Our Methodology and Editorial Limits

What we will not claim

• • That any firm is “proven to pay”, “guaranteed”, or “always pays”. No outside party can verify that.
• • Any ranking of firms by payout reliability. We publish an unranked list instead.
• • Payout totals, payout counts, processing times, profit splits or thresholds that we have not read in a firm's own current documents. Where we have not, we write “Check current terms”.
• • Screenshots, testimonials, review scores or trader counts. We do not publish any.
• • That any named firm is a bad actor or has refused payouts. Where a detail is missing we describe it neutrally — for example, “the terms do not publish a payout window” — because that is checkable and an accusation is not.

How firms are selected

We cover a deliberately small set of firms rather than every firm in the market, so that each one can actually be read rather than listed. Firms are included when they publish programme rules and payout conditions on their own site, operate a documented evaluation or funding programme, and cover markets our readers ask about. The set is presented in no order of merit, and inclusion is not an endorsement or a statement about any firm's payment history.

Affiliate relationships

Links to firms on this site are affiliate links: if you purchase through one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This is how the site is funded. Commission does not determine ordering, because nothing here is ordered by merit, and it does not change what we are willing to state as fact — which is why so many fields on this site read “Check current terms” rather than a number that would look better.

Where this site ends

This site covers firm reliability and due diligence: how to read terms, which clauses decide payout eligibility, and what to do when a request stalls. The mechanics of payouts themselves — rails, schedules, splits and how a withdrawal is processed — are covered by our sibling site Prop Firm Match Payouts. Nothing here is financial or legal advice.

Corrections

Firm terms change frequently, and a page that was accurate last month may not be today. If you find something on this site that no longer matches a firm's live documents, tell us and we will correct it. Until then, treat the firm's own current terms as the only authority.
