Prop Firm Atlas is an independent guide to proprietary trading (prop) firms and funded-account challenges. We map the verifiable facts — who runs each firm, where it is registered, and the regulatory and counterparty risk by country — and never publish profit splits, payout times or ratings we have not confirmed. Trading involves significant risk of capital loss; this is not financial advice.
