PropShopTrader
Estonian, unregulated by its own account, and the one firm in this register whose numbers we could not read off our own copy: every drawdown, MAE cap and position limit is published inside tables our capture flattened into one cell per line, so eleven futures plans carry a verified price and almost no verified figure. What the firm states in sentences is the shape, and the shape is unusual — the evaluation floor is a "max trailing drawdown" whose stopping point appears nowhere on the site, while the funded stage is the kinder half: "Static drawdown mirrors the tier demonstrated during Evaluation and does not trail upward as profits increase." Underneath both sits a per-trade cap of "50% of the original account drawdown" which, on Forge and Sprint, ends the account on the first breach and counts an open trade's unrealised loss, so no exit discipline protects against it.
The cash path is capped hard and answered twice in opposite directions. A Light futures account can be paid $3,000 in its whole life on the 25K and $6,000 on the 50K; a Forge account $6,250 and $12,000; the Sprint payout account is the only futures product with a published share — "90/10 split: you may receive 90% of each requested payout" — and it is also the only one that "cannot be reset", so one breach of a per-trade cap that sits below its own daily loss limit ends the account for good. Meanwhile the site sells "Two clear compensation tracks: Sim Payouts on Futures and Signing Bonuses on Stocks ." and its own legal disclosures answer that "PropShopTrader does not provide payouts, profit sharing, or compensation of any kind based on simulated trading activity or simulated trading results." Both were read the same day, on the same domain. The contract behind all of it never uses the word drawdown once in 67,000 characters, sets Estonian law in one clause and "the laws of Canada" in another, reserves the right to change the rules in a way that "may affect the Services that were ordered or booked before the notification of the change", and leaves the seller of the product as an unfilled template bracket in its payment clause.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
We read this firm plan by plan, and its numbers are published — they live in the derived evidence on its card, not in the five-axis sieve the tiers are ranked on. The grade here is the evidence itself: three answers and a payment-promise score, each computed from the firm’s own documents with a citation behind every input. What it does not have is the hand-written scorecard a tier requires.

What they published
“Static drawdown mirrors the tier demonstrated during Evaluation and does not trail upward as profits increase.”“Gladiator Sprint and Gladiator Forge accounts are governed by a single instant-fail trigger – Single-Trade MAE. The first occurrence of that trigger fails the account immediately. Trigger – Single-Trade MAE. The account fails the moment any open trade’s unrealized loss reaches the MAE Cap, or any single trade closes with a realized loss equal to or greater than that threshold.”“PropShopTrader does not provide payouts, profit sharing, or compensation of any kind based on simulated trading activity or simulated trading results.”Plan by plan

$299 one-time. The card prints a trailing drawdown, an MAE threshold and a position limit; our copy split every one of them off its label, so the plan is priced and otherwise unquantified. Where the trailing stops is not published anywhere on the site.
$499 one-time, and the same shape as the 25K card: every risk figure on it is a bare value under a bare label in our copy.
$349 one-time — fifty dollars more than the same account measured intraday, which is the firm pricing its own two floors. The one rule it publishes in a quotable line is that there is no consistency requirement.
$599 one-time, a hundred dollars over the intraday version of the same account. Consistency is denied in writing; nothing else on the card survived our capture.
$295 for half the account the intraday card sells at $299, and that difference is what carrying risk overnight costs here. Overnight and weekend holding is allowed in writing, no minimum trading days are required, and the firm says in the same breath that it is not responsible if the account fails on an opening gap.
$595 one-time, the same overnight permission and the same disclaimer of the risk it creates.
No warnings: the first single-trade MAE breach ends the account, and it fires on an open position's unrealised loss. On Forge the daily loss limit — sold as a soft breach that only locks you out — is set to the same figure as that fatal cap, so one trade reaching the soft limit has reached the hard one. Nothing in the archive says what a Forge account costs to buy.
The end-of-day variant of the same product, with a slightly tighter MAE cap. Every citable fact is identical to the intraday version, because the difference between them lives only in the table our copy flattened.
The only product on the site with a profit target written in a sentence: six per cent, reachable in a single trading day, with no clock against it. It pays nothing itself — passing buys the right to sign for the payout account — and you may hold as many attempts as you like, because Sprint evaluations do not count against the twenty-account limit. Its purchase price is not published in the archive.
The account that pays, and the one the firm will not sell you back: it cannot be reset at any price. The single-trade MAE that ends it is $500 on the 25K against a daily loss limit of $625, so the fatal threshold is reached before the one that merely locks you out — and it counts unrealised loss on an open position. The balance you must hold to be paid is published; the Drawdown Floor it is built on is used twice and defined nowhere.
The only door here that does not begin with an evaluation, and the only plan whose floor does not move: three to six months of verified live broker history, no application fee and no buy-in, then a static drawdown, an 80/20 split and no payout caps. What is not published is the number that decides when you first get paid — the firm says qualifying profitable days are required and never says how many — nor the daily loss limit, nor what any rung of its five-phase scaling ladder actually requires.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
—
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
1/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
3/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.

