The FundedTime research team reviews prop firm rules, pricing and payout terms directly from official help centers and terms of service, and re-checks them on a regular schedule. Every review and guide lists its sources and the date it was last checked.
What the team covers
The team researches and writes FundedTime's prop firm reviews, rankings, head-to-head comparisons, payout guides and educational articles. Coverage spans forex/CFD and futures prop firms, from how evaluations and drawdown rules work to what happens after a first payout.
How the team works
For each firm, the team keeps one structured record covering pricing, profit targets, daily loss limits, maximum drawdown and drawdown type, consistency and news trading rules, EA policy, first payout timing, payout frequency, payout methods and whether the fee is refundable. Figures are taken from the firm's own website, help center and terms. The official sources are listed on the review, alongside a verified-on date and a data status of Verified, Partially verified or Needs review. If a detail cannot be confirmed, it is shown as "Not verified" rather than estimated.
Firms are scored with the same published methodology, which weights trust and track record, rules and trading conditions, payout terms, cost and value, and data verification. When a firm announces a rule change, or a reader reports one, the team re-checks the official pages and updates the record and its date.
Independence
FundedTime has no ownership relationship with any prop firm it covers. Some firms pay affiliate commissions, and some placements are sponsored and labelled as such. Neither affects a firm's score or rank, and partner firms are reviewed with the same methodology as every other firm. See the full disclosure for details.
The team's content is educational and is not financial advice. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of loss, so always confirm current rules on the firm's own site before buying a challenge.
