Beat

Prop trading is an industry where the product is a rulebook, and where the rules that decide outcomes are rarely the ones on the pricing page. Jessi's work focuses on that gap: reading published objectives line by line, separating hard breaches from soft ones, and explaining drawdown mechanics in terms a trader can actually plan around.

Method

  • Every figure comes from a firm's own published terms, with the date of the check printed on the page.
  • No competitor rule is stated without having read it in that firm's current documentation.
  • Trader reviews are quoted verbatim from Trustpilot, never paraphrased and never translated.
  • Rules that work against the trader get the same prominence as the ones that do not.
