Frequently Asked Questions
About PropFirmMaster
What is PropFirmMaster?
PropFirmMaster is an independent review platform for proprietary trading firms. We provide unbiased analysis, verified discount codes, and comprehensive prop firm comparisons to help traders make informed decisions.
how do WE make money?
We earn affiliate commissions when you use our discount codes or links. This doesn’t cost you extra – you get the same price (or better with our codes) whether you use our links or not. Commissions do not influence our reviews or ratings.
Are your reviews biased?
No. While we earn commissions, we maintain strict editorial independence. We test prop firms with our own money, call out red flags, and prioritize trader safety over commissions. Our reviews are based on objective criteria and real testing.
Who writes your reviews?
Our reviews are written by experienced prop traders and analysts, led by Ketty Wingman, our Senior Prop Trading Analyst with 6+ years of industry experience.
Discount Codes
Do your discount codes really work?
Yes. We test every discount code before publishing and verify them regularly. If a code stops working, we update or remove it immediately. Our codes are negotiated directly with prop firms.
Why are your discount codes better than others?
We negotiate exclusive partnerships with prop firms to offer higher discounts than publicly available codes. Many of our codes offer 5-20% more savings than standard promotional codes.
What if a discount code doesn't work?
Contact us immediately at support@propfirmmasters.com. We’ll verify the code and provide an alternative if needed. We update codes daily to ensure accuracy.
Can I use discount codes multiple times?
Most of our codes can be used unlimited times. Check the specific discount code page for any restrictions.
Do discount codes expire?
Some codes have expiration dates. We list expiration information on each discount code page and update it regularly.
Prop Firm Reviews
How do you rate prop firms?
We evaluate prop firms based on multiple criteria: challenge rules, profit splits, platform quality, payout reliability, customer service, transparency, and overall value. Each criterion is weighted and scored objectively.
How often do you update reviews?
We update reviews whenever prop firms change their terms, conditions, or offerings. Major reviews are refreshed quarterly at minimum.
Can I trust your ratings?
Our ratings are based on independent testing and analysis. We purchase challenges with our own money and test platforms firsthand. We also monitor community feedback and payout proofs.
Why isn't [specific prop firm] reviewed yet?
We prioritize reviewing the most popular and requested prop firms. Suggest a prop firm for review by contacting us at support@propfirmmasters.com.
Do prop firms pay for better ratings?
Absolutely not. We do not accept payment for reviews or ratings. All reviews are based purely on merit and testing results.
Prop Firm Trading
What is a prop firm?
A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) funds traders who pass evaluation challenges. Traders trade the firm’s capital and split profits, typically keeping 70-90% of earnings.
Are prop firms legit?
Many prop firms are legitimate businesses, but the industry also includes scams. We help identify trustworthy firms through thorough vetting and testing.
How much does a prop firm challenge cost?
Challenge costs range from $40 to $1,000+ depending on account size. Our discount codes can save you 5-50% on these fees.
What's the success rate for prop firm challenges?
Industry data suggests only 5-15% of traders pass challenges on first attempt. Success requires proper risk management, realistic expectations, and understanding of rules.
Can I make money with prop firms?
Yes, if you pass the challenge and trade profitably. However, most traders lose money on evaluation fees. Prop trading is high-risk and not suitable for everyone.
What's the best prop firm?
There’s no single “best” prop firm – it depends on your trading style, preferred markets, and goals. Check our [comparison page](/best-prop-firms) to find the best fit for you.
