These links go to each firm’s own site, and no firm pays us for its position. The order comes from measured columns only. How we make money
On-chain payouts
Paid to traders, measured on-chain
This firm does not appear in the on-chain payout aggregator.
Only 39 of the 102 firms in the census appear in the on-chain aggregator. A firm that pays by bank transfer does not show up here, and that does not mean it does not pay. It means this figure cannot be checked on a blockchain.

These are the rules the firm publishes for all its accounts. Where a specific model says otherwise, the model wins, and it appears below with its own source.
Leverage, commissions and instruments
Not comparable between firms, so not a sortable column. 6 firms publish commissions in three units: per side, per round trip, and prose per model. Per side versus round trip is a factor of two. Each figure keeps the name and unit the firm gives it.

they define it as 'taking on too much total risk ACROSS OPEN POSITIONS', and they expressly include 'multiple trades that collectively increase overall exposure' and 'correlated positions that amplify risk'
'placing trades heavily biased in one direction or based on a single idea'
they do not publish a single threshold: no percentage, no leverage multiplier, no exposure cap. They judge it themselves
TWENTIETH of the risk-per-idea family, and one of the vaguest about it

Only what can close your account, taken from the census. Every line with its source. There is no severity ranking and no recommendation. What fits you depends on how you trade.
