Prop firm rating: real money or simulation?
Grouped by whose money you trade after you pass. Tap a firm for the full review.
✓ Places in this rating are not for sale. ✓ We only partner with firms that give traders real capital.
Score out of 100 by our methodology. What we could not verify counts as average (50 of 100), so a score can change when a firm publishes more. Firms can send corrections.
If you pass the challenge and the firm keeps you on a simulated account, you are trading against the firm.
If it gives you a real account with real money, your profit is its profit — the firm needs you to win.
