## What This Site Does

PropFirmTrend is an independent comparison and trader tools platform for proprietary (prop) trading firms offering funded accounts in futures and cryptocurrency markets. We combine deep pricing data with free trading tools that help traders choose firms AND pass evaluations.

We are futures-specialist first. Every firm we track offers futures trading (CME, NYMEX, COMEX contracts). We also cover 4 dedicated crypto prop firms.

## Core Features

### 1. Firm Comparison Engine
Side-by-side comparison of 22 futures firms and 4 crypto firms across every metric that matters:
- Evaluation pricing (monthly, one-time, hybrid models)
- Account sizes ($5K to $500K)
- Profit targets and drawdown rules (Trailing, EOD, Static, Intraday)
- Payout splits (70-100%), frequency, minimums, methods
- Trading rules: consistency requirements, minimum trading days, news trading, weekend holding
- Activation fees, scaling plans, max accounts allowed
- Platform support (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, DXtrade, TradeLocker, ByBit)
- Active discount codes with real promo pricing

### 2. Firm Cost Calculator
Interactive tool to compare the true cost of prop firm evaluations. Factors in monthly fees, one-time fees, activation costs, and available discount codes to show effective cost per firm and account size. Helps answer "which firm gives me the most buying power for my budget."

### 3. Risk Calculators & Position Sizing Tools
Free position sizing and risk management calculators built for futures traders. Calculate contracts, dollar risk, and position size based on account balance, risk percentage, and stop-loss distance. Designed around prop firm drawdown rules.

### 4. Risk & Psychology Lab (FREE)
Trading psychology toolkit that helps traders manage the mental side of prop firm evaluations. Includes tilt detection, emotional state tracking, and discipline frameworks. Addresses the #1 reason traders fail evaluations: not strategy, but psychology.

### 5. Trading Journal Suite (FREE)
Full-featured trading journal for tracking trades, identifying patterns, and building consistency. Includes performance analytics, mistake categorization, and trade review workflows. Specifically designed around prop firm evaluation requirements like consistency rules and drawdown tracking.

### 6. Real Trader Reviews & Payout Proofs
Verified trader reviews with actual payout proof documentation. Real experiences from funded traders showing what firms actually pay, how fast, and through which methods. Not aggregated from third parties — direct trader submissions.

### 7. Firm Health Scores & Trust Ratings
Proprietary trust rating system that evaluates prop firm reliability. Scores firms based on payout consistency, rule transparency, trader feedback, company history, and financial stability. Helps traders avoid unreliable firms.

### 8. Economic Calendar & Conflict Scorer
Live economic data integration powered by FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data). 50+ economic events auto-filled with 5-minute caching. Green "FRED: value" indicators in the Conflict Scorer. Manual badges for ISM/FOMC events. Helps traders understand which upcoming events may affect their trading and which firms restrict news trading.
