How We Rank Prop Firms

What We Consider

When comparing prop firms, we may consider:

• Trustpilot rating

• Number of Trustpilot reviews

• Challenge pricing

• Account sizes available

• Profit targets

• Maximum daily loss

• Maximum drawdown

• Drawdown type

• Profit or reward split

• Payout frequency

• Minimum trading days

• Trading period

• Scaling opportunities

• Trading platforms

• News trading rules

• Weekend holding rules

• Account types and challenge models

• Firm history and operating track record

• Clarity of trading rules

• Availability of customer support

• Current publicly available information

Trustpilot Data

Where we display Trustpilot information, we use it as a separate third-party reputation indicator.

We may display:

• Trustpilot score

• Trustpilot review count

Trustpilot data can change frequently.

We aim to keep the information on Prop Firm Family current, but there may be a delay between a change on Trustpilot and an update on our website.

Trustpilot ratings are not created or controlled by Prop Firm Family.

We clearly identify Trustpilot ratings as Trustpilot rather than presenting them as our own score.

Challenge Pricing

We compare the standard price of prop firm challenges wherever possible.

We may consider:

• Initial challenge fee

• Account size

• Number of evaluation phases

• Refundable fees

• Reset fees

• Activation fees

• Other required costs

Temporary promotions and discount codes may be shown separately from standard pricing.

This helps users distinguish between a firm's normal price and a temporary deal.

Trading Rules

Trading rules are an important part of our comparisons.

We may compare:

• Profit targets

• Maximum daily loss

• Maximum overall loss

• Static or trailing drawdown

• Minimum trading days

• Consistency rules

• Best-day rules

• News trading restrictions

• Weekend holding

• Overnight holding

• EA or automated trading rules

• Copy trading policies

• Inactivity rules

Because these rules can vary between programs offered by the same firm, we aim to display rules at the individual challenge/program level, rather than assigning one set of rules to an entire firm.

Payouts and Profit Splits

We may consider:

• Starting profit split

• Maximum available profit split

• First payout time

• Ongoing payout frequency

• Minimum payout requirements

• Consistency requirements

• Payout buffers

• Scaling requirements

A higher profit split does not automatically mean a firm ranks higher.

The full payout structure and restrictions should also be considered.

Trading Platforms

We may compare which platforms are supported, including platforms such as:

• MetaTrader 4

• MetaTrader 5

• cTrader

• Match-Trader

• TradeLocker

• Other proprietary or third-party trading platforms

Platform availability may vary by challenge type, region, or account.

Scaling and Maximum Allocation

We may consider:

• Maximum initial allocation

• Maximum number of accounts

• Scaling plans

• Maximum scaled allocation

• Requirements to qualify for scaling

Scaling limits can vary significantly between firms and individual programs.

Firm History

We may consider how long a company has been operating and other publicly available information about its history.

Firm age is only one factor and does not automatically determine ranking position.

How Rankings Are Calculated

Prop Firm Family may use a combination of quantitative data and comparison criteria.

No single factor automatically determines a firm's overall placement.

For example, a firm may have:

• Lower prices but stricter drawdown rules

• A higher Trustpilot score but fewer reviews

• A larger profit split but longer payout periods

• More account sizes but fewer trading platforms

Our goal is to present these differences clearly rather than assume that one feature makes a firm the best choice for every trader.

Top Rated Labels

If a firm is shown as Top Rated, Popular, or with another highlighted label, the label should be based on defined criteria.

Where appropriate, we may consider factors such as:

• Trustpilot reputation

• Review volume

• Overall trading conditions

• Challenge pricing

• Payout structure

• Account flexibility

Highlighted labels should not be treated as a guarantee of quality, profitability, reliability, or future performance.

Affiliate Relationships

Some prop firms listed on Prop Firm Family may have an affiliate relationship with us.

This means we may receive a commission when a user clicks a Get Deal Now link and purchases a product.

Affiliate commissions help fund the operation of Prop Firm Family.

Commercial relationships should be kept separate from the factual information displayed about each firm.

If paid or sponsored placement is introduced, it should be clearly labelled so users can distinguish it from normal comparison results.

For more information, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

Sponsored Placements

If Prop Firm Family introduces sponsored placements in the future, they should be clearly marked using wording such as:

Sponsored

or

Advertisement

Sponsored placement does not necessarily mean that the firm has a better rating or ranking than other firms.

Information Updates

Prop firms regularly change:

• Prices

• Rules

• Account sizes

• Platforms

• Profit splits

• Payout schedules

• Promotions

• Trading conditions

We aim to keep information up to date, but changes may occur before our website is updated.

Users should always verify important information directly with the prop firm before purchasing a challenge.

No Guarantee

A ranking or highlighted position on Prop Firm Family does not guarantee:

• Successful completion of a challenge

• Receipt of a funded account

• Trading profits

• Successful payouts

• Continued operation of a prop firm

• Future performance or reliability

Every trader should carry out their own research and consider whether a firm's rules are suitable for their circumstances.

Our Goal

Our aim is to make prop firm research:

• Easier to understand

• Easier to compare

• More transparent

• More consistent

Instead of looking at a single headline number, we encourage users to compare the complete set of trading conditions before making a decision.
