Why traders trust us

Independent. Audited. Always current.

Prop firms change rules quietly. We audit each firm weekly and publish exactly what changed, when, and what it means for live accounts.

01
Weekly audits

Rule changes flagged within 72 hours.

Every firm we cover is checked weekly against its own published rules. When something shifts — payout cadence, drawdown method, news restrictions — we publish the diff with a timestamp.

38h Average time to publish a rule change
02
Editorial independence

No paid placements, ever.

Our rankings are based on rule transparency, payout history, and trader-reported friction. Affiliate links pay our bills — they do not influence the order firms appear in.

Verified discounts

CHAMP codes re-tested every Monday.

The CHAMP discount code is verified at checkout against each firm every Monday morning. If it stops working anywhere, we remove it from the deals page within 24 hours.

What funded traders say about PropChamps.

Reviews from active futures traders who use PropChamps to track firm rule changes before funding new accounts.

"PropChamps caught the Apex consistency-rule change before my next payout request. Saved me from a denial. The weekly audits are the only thing I trust to be current."

"I check the deals page before every new account. The CHAMP code stacking on Apex saved me $600 on one purchase. They re-verify weekly, so I actually trust the discount is live."

"The compare tool is genuinely useful. Pick 4 firms, hit compare, see which one wins on payout split and drawdown side by side. Most comparison sites are useless — this one isn't."
