Before you choose a prop firm
What should I compare first?
Start with the loss limits, total evaluation cost and payout conditions. A large advertised account balance does not tell you how much room you have to trade.
How are editorial scores calculated?
Our editorial framework considers rules, costs, payout conditions, program flexibility and company transparency. A score appears only after the assessment is completed.
Does a high score guarantee a payout?
No. No score can guarantee a firm’s future operations or a payout. Eligibility, trading behavior and the specific agreement all matter.
