Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about prop firms and how PropMason works.
A prop firm funds traders with its capital. Traders pass an evaluation, then trade a funded account and keep a share of profits (typically 70-90%).
Proprietary (prop) trading firms provide traders with company capital to trade financial markets. The typical flow: you pay an evaluation fee, pass a challenge by meeting profit targets without exceeding drawdown limits, then receive a funded account. Profits are split between you and the firm. Key metrics to compare: drawdown rules (trailing vs static vs EOD), profit targets, payout frequency, and allowed trading instruments. PropMason tracks all these data points across dozens of firms to help you make informed decisions.
Our composite score weighs 12+ quantitative metrics: drawdown limits, profit splits, payout speed, account sizes, allowed tools, and historical rule stability.
PropMason uses a purely data-driven scoring system with zero affiliate bias. The overall score (0-10) is computed from quantitative factors including: maximum drawdown percentage, daily drawdown limits, profit split ratio, profit-to-drawdown ratio (PD ratio), minimum and maximum account sizes, evaluation steps required, payout frequency and minimums, allowed trading tools (EA, HFT, copy trading), platform availability, average spreads, and historical rule change frequency. We also monitor for silent rule changes that firms make without announcement, which negatively impacts their score.
Some links here earn us a commission, and we disclose them. No firm can pay for a rank, a score, or a review. Data comes from official firm pages, dated at the time we read it.
Some links on PropMason earn us a commission when you sign up with a firm, and we disclose those on our affiliate disclosure page. The commission buys nothing else. No firm pays for a higher rank, a better score, or a review, and we don't run sponsored content. Scores are built from the firm's own pages and terms documents, each observation dated so you can see how current it is, using the method published on our methodology page. When a firm quietly changes a rule, our monitoring catches it and the change goes into the public changelog whether the firm announced it or not. Think a score or a link is wrong? Email support@propmason.com with the URL and what you saw, and we'll correct it.
Automated crawlers check firm websites daily. Rule changes are detected within 24 hours and logged with old/new values in the public changelog.
Our automated monitoring system crawls prop firm websites, terms pages, and FAQ sections daily. When a rule change is detected (e.g., drawdown limit changed from 5% to 4%), it's logged with the old value, new value, detection date, source URL, and change type (announced vs silent vs detected). The public changelog on each firm's page shows the complete history. Page data is statically generated and revalidated hourly (ISR) to balance freshness with performance. Manual reviews happen weekly for qualitative data like risk analysis and editorial summaries.
Yes. Our comparison tool lets you select 2-4 firms and view metrics side-by-side: drawdown rules, profit splits, account sizes, platforms, and scores.
The comparison feature at /compare allows you to select multiple prop firms and view all their metrics in a structured side-by-side table. Compared dimensions include: evaluation structure (steps, targets, time limits), risk management (drawdown type, max drawdown, daily limits), economics (profit split, payout frequency, payout minimums), trading conditions (spreads, platforms, allowed tools), and overall scores. You can share comparison links with others. The comparison data uses the same cached dataset as the main listings, so it's always up-to-date.
