Firms can’t pay for votes or awards. Affiliate deals make no difference. How we review firms.

Your votes

Pick a firm for any or all of the five awards. Skip any you don’t have a view on.

We may quote you, by first name only, on the results page.

We send a link to confirm your vote.

How the awards are decided

Traders’ Choice: your votes

Five awards go to the firms with the most confirmed votes. One vote per person, counted once it’s confirmed by email.

Data awards: our score

Ten awards use our firm score out of 10: payouts 30%, trust and track record 30%, rules 20%, cost 10%, platforms 10%. Each award is decided by the part that fits it.

Who can’t win

No award, voted or scored, goes to a firm that refused or paused payouts in bulk in the last 12 months, has a suspended Trustpilot rating, carries a caution note or has stopped selling challenges.

Nothing to pay, everything shown

Firms can’t enter, pay or lobby, and affiliate deals make no difference. On 15 December we publish the confirmed vote counts and each winner’s score breakdown.

Questions about voting

Do I have to have traded with the firm?

No, but we ask you to vote for firms you know. Most votes come from traders who have bought a challenge or been paid.

How do you stop people gaming the vote?

Each email address gets one vote, and it only counts once you confirm it from your inbox. We remove throwaway email addresses and bursts of votes from one place, and firm staff can’t vote. We publish the number of confirmed votes with the results.

How do the votes fit with the other awards?

Your votes decide the five Traders’ Choice awards. The other ten awards are judged on our firm score: payouts, trust, rules, cost and platforms. Votes don’t change scores.

Which awards are decided by the score?

Ten of them: Best Overall Prop Firm, Best Futures Prop Firm, Best Forex and CFD Prop Firm, Fastest Payouts, Best Value Prop Firm, Most Trader-Friendly Rules, Best Prop Firm for Beginners, Best Instant Funding Prop Firm, Best New Prop Firm and Best Crypto Prop Firm. The five Traders’ Choice awards are separate and go on votes alone: Best Prop Firm Overall, Best Futures Prop Firm, Best Forex and CFD Prop Firm, Fastest Payouts and Best Customer Support.

What happens to my email address?

We use it to confirm your vote and, only if you tick the box, to send you the weekly email and the results. We never sell it or pass it to a prop firm.

Can a prop firm ask its traders to vote?

Yes, and many will. Firms can share the voting link, but they can’t offer discounts or prizes in return for votes. If they do, we remove those votes.
