Editorial Policy
Disclaimer & Editorial Independence
What ProprietaryTrading.com does and does not represent — how firms are researched, how the Match, Compare, and directory tools work, and how advertising is kept separate from editorial coverage.
Last updated: July 3, 2026
Inclusion is not an endorsement
A firm's presence in the ProprietaryTrading.com directory, Match results, Compare tool, news coverage, or any advertising placement does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of that firm, its services, its rules, or its business practices.
We list firms so that traders can research and compare them. Listing a firm means we consider it relevant to the industry — not that we vouch for it.
Accuracy of information
We strive to keep firm information accurate and current, including rules, pricing, payouts, platforms, and program terms. While we make reasonable efforts to research and maintain accurate information, ProprietaryTrading.com does not independently audit or guarantee every representation made by listed firms.
Some information is sourced from firms' public websites, help centers, announcements, and third-party disclosures. Details can be incomplete, out of date, or occasionally incorrect. If you find an error, please let us know.
Risk of trading with prop firms
Trading with any proprietary trading firm involves risk, including — but not limited to — the risk of losing evaluation or reset fees, failing an evaluation, not receiving funded-account access, breaching rules unintentionally, or not receiving expected payouts.
Past performance, historical payout amounts, funded-trader counts, and marketing claims made by firms are not a guarantee of future results for any individual trader.
Your due diligence
Users are responsible for performing their own due diligence and reviewing a firm's current terms — including rules, drawdown definitions, consistency requirements, payout policies, prohibited strategies, and refund policies — directly on the firm's own website before purchasing an evaluation, signing up, or funding an account.
ProprietaryTrading.com is a research and comparison resource, not a broker, introducing broker, funded-trader program, or fiduciary of any kind.
Firms can change rules without notice
Prop firms can change their rules, pricing, payout policies, funding tiers, platforms, evaluation structures, ownership, or business practices at any time and without notice. Information published on ProprietaryTrading.com reflects our best understanding at the time of publication or last review and may not reflect a firm's most recent terms.
Always confirm current terms with the firm before making any purchase or funding decision.
Advertising & sponsorship disclosure
ProprietaryTrading.com may in the future accept advertising, sponsored placements, or affiliate relationships from prop firms and other industry participants. When that happens:
- Sponsored listings and advertisements are clearly labeled as such wherever they appear.
- Paid placements do not influence editorial coverage, Match scoring, Compare rankings, ratings, or research conclusions.
- Editorial decisions — what we cover, how we rate firms, and what warnings we publish — are made independently of any commercial relationship.
Editorial independence
Our directory data, ratings, Match methodology, and news coverage are produced independently. Firms do not pay to be listed, do not pay for a higher Match score, and cannot buy removal of accurate but unflattering information about their programs.
For details on how we score and rate firms, see our ratings methodology and transparency policy.
Not investment, legal, or tax advice
Nothing on ProprietaryTrading.com is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Content is provided for informational and research purposes only. Consult a qualified professional before making financial, legal, or tax decisions.
