Prop Firm Comparison
I have carefully gone through each of these Prop Firms to compare them side-by-side. I have an Affiliate Partnership with many of these firms, although this is objective information up-to-date as of the time it was gathered. Some details may change so please verify. I do my best to maintain this list, you may contact me if you find an error. Using my Links and Discount Codes will get you the current deal at these firms while kicking me a small commission as a “thanks” at no additional cost to you.
