How we score prop firms
Every firm gets 0 to 10, worked out the same way each time from information you can check: published prices and rules, plus the Trustpilot rating.
The basics
Every firm gets 0 to 10, worked out the same way each time from information you can check: published prices and rules, plus the Trustpilot rating.
Trustpilot: 40%
What customers say is the best clue to whether a firm pays, so it gets the biggest weight. No rating yet? We use the other three parts and flag it in the review.
Split: 20%
70% scores nothing, 100% scores full marks.
Price: 20%
The cheapest $100,000 challenge with 80%+ split, pay-after-pass left out. $200 or less is full marks; $650 or more is zero.
Freedom: 20%
Seven styles: news trading, weekend holding, expert advisors, hedging, scalping, copy trading, martingale. Allowed 1, restricted 0.5, banned 0.
What doesn't count
Commissions. Some links pay us; the formula doesn't care.
