Full transparency on two things that matter: how this site is funded, and the real risk involved in trading futures and prop firm evaluations.
TradingVerdict is reader-supported. When you click some of the links on this site and sign up with a prop firm, broker or tool, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Links that pay us are marked with an ad label and use rel="sponsored".
That commission is what funds the evaluation accounts we buy and trade every month. It keeps the lights on so we can keep testing.
It does not, and will not, affect our rankings or verdicts. A firm cannot pay to rank higher, to be featured, or to have a criticism removed. Scores are decided by our testing before any commercial conversation happens — and they do not move afterwards. When a firm with an affiliate deal fails a payout or tightens a rule unfairly, its score drops anyway.
Read exactly how we score on our methodology page.
Trading futures and other leveraged products carries a high level of risk and can result in losses that exceed your initial outlay. It is not suitable for everyone. Only risk capital you can afford to lose entirely.
Prop firm evaluation accounts are simulated. Most prop firm challenges and funded accounts are traded in a demo or simulated environment. Simulated performance has inherent limitations and does not represent real trading. Results obtained on a simulated account will not necessarily be repeated on a live account.
Evaluation fees, reset fees and activation fees are generally non-refundable, and most participants do not pass an evaluation or reach a payout. Past payouts — ours or anyone else's — are not a guarantee of future results.
Nothing on this site is financial, investment, legal or tax advice. Our verdicts are independent opinions based on our own testing, provided for informational purposes only. We are not your broker, adviser or fiduciary. Do your own research and consider seeking advice from a licensed professional before committing money to any firm or trade.
By using TradingVerdict, you accept that any decision you make based on the information here is your own responsibility, and that we are not liable for any losses arising from those decisions.
