ℹ️ About

What this site is

This is a directory of proprietary trading firms — quantitative/institutional houses, retail/funded evaluation programs, and futures-focused firms — built to give traders and researchers a single place to scan the landscape without sifting through promotional material. The directory is content-only: it does not host trading accounts, route orders, or sell challenges. If you're choosing where to apply or trade, treat this site as a starting index — the authoritative source for any firm's current rules and status is always that firm's own site.

What it covers

• Quantitative / institutional firms — hire traders, researchers and engineers as employees, trading firm capital.
• Retail / funded firms — sell evaluations to independent traders and pay a profit share to those who pass.
• Futures firms — specialise in exchange-traded futures, typically with fixed or trailing drawdown models.

How content is produced

Listings are built from publicly available sources — each firm's own site and public third-party aggregator profiles. Where sources disagree, the firm's own site is treated as authoritative; where it's silent, the entry stays general rather than guessed. Fees, splits and rule details are paraphrased, described at a level of generality that survives small changes, and should be re-verified on the firm's own site before any decision.

Editorial approach

• Inclusion in the directory is not for sale — no paid placement, no sponsored listings.
• Outbound links to firm sites are plain links, not affiliate or referral codes.
• Inclusion is not endorsement — a firm appearing here means it is publicly operating, not recommended.
• When a claim can't be backed by a firm's own published material, it doesn't appear in the listing.

Important — please read

Not financial advice. Nothing here is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Trading involves substantial risk.

No endorsement. Listing is not a recommendation or a guarantee of legitimacy — verify a firm's current rules and standing on its own site.

Information may be out of date. The industry moves quickly; individual entries can lag firm-level changes despite review cycles.

Your own diligence matters. Check payout history, terms of service, and regulatory status yourself before sending money or trading — the red flags checklist is a useful starting point.