“Sudden, unexplained contract size escalation”“Futures: 1-5 contracts (or micro equivalent)”No score here, on purpose. The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

Forge accounts reach Move Live eligibility at Benchmark 7. Light accounts receive an automatic RPTA call-up at Benchmark 8.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.
How hard the test is

Days you have to finishNo such thing in this plan.—
“The Spartan Program provides a structured entry path for experienced traders with verifiable live broker performance. Qualified traders may begin directly in a Real Prop Trading Account without participating in the Evaluation phase.”A deadline turns a test of skill into a test of whether the market happened to move during your month.
Trading days you must put inNo such thing in this plan.—
“The Spartan Program provides a structured entry path for experienced traders with verifiable live broker performance. Qualified traders may begin directly in a Real Prop Trading Account without participating in the Evaluation phase.”Cuts both ways: it costs you time, and it also stops an account passing on one lucky afternoon you could never repeat.

“The Spartan Program provides a structured entry path for experienced traders with verifiable live broker performance. Qualified traders may begin directly in a Real Prop Trading Account without participating in the Evaluation phase.”Below 60% read we publish no number at all, because a grade computed from two facts out of six is not a lenient grade — it is a different measurement wearing the same label.

“These Trading Integrity Standards are incorporated into all program agreements and related policies.”If the rule that binds you lives in a help article your contract never mentions, you did not sign it.
Can it change the rules without noticeyes, and it says so0.60/3
“The Provider reserves the right to unilaterally change the fees and content of the Services and evaluation programs at any time, including the requirements for their successful implementation, or to discontinue them. The change may affect the Services that were ordered or booked before the notification of the change.”The clause that makes every dated verdict perishable, including ours.

“All trademarks, logos, trade names and other designations are the property of the Provider or its licensors, and the Provider does not grant you permission to use them.”Signing with a company other than the brand’s owner separates who sold to you from who answers to you.
Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.
The people behind it are named
The market
Do your orders reach a market, or is all of it a simulation?
What the funded account issimulated, with a published route to a live stage2/4
“These disclosures apply to PropShopTrader’s programs, including all evaluation programs, assessment environments, and any potential access to live trading through third-party regulated brokerage partners.”The question that separates a firm that earns when you lose from one that earns when you last.
Conditions to reach a real marketpublished2/2
“A minimum of 5 Benchmarks on Sprint, or 6 Benchmarks on Forge, or 6 to 8 Benchmarks on Light accounts are required for Real Prop consideration. Forge accounts reach Move Live eligibility at Benchmark 7. Light accounts receive an automatic RPTA call-up at Benchmark 8.”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
Almost none names a broker or a clearing house either, and that follows from the account being a simulation rather than being a second, separate failing. Charging for both would count one fact twice.
We read the rules of every plan it sells and issued a verdict on each one.
