An independent media desk covering prop firms, funded traders and the money that actually leaves those firms. We collect payout evidence published in the open, verify it against its source, and keep it in one permanent public record. No firm pays to be listed. No firm pays to be verified.
No firm buys a rank or a score.
Every page signed by a named editor.
Every proof links back to its source.
Prop firms advertise payout totals nobody can audit, and traders pick where to send their money based on Discord screenshots and pages written by the firms themselves. When a firm stops paying, the evidence scatters within weeks.
There was no neutral record, so we built one. Every payout we publish points back to a public source anyone can open and check. That single rule is why our verified list is short, and why it stays short.
Whether you placed your first trade last week or you have been funded for years, there is an entry point that matches where you are.
The archive itself. Real payouts, traced to a firm, an amount, a date and a public post. Start here if you want to know whether a firm actually pays.
UPDATED DAILY 02 · DEALSActive codes, checked daily and pulled when they expire. Evaluation pricing moves constantly, and a stale code costs you money.
UP TO 90% OFF 03 · LABFirm by firm coverage of what decides whether you get paid: drawdown rules, consistency rules, payout schedules and track record.
39 FIRMS 04 · DESKPlain-language guides written by funded traders. What a prop firm is, how an evaluation works, how a payout reaches your bank account.
FREE 05 · TOOLSYour real expected cost to reach funded, resets and activation fees included. The number a pricing page never shows you.
NEW 06 · WIREThe live feed. Verified payouts as they land, newest first, so you can watch the record build in real time.
LIVE FEEDThe same 4 steps for every firm, partners included. We publish the method because a claim you cannot audit is worth nothing.
Pulled from public posts on X and Reddit, never supplied by a firm. We do not publish a firm's own numbers as proof of that firm.
Amount and date matched against the original post before it logs. Recycled screenshots and altered figures get rejected here.
Every proof carries a live link to its source. Follow it and check us. That option is the point, not a courtesy.
Timestamped with an ID and never edited after publishing. When something turns out wrong, we publish a correction rather than quietly rewrite the record.
The firm has cleared our evidence threshold: enough independently sourced payouts, with certificates or proofs we were able to cross-check. 5 firms hold this status today.
The firm is monitored and documented, but has not yet met that threshold. Tracked is not an accusation. It means we are still collecting, and we will not pretend otherwise.
We use AI to read a volume of public posts no small team could cover by hand. It does the reading. It does not do the judging.
Every page on this site is reviewed, corrected and signed by a named member of the editorial team. The people making those calls have spent years inside this market as traders, as funded traders and as analysts, and they answer for what goes out under their name. AI is how a small team covers an entire industry. It is not the editor.
6 people, real names, real time spent in this market. Every article is signed by the person who wrote it.
10 years in finance and 7 in prop trading, spent analysing how firms price, fund and pay traders. Built Trader Payout to put that record in public.
10 years trading, 7 of them analysing prop firms from the inside, with 25+ evaluations passed. Writes the firm reviews and the breakdowns of rules, fees and payout terms.
Runs the archive day to day: sourcing public proofs, cross-checking amounts and dates, and logging every entry that enters the record.
Runs search strategy and site architecture so the record stays findable, and keeps the technical foundations of the site clean.
Shapes how the archive is read: the interface, the certificate displays and the visual language that holds the whole site together.
Turns payout data into something readable, from firm comparison layouts to the proof wall and the live feed.
We earn affiliate commissions from some of the firms we cover, at no extra cost to you. That money pays the team, covers the running costs of the company and funds what we build next.
Being explicit about this protects you and keeps us honest.
We are a media outlet. Nothing published here is financial advice, and past payouts by a firm do not guarantee future ones. Trading futures carries a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Do your own research before funding an account with any firm.
A team of 6 working under their real names: a founder with 10 years in finance and 7 in prop trading, 2 editors covering firm analysis and payout verification, a head of SEO and 2 designers. Nobody publishes anonymously here.
We use AI to read large volumes of public posts, extract structured data and draft reference copy. It never decides a verification status, never rates a firm and never publishes on its own. Every page is reviewed, corrected and signed by a named human editor before it goes live.
Yes, indirectly. We earn affiliate commissions from some of the firms we cover, at no extra cost to you. Those relationships never move a verification status, a score or a ranking. No firm can buy a place in the directory, no firm sees a review before publication, and every affiliate link is disclosed on the page where it appears.
Published entries are never silently rewritten. When an error is confirmed, we publish a correction and say what changed. Anyone can flag a mistake, including the firm concerned, and we will review it.
Spotted an error or a firm classified wrongly? Tell us and we will review it publicly.
Commercial enquiries. Handled separately from editorial, by design.
