How we score prop firms
Every firm gets a score from 0 to 10. We work it out the same way every time, only from things you can check yourself: the firm's published prices and rules and its Trustpilot rating.
Four ingredients, one score
Every firm gets a score from 0 to 10. We work it out the same way every time, only from things you can check yourself: the firm's published prices and rules and its Trustpilot rating.
What traders say (40%)
Trustpilot reviews are the clearest sign of whether a firm keeps its promises, so they count for 40% of the score. If a firm has no rating yet, we use the other three parts and mention it in the review.
Profit split (20%)
How much of your profit you keep. A 70% split earns nothing, 100% earns full marks.
Price (20%)
We take the cheapest $100,000 challenge that pays at least 80%, leaving out pay-after-pass. $200 or less earns full marks; $650 or more earns zero.
Trading freedom (20%)
We check seven styles: news trading, weekend holding, expert advisors, hedging, scalping, copy trading and martingale. Allowed is one point, restricted is half, and banned is zero.
What never affects a score
Money from a firm. We earn from some links, but every firm goes through the exact same formula.
Keeping things fresh
We recheck prices and rules regularly, and each page shows when we last did. Notice something outdated? Let us know through the contact form.
