How this page is made
- Each firm is judged on its main program at 50K, with the rules from its own help pages. We check those pages regularly, most of them automatically every day.
- A rule only gets a "leads" card when the firms differ on it; where every firm has the same rule, there is nothing to pick.
- Prices are left out: prop firms run discounts most weeks, so a price would be out of date within days.
- No firm pays to appear here or to be listed higher. Some firm links are affiliate links; they never change the values, the cards or the order, which is alphabetical.
- If you work at one of these firms and a value looks wrong, write to hello@propruleguard.com; we fix it from your official page.
