We build tools and teach
the thinking behind them.
PropEdge is published by Steely Systems. We bring education, engineering and practical problem-solving to the research a trader does before choosing a prop firm program.
What PropEdge helps you understand
We explain how retail evaluations and funded stages work, compare exact plan rules, model costs and show the eligibility behind dated public offers. Our focus is the decision: what you pay, what can end an account, and which conditions apply before a payment can be requested.
How we support the answers
Firm profiles link to official plan pages, help centers and terms. Source-review dates describe when the evidence was checked. Missing information and contradictory terms remain visible. Our guide separates hypothetical teaching examples from firm-specific research.
