Founder & rule-tracker, Honest Prop Firms (pen name)
I read the fine print so you don't get breached by it. Every rule on this site comes from a firm's own website, help center or terms, linked, dated, and re-checked.
What I do
- Read each firm's official rules, FAQ and terms, not affiliate summaries
- Record 228 rule values across 23 firms, each with its source link
- Flag rule changes and shutdown news, and label source quality
- Mark anything I can't confirm as “Not verified” instead of guessing
What I don't do
- Sell rankings. Order is by verified data, never commission
- Claim credentials I don't have. I'm not a licensed adviser and this isn't financial advice
- Post screenshots of “my P&L” to sell you a challenge
Why a pen name?
The work should stand on its sources, not on a persona. Every claim here is checkable in one click. That's the point.
