This page collects the prop trading articles signed by the Prop Firm Desk. There are 5 pages in the list. Two cover the basics: what proprietary trading is and how a funded trading account works. One sets out the rules and requirements most prop firms use. Another goes through the rules at a single firm, FundingPips. The last is a write-up from a prop firm expo. Above the list is a strip of discount codes, each linked to our review of that firm. Challenges cost money, and trading carries a real risk of loss. Nothing here is financial advice.
Prop Trading Articles
Read our 5 guides on how prop trading works, what a funded account is and how challenge rules apply, then follow the links through to individual prop firm reviews.
Where to start in the article list
If prop trading is new to you, read the articles in order of scope. Start with what a funded trading account is. It explains the basic deal: you pay a fee, trade under the firm’s rules, and share profits if you pass. Then read prop firm rules and requirements. That article covers the limits that decide whether a challenge passes or fails, such as daily loss caps, overall drawdown, profit targets and minimum trading days. The FundingPips article shows those general rules applied to one firm, which helps when you read a firm’s own terms. The event write-up is background reading and does not compare firms. To compare specific firms, go to our prop firm reviews. Each review covers prices, payouts and rules in one place.
How to read the offers strip
Each entry in the strip shows a firm name, a rating figure, a discount label or the words “promo code”, and the code itself. Firms set their own codes and terms. A code may apply only to certain account sizes, to first purchases, or for a limited period. Before you pay, check at the firm’s checkout that the code works and what it actually reduces. The firm name links to our review, where you can see what the challenge costs before any discount. More codes are on the offers page. We have no paid partnerships and no affiliate links. Links to firms go to their official sites and carry rel=“nofollow sponsored”, as explained on how we make money.
How the articles and reviews are sourced
The Prop Firm Desk writes these articles and the prop firm reviews they link to. Our Data Research Team checked 73 prop firms by opening each official site in a real browser from a server in Tallinn, Estonia, at desktop and phone screen sizes. Prices and rules come from the firms’ own pages. A fact is kept only if its exact quote appears word for word in the page text we captured. This gave us 736 recorded prop firm account prices. If a price appears only after login, we say so and record no price. We do not buy challenges, trade or request payouts. Prop firm scores are computed by code from Trustpilot data, profit split, payout schedule, years in business and challenge price. The weights are set out in our methodology.
FAQ
Are the discount codes on this page tested?
We do not buy challenges, so we have not redeemed these codes at checkout. Firms set their own codes, and the terms can change or apply only to some account sizes. Enter the code at the firm's own checkout and confirm the reduced price before you pay.
Does Fintrev earn money if I use one of these codes?
No. Fintrev currently has no paid partnerships and no affiliate links. No firm can pay for a review, a score or a place on our pages. If partner links are ever added, the Advertising disclosure page and the links themselves will say so.
Which article should I read first?
Start with the overview of funded trading accounts, then read the article on prop firm rules and requirements. Together they explain how challenges, drawdown limits and profit targets work. The FundingPips rules article then shows those ideas at a single firm.
Did your team trade with these firms or pass their challenges?
No. We open each firm's official site in a browser, capture its pages and record prices and rules from them. We do not open accounts, deposit money, buy challenges, trade or request withdrawals, and our reviews never claim that we did.
