About us
We've read every rulebook so you pass.
Proptary is a premium intelligence service for traders navigating the prop-firm landscape. We analyze rulebooks, verify payout proofs, and surface red flags, so you can focus on trading, not research.
Our Mission
Prop trading offers retail traders a path to capital — but the fine print often hides traps. Inconsistent rules, vague payout timelines, and conflicting testimonials make it hard to separate signal from noise.
Proptary exists to cut through the marketing. We read every rulebook, verify every claim, and publish what actually matters: payout proof, rule changes, and the firms worth trusting.
Founded by traders who've passed challenges, failed evaluations, and seen the industry from the inside — we know what questions to ask and which answers to doubt.
What We Do
Rule Explainers
We decode rulebooks line-by-line: max loss limits, scaling plans, prohibited strategies, and the fine print that can disqualify you. No marketing spin — just the rules that actually govern your account.
Payout Verification
We collect and verify payout proofs: screenshots, transaction IDs, and trader testimonials. Only firms with documented proof earn our endorsement. Anonymous claims are marked as unverified.
Red Flags & Warnings
When rule changes happen mid-challenge, withdrawal delays exceed stated timelines, or traders report consistent account closures — we document it. Our Red Flags section surfaces patterns that matter.
Health Scores
Our Health Score aggregates payout reliability, rulebook clarity and fairness, track record, and community sentiment into a single A-to-F grade. We publish exactly how it's calculated, so you can check our work. See the full methodology. Use it as a starting filter before doing your own research.
Our Standards
- 01Primary-source rulebooks — We pull rules from official terms, not third-party summaries. When rules conflict, we cite the authoritative version and date it.
- 02Verified payouts only — Screenshots must include transaction IDs or bank references. Anonymous testimonials are flagged as unverified. Firms with zero documented payouts are marked accordingly.
- 03Independence — Sponsorship buys coverage and placement, never the score. Paid coverage is clearly labeled, and the Health Score is computed from rulebook and payout data only. Any affiliate links are disclosed on firm pages and never affect a score or a red flag.
- 04Corrections & updates — When firms update rules or traders report new data, we revise our analysis. Contact us with evidence if you spot an error, We fix mistakes publicly.
