Prop firms: the full directory (2026)
Advertiser disclosure: some links on this page may be affiliate links, meaning BrokerCatalogue may earn a commission if you buy an evaluation. Rankings on this page are computed from the Pipswire AI Visibility Index (an independent, published dataset) and the firm data in our catalogue; they are never changed for advertisers.
We track 76 proprietary trading firms: who funds forex, CFD, futures and crypto traders, on what terms, and how often the AI assistants traders now ask actually recommend each firm. Every profile shows the evaluation models, drawdown rules, profit split, entry price, platforms, broker backing and current status, with the source pages we checked.

How this ranking works: the score is the Pipswire AI Visibility Index for Q3 2026 (method 1.1) — 2,344 answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and the Google top ten across 16 markets, combining how often a firm is named (40%), whether and how high it is recommended (30%), the tone of the mention (15%) and whether the engine cites the firm's own site (15%). It measures visibility, not quality: a high score means AI assistants recommend the firm often, not that it is right for you. Closed firms are excluded. Full index and CSV (CC BY 4.0).

Risk warning: prop firms are not regulated brokers or investment firms. Evaluations are paid, fees are usually non-refundable, most accounts are simulated, and a firm can change its rules or stop paying out. Most participants fail the evaluation. Nothing on this page is financial advice; read the firm's terms before you pay.
