Transparency Report & Scoring Methodology

Our commitment to transparency in evaluating proprietary trading firms.

Our TrustScore Methodology

How We Evaluate Prop Firms

Our proprietary TrustScore is calculated through a weighted system encompassing seven key categories, providing a thorough and impartial assessment of each prop trading firm. This methodology ensures that every firm listed is evaluated consistently based on critical performance and transparency metrics.

The scoring methodology applies predefined weights to each category, reflecting its relevance to trader experience and firm credibility. Categories may include factors such as pricing structure, program rules, reputation, payout reliability, and more. This structured approach ensures a balanced comparison across firms, regardless of marketing claims or popularity.

Please note: For any user-generated category, its data will be excluded from the TrustScore calculation until at least 10 user contributions have been received for that category. Only then will it be incorporated into the overall score visible to users.
