Prop firm & evaluation directory

Evaluation firms are not the same as regulated retail brokers. ESTVELO separates their program rules, simulated-account structures, eligibility and payout conditions from broker regulation.

How ESTVELO evaluates this category

We use provider terms, help centers and current program pages. ESTVELO avoids presenting an advertised account size as equivalent to a cash investment account unless the provider explicitly documents that structure.

Fees, targets, loss limits, payout rules, prohibited strategies and country restrictions can change. Check the current provider terms immediately before purchase.

Paying an evaluation fee does not guarantee passing an evaluation, receiving a provider account or receiving a payout.
