Prop Trading Report · free
Prop firms, compared independently
Our Prop Trading Report shows, firm by firm, how well the payouts are documented, which rules put you under pressure and who a firm suits. We earn nothing from any of them.
The report is published in German first. We are considering an English edition without the chapters on German, Austrian and Swiss tax. Leave your email if you would read it, and we will let you know what we decide.

What is inside
Three questions for every firm
We do not give an overall score. A firm that suits a scalper can be the wrong one for someone who holds positions overnight. So we answer the same three questions for every firm.
How well are the payouts documented?
What is publicly known about a firm’s payouts, with source and date. Independently verified figures are kept apart from what a firm publishes about itself.
Which rules put you under pressure?
Trailing drawdown, consistency rules, minimum trading days, time limits: we show which rules apply at which firm and what they ask of you in day-to-day trading.
Who does the firm suit?
Whether you hold trades for minutes or days, trade futures or CFDs, are starting out or already have a strategy: we show who a firm suits and who it does not.
Plus the basics: how prop firms make money and why the challenge is closer to a final exam than a first step.
Where we stand
A path, not the goal
Prop trading can be one way to trade with someone else’s capital. It is neither the goal nor a cure-all. Before you buy a challenge, you should know what you are signing up for: what a rule means in practice, what a payout requires and what it costs if it does not work out.
We earn nothing from any firm. The report contains no affiliate links and no discount codes, and no prop firm pays us a commission.
