This site is run by a private trader and reflects personal opinion and research, not financial advice — nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or otherwise trade. Trade your own account and manage your own risk. Data, ratings, and trust scores in the Prop Firms section are compiled from public sources, independent reviews, and our own research — they are not verified guarantees of any firm's terms, financial stability, or conduct, and rules and pricing change frequently, so always confirm current terms directly with a firm before purchasing a challenge. Some links on this site are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
