How we grade prop firms
One simple grade from six scores. Getting paid and fair rules count the most, because that's where traders lose money they thought they had earned.
Read the method- A
Excellent
Reliable payouts, clear rules, strong track record.
- B
Good
Solid choice with a few rules to watch.
- C
Average
Usable, but read the hidden rules before you buy.
- D
Weak
Frequent complaints or risky rules. Proceed with care.
- E
Poor
Serious payout or rule problems. We'd avoid it.

Frequently asked questions
Which prop firm is the best right now?
The firm at the top of our table has the best grade today, based on its payout record, rules and real trader reviews. The best choice for you still depends on how you trade, so check the hidden rules and whether news trading, EAs or weekend holding are allowed before you buy.
What do the grades A to E mean?
A is excellent, E is poor. Each grade comes from six scores: payouts (25%), rules (20%), reputation (20%), trading conditions (15%), support (10%) and platforms (10%). The full method is on our How we grade page.
Where do your pass rates come from?
From the firms themselves when they publish them, from independent sources that explain their method, or from our own estimate based on the challenge rules. Every pass rate is labeled so you know which one you're looking at.
What is hidden risk?
Rules that aren't part of the headline target and drawdown but can still cost you an account or a payout: consistency rules, lot caps, news windows, copy-trading bans and broad discretionary clauses. We list them for every firm.
