Vetted Prop Firms
Vetted Prop Firms is an independent platform that evaluates, ranks, and compares proprietary trading firms for both retail and professional traders. It covers firms dealing with forex, futures, and crypto. Reviews are based on direct testing rather than copied marketing materials. Vetted Prop Firms is not a broker, does not provide funding, and is not owned by any proprietary trading firm.
The platform was established in 2025 by Fred Harrington, who noticed that most directories ranking prop firms did so based on affiliate payouts rather than the quality of rules, reliability of payouts, and treatment of traders after they passed the evaluation. Related sites apply the same review model to forex and crypto brokers.
All reviews, lists, and comparison pages are available for free. When a trader signs up with a listed firm through a link from Vetted Prop Firms, the site may receive a disclosed affiliate commission. Firms cannot buy rankings, listings, or positive reviews. Thousands of traders use the platform to create a shortlist of firms before paying for an evaluation or an instant-funded account.
What Vetted Prop Firms Does
Prop Firm Reviews
Vetted Prop Firms provides detailed reviews of proprietary trading firms in the forex, futures, and crypto sectors. Each review includes information on account sizes, profit splits, evaluation rules, drawdown mechanisms, payout cycles, platforms, and known weaknesses.
This helps traders get a clear picture of how a firm operates before they pay for a challenge or an instant account.
Side-by-Side Comparisons
Comparison pages put firms side by side based on key metrics such as challenge cost, profit target, drawdown type, minimum trading days, payout speed, and supported platforms.
Traders can easily see the differences between firms without having to visit multiple marketing sites and figure out the rules themselves.
Ranked Lists by Market and Use Case
Vetted Prop Firms maintains curated lists, such as the best prop firms, the best futures prop firms, the best crypto prop firms, firms that accept US clients, and firms suitable for specific platforms or account sizes.
These lists are intentionally kept small. Firms that fail payout, rule, or conduct checks are not included or removed.
Verified Discount Codes and Offers
The site publishes current discount codes and partner offers after confirming they work at checkout through the relevant affiliate link.
Traders can reduce the cost of evaluations without having to search for expired codes on social media.
