The prop firms we trust — judged on years operating, company transparency and a verified payout record.
Prop firms are not regulated brokers. They sell simulated trading evaluations, so no financial regulator supervises them or guarantees your payouts. There is no licence to check — only company transparency, years operating and a verified payout record. These are the two we consider safe enough to name.
FTMO
FTMO
Operating since 2015 from Prague — the longest-running major prop firm, with no payout scandal in ten years.
Registered as FTMO s.r.o. / FTMO Evaluation Global in the Czech Republic.
Bought OANDA, a fully regulated broker, in 2025 — financial strength no other prop firm can match.
Up to 90% profit split, scaling to $2M, and your challenge fee refunded with the first payout.
A 1-Step Challenge was added in 2026. Note: FTMO no longer accepts US traders.
Checking another firm? Our licence checker covers 49 prop firms, including 11 that have already shut down. Prop firm data last reviewed July 2026. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy a challenge, or financial advice.
