How we review prop firms
Facts first, fair comparisons and opinions labeled as opinions.
General is not In-House
The General Score compares structured, sourced data within a firm’s market and program structure. The In-House Score is a disclosed USATraderDeals opinion formed only after three qualified traders test separate company-provided accounts.

How an In-House Review earns publication
- Select three qualified traders with documented experience.
- Provide separate accounts without requiring a positive conclusion.
- Record onboarding, rules, platform behavior, support and progression.
- Document the payout process only when a trader legitimately qualifies.
- Separate repeated patterns from isolated experiences and offer a factual right of reply.
- Publish score, tester count, dates, evidence, limitations and disclosures.
Sources beyond the company website
Research may include official terms, pricing, payout policies, help centers, status pages, archived changes, public social media, review platforms, Discord groups, trading communities, business records and privacy-protected trader evidence.
A repeated claim is not automatically a verified claim. Material facts need a source, observation date and confidence status.
