ZenonTradezFutures prop trader, runs InsidePropFirm
I've traded the markets for more than 5 years, and I trade micro index futures (MNQ, MES and MYM) on prop firm accounts. I run InsidePropFirm to help beginners see exactly what they're buying before they pay for a challenge: the real price after discounts, the rules that fail most traders, and how payouts actually work.
My own prop firm experience: I currently trade a Tradeify Futures 25K Growth account, I've traded evaluations with FundingPips, MyFundedFutures (MFFU) and Lucid Trading, and I've received payouts from FundingPips. That's why our posts focus on the details that actually decide whether you pass and get paid: drawdown type, daily loss, consistency rules and payout conditions.

Where our data comes from
- The firm's own website: pricing pages, the checkout (to confirm the price after the code), rules pages, FAQs and help-centre articles.
- Primary sources for market facts: exchange contract specs (for example CME Group for MNQ, MES and MYM) and central bank calendars for news-trading posts.
- Every article lists its sources at the bottom, linking to the exact official pages we used.
We never copy a firm's marketing claims as facts. If a firm doesn't publish a rule clearly, we say so and tell you to confirm it before buying.
What we compare on every firm
Real costRegular price, price after our code, activation or reset fees, and whether the fee is refunded.

Trading conditionsPlatforms, news trading, EAs, weekend holding and contract limits.
How we keep it current
- Daily price check. We compare the prices and codes on our site against each firm's live pricing every day.
- Twice-weekly refresh. Posts whose prices, codes or rules have changed are updated, along with any verdict that depended on them.
- Dated fact-checks. Every new article shows a "Fact-checked" date, the day its numbers were last checked against the firm's official site.
- Corrections. If you spot something wrong, tell us and we'll check it and fix it.
How we decide what to recommend
We never publish invented ratings, pass rates, payout totals or user reviews. Instead, every "best for" pick says who the plan suits, who it doesn't, and the trade-offs, based on the rules and prices above. A cheap challenge with a tight trailing drawdown isn't a bargain for most beginners, so we explain why.
How we make money
InsidePropFirm earns a commission when you buy a challenge through our links or use our discount codes. You pay the same price or less. We currently cover 14 firm programs, all of which we have partnerships with, so our list isn't every prop firm on the market. Commissions never change the prices, rules or downsides we publish, and every firm we cover gets its cons listed.
InsidePropFirm is for information and education only and is not financial advice. Trading futures, forex and CFDs carries a high risk of loss, and most traders don't pass their first evaluation. Always read the firm's own rules before you buy.
