How We Review Prop Firms

Select Prop Firms compares prop trading firms on their rules, prices and payouts. Every profile and review follows the same process, whether or not the firm has a commercial relationship with the site.

Where firm data comes from

Each firm’s rules, drawdown limits, profit split, payout policy, programs and list prices are taken from the firm’s own website, help centre and terms. Each item is recorded with the source it came from. Other review and comparison sites are not used as sources. If a rule or price cannot be confirmed from the firm’s own material, it is left out rather than estimated.

Dates on reviews

Every written review states the date on which the firm’s rules and prices were checked. Prop firms change their programs, prices and rules often, so the date shows how current the information is. Before buying a challenge, confirm the terms on the firm’s own site.

Ratings

The ratings shown on firm profiles are Trustpilot scores. Where Trustpilot shows no rating for a firm, including where it has withheld one for a breach of its guidelines, the profile shows no rating either.

Trustpilot is the only outside source we use, and only for that star rating, which is always labelled as Trustpilot’s. It never feeds into a firm’s rules, prices or payout data, which come only from the firm itself.

What a review covers

Each review explains how the firm’s programs work and sets out who the firm suits and who it does not, with the pros and cons of its rules, pricing and payout terms.

Commercial relationships

Some firms pay Select Prop Firms a commission when a reader buys a challenge through a link on the site, and some firms feature offers such as discount codes. These arrangements do not change a firm’s rules data, its review or its rating. How Select Prop Firms makes money sets out these arrangements in full.

How often we check

Each review shows the date its rules and prices were last checked against the firm’s own site. We check a firm again when it announces a change to its rules, prices or payout terms, when a reader tells us something is out of date, and whenever we update its review.

When a firm closes, pauses new challenges or stops paying, it comes out of every shortlist as soon as we confirm it, and its profile becomes a status page. The prop firm status tracker lists every closure, pause and major rule change we have recorded, with dates.

Independence

Select Prop Firms is independent. It doesn’t own, run or invest in any prop firm, and no prop firm owns any part of it. A firm can’t pay for a place in a ranking or to change what a review says. Some firms pay to feature an exclusive offer, and those offers are always labelled. How we make money sets out every way the site earns.
