Common Questions

Everything you need to know before starting your funding challenge.

Proprietary (prop) trading firms provide traders with access to capital in exchange for a share of the profits. Traders usually undergo an “evaluation” or “challenge” phase to prove their skills before managing a live funded account.

We cross-reference payout certificates shared by traders on public forums, verify them through our community of over 45k reviewers, and occasionally fund our own accounts to test the withdrawal process ourselves.

Forex firms primarily use CFD brokers and MetaTrader platforms, often with flexible drawdown rules. Futures firms trade directly on exchanges (CME, CBOT) and typically have stricter trailing drawdown rules but offer more transparency in market data.

Generally, no. Most prop firms have partnerships with specific brokers or use their own internal liquidity pools to ensure they can monitor your risk management and execution in real-time.

Trust Matters

Most “Top 10” lists are sold to the highest bidder. We trade the accounts ourselves to verify the rules before recommending them.

Live Updates

Prop firms change rules constantly. Our scrapers monitor Terms of Service 24/7 to flag predatory changes instantly.
