About Review Propfirm — Our Review Method

Who we are

Review Propfirm is an independent publisher covering the prop trading sector: funding models, risk rules, payout mechanics and the gap between what firms advertise and what their rulebooks actually say. We are not a broker, not a prop firm, and not affiliated with any firm reviewed here.

How a review is built

Read the published objectives. Profit targets, daily and overall loss limits, minimum trading days, consistency requirements, news windows, EA and copy trading policy, leverage and commission — taken from the firm's own documentation, not from a summary of it.
Separate hard from soft. A rule that closes an account and a rule that pauses a payout are not the same thing, and most articles conflate them. We label every rule as a hard breach or a soft breach.
Check the drawdown mechanics. Static or trailing, measured on balance or equity, whether it locks. This single rule decides more outcomes than every other combined, so it gets its own section and a diagram.
Pull the public review record. Rating, review volume and star distribution from Trustpilot, with the date. Individual reviews are quoted verbatim.
Date everything and re-check. Terms in this sector change monthly. Every figure carries the date it was verified.

What we refuse to do

Sell a position. No ranking slot, rating or placement on this site is for sale.
State a competitor's rules from memory. If we have not read it in their current rulebook, we do not publish it as fact.
Translate a trader's review. Reviews are quotations from real people. They appear in their original language in all five editions.
Hide the inconvenient rule. Where a firm's terms work against the trader, that sits in the review in the same size type as the good news.
Invent numbers. No figure appears here without a source we can point to.

How the site makes money

Some links are partner links. If you buy a challenge through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That funds the research, and it is precisely why the method above is written down and public.

Partner status does not buy editorial input. A firm we earn from and a firm we do not are held to the same eleven criteria, and the criteria are published in every review so you can run them yourself.

Corrections

Prop firm terms move fast, and a page that was accurate last month can be wrong today. If you find a figure that no longer matches a firm's current rulebook, tell us and we will check it against the source and correct it with a visible update date. That applies to figures that flatter a firm as much as to figures that do not.

What we are not

Nothing on this site is investment, tax or legal advice. We do not manage money, we do not take deposits, and we are not a party to any agreement between a trader and a firm. Trading involves substantial risk, and the majority of people who buy an evaluation do not complete it — a fact worth holding onto while reading any review, including ours.
