About us

We built this because we needed it ourselves

PropFirmPrime is run by three people in Delhi. Two of us have been trading since 2019. One of us built the platform. All of us got tired of watching good traders lose money to the wrong firm.

Where this started

We were not planning to build a website. We were trading, and we were struggling with the same thing every prop trader struggles with. Choosing a firm.

You find a firm with a good offer. The rules page is vague. The drawdown is calculated in a way nobody explains clearly. You buy the challenge anyway because the discount expires tonight. Then you breach a rule you did not know existed, or you pass and the payout takes months, or you pass and the firm quietly changes its terms.

We went through this more than once. Between us we bought challenges from firms that looked solid and were not. We read forums full of opinions from people who had never traded with the firm they were defending. We found comparison sites that ranked whichever firm was paying the most that month.

Every time, the information we needed existed somewhere. It was just buried, outdated, or written by someone with a reason to hide it.

Skill was never the problem. Information was.

What we kept noticing

The traders around us were good. Genuinely good. People who sit with charts for hours after a full day of work. People who journal every trade, backtest properly, and manage risk better than most funded traders ever do.

And a lot of them never got anywhere. Not because they could not trade, but because they picked a firm with a trailing drawdown they misunderstood, or a consistency rule that made their strategy impossible, or a payout process that never actually paid.

That is a waste. A trader with a real edge and the right funded account is a serious opportunity. The same trader with the wrong firm is just donating an evaluation fee.

We wanted to fix the part that was fixable.

What we actually do

We research prop firms properly and we write down what we find. That means reading the full terms document, not the landing page. Testing the platform where we can. Tracking rule changes when firms make them quietly. Collecting reviews from traders who have actually been funded and actually been paid.

Then we publish it in plain language, including the parts firms would rather you skipped.

We are not the only comparison site in this space. We know that. What we can promise is that we treat this as research rather than as marketing, and that we cover futures, forex, crypto and options with the same care instead of pushing whichever category pays best.

How we stay honest

We earn commission when someone buys a challenge through our links. We are open about that, and we have set hard limits on what it can influence.

• A firm cannot pay to raise its rating or move up a list.
• A firm cannot pay to remove a bad review or hide a warning.
• We list firms that pay us nothing, including firms we rate poorly.
• If a firm asks us to soften our coverage in exchange for a deal, we refuse and we say so publicly.

Our scoring criteria are published on our Methodology page so you can check our work. Our commercial arrangements are set out in our Affiliate Disclosure.

We would rather grow slowly with a reputation worth something than take a payment to recommend a firm we would not use ourselves.

The team

What we are not

We are not a prop firm. We do not offer funded accounts, hold your money or execute trades. We are not a broker and we are not financial advisers.

Nothing we publish is financial advice. Trading carries real risk, evaluation fees are usually not refundable, and most traders fail challenges. Read the firm's own terms before you pay, and never risk money you cannot afford to lose. We can help you choose better. We cannot make the risk go away.
