Prop Firm Comparison Database

Who this is for

Traders shopping their first prop firm. Traders considering switching firms. Traders juggling multiple firms who want to compare payout terms without visiting 20 websites.

The problem it solves

Picking a prop firm is a data problem, not a marketing problem. Firms rewrite their rules quarterly. Payout policies buried in FAQ pages. Trailing drawdown vs. end-of-day drawdown — one word difference, thousands of dollars of consequence. This database puts the data side-by-side.

Frequently asked

Questions before you buy.

How often is it updated?

Quarterly. Every subscriber gets an email with the new version when firm rules change materially.

Can I request a firm to be added?

Yes — reply to the delivery email with the firm name and website, and we'll evaluate for the next quarterly update.

Is this financial advice or a firm recommendation?

No. This is data. We include firms we would not personally use. The decision framework helps you narrow down, but the choice is yours.

Are you affiliated with any of the firms?

No. LedgerFlex is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any prop firm listed.

What if a firm's rules change right after I buy?

You get the updated database in the next quarterly release, delivered by email. Rules change every 60-90 days on average — this is a living database.
