Prop firms ranked by whether they actually pay.

Everyone lists profit splits. We score payout evidence, drawdown mechanics, hidden fees and counterparty risk — so the challenge fee you pay has a route to a withdrawal.

Payout-proof scoring

Each firm is scored on how publicly its withdrawals are evidenced, not on marketing claims.

Rule mechanics decoded

Trailing vs static drawdown, consistency rules and reset fees — the terms that actually fail traders.

Live discount codes

Verified against each firm's checkout, so your first evaluation costs as little as possible.

Prop firm questions, answered

Which prop firm pays out fastest?
Funding Pips runs a five-day payout cycle and Take Profit Trader allows on-demand withdrawals after five trading days. Topstep pays weekly with a published payout report.
What is a trailing drawdown and why does it matter?
A trailing drawdown moves your stop-out level up as your balance grows, so unrealised profit can lock in a tighter loss limit. End-of-day trailing and static drawdown are far more forgiving for intraday traders.
Are prop firm accounts real money?
Most funded accounts are simulated, and the firm pays you from its own revenue based on your simulated performance. That is why payout evidence matters more than any advertised profit split.
How much should a first evaluation cost?
In futures, $30-60 with a discount code is normal. In forex, expect $50-350 depending on account size. Never buy your largest account first.
