Display order and source ratings
FundedNext and FTMO are pinned first by a display preference. Other firms follow the selected sort order. Placement does not establish a statistical ranking or recommendation.
Pass rates and hidden risk
Pass rates, risk labels, and A–E grades are imported from PropFirmGrades where a matching firm can be identified. We preserve that publisher’s Reported, Estimate, and Third-party labels. Reported means the comparison source uses that label; it does not mean we independently audited a provider’s records.
Additional pass rates labeled Community come from PropTradingArea trader feedback. These are self-selected community statistics, not audited provider-wide results. Additional risk labels are that publisher's opinions about rule transparency. Different publishers use different methods, and their figures are not directly comparable.
Hidden risk and overall grades are the source’s assessments. They should be interpreted with the source review and the exact provider account terms. We do not replace missing pass rates with invented numbers or transfer a grade between similarly named companies.
Category shortlists
Market, platform, challenge type, trading permission, and payout-cycle filters use the imported directory profile from PropFirmEdge. Official provider pages and help centers supply additional field evidence. The under-$100 collection uses listed USD fees and excludes explicitly deferred-payment entries. Provider terms can differ by plan, and the shortlist is not an endorsement.
