How we rank firms and verify codes

What we check for every firm

• Account sizes and list prices, taken from the firm’s checkout.
• The discount code: amount, what it applies to, whether it is first-purchase only and whether it combines with other codes.
• Profit targets per phase, daily loss limit (and what it is measured on), max loss, static or trailing drawdown, and the daily reset time.
• Profit split, payout frequency, minimum, method and processing time.
• Platform and execution, tradable markets, leverage and trading fees.
• Company details: legal entity, jurisdiction and background, when the firm publishes them.

Sources

Facts come only from the firm’s own website, rulebook, documentation, FAQ and checkout. Third-party reviews are never used as a source for rules or prices. Every firm page lists the official pages it was built from.

If we cannot verify a fact from an official source, we don’t publish it. The page says “Not stated by the firm” or leaves the line out.

Verification dates

Each firm page shows a “Verified” date, which is the last time its codes, prices and rules were checked against the sources. The date in the masthead is the most recent check across all firms. When a firm changes a price, code or rule, we update the page and its date.

Discount codes are checked against the firm’s checkout or its official referral terms.

How the ranking is ordered

• Rules clarity and verifiability: are limits, resets and payout conditions published and unambiguous?
• Real cost after the discount: cheapest entry and fee per $1 of max loss.
• Payout terms: frequency, minimum, method and stated processing time.
• Platform and execution: where prices and fills come from, markets and leverage.
• Track record and transparency: the team behind the firm and whether a legal entity is published.

The final order is an editorial decision made with these criteria. We don’t publish numeric scores, because they would suggest a precision the inputs can’t support. PERPSCOPE has affiliate agreements with the firms it lists, as stated on every page.

Metrics we calculate

• Price with code: list price minus the firm’s discount, using the firm’s own rounding rule.
• Fee per $1 of max loss: price with code divided by the max-loss allowance in dollars. Lower means more drawdown room per dollar spent.
• Profit to earn the fee back: price with code divided by the profit split.
• Static drawdown: the loss floor is fixed. Trailing drawdown: the floor follows the highest balance until it reaches the starting balance.

Corrections
