Get funded.
Live the vibes.
I've tested 50+ prop firms with my own money, and blown real accounts, so you don't have to.
- Independent, no firm can buy a rating
- Real payouts, real accounts
- 50+ firms tested
Some firms pay me a commission. It never changes my ranking. Personally tested and research-based firms are labeled separately.
I'm Paul. I trade full-time on funded capital. For each hands-on test, I buy the eval, trade it for real, and publish exactly what happened.
I trade prop firms with my own money,
so you never have to gamble with yours.

ComparisonsWhy I do this.
I blew real accounts before I figured prop trading out. PTV is the resource I wish I'd had. Honest, tested, no hype.
The goal is simple: fund the freedom to travel, train, eat well and show up for the people I love, and help you skip the expensive mistakes I made getting here.
Frequently asked questions
Which prop firm is the best?
It depends on your goals, eval preferences and markets. Some traders prioritise payout speed, others rules or platforms. Browse the ranked list to find your fit.

No single winner. Compare verified options like Topstep, Apex, Tradeify and Lucid. I have personally tested 50+ firms with my own money; research-only coverage is labeled.
