About · methodology
Who runs this site, and how the data is made.
The researcher
Oliver — Founder & Researcher
Oliver has researched prop trading firms since 2023 — three years of tracking challenge pricing, rule changes, payout behaviour and trader reviews across CFD, futures and crypto funding. He built and maintains the database this site runs on. Every review, comparison verdict and rule summary on propfirmtrading.net is written or checked by him against that database — currently 31 firms and the analysis of 9,752+ public trader reviews.
Find him on X and Reddit, or email propftrading@gmail.com.
The partnerships desk
Attila — Partnerships & Advertising
Every advertising deal and partner relationship goes through Attila: firm listings, exclusive discount codes, giveaway collaborations and creator partnerships. Keeping the business side in one pair of hands is what lets the research side stay independent — Oliver writes the data, Attila handles the deals, and neither overrules the other. Work with us starts here.
How the site works
Independent prop-firm comparison site tracking CFD, futures and crypto prop trading firms: challenge prices with verified discount codes applied, per-challenge rules, payout terms, trader-review analyses and free comparison tools. Data refreshed by automated daily and weekly checks.
01One database, scraped daily
Every price, rule and payout term on this site lives in a single database. Automated pipelines re-check firm sites daily and weekly; announcements trigger manual verification on top. Every table, chart, comparison and AI answer is generated from that one source, so the site cannot drift out of sync with itself.
02Codes tested at the real checkout
A discount code is listed only after it works at the firm's own checkout, and codes are re-checked weekly. Listed prices already include the code. When a firm has no working code, the page says so plainly — no fake countdown timers, no dead coupons.
03Reviews read the hard way
The review pages are built from thousands of publicly posted trader reviews — score distributions included, one-star reports quoted. Payout-denial patterns and enforcement behaviour get reported alongside the marketing claims, because that gap is exactly what you need to see before paying a fee.
04Affiliate-funded, not firm-funded
The site earns a commission when you buy through a link or code — usually while making your challenge cheaper than buying direct. Firms cannot pay for placement, rankings or scores, and the unflattering findings stay published. That independence is the entire value of this site.
Corrections
Prop firms change prices and rules constantly, and no tracker is perfect. If something here is out of date or wrong, email propftrading@gmail.com — verified corrections ship with the next deploy, usually the same day.
