OUR MISSION

Complete Reviews of the Best Prop Trading Firms

PropFirmAuthority exists to cut through the marketing hype. We buy challenges, trade the rules, wait on real payouts, and publish what actually happens — so you can fund a live account with confidence instead of guesswork.

WHAT WE COVER

Forex, Futures & Crypto Prop Firms

We track every major funded-trading program across all three asset classes and rank them on the criteria that actually cost you money.

Forex Trading

Challenges, evaluation phases, spreads and slippage on the majors. We funded-test each firm’s forex programs and confirm the rules hold at scale.

Futures Prop Firms

CME margin, drawdown models and scaling plans. Straight answers on which futures programs pay and why.

Crypto Challenges

Crypto-exclusive & multi-pair firms. Funding terms, VPN rules and payout proof for digital asset traders.

OUR STORY

Built by Traders, for Traders

PropFirmAuthority started when a small group of funded traders kept losing money to firms with impossible rules, hidden fees, and payouts that never arrived. We refused to accept that ‘the fine print’ has to be a surprise.

Today we list and review the funding programs traders actually talk about. Every review is hands-on: we open real challenges, trade under the exact drawdown rules, and report on the payout process end to end — from profit split to the day funds land in your account.

We fund it through a small affiliate commission you’re never charged, and it never buys a rating. Our rankings move only on data, tracked payouts and community proof — not on who spends the most on advertising.

HOW WE RANK

The Ground Rules Behind Every Review

Every firm on this site is scored on the same five pillars, pulled from the actual contract — not the landing page.

1. Profit target & trailing drawdown

2. Fees, add-ons & funding minimums

3. Payout speed & profit split

4. Trading rules, news & drawdown limits

5. Support, reviews & trust signals
