Prop Firm Reviews
We have reviewed 95 proprietary trading firms. Every review on this page was written from the firm’s own published rules and pricing, checked against its terms of service, and is revised whenever those terms change. The date on each review is the date it was last verified, not the date it was first written.
The firms below are ordered by our editorial score, which weighs four things: payout track record, how clearly the risk rules are written, platform and instrument choice, and the real cost of an evaluation including resets and activation fees. A firm cannot buy a position here and none of these placements are sold. How we rate sets out the method in full.
Firms we have found to be closed, suspended or carrying unresolved payout complaints are excluded from this ranking. Their reviews stay published and readable — we do not delete a review because a firm went quiet — but listing them here would recommend a firm our own review tells you to avoid.

How to read a prop firm review
Four things decide whether a firm is worth your money, and only one of them is the price.
1. How the drawdown is calculated
This is the rule that ends most accounts, and firms describe it in incompatible ways. Intraday trailing drawdown moves your loss limit up on unrealised equity peaks, tick by tick — punishing if you let winners run and give some back. End-of-day trailing only moves it on closed daily balance, which is far more forgiving. Static drawdown does not move at all. Two firms with an identical “$2,000 max drawdown” can be wildly different accounts. Each of our reviews states which type applies.
2. What the consistency rule actually says
Most firms cap how much of your total profit any single day may represent — often 30% to 50%. Hit the profit target in two good days and you may be unable to withdraw. This rule is rarely on the pricing page and frequently changes; it is the most common reason a passed evaluation does not turn into money.
3. Whether the payout record is evidence or marketing
“$29 million paid to traders” is a number a firm publishes about itself. What matters is whether payouts are processed on schedule when conditions are met, and what happens when they are disputed. We weigh independent review volume and complaint patterns, and we say in the review when a firm’s own figure is the only source available.
4. The total cost, not the entry price
Monthly versus one-time billing, reset fees, activation fees on the funded account, and whether the fee is refundable. On 16 September 2026 every firm we checked was running a discount, so the advertised price is rarely the real one. Our cheapest prop firm breakdown works through what these actually add up to.
Where to go next
If you know what you are looking for, these narrow the field faster than a full ranking:
- Futures prop firms — the US futures firms, which bill and calculate drawdown differently from forex firms
- Instant funding prop firms — firms that skip the evaluation entirely, and what that costs
- How a prop firm challenge works — the evaluation process explained, if you have not passed one before
- Cheapest prop firm — entry prices, reset fees and the monthly-versus-one-time trap
- Head-to-head comparisons — two firms at a time, on the rules that differ
