About PropFirm Alert
The online prop-firm industry grew faster than anyone could police it. PropFirm Alert is the independent newsroom built to keep watch — for the traders, not the firms.
Why we exist
Thousands of traders pay for evaluations and “funded” accounts every week, often on the strength of slick marketing and affiliate-driven hype. When payouts get denied, rules change overnight, or “funded” turns out to mean another simulation, traders rarely have anywhere independent to turn. We are that place.
What we do
- Collect reports from traders through a confidential tip-line.
- Investigate patterns — payout disputes, drawdown traps, misleading terms, reset-fee models and marketing tactics.
- Maintain a watchlist of firms, reflecting the reports we receive and our review stage.
- Publish explainers so traders can spot red flags before they pay.
How we stay independent
PropFirm Alert is reader-funded. We do not take money from the firms we cover, and we do not run affiliate links to evaluation programs we report on. Our standards for sourcing, verification, right of reply and corrections are set out in our Editorial Policy.
What we are not
We are not a prop firm, a broker, or a financial adviser. Nothing we publish is financial, investment or trading advice (see our Disclaimer). We are not affiliated with any firm we cover, and naming a firm is not an accusation of criminal conduct.
Are you a firm we’ve mentioned? We offer a right of reply and publish corrections. Get in touch with the desk.
