Who writes this
I'm a funded trader. I've traded for 8 years: crypto first, then forex, and now mainly NQ futures and gold.
On the prop side I've bought 100+ evaluations from firms including FTMO, Topstep, Apex, FundedNext, Lucid Trading, Tradeify, FundingPips, Crypto Fund Trader and Hola Prime. I passed 40+ and failed more than that.
What I've been paid
I've been paid over $50,000 in total, by FTMO, Lucid Trading and Crypto Fund Trader. The payout certificates on this site cover $42,363.76 of that total (FTMO $26,138.16, Lucid Trading $2,000 and Crypto Fund Trader $14,225.60). They are blurred because the name on them is mine.
Firms not on that list have not paid me. Where a review says "it hasn't paid me yet" or "I haven't traded this firm", that is literally true.
Why anonymous
Payout certificates carry a real name, and I keep it private, so I blur it. You are right to be careful about trusting an anonymous author. That is why the site shows blurred certificates, labels what was researched versus traded, and discloses how we earn money. See how we rank firms and the affiliate disclosure.
What I look for
Drawdown rules decide most outcomes. Intraday trailing drawdown cost me Apex accounts again and again, so I stopped buying it. On futures I only buy end-of-day trailing, which has still ended funded accounts of mine that were in profit. On CFD firms I only trade static drawdown.
What this site is not
It is not financial advice, and nothing here promises you will pass an evaluation or get paid. Most people who buy one do not pass. Evaluations run on simulated accounts, not live capital.

Risk warning: Trading futures, forex and CFDs carries a high risk of loss. Prop firm evaluations use simulated accounts, not live capital, and most people who buy one do not pass. Past results, including mine, do not guarantee future results. Nothing on this site is financial advice.
