Payout Reliability Score (PRS): PropWorld's 0–100 score of how much a prop firm pays its traders and how sustainable that flow looks, computed from six published components: lifetime payout volume verified by Payout Junction, verified payouts over the last 30 days, audience size, month-over-month momentum, the operator's rating and years on market. Reported as "not available", never as 0, when a firm has no verified payout record or no traffic data. The full formula and its version history are on the methodology page.
Cashflow warning: A disclosure badge for a firm with between 10,000 and 100,000 monthly visits whose verified payouts exceeded $3,000 per 1,000 visits over the last two complete months — heavy payout outflow relative to the likely inflow of new customers. Computed from those published thresholds, not an opinion.
Limited data: The operator's manual flag that a firm's numbers rest on thin data — a very low traffic reading, or a short payout-verification history — and should be read with more caution than the rest of the board.
Market: Which market a firm funds: Futures, CFD, Perps (perpetual crypto futures) or Both (CFD and futures). Set per firm from its public offering and shown as — when not yet verified; never a default.
Assets: The instrument classes a firm's profile lists (forex, indices, metals, energy, crypto, stocks, futures and so on). A separate field from Market: a futures firm trades futures contracts on indices and energy, a CFD firm trades the same underlyings as CFDs.
Time windows: Payout figures are shown over the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days (rolling windows, UTC, as the source computes them) and for all time since the source began tracking a firm. Traffic figures are per calendar month. The window is always stated next to the figure, and a figure for one window is never compared with another.
Monthly visits: Estimated total visits to the website in the selected month.
Month-over-month change (MoM): Month-over-month change in visits versus the previous month.
Visits trend: Monthly visits we've recorded so far. The series grows each month as we keep tracking.
Bounce rate: Share of visits that leave after viewing just one page — lower usually means more engaged traffic.
Pages per visit: Average number of pages a visitor views per visit.
Average visit duration: Average time a visitor spends on the site per visit.
Global rank: Worldwide traffic rank across all websites. Lower is better.
Country rank: Traffic rank within the site's top country. Lower is better.
Category rank: Traffic rank within the site's industry category. Lower is better.
Traffic sources: How visitors arrive: direct, organic search, social, referrals, mail and paid. Shares are estimates and may not total 100%.
Top countries: Share of visits by the visitor's country.
Organic keywords: Top organic search terms driving visitors — with monthly search volume, cost-per-click, and estimated traffic value.
Payout: A single payout a prop firm sent to a funded trader, verified and published by Payout Junction and recorded in USD.
Payout count: Total number of verified payouts recorded for a firm.
Payout rail: The payment route a payout travelled: Rise (a payout provider many firms use) or Direct Crypto (the firm paying a trader directly). Where volume is split between rails, the split is estimated from the source's charts rather than measured.
Median payout: The middle verified payout for a firm — half were larger, half smaller. Less distorted by a handful of very large payouts than the average.
Verified via: Which payment routes Payout Junction checked for this firm. A firm may also pay through channels the source does not cover, which would not appear here.
Max allocation: The largest account size a firm will fund a trader with.
Challenge type: The evaluation format a firm uses before funding a trader.
TrustPilot rating: The firm's average rating on TrustPilot, out of 5. Collected by TrustPilot, not by PropWorld, and snapshotted monthly.
Our review: PropWorld's own editorial score for a firm, separate from its TrustPilot rating.
