How we maintain independence in an industry filled with biased reviews and paid placements.
PropFirmCircle was built because we were tired of seeing traders fail evaluations due to hidden rules that review sites neglected to mention. Our mission is to provide the most transparent, data-driven, and unflinchingly honest proprietary trading reviews on the internet.
We do not sell our rankings. A prop firm cannot pay us to increase their score from a 4.0 to a 4.8. Our ratings are strictly generated by our mathematical Methodology scoring system. If a firm denies legitimate payouts, they will be marked as a Scam Risk, regardless of our affiliation.
PropFirmCircle is reader-supported. When you click on links to buy a challenge from some of the firms listed on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. Often, our links actually provide you with a discount code.
However, we list and review major prop firms even if they do not have an affiliate program, or if we have been banned from their affiliate program for giving them a negative review.
Our editorial team is separate from our monetization team. The writers who test the prop firms and write the reviews do not receive bonuses based on which prop firm converts the most sales. Their sole mandate is accuracy.
Every claim regarding a firm's rules (e.g., "no trailing drawdown") is cross-referenced with the firm's official Terms of Service. If a firm changes their rules, we update our database within 48 hours. We constantly monitor Trustpilot and community forums (Discord, Reddit) for payout denial reports.
Did a prop firm recently change their rules, or did we get something wrong? Please let us know.
