About PropTestLab
PropTestLab is an independent website that compares prop firms and trading VPS servers for US and English-speaking traders, with a special focus on those who automate their trading (cBots, Expert Advisors).
The prop firm market is young, moves fast, and buries the rules that really matter, such as the max daily loss, how it's calculated or whether bots are allowed, in scattered FAQs. Our job is to gather them, check them and present them in a way you can compare.
What we do
- We read each firm's official rules and record the date we checked them.
- We put them side by side so you compare like with like.
- We publish our hands-on tests (platforms, VPS, bot execution) as we go, stating clearly what was tested and what wasn't.
What we don't do
- We don't promise profits. Most challenge participants fail.
- We don't sell signals, courses or trading bots.
- We don't let a higher commission change a ranking.
