We started Propfirmlion for one reason: too many traders were getting tripped up by confusing rules, moving targets, and payout surprises. We’re here to fix that. If a prop firm is fair, we’ll say it. If a rule is a hidden landmine, we’ll call it out—plain and simple.
Our goal is to help traders choose funding programs with confidence, without wading through marketing noise. We obsess over the fine print so traders don’t have to.
Our Story
Propfirmlion began as a small side project—just a handful of long nights, a lot of coffee, and a shared frustration about unclear evaluations. We started breaking down prop firm rules line by line, and traders began sharing those guides. Before long, it turned into a community: real experiences, real reviews, and real talk about what actually works.
We’re still that same team—small, focused, and transparent. No fluff, no hype, just straight answers.
Meet the Team
- Joyas — Chief Editor
The voice and backbone of Propfirmlion. Joyas sets our editorial standards, fact-checks every review, and makes sure we never trade honesty for clicks. - Rima — Research & Community
Rima keeps a finger on the pulse: policy updates, payout timelines, user reports, and community patterns. If rules change on a Friday night, Rima knows by Saturday morning. - Joyusha — Testing & Quality
From challenge walkthroughs to platform quirks, Joyusha pressure-tests the details. If something breaks the trader experience, it gets flagged—and fixed in our content.
We’re small by design. It keeps us close to the work and honest with the results.
What We Do
- We read the fine print so traders don’t get blindsided.
- We compare firms the way traders actually choose: by rules, payouts, and how it feels to trade there—not by slogans.
- We update quickly when firms change policies, add restrictions, or improve their terms.

In-Depth Prop Firm Reviews
What’s included in every review:
- Evaluation models: 1-step, 2-step, 3-step, instant/direct funding.
- Rule clarity: profit targets, minimum days, daily drawdown, max loss, consistency rules.
- Trading freedom: news trading, scalping, EAs, copy trading, hedging, weekend holding.
- Costs and cash flow: fees, refunds, profit split, payout schedule, processing times, KYC.
- The trading environment: spreads, commissions, leverage, platforms (MT4/MT5, cTrader, TradingView), instruments.
- Trust signals: ownership transparency, years active, support quality, community sentiment.
Bottom line: each review ends with plain-English pros/cons and a “watch out for this” section.
Head-to-Head Comparisons
We put firms side by side and answer the real questions:
- Which one is kinder to scalpers?
- Which allows news trading without gotchas?
- Which pays out faster and more consistently?
- Which has a more forgiving daily drawdown?
The result is an at-a-glance table plus a simple recommendation for different trader types.
Rule Guides and How-Tos
We break down the stuff most traders wish someone had explained earlier:
- Daily drawdown vs. max loss (and how they’re actually calculated).
- Consistency rules and common breach traps.
- News-event trading: what’s allowed, what’s risky, and how to avoid instant violations.
- Smart challenge strategy: risk caps, position sizing, and keeping a smooth equity curve.
- EA and copy trading rules—what’s compliant and what gets flagged.
Funded Trader Playbooks
Practical checklists and workflows:
- Payout prep: the docs, the timing, the common delays.
- Scaling strategies: when to level up, and how to protect bigger accounts.
- Risk setups: daily/weekly caps that survive volatility.
- Journaling and review routines that actually improve results.
Deals and Alerts
We track fee discounts, retake/refund policies, and short-lived promos. When there’s a catch, we spell it out. A deal should help a trader—not push them into a tougher rule set.
Tools and Vendor Picks (Independent)
We test and shortlist tools for journaling, risk dashboards, and automation that play nicely with prop rules. If we partner, we disclose—our recommendations stay editorial-first.
How We Work
- Policy-first: we read terms, FAQs, Discord notices, and change logs. Then we verify.
- Practical testing: where possible, we run through evaluations to understand the real friction points.
- Fast updates: if a firm changes rules, we refresh reviews with clear timestamps.
- Integrity over hype: affiliate revenue never dictates ratings. If trust slips, scores change.
Who We’re For
- New traders figuring out their first challenge.
- Experienced traders optimizing for payout speed and rule flexibility.
- Algo and discretionary traders needing clarity on EAs, hedging, and copy trading.
- Global traders comparing payment rails, platforms, and regional limits.
What We Believe
- Clarity is a trading edge. Knowing the rules cold prevents expensive mistakes.
- One-size-fits-all advice doesn’t work. The “best” firm depends on strategy and risk tolerance.
- Transparency builds trust. If we’re unsure, we say so. If we’re wrong, we fix it.

A Note on Independence
We may use affiliate links to keep the site free. Our editorial line doesn’t bend for revenue—ever. If a firm adds hidden restrictions or slows payouts, it will show up in our reviews, even if it costs us.
Final Word
Prop trading can be a great path—if the rules are fair and the expectations are real. Our promise is simple: clear explanations, current information, and respectful guidance. We do the digging; traders keep the edge.
