Prop Deal DeskHow this site makes money.
Prop Deal Desk compares what prop firms charge. Anyone reading that should know who pays for it, so this page says so plainly and is kept current with the site rather than written once.
Today
Some links on this site earn it money. The firms below have an affiliate relationship with Prop Deal Desk: if you follow one of those links and buy an evaluation, the site may receive a share of the fee, at no extra cost to you.
Every such link is labelled where it appears. Firms without a relationship are listed on exactly the same terms, and nothing about the arrangement changes a price, a rule or a position on the ledger.
What does not change
- No firm can pay for a place on the ledger or a position in any sort order.
- Prices, coupons and rules come from each firm’s own pages, and every figure links to the source it came from.
- If a link ever earns the site money, it is labelled where it appears, and the firm is named on this page.
The futures ledger defaults to Desk picks: our editorial preference, with Lucid Trading, Tradeify, Take Profit Trader, Apex Trader Funding and My Funded Futures first, in that order, followed by the remaining firms alphabetically. This is an opinion, not a measured rating or community vote. An expired promotion stays marked even when the firm is a pick. You can choose a price-based or other factual sort instead. Forex and crypto default to lowest initial cost.
The trading tools section also carries a Prop Deal Desk top three — three tools the team likes, signed and dated, with a reason beside each that you can check against that tool’s own page. It is an opinion and it is labelled as one. It is not a ranking, not a “best seller” list and not a score: we hold no sales, usage or review data on any vendor, and we have no affiliate relationship with any of the tools listed. Nothing in that strip reorders the directory below it.
What the site does not know
Trader reviews and payout submissions describe a moderated, self-selected sample. Email verification establishes control of an address; receipt review does not independently authenticate bank records. Sample counts and submitted dates accompany public statistics. These are not proof of reliability. Partner sales counts cover confirmed imported referrals, with refunds excluded, rather than market share. Rewards require a matched supported-partner purchase and confirmed program funding.
Accounts store an email address, password hash, sessions and access records. Favorites, opted-in watches, submissions and reward activity are tied to your account. Evidence images are private to owner moderation; redact personal and financial details before uploading. Withdraw submissions from My account to remove public results and erase the image. Transaction and moderation audit records remain for reconciliation. Watch emails include unsubscribe links, and all watches can be disabled from My account.
