About PropLumio
PropLumio helps new traders choose a prop firm based on facts: what a challenge really costs, how the rules work and how payouts are paid.
Why I built PropLumio
Choosing a prop firm is harder than it should be. Prices, drawdown rules and payout terms are spread across help-center articles, they change often, and many comparison sites are written to get clicks rather than to help traders decide. I built PropLumio to put the facts that matter in one place and explain them in plain English, so beginners can pick a firm that fits how they trade.
Who runs PropLumio
Modestas R.Founder & editor · Trading forex, futures, crypto, stocks since 2022PropLumio is a one-person project. I research, write and update every page myself. I have been involved in crypto since 2015, mining and staking, and I have traded forex, futures, crypto and stocks since 2022. I write from a trader's point of view.
How I research prop firms
- Prices and rules come from each firm's official website, help center and terms, and every page shows the date its data was last checked.
- Firms are scored with the same published methodology.
- Every review lists the official pages it was checked against. The reviews of The5ers, E8 Markets and FundingPips include payouts I received myself, with the certificates the firms issued; the other reviews are based on each firm's published terms. When I trade with a firm, the review says so and shows the evidence.
How PropLumio makes money
PropLumio is free to use. I may earn affiliate commissions from some of the firms listed, which pays for the site. Commissions never decide a firm's score or position, and firms I do not earn from are listed too. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
