Payout proof, documented as events

This page is the index of my own test record across prop firms: which firms I funded with my own money, what happened, and the payout events behind the claims in my reviews.

Amounts are redacted as a matter of policy. Counts, dates, firms, payout rails, and processing times are the record. Redacted screenshots will appear here cycle by cycle as I digitize and publish them.

The ledger

The screenshot ledger is being digitized cycle by cycle and rows appear here as each one is published with the amount blacked out. Until then, the per-firm records below are the current documentation, and each linked review carries the full story.

How to read this

A firm only appears here if I put my own money through it. Firms I cover from published rules alone are marked research-based across the site and carry no score. The rating methodology, including why amounts stay private, is documented on the methodology page.
